Frisco, TX. (May 8, 2018) - My Dairy Dashboard announces it has received the Ag Data Transparent Seal Certification, which verifies to producers that a technology provider is following specific core principles for ag data ownership, consent and privacy. My Dairy Dashboard is the first livestock oriented technology company to become certified.
"Since we started in May of 2017, we have made great progress toward enabling dairy producers to make better decisions faster by automating the data collection and visualization of their data,” said, Mitch Norby, CEO of My Dairy Dashboard. “Through our platform, producers can collaborate with their veterinarians, nutritionists, genetics providers, feed companies, and others by sharing access to dashboards that display their data. All of this is geared toward helping the producer to improve their operation more efficiently."
Ensuring transparency in collection, use, access, portability, availability and retention are all required to be considered an Ag Data Transparent certified company. Only companies that meet all core principles regarding collection, access and ownership are awarded the certified seal.
"My Dairy Dashboard is committed to providing tools to make dairy farmers' data more accessible, valuable, and actionable,” added Norby. “From the very beginning, our team determined that our data processing and visualization platform must put the farmers in control of their data.

Portland, OR - May 8, 2018 - Moorea Masa has teamed up with opbmusic to exclusively stream her debut full-length album, Shine A Light, before it releases everywhere this Friday, May 11th! Check out the full album here: http://bit.ly/2I0L4jU
Shine A Light presents soulful tracks reminiscent of vocalists such as Emily King, Lianne La Havas, and Jamila Woods. Shine A Light was co-produced by Jeremy Most and thoughtfully explores topics such as love, loss, hidden pain, and the politics of being a woman. Speaking to the new record, Moorea explains, "Shine A Light comes from the depths of a sometimes-troubled childhood and expresses a belief that the unexamined life is not worth living. I'm really sharing my whole heart in this album."
"This year I've really been digging deep into my history, my own learning lessons, and the state of the world," she continues. "I feel like I took a light and shined it into all the darkness and beauty that I was previously too scared to look at."
Songs have always been there for Moorea Masa, being raised in the musical mecca of Portland, Oregon. The daughter of an Italian immigrant father and an African-American mother born abroad, this singer/songwriter/guitarist has been making music for as long as she can remember. At fifteen, she was already looking for chances to perform by sneaking into local clubs, where she was lovingly adopted into the vibrant community of Portland musicians. Masa then left to study at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in England, and spent time living in a cave and soaking in flamenco music in Granada, Spain. Returning home to the Pacific Northwest, Masa began her music career in earnest.
Not just writing and performing her own original material, she recorded with El Vy and The Decemberists, sang with soul legend Ural Thomas (who appears on the new album), and toured with Allen Stone. As a solo artist, she's garnered major praise from Corinne Bailey Rae, The Motet, Nick Waterhouse, and many more. Now 25 years old, she has been touring with crooner KD Lang as she preps for the release of Shine A Light.

Justice Department Reveals it May Provide Judicial Watch with Previously Redacted Portions of Rosenstein ‘Scope of Authority’ Mueller Memo
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today announced the Justice Department disclosed that it may soon provide the organization with additional, previously withheld material from the heavily redacted August 2 memorandum in which Rod Rosenstein granted broad authority to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The memo, controversially, was written in May 2017, three months after Mueller’s appointment. The Justice Department’s notice to Judicial Watch came almost immediately after the explosive District Court hearing in which Judge T.S. Ellis III demanded the full memorandum be made available to the court in two weeks, by May 18.
In a May 4 response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, the agency revealed that it is now “processing the August 2 memo to determine if it can release additional portions that have not already been filed publicly.” The Justice Department had previously refused to acknowledge that any such “scope” documents exist.
Judicial Watch filed its FOIA lawsuit against the Justice Department on October 5, 2017, after the agency failed to respond to a July 10, 2017, request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-02079)). Judicial Watch is seeking:
A few hours after Judge Ellis’s explosive hearing, the Justice Department officially admitted to Judicial Watch that a scope memo existed:
As you are no doubt aware, in conjunction with its opposition to Paul Manafort’s motion to dismiss his criminal indictment, the United States filed on that criminal docket a redacted version of an August 2, 2017, Memorandum regarding ‘The scope of Investigation and Definition of Authority’ conferred on the Special Counsel….
In light of the Special Counsel’s public acknowledgement of the August 2 memo, the government has been assessing whether the acknowledgment alters its prior response to Request No. 3 [for documents describing the scope of Mueller’s authority] of the FOIA request at issue in this suit, and processing the August 2 memorandum to determine if it can release additional portions that have not already been filed publicly, but needs some additional time to complete these tasks.
“We are pleased, especially after Judge Ellis’s hearing, that our lawsuit is causing the Justice Department to rethink its cover-up of the ‘scope memo’ for Mueller,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Judicial Watch has never before seen this level of secrecy and cover-up surrounding the operation of a special or independent counsel.”
In the August 2 memorandum obtained by Judicial Watch, Rosenstein reiterated the broad authority he gave Mueller in his May order authorizing the special counsel:
[T]o conduct “the investigation confirmed my then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on March 20, 2017, including: (1) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and (2) any matters that arose or may arise directly from that investigation….”
The May 17, 2017 order was worded categorically in order to permit its public release without confirming specific investigations involving specific individuals. This memorandum provides a more specific description of your authority. The following allegations were within the scope of the Investigation at the time of your appointment and are within the scope of the Order…
The Justice Department then redacted all of the “following allegations.”
The August Rosenstein memorandum also included a section providing Mueller a “more specific description of your authority,” authorizing the special counsel to expand his prosecution of former Trump advisor Paul Manafort by investigating:
Allegations that Paul Manafort:
The Justice Department then redacted additional material apparently detailing the “crime or crimes” relating to Ukraine that Mueller was authorized to investigate.
Judicial Watch is pursuing numerous additional FOIA lawsuits related to the surveillance, unmasking, and illegal leaking targeting President Trump and his associates during the FBI’s investigation of potential Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.
