Drought is one of the most severe natural disasters that have widespread impacts on eco-environment and agriculture. Great efforts have been made on the study of the non-stationarity of hydrometeorological processes, while few reports are available addressing non-stationarity in drought index. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to develop a non-stationary standardized precipitation evaporation index (NSPEI) based on standardized precipitation evaporation index and non-stationary theory with the aim of investigating drought conditions across China in both space and time under different emission scenarios from 2006 to 2100. The results indicated that: (1) Stations with non-stationary hydrometeorological processes are concentrated in northeast China, the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, the Yangtze River Delta, the Tibetan Plateau, the Hengduan Mountains, and the southern Xinjiang. The NSPEI has the best fitting performance at 88% of the meteorological stations considered in this study. (2) Compared with other drought indices, SPEI tends to overestimate the intensity and duration of droughts during evaluations of the future drought changes; while NSPEI avoids the weakness of SPEI in overestimation of drought intensity. Therefore, NSPEI can better monitor the meteorological droughts in China and describe the future drought changes across the country. (3) Drought monitoring results based on NSPEI indicated an increasing drought trend in northern China, and southern China is dominated by a wetting trend under the scenario of low and high emissions. Extreme dry and wet duration and occurrence frequency showed an increasing trend in China in the future under medium and high emission scenarios.

1) The old town city walls from above look like a fish bone!
The one and only, Marco Polo, the famous explorer born in Korčula. Through this exhibition, you can embark on a journey from Korčula, see him in a desert caravan, and follow him to the palace of the famous Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan in one of the seven exhibition halls. The exhibit truly brings to life his adventures with outstanding set design and realistic figures.
St. Mark's Cathedral is the most attractive Gothic and Renaissance building in Korčula. It was built by local stonemasons between 14th and 16th century with the support of Italian masters. The most famous local stonemason was Marko Andrijić, whose masterpieces are the upper part of the campanile and the ciborium above the high altar in the central nave. The Gothic and Romanesque main portal was built by the Italian master, Bonino da Milano.
Moreška is an enticing sword dance that has been played in Korčula since 1571. Moreška was brought to Korcula from Spain via Dubrovnik. The dance is performed by two groups of young men, "Moreškanti", one group are clothed in red and the other in a black. They fight for Bula, the red King's fiancé, who has been kidnapped by black King Moro.
Lešić Dimitri Palace stands within the heart of Korčula, with a refined elegance and style. Both the restaurant and its apartments were designed by an Asian-Croatian team of architects and interior designers and were inspired by Korčula's famous resident Marco Polo and his travels along the Silk Road.
Filippi is a well-known restaurant on Petar Kanavelić walkway, known as Zakerjan by the local townsfolk. In this exceptionally attractive location tables are set directly above the water and look out over the Pelješac channel and islands of the Korčula archipelago.
Located a few kilometres off the main road from Korčula and heading towards the countryside, Maha is a quaint tavern and a family homestead. The interior is in traditional Dalmatian style with stone walls, rustic furnishings, and delicate lighting. The garden and terrace area are perfect for a traditional meal or a refreshing drink.
They serve a great mix of traditional and modern food that includes fresh fish and vegetarian meals. Only local and quality products are used in meals, made with freshly picked spices and over 75% of vegetables, which are grown on the local eco-farm.
Konoba Maslina has been working for several years, always taking care of their guests' wishes & comfort. Its domestic atmosphere helps you to chill out and relax while eating a delicious array of local meals.
A small kitchen on the west side of Korčula produces delicious food made from fresh, local ingredients. Vegetables and fish are the basis of the menu, along with traditional pasta – "makaruni" – and homemade bread. Excellent local wines are also important for a delightful experience.
Even the name tells you that you will have a crazy night! Dos Locos has everything you need – great music, an awesome sound system, beautiful people, and an extremely cool vibe. A popular hang-out for young locals from Korčula that spills out into the street just behind the bus station.
A proper club that is busy day and night. This is a very popular nighttime spot in Korčula. It's located about 15 minutes' walk from the Old Town, but if you don't feel like walking it's quite easy to get a taxi. This is a great place to spend evenings or nights offering lovely views over the channel in the early morning.
A Korčula Institution since the 1970s, Caffe Servantes is a family-run bar and is an iconic place located in the heart of downtown Korčula near the bus station and local park. The atmospheric bar attracts an interesting crowd who like to spend their time socializing on the shady outdoor terrace.
Enjoy the ride on the beautiful, blue-green, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. Korčula and Pelješac archipelago cruise is an ideal opportunity to explore the local history and culture of these iconic towns. You will sail from the Pelješac peninsula to the first Greek colony of Lumbarda on the other side of the channel, visiting all the little places and islets, as well as having the chance to swim in the most beautiful, hidden bays in the southern Adriatic Sea.
Experience beautiful nature and wonderful Mediterranean climate and cultural heritage in and around Korčula by bike. Cycle carefree along beautiful bays on the greenest island of Croatia, the birthplace of the famous world traveller, Marco Polo. Bike tours here are fully catered, where you can sleep in good hotels with daily breakfast and dinner. All cycling holidays are guided.
Badija is an islet in the eastern part of the Pelješac channel with a surface of around 1 kilometer. The Ježevica Channel separates Pelješac from Korčula, and it's surely one of the best swimming stops in the Korčula archipelago. Along the coast, there are good anchoring sites for mid-sized vessels, while small boats can be moored west of the monastery.
The Korčula Town Museum is located in the Gabrielis palace, a perfect example of the residential architecture of the 15th and 16th century. The central square of the old town boasts decorative stone façade, with balconies and family crests Gabrielis. Here you can witness the cultural and economic history of Korčula from prehistoric times to the present day.
St. Anthony's hill is half an hour's walk from the center of Korčula, towards Lumbarda. It is a protected area of natural beauty. There are 102 steps to the top, bordered by a cypress alley planted in 1708. The summit is crowned by a small 14th-century church dedicated to St. Anthony the Abbot. During Bishop Španić's time, at the end of the 17th century, the church was renovated and dedicated to St. Anthony of Padova. The hilltop affords a beautiful view of the Korčulan archipelago hill.
This beautiful four-star family hotel is situated in a blissful traffic free zone and is within the immediate vicinity of a comfortable beach which provides the perfect setting for your ideal holiday in Korcula. Enjoy their luxurious rooms overlooking the sea.
Hotel Fabris is a 10-room boutique bed and breakfast in a restored 200-year-old seafront villa, which is in itself a piece of history. Set on the seafront in the old town, hotel Fabris prides itself on being a smart outfit, with cutting-edge WiFi capabilities and smart TVs, allowing access to a range of channels and entertainment from across the globe. The rooms are luxurious with only the finest modern touches.
This villa's location is really special, situated on the western end of the town mere walking distance to beaches, bars, shops, and restaurants. There is also a taxi boat service that can take you across to the town centre. The area is very peaceful, with no traffic nearby. You can enjoy your own piece of beach right in front of the villa, and a concrete plateau with a mooring for your exclusive use.
The best way to explore Korčula is by bike, car, or even boat. Rent a Car "Kaleta" is a perfect place to do that, and they will organize everything for you.
ACI Marina Korčula is situated right next to its historic centre. The town is 130 kilometres from Dubrovnik's Ćilipi Airport, and in the summer the island has good ferry connections to Orebić on the Pelješac peninsula to Split, Rijeka, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Lastovo, Hvar, and to Drvenik and the Italian towns of Ancona and Pescara. There are fast catamaran services to Lastovo, Hvar, and Split throughout the year, and to Dubrovnik in the summer.
Korčula port is located in the very centre of Korčula. It's easy walking distance to all the best buildings and attractions of this medieval town. Most of the large cruise liners actually dock just outside of the port in the area of Sveti Nikola and ferry passengers into the main port in their orange and white tenders. Walking around the port as well as the town is easy – you don't need to use public transport.


Ostrich Grey Quartzite from India is rich with grays and subtle veins. It is available in a wide variety of tile sizes, mosaics and slabs and is recommended for residential and commercial properties including floors, countertops and walls.
This product has a Natural cleft surface and due to the clefts on the surface it will not have an even thickness. This is perfectly normal for this product and that is what is the beauty of this tile. The back of this tile is gauged to enable installers to make the work easy while installing.


Deleting records with MySQL can be done by referencing records in another table by joining them together. This is useful if you need to delete data from one table based on the values in another, or if you want to delete records from one table where there are no associated records in the second table. Note that although the examples in this article show joins between two tables you can join three, four or more tables if required.
Using a join to delete records in MySQL is only possible with version 4.0 or higher. Unfortunately this is not possible using earlier versions of MySQL, ie 3.23 and earlier.
With MySQL you can do a cross table delete in one of two ways. The first is to use commas with an implicit inner join like in the example below. In these examples we're using a product and productPrice table where product info is stored in the product table and price information in the productPrice table. Each table has a productId field which is what we'll be joining them on.
The second way is to use "inner join" syntax as in the example below. This is my own personal preference for how to join tables together as it keeps the join conditions with the join statement instead of burying it in the where clause.
Note that you don't necessarily need to delete all records from all tables in the query. The example above could just delete from the productPrice table by changing the first line to delete product.*.
You can also use a left join to delete records using MySQL. An example of this is using our product and productPrice tables below, where we are deleting all the records from the product table where there is not an associated record in the productPrice table.
When testing these queries on a test database to make sure they actually executed I discovered it appears you cannot use the alias names for the data to delete (eg delete p.*) otherwise you get the error error 1066 not unique table/alias. To fix this error type in the full table name instead of the alias.
Note there is another article about how to update records with MySQL using a cross join which uses similar examples to update instead of delete.

Resolution to Reaffirm All People Are Created Equal and Reject Any Form of Bigoted Speech

Whereas, the Platform of the Salt Lake County Republican Party asserts: "WE AFFIRM FREEDOM FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL AS EXPRESSED IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION."
Whereas, violent actions and hateful rhetoric against Jewish and other minority populations have entered and increased in political discourse.
Therefore be it resolved, that the Executive Committee of the Salt Lake County Republican Party has and continues to reject any form of bigoted speech against any minority group. Our Party will not tolerate such speech within our party nor on the part of our political opponents."
This resolution is to be distributed widely.

Affymetrix Genechip Fluidics Station 400/450 FS1110 BONEYARD . New Life Scientific, Inc.
No bottles are included with these instruments. If you would like a particular serial number when you order, please message us stating which serial number you would like.
Very little cosmetic wear, in good working condition. Internally, these instruments are in excellent, clean condition. Often corrosion can build up in the fluidics station causing issues, but these are quite clean.
The GeneChip® Fluidics Station 450 contains four modules. Each module can hold one GeneChip® probe array cartridge and up to three 1.5 mL vials. The Affymetrix® GeneChip® Command Console (AGCC) software on the computer workstation, which is connected to the instrument, can control each of the four modules independently of the others. A single computer workstation can control as many as eight fluidics stations. You can use any or all of the modules at the same time. You can also choose a different protocol for each module as long as each uses the same Wash A and Wash B reagents. The modules are numbered 1 through 4 near the LCD window.


Or, in this instance, bumpety bump.
The last day always goes by in a whirl. It was still warm enough for shorts and flip-flops, but still a little on the bumpy side (it'll calm down again once we enter the Channel). A mixture of packing and filling in forms took up most of the day. Dad met with the Customer Services Manager to discuss not only the party in Ajaccio and the offence it probably caused, but the miserable way our complaint has been handled by her staff.
My cabin steward blotted his copybook tonight (not wise the day before tip day!), by not having finished my cabin by the time I came back from dinner. He said he had started at the other end today. Really? You've been so badly trained that no one told you to do the first sitting passengers while they are out, and then do the second sitting passengers when THEY, in turn, go for dinner? Seems pretty bloomin' obvious to me, but then I think I've been on cruise ships a lot longer than most of the crew on this ship. I've actually started to wonder if this is a training ship, where new staff come to learn their trade, before being let loose on 'proper' passengers on 'proper' ships. Because there isn't a single department on here that hasn't in some way behaved in an incompetent/ downright shambolic manner at some point over the last two weeks. Food? Tick. Cabins? Now tick. Reception/Customer Service? Tick. Maintenance? Didn't stop hammering during the minute's silence. Tick. It's pretty woeful, frankly.
Still, for all my apparent criticisms, the weather has been brilliant and all the ports enjoyable, so overall, we had a good time. We always do. It takes a lot to ruin a cruise in our eyes – we're usually just really happy to be there. But the little niggles that mar things, and prevent you from having an even better time, they're the ones that bug me. Because they CAN do it, when they can be bothered. It just seems that, on Oceana, at the moment, they can't.
Next cruise: January 2016. Toodle pip!


These compact combination pen/stylus tools clip to a key ring, zipper pull or backpack loop, so they are always conveniently at hand.
Made of carbon fiber and nylon, each is rugged but weighs just 0.35 oz (10g). The pressurized blue ink cartridge allows the pen to write in wet conditions, below-freezing weather or scorching heat, as well as upside down or under water.
Available in two versions. With the blue-capped pen, unscrewing the barrel from the carabiner cap and turning it end for end exchanges the pen for a stylus tip to use with touchscreen devices. The gray version also has pen and stylus ends, plus a cap with a stainless-steel pocket clip and a 15/16" S-Biner™ carabiner that attaches to the clip. When not in use, the small cap can be stored on the end of the large cap.
Each version is 4-1/4" long. Refill cartridge available separately.

Online Interview With Victoria Kayen Woo
Written by John Crumlish	for International Gymnast Magazine | Tuesday, 02 April 2019 08:15
Embarking this month on a training camp in Japan with her Canadian teammates, two-time World Championships competitor Victoria Kayen Woo is focusing on a top all-around finish at next month's Canadian Championships, as well as berths to this fall's Worlds in Stuttgart and next summer's Tokyo Olympic Games.
The 21-year-old Woo, who placed fifth all-around at last month's World Cup of Birmingham, has been a mainstay on the Canadian squad for the past two Olympic cycles. She trains under coaches Michel Charron and Marie-Josée Laperrière at Gym-Richelieu in Saint-Hubert, Quebec.
Woo finished 52nd all-around in qualifications at the 2014 Worlds in Nanning, and 44th all-around in qualifications at the 2015 Worlds in Glasgow. She was a member of Canada's silver medal-winning team at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, where she won the bronze medal on balance beam. Last year she was sixth all-around at both the Canadian Championships and Pacific Rim Championships in Colombia, and seventh all-around at the World Cup of Tokyo.
Woo, the older sister of 2016 Canadian Olympian Rose Kaying Woo, shares her thoughts and hopes in this IG Online interview.
IG: How did your performance in Birmingham boost your confidence for the big meets coming up, such as the Canadian Championships and World Championships?
VW: Competing alongside some of the world's best gymnasts really opened my eyes as to my belonging on the international plateau. I was very grateful to be given this opportunity, and this competition was certainly a milestone for my upcoming meets.
IG: At the 2014 Worlds and in Birmingham, you competed against your favorite gymnast, Aliya Mustafina. Why is she your favorite gymnast? And given that she is your favorite, how were you able to perform calmly against her?
VW: I have always loved her elegance and poise in her gymnastics. I always thought she was the nicest gymnast to watch. At first, I was a little bit intimidated by her, but I soon comforted myself by focusing on my gymnastics and staying calm. I just enjoyed the moment.
IG: Had you competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics, do you think you would still be competing today?
VW: My sister Rose Woo was part of the team and I traveled to Rio to watch her. Looking back to Rio, I would not have thought I would be still competing today. I had a scholarship for Ohio State University starting August 2016 and decided to stay home to compete one more year for Canada.
IG: What is the purpose of your team's training camp in Japan?
VW: It is a national team training camp. We are nine seniors traveling to train in Japan. The general objective of this camp is to familiarize ourselves in preparation for Tokyo 2020. It is also a team-building camp, which will be a lot of fun.
IG: What is your target for the Canadian Championships? Will you be aiming for a high all-around finish, or do you think you have a better chance to earn a spot for Stuttgart on one or more apparatuses?
VW: I consider myself to be more of an all-around gymnast, thus I will be aiming for a high all-around finish.
IG: Canada almost won a team medal at the 2018 Worlds (fourth place), and many people think Canada can continue to challenge for a team medal in Stuttgart and Tokyo 2020. What do you think Canada will need to improve in order to win team medals in those competitions?
VW: Yes, it was a record finish for Canada. I believe Canada has everything necessary to contend for a medal and just needs to focus on consistency and teamwork, and we will be back on track to maintaining our success.
IG: What do you think you can offer to the Canadian team in Stuttgart, and moreover, in Tokyo?
VW: I believe that I can contribute to Canada because I have a lot of international experience. I believe I also have a good team spirit.

Alex Patchen has extensive experience representing clients ranging from entrepreneurs and small businesses to Fortune 500 companies in complex commercial litigation and arbitration matters. He represents clients in all phases of complex commercial litigations in federal and state courts, as well as arbitral proceedings.
Mr. Patchen counsels clients in a wide range of industries including: software, financial, pharmaceutical, media, and consumer manufacturers. He also counsels on a diverse array of disputes, such as breach of contract, licensing disputes, bankruptcy and employment discrimination.
Mr. Patchen's litigation expertise also covers intellectual property disputes. He has represented clients to enforce patent rights, and owners of TV programs in enforcing their copyrights and trademarks against pirates; he has obtained a permanent injunction on behalf of two tech companies for misappropriation of their trade secrets; and he has successfully defended a licensor from a patent licensee seeking millions in royalties.
Mr. Patchen believes the best way to fully represent a client is to obtain a deep understanding of the client's business, and how a specific dispute impacts the business as a whole. The trusting relationships that develop allow him to implement efficient and pragmatic strategies that address both legal and business concerns. Where appropriate, Mr. Patchen recommends alternative dispute resolution.
Beyond his litigation experience, Mr. Patchen has represented the Trustee for the SIPA Liquidations of Lehman Brothers Inc. and MF Global Inc. In that role, he was responsible for the analysis, reconciliation, and close out of thousands of complex financial transactions.

The Innovative Enterprise
How can you make your company more innovative in 2015?
Chief Analytics OfficerChief Data OfficerChief Digital Officer
"With their organisations and industries under siege from hundreds of thousands of lean, digital start ups many industry leaders are starting to seed creative disruption initiatives within their own organisations in the bold hope of beating the waves of want to be disruptive entrepreneurs at their own game and recently I was fortunate enough to sit down with the CTO of one of Europe's largest utilities to understand what advice he'd give a Twentieth Century organisation trying to inject Twenty First Century DNA into their organisation."
Over the past decade utilities have seen more disruption than most and the implications on their hitherto centuries old stable businesses has been wide ranging. Local Micro Grids are disintermediating the incumbent utilities infrastructure at the same time that global conflicts and government sponsored climate change agreements like the Kyoto Protocol are forcing them to alter their energy mix, meanwhile on the other side of the coin new emerging technologies like Smart Grids and the Connected Home have given them, and their customers greater insights into the way that energy is consumed, and more importantly how it can be saved.
It is therefore completely understandable to see why innovation is an attractive option for so many utility companies and trying to carve out an agile innovation program within such venerable institutions can be challenging to say the least. Time and time again we see many of their innovation initiatives fail because the mind set and culture of the parent company all too often permeates into the new venture slowly suffocating many of the initiatives that make it stand out – and that's not just a problem that's unique to the utility sector.
Some innovation programs fail because people within the core business base their expectations of the new venture on enterprise KPI's which simply aren't appropriate in this new move fast fail fast world while other ventures collapse because teams try to build business cases and visions that rely on assumptions and hypotheses drawn from out of date and often irrelevant historical data.
One of the other less obvious traps however that's all too frequently responsible for tripping up new innovation programs is the fact that many of the new ventures are commanded by their investors and parent companies to share as many core resources as possible such as back office IT to save money and develop standardisation. Experience continues to remind us though that it's important to nurture the unique DNA of these new ventures and you can help them achieve this by ensuring they remain as independent as possible which includes hiring as much as 70% of the staff from outside of the parent company, citing new offices in the right cultural area away from the core businesses head office and finding out what IT solutions work best for them.
In order to achieve something different – something that's potentially the future of your business, it's vital that your new venture is nurtured and allowed to work on its own terms and executives must do all they can to prevent corporate anti bodies from killing it. Anything that ventures outside of the parent company's comfort zone will automatically create a higher level of risk that will demand a more agile, reactive approach to manage and a strong visionary, independent leader who accepts that there are going to be many more wrong answers than right ones can make all the difference.
If your organisation is serious about innovation then you have to think long and hard about the type of innovation environment you're creating and it should be more than just trying to set up an ivory tower outpost for research and development. Built out correctly and given the freedom they need these new ventures can be the future of your business but interfered with they can also be expensive failures.

Perfect – Ed Sheeran ft. Beyonce
I haven't been the biggest fan of Ed Sheeran's music (with the exception of "I See Fire" from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which I love) but the new duet with Beyonce is literally PERFECT. It's so sweet and lovely and the lyrics totally hit the mark, and this is coming from someone who is a massive cynic with the romantic capacity of a gnat.
You are the Reason – Calum Scott
There are a lot of "love" songs on this list, as I've been tweaking the romance subplot in my recent manuscript, and this song is a nice, slow ballad that discusses how one person can profoundly affect another.
Blood and Bones – Kodaline
My new favorite song from Kodaline is Blood and Bones, with it's evocative sound and meaningful lyrics. I just really like the sound, and Without You is another good one, though my play count for this is slightly higher.
Tell Me You Love Me – Boy Epic
I had this song on repeat for like, three days a couple of weeks ago. It's got a really great arrangement/sound (I love the piano in the beginning) and has been helping me through some writing block/inspirational woes lately. The words evoke a lot of different emotion, and the melody builds in strength as it goes, so as soon as the song is over, I'm already eager to listen to it again.
Beautifully Unfinished – Ella Henderson
This song is absolutely gorgeous and Henderson has a beautiful voice that really tugs at the heartstrings in this one. This song explores ideas of unrequited and unresolved feelings and how it feels to hate and love a person simultaneously. You know, warm and fuzzies. But seriously, this song is so lovely, and well worth a listen.
Stars – Skillet
I also have Lions and Invincible on my current playlist, but Stars is my favorite. It's got a really nice sound and the lyrics are particularly strong. I especially love the bridge, and although the song has religious undertones (at least, I'm pretty sure it does) it also features a universal message of finding your way or finding purpose after feeling lost.
If you're in need of a new read, or need something to spend your holiday money on, check out my YA novel, I'm With You! The ebook is only $1.99 or (£1.55) and paperback is $9.99 (£7.99) on Amazon / Amazon UK. Paperback is also $9.99 on BN.com.

Q: justification of simple idea involving union How would you justify going from
$x\notin$ $A\cup B\ $
$x\notin A$ and $x\notin B$
in a proof, where the same values of x satisfy both statements.
would by definition of U be sufficient or would you have to explain it more?

A: I guess it depends on the context. If you want to prove it using formal logic, you need more. But in elementary set theory, you wouldn't need further justification, unless the exercise is to prove that.
Maybe you could write something like this: $A \cup B$ is, by definition, $\{ x : x\in A \lor x\in B\}$. Let $x \not\in A\cup B$ and suppose that $x \in A$. Then $x \in A \cup B$, which is absurd, so $x \in A$. Anagously, $x\not\in B$.

NPPA Sends Letter Opposing Proposed Anti-Paparazzi Statutes in California
April 23rd, 2013 by and tagged Access, Anti-Paparazzi Statute, Assembly Member Richard Bloom, California, Constitution, first amendment, free speech, journalism, legislation, Mickey Osterreicher, national press photographers association, NPPA, Paparazzi, photographer, photographers, photography, photojournalism, recording, trespassing, video
*** UPDATE *** In the wake of opposition from NPPA and other groups the CA Assembly Judiciary Committee made both AB-1256 and AB-1356 "2 year bills." A 2 year bill is one which will not move out of the policy committee this year. It is eligible to be taken up again at the beginning of the 2nd year of the biennial session thus the term "2 year bill." In January, the Legislature will hear all bills introduced in the 1st year and those that pass muster will begin to move through the process. This is very significant because every other anti-paparazzi bill that has been introduced has flown through the Legislature. This is the first time one has been held up. While the AB-1256 and AB-1356 are not dead, this indicates the sponsors may have a difficult time getting out of Judiciary in January.
The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) today sent a letter to California Assembly Member Richard Bloom opposing two recently filed anti-paparazzi statutes that he sponsored. The NPPA was joined by twenty-six other organizations in sending this letter, including the Associated Press Media Editors, Digital Media Law Project at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Bloomberg News, North Jersey Media Group Inc., The New Yorker, E.W. Scripps Company, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Society of Professional Journalists, Radio Television Digital News Association, The Associated Press, National Public Radio, Inc., The McClatchy Company, Reuters News, Time Inc., The Washington Post, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Picture Archive Council of America, Cox Media Group, American Society of News Editors, California Newspapers Partnership, The First Amendment Coalition, Courthouse News Service, The Newspaper Guild, Communications Workers of America, Association of Alternative Newsmedia and San Francisco Bay Media Associates.
The letter is written in opposition to proposed bill AB-1256, "An act to amend Section 1708.8 of, and to add Section 1708.9 to, the Civil Code, relating to civil law." Proposed bill AB-1256 would expand upon California's constructive invasion of privacy law. The letter also expresses opposition to AB-1356, "An act to amend Section 1708.7 of the Civil Code, relating to stalking," which would enhance California's anti-paparazzi statutes.
"We believe the creation of a civil cause of action for the "constructive invasion of privacy" is overly broad and vague and imposes greater civil penalties upon otherwise protected forms of speech and expression," wrote Mickey Osterreicher, general counsel for NPPA. Osterreicher continued, "We are also concerned that remedies for invasion of privacy and trespass are already properly addressed by current California statutes and that statutory and punitive damages will further chill free speech and create uncertainty about liability." "Additionally," stated Osterreicher, "the definition of "commercial purposes" fails to distinguish those acts done for valid newsgathering purposes and in fact penalizes publishers and broadcasters along with visual journalists and members of the public with a camera."
In the letter Osterreicher cites recent Supreme Court cases which support NPPA's position that AB-1256 and AB-1356 are unconstitutional, including U.S. v. Stevens, 559 U.S. ___, 130 S. Ct. 1577 (2010) (holding the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act of 2010 unconstitutional); California v. Superior Court of California (Raef), Case No. BS140861 (holding California statute AB-2479, an anti-paparazzi statute, unconstitutional); and Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. 665 (1972) (holding that "without some protection for seeking out the news, freedom of the press could be eviscerated").
In another related matter a California assembly member withdrew his proposed "ag-gag" bill hours before it was to be considered at a scheduled hearing.
The measure, AB-343, sponsored by Jim Patterson, R-Fresno, originally imposed a "duty to report animal cruelty" that would have required "any person who willfully or knowingly photographs, records or videotapes animal cruelty . . ." to "submit all original photographs, recordings or video to local law enforcement and the owner of the animal(s) or a representative of the owner within forty eight hours of taking such photographs, recordings or video."
NPPA and other groups opposed the bill as violating the Shield Law provisions of the California Constitution and Code of Evidence; as well as being unconstitutional under the First, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments in that it abridged free speech and press and constituted an unreasonable seizure lacking in due process.
"The NPPA is very proud to have the support of so many state and national organizations in its fight against these ongoing First Amendment erosions," said NPPA President Mike Borland. "We hope that lawmakers around the country will realize that there is a better way to address their constituent's concerns than to propose unconstitutional bills," he added.

"It will be the best way to remember those we love" – Sunflowers being planted to remember those who have died from Covid-19
By Emmie Norton on 25th February 2021 in Environment, News
A memorial of sunflowers is set to be planted this March around Salford to remember those who have died due to Covid-19.
Miranda Clarke, 47, the woman behind the idea, was inspired to plant the flowers after hearing that more than 100,000 lives had been lost due to the virus.
Miranda's sunflower she planted last year.
Mrs Clarke, who lives in Ordsall, said: "I wanted to do something that would help me, and others remember all the individual lives that were lost because 100,000 is so much more than just a number.
"The sunflowers will help remind us of our loved once who are sadly no longer with us, but they will also bring hope and encourage us to stay positive in these troubling times."
Since posting the idea on Facebook, the response has been triumphant, with many people expressing their eagerness to get involved.
Pat Wolthersone, secretary for the Salford Allotment Federation, said: "I think it's a great idea, there are so many different varieties of sunflowers, so you can make each individual flower stand for that specific person you are wanting to remember.
"Most of us plant sunflowers, but we simply think of them as a plant, but now they will mean so much more to everybody."
Allotment sites all around Salford have already been informed of the idea to plant the flowers, but Miranda wants to encourage every household to get involved.
Miranda said: "I want as many people as we can to get involved, imagine walking down a street and just seeing sunflowers everywhere, and knowing they have such a beautiful meaning behind them, it will be the best way to remember those we love."
March is the best time to start planting your flowers and you can purchase seeds from most of your local shops.
You can share your sunflower's progress by tweeting us using the hashtag #SalfordSunflowers.

This article is from Pokerfornia, the leading source of California poker casinos review.
US opportunities for playing real money online poker are numerous. By real money poker, we mean as opposed to "play money". Every respectable casino allows its players to play just for fun with "play money" chips. Once players become comfortable and think they have an edge over their opponents, they can deposit real money and try to get a return on their investment.
The market for US real money online poker has been volatile to say the least. This is best showcased by the Party Poker effect. Party was one of the biggest online poker rooms in the USA but had to remove itself from the market because of the U I E G A. Note that this only happened because Party was a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange. All of the the other poker sites survived and prospered.
Don't be fooled into thinking that there are no more US real money poker sites . Right now there are two powerhouses: Full Tilt Poker and Pokerstars and a multitude of smaller rooms. These two sites recruit thousands upon thousands of US poker players every day.
It is true that depositing real money is slightly more involved than it used to be …but it is brain dead easy in most cases. You can get an all access visa gift card from any grocery store in the USA and deposit instantly. Although some players think that it is too hard to deposit and stick to the play money games, they are missing out. If they only spent 5 minutes looking at the deposit options of the poker rooms, they would find at least 3 or 4 ways to deposit real money and play poker . The deposits are usually instant.
The trend we are seing however is less players depositing because of this. This causes the average player to be slightly better than in the past so you need to adapt. Although the ratio of fish to good players is lower than it used to be, don't be fooled into thinking that real money poker games online are no longer beatable.
In fact there are *hundreds* of players making thousands of dollars per hour as their hourly win rate. These players are more dedicated than their peers, join training sites, post hands in forums, etc..
The bottom line is that US real money poker sites are here to stay for the time being. They present a lucrative opportunity for the most dedicated and persevering.
Will you be the next Phil Ivey ? We sure hope so ! And we will be the site that refered you ! So please read our online poker site review and deposit real money now.

Some other rooms that had issues were Paradise and Pacific, they were publicly traded companies as well, I believe.

On several systems this works perfectly right. But on some machines this query returns 0x80041001 - "Generic WMI Error". When I execute this query manually with wbemtest.exe, I get the same error and the following 'Description':

Failed to send echo, IcmpSendEcho2 failed.

What can be the reason of this error, and how could it be fixed?


Jesters, holy fools, madmen and simply fools – permanent characters of a huge number of works – both folklore and copyright. Why is the fool in art so attractive – only because its image seems ridiculous, and acts as ridiculous? And is he really stupid?

Marriott to open AC Hotel in Queretaro
According to Nasdaq.com Marriott International, Inc. recently announced the opening of AC Hotel Queretaro Antea Mexico and AC Hotel Guadalajara. While AC Hotel Guadalajara comprises 188 rooms, AC hotel Queretaro Antea consists of 175 rooms. These two new properties belong to the latest class of lifestyle hotels in the country that have been built keeping in mind the millennial traveler.
The hotels are owned and were developed by Fibra Hotel and are operated by Marriot International. These hotels reflect the beauty of classic modern designs and combine European and local influences. Following the brand's success in Europe, a joint venture was formed with Marriott international in 2011, which launched AC hotels by Marriott globally in France, Denmark, the United States and then Mexico.
The latest openings are the first for the Caribbean and Latin America region. By the end of 2016, the brand plans to open hotels in Mexico City, Panama City, Santiago in Chile and two hotels in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, ahead of the summer Olympic Games.
The consistent economic growth in emerging markets like Mexico and the growing affluent middle class are driving both business and leisure travel. Additionally, such emerging markets bring in more international tourists, thus raising brand awareness locally as well as internationally, as well as meeting the demand for leisure travel.
Marriott currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Yode's upset pick: Well, I went with Volcano in Week 1 against Manzano and came up short 35-34. The Matadors underwhelmed against Cibola, and while I expect Sandia to be sharper, the Hawks have had two weeks to prepare. C'mon, VV, do a guy a favor. Volcano Vista 28, Sandia 24.
