Since 1988, Peachy Canyon has been producing distinct wines from Paso Robles. As with many wineries that have been in Paso that long, Zinfandel stands at the core of what they do. Over the years, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rhone varieties, and in a couple of cases, fine Pinot Noir have popped up and made a stand in Paso. However, Zinfandel remains the grape that many people think of and drink when they pop the cork on a bottle of Paso wine for the very first time.
That's a good thing, too, because Paso Robles has a ton of producers growing and bottling distinct examples of Zinfandel. Some are single vineyard efforts, others Paso wide cuvees, and still more focus on a sub appellation. Peachy Canyon has their fair share of Zinfandels in a wide portfolio. Here's a look at some current Zinfandel releases, as well as a couple of other fine wines from Peachy Canyon.
This is mostly Zinfandel (98%) with a splash of Petite Sirah (2%) blended in. If you're looking for that everyday house red that provides lots of hedonistic drinking pleasure for a reasonable price, here's a more than solid option. Black fruit aromas and Mexican vanilla bean are evident on the nose. The palate is full flavored, juicy and loaded with red and black fruit flavors. Boysenberry, bits of brown sugar and more are evident on the above average and somewhat lusty finish.
This blend is comprised of Syrah (60%), Petite Sirah (28%), Zinfandel (5%), Merlot (3%), Malbec (2%) and Tannat (2%). Violet and plum aromas lead the nose. The palate is filled with bits of savory herb, dried cherry, raspberry and more. A touch of bacon fat leads the finish along with bits of toast and continued fruit flavors. This seamless blend will satisfy a crowd with varied tastes. The under-$20 price point makes it a no-brainer purchase.
The seeds of Oso Libre were planted in 1996 when Chris and Linda Behr purchased 90 acres of property. Over the next 11 years, they took what had been undeveloped land and turned it into a vineyard and cattle ranch. On their property, they utilize sustainable farming methods and also embrace renewable energies. Paso Robles has several distinct growing regions. Oso Libre sits in the Adelaida District, which is way out west in Paso, just 10 miles from the Pacific. Their property sits at an elevation of approximately 1,300 feet. I recently tasted through a selection of the family-owned winery's offerings and found a lot to like. Everything I tasted was undoubtedly Paso – delicious, loaded with solid fruit, obvious curb appeal and reasonably priced for the quality in the bottle. Here's a look at four wines to reach for at your next dinner.
All of the fruit came from the La Vista Vineyard in the Adelaida section of Paso Robles. It was aged over 20 months in a combination of new Hungarian (30%) and neutral French (70%) oak. 860 cases were produced. The beautifully engaging nose is loaded with red jam fruit and wisps of vanilla bean. Oodles of fresh, vibrant red fruit and spice flavors dominate the juicy palate. Pepper, hints of cinnamon and continued red fruit flavors are evident on the above average finish. This fruit-driven Zin retains excellent balance and will pair well with a wider array of foods than most Zinfandels.
In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon (90%), some Merlot (10%) was also blended in. All of the fruit came from the Abernathy Vineyard in Adelaida. It was aged over 14 months in new Hungarian (30%) and neutral French (30%) oak. 360 cases were produced. Paso is best known for Zinfandel and Rhone varieties. However, there is an increasing number of well-heeled Cabernet's emerging, and this is one of them. Juicy black and red fruit aromas leap from the nose here along with bits of savory herbs. Raspberry and cherry flavors are evident on the palate, which has good depth. Bits of earth, spice and more appear on the solid finish. This Cabernet has racy acid and approachable tannins. Drink it over the next five years. Pair it with red meat for best results.
There are certain producers whose name must be included when discussing Napa Valley's rise to prominence in the wine world. Grgich Hill Cellars is on the shortlist. Back in the '70s, founder Mike Grgich was the winemaker at Chateau Montelana. It was Mike who produced the 1973 Chardonnay that ultimately won the Paris Tasting in 1976. Up against many French wines, Chateau Montelena won that day. But really it was Napa Valley as a whole that was the beneficiary, and Mike's wine was what captured the prize. A year later, Grgich Hills Estate was born.
40 years after that tasting in Paris, Mike Grgich's name is one of the few that must be mentioned in the same breath as Robert Mondavi when discussing the most important people in Napa Valley history. Grgich Hills has continued to make world class wines that speak strongly of their Napa Valley origins. Here's a look at three of their current releases. These are wines that are available around the country and offer a peek into why Napa Valley is one of the greatest wine-growing regions in the world – not to mention why Mike Grgich is one of the most legendary figures to make wine there.
The fruit for this wine came from Estate Vineyards in American Canyon and Carneros. It's composed entirely of Chardonnay. It was fermented and aged in French oak over a period of 10 months in a combination of new (40%) and neutral (60%) oak. 30,300 cases were produced. From the first whiff to the last sip, what stands out most about this Chardonnay is the pure expression of fruit. The oak regimen provides accents but never detracts from that. Aromas of white peach and apple light up the nose. Bartlett pear, subtle nutmeg and golden delicious apple flavors are all present on the palate. Continuing spices and a host of minerals drive the impressive, crisp and refreshing finish. Mike Grgich has been making world class Napa Valley Chardonnay for over 40 years, and this is the latest example.
If you scan the shelves of your local wine shop, it becomes obvious pretty quickly that you can spend virtually any amount of money on a bottle of wine. That could be just a few dollars or literally thousands. Of course, most of us aren't going to spend anywhere near the upper end, and the bottom end is, shall we say, hit and miss. That leaves a very wide middle ground to consider.
Within that I have often found the $15 to $20 range to be of interest for a number of reasons. On the one hand, while no dollar figure guarantees you're going to like a wine, spending more than $15 increases the odds that it's a well-made selection. And for a lot of wine drinkers, $20 is a bit of a glass ceiling for everyday drinking. So here are four red wines that perfectly fit into that price window. Two of them are from California's Paso Robles, and the others are from Chile's Viña Ventisquero. Both of those areas also represent places one can still find a lot of outstanding values for everyday drinking, which is precisely what these wines represent to me.
Suite Petite is composed of Petite Sirah (87 percent) and Syrah (13 percent). I'll tell you a secret about my wine tastes: I love Petite Sirah. The truth is, when I'm out tasting, I will never turn down a Petite Sirah, no matter what. So with that in mind, I'm always interested in drinking them and seeing what they're like. This example from Chronic Cellars does a really nice job for $15. The dark nose is full of violet and plum aromas, along with bits of leather and sage. Black cherry, blackberry and an avalanche of dark fruits mark the juicy palate. Plum pudding spices, black pepper and a touch of chocolate sauce are evident on the finish. Nice tannins and sufficient acid provide solid structure. If you like your wine dark and somewhat brooding, here you go.
This offering is a blend of Zinfandel (70 percent), Syrah (14 percent), Petite Sirah (11 percent) and Grenache (5 percent). This Zinfandel-dominated wine has a healthy dollop of Petite Sirah blended in, which I'm quite fond of. Not just because I love Petite Sirah, though – Zinfandel and Petite Sirah are great partners. If they were in a band together, Zin would provide the screaming lead guitar and Petite Sirah would hold down the bottom end with some deep bass notes. Red raspberry aromas lead the nose. Blueberry, plum and more raspberry are evident on the somewhat jam-laden palate. Toast, white pepper and strawberry notes are all evident on the clean finish. Whether your Tuesday night dinner consists of pizza, burgers or a tamale pie casserole, this wine is going to carry the day for a song.

Julie Hesketh-Laird, chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation PIC: SSPO
New Scottish salmon chief: Let's work together to improve farms and environment
Owen Evans
The newly appointed chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation has issued a rallying call to academics, the government and the aquaculture industry to join forces and improve Scotland's fish farms.
The chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation addresses the industries concerns.
Julie Hesketh-Laird told The Times that the industry was listening to criticism over the environmental impact of fish farms – but needed a unified front to combat challenges.
"We won't solve all of the problems we have and the challenges that face us on our own. We need help and support from governments and the academic community, and we will work in partnership with those who are well placed to support the sector," she said.
"The debate is very polarised and I would like it not to be," she added.
Salmon farming is one of Scotland's economic success stories. It is the biggest food export, estimated at £766M (farmgate value), and supports around 8000 jobs.
But it has faced continuing problems and mounting criticism over parasitic sea lice which is jumping species onto wild salmon.
Last March, Holyrood's parliament's Environmental Committee report into the environmental impact of salmon farming concluded that there has been little progress in tackling environmental problems since 2002.
Furthermore, it said the industry – which is planning a huge expansion over the next decade – must identify and explore opportunities that safeguard the environment amid rapid development.
The Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation insists it is committed to long-term sustainability.
Hesketh-Laird said salmon farming was a vital part of the economy, both in terms of the opportunities it provided in remote areas of Scotland and the value of exports.
She said: "The industry is listening and it is learning quickly about how it can get on top of the issues it is facing, and it is facing them head-on. We're investing hugely in research into fish health science to ensure it fully understands the challenges it has and solves them."
"We are a new industry — on the whole change is difficult for people to get on board with, but I find when I go out to farming communities, the support on the ground for a new farm going into a coastal location is enormous. The further away from our salmon farms you get, the understanding will drop away and it is the role of the industry to explain the benefits of salmon farming — the skills, the jobs, the opportunities and the revenue."
She said the industry had invested £50m in new innovations and around £10m per year was being spent on research, adding: "This is an industry understanding the issues that consumers and environmentalists see as important and it wants to work in partnership with them."
They want to improve corporate governance – by blocking board access for the largest owner

Her Story (Sam Barlow) is a difficult thing to classify, because it's premised on a clever hop across medium boundaries. We're used to talking about interactive fiction as a near-synonym of interactive literature; and we've had, so far, over three decades of interactive literature in various forms. But Her Story is an interactive film, maybe the first thing of its kind, using cinema to the same ends that parser fiction uses prose.
It is designed as the experience of sitting down at a mothballed computer in a police station in Portsmouth, paging through a searchable database of police interviews concerning a murder that took place just over 21 years ago, in 1994. The constraints on the database are somewhat contrived – though realism isn't really the point here – but calculated exactly to work as a game mechanic: You only have access to the interviewee's answers, divided into individual clips that are often no more than a few seconds long. You can search for words found verbatim in the transcript of her interview, so that searching for a character's name will only turn up those clips where they are mentioned by name. The database is limited to producing the five first results of your query, chronologically.
Beyond some embellishments, this is the extent of the gameplay of Her Story. The live-action clips contain all but the entirety of the story, and the player has almost total control over what order to view them in. Live-action video has a long, and not so illustrious, history in games. But Her Story uses video not as a sort of fetish or gimmick, or as an idiosyncratic form of cutscene. It uses video as the native language of its storytelling.
Editing is the grammar of film, and Her Story puts editing in the hands of the player, very explicitly. As a player aid, it even supplies an empty roll that the player can fill with clips they find interesting or relevant, which will eventually assemble into nonlinear a narrative of not just the game's story, but the player's route to finding it. And this process of editing the raw footage, which is collected from glimpses opened up by coming up with new words to search for, constructs a unique lens through which each individual player reads the underlying story. A lot of interactive stories give players control over plot or story events, but Her Story allows manipulation of the primitive unit of discourse: sequencing individual shots. Unlike in a conventional interactive text, in Her Story, the player is actively constructing meaning, piecing together a context where the clips can exist as a coherent narrative. This construction of context allows individual clips to be read very differently, depending on what the player knows when they arrive at them, and which clips have been seen before.
In a way, it turns the entire debate surrounding choice in video game stories on its head. Her Story's search box is a sort of statement of radical, quasi-authorial player freedom: You're sitting at the editing room of your own true crime documentary. At the same time, the very nature of the story being told is that it's static, unchanging. The events of the story have already taken place; all that control is only over how the story is framed and constructed by the player. The game's own story touches on the idea of choice existing in how we represent and narrate what happens, and not only in changing what happens.
It's impossible not to go back to Sam Barlow's own Aisle, a short 1999 piece that became one of the classics of parser interactive fiction. Both Aisle and Her Story are built around a text box where the player can type almost anything within a certain context. But where Aisle treats that text box as an inflection point around which varying pasts and futures can be assembled, Her Story treats the text box as a window, a way of peering into different cuts of the narrative. In that way, it's more like a puzzle, though much of that puzzle takes place inside the player's head.
Her Story is not, however, about meticulously writing down the times and places of events to piece together a chronology of the crime. The murder mystery underpinnings start to unravel almost immediately, into an altogether different Gothic fairy tale about identity and narrative. While I was definitely on board with the game's apparent genre (I have some extensive notes about who was where, when, doing what), I didn't feel cheated by the shift in tone and focus. Her Story detaches elegantly from reality to discourse on story, on our own reading of stories, and in particular on stories involving actors.
I was worried about the somewhat mannered line readings that Viva Seifert had on the clips chosen for the game's trailer, but as it turns out her performance fits the format and the story quite well. Part of Her Story is the experience of staring into blown out, grainy VHS footage and trying to discern motives, identities, or truth out of that performance, and the heightened way in which Viva plays her character helps to sell, not undermine, that sort of playfulness. It's a performance designed to be dissected by the viewer, one that very much goes out of its way to show the cracks in the skin where the player might want to start peeling.
Consistently, the game resists the temptation to make a mechanic out of this sort of facial reading – no "press A to doubt" here, no quiz at the end asking the player to prove their understanding. Instead it relies on the allure of the images themselves, and on the pleasure of reassembling them, looking for revealing cross-sections of the footage. There is no real requirement that the player understand the story, no unlocking of content, no puzzle beyond the overarching puzzle of trying to understand the events of the game's narrative.
Her Story is, in many ways, about the assembling of narrative from the blunt happenstance of life, which dovetails nicely both with its structure as a narrative-assembling game and its police procedural conceit. It puts the player several steps removed from the events of the narrative, in a position of enormous editorial control.
That it all manages to function as an engaging narrative consistently, in spite of the radically different paths that players can take, is an almost incomprehensible achievement. It's not, after all, simple hypertext; players can guess arbitrary words, and trying out likely candidates for words related to the subject matter is a very valid strategy. Its success rests on the fact that the story is not about a singular twist, or about a resolution to the mystery; the very structure of the story resists a simple whodunit. Instead, it's a small goldmine of ideas, story moments, and plot. Some nuggets are bigger than others, and the player can stop when they've dug up enough.
Overall, Her Story comes out as a very successful experiment. It feels very much like a sui generis thing, like a brilliant device that could launch a whole genre if it wasn't so exhaustively complex to design a story that way. It stands out as one of my favourite games of the year so far, if not the favourite. And while I'm loathe to brand any work as "important" so soon after its release, anyone who pays attention to narrative in games can't really afford not to play it if they can.
Her Story is available on PC, Mac, and iOS devices. It can be purchased on Steam, the iOS App Store, or directly from the developer.

Anti-torpedo bulge

The anti-torpedo bulge (also known as an anti-torpedo blister) is a form of passive defence against naval torpedoes that featured in warship construction in the period between the First and Second World Wars.
1 Theory and form
2 Obsolescence
Theory and form
Essentially, the bulge is a lateral compartment at the waterline level that is isolated from the ship's internal volume. It is part air-filled, and part free-flooding. In theory, a torpedo strike will rupture and flood the outer air-filled component of the bulge and the inner water-filled part will dissipate the shock and absorb explosive fragments, leaving the ship's main hull structurally intact. Transverse bulkheads within the bulge limit flooding throughout the entirety of the structure.

The bulge was developed by the British Director of Naval Construction, Eustace Tennyson-D'Eyncourt, who had four old Edgar-class protected cruisers so fitted in 1914. These ships were used for shore bombardment duties, and so were exposed to inshore submarine and torpedo boat attack. Grafton was torpedoed in 1917, and apart from a few minor splinter holes, the damage was confined to the bulge and the ship safely made port. Edgar was hit in 1918, this time damage to the elderly hull was confined to dented plating. The Royal Navy had all new construction fitted with bulges from 1914, beginning with the Revenge-class battleships. Older ships also had bulges incorporated during refits. The Royal Navy had its large monitors fitted with enormous bulges. This was fortuitous for Terror, which survived three torpedoes striking the hull forward, and for her sister Erebus, which survived a direct hit from a remotely-controlled explosive motor boat that ripped off 50 feet (15.25 m) of her bulge.
Later designs of bulges incorporated various combinations of air and water filled compartments and packing of wood and sealed tubes. As bulges increased a ship's beam, they caused a reduction in speed, which is a function of the length-to-beam ratio[citation needed]. Therefore, various combinations of narrow and internal bulges appeared throughout the 1920s and into the 1930s. The bulge had disappeared from construction in the 1930s, being replaced by internal arrangements of compartments with a similar function.
Anti-torpedo bulges were still added as retrofits to older ships, such as HMS Renown and USS Arizona.
For greater effect, modern torpedoes are designed to explode beneath the hull of the target[citation needed] so they rarely strike the side of the ship directly.

CD8 Rabbit Recombinant mAb detects endogenous levels of total CD8.
CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR, CD8 binds to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, but is specific for the class I MHC protein. The CD8 co-receptor is predominantly expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells, but can also be found on natural killer cells, cortical thymocytes, and dendritic cells. It is expressed in T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma and hypo-pigmented mycosis fungoides. CD8 forms a dimer to function. The extracellular IgV-like domain of CD8-α interacts with the α3 portion of the Class I MHC molecule. This affinity keeps the T cell receptor of the cytotoxic T cell and the target cell bound closely together during antigen-specific activation. Cytotoxic T cells with CD8 surface protein are called CD8+ T cells. CD8+ T-cells are a critical component of the cellular immune response and they play an important role in the control of viral infection. During HIV infection, CD8+ T-cells are able to recognize infected cells through an MHC-I dependent process and are able to lyse cells harboring viral infection by the secretion of perforin and granzymes.

Inside stories behind area real estate deals
To celebrate the warmer weather, we've brought you six exquisite listings that are sure to spring to life this season.
by Diane di Costanzo
Here's a story worthy of a feature film—about reclusive heiress Huguette Clark, who died in 2011 at the age of 104, leaving behind a hotly contested $300- million estate. Clark, the daughter of a U.S. senator and copper-mining baron, chose to spend most of her last few decades as a resident of Manhattan hospitals, even when she was in good health, and even though she owned this 52-acre New Canaan chateau, which—by all accounts—she paid to maintain but never really lived in. Clark also owned a 42-room Fifth Avenue apartment, where she resided before hospitalizing herself "amid a profusion of dollhouses and their occupants," according to The New York Times. Called Le Beau Chateau, the circa-1937 New Canaan estate is listed for $15,900,000 with Barbara Cleary Real Estate Guild.
It's spring! Well, not according to the calendar. But in realty life—which is not the same thing as real life—spring begins in February, when the season's first for-sale signs crop up in the snowdrifts. We're celebrating by bringing you six lovely listings, from a reclaimed barn in Weston to a 52-acre estate owned by the estate of a late copper-mining heiress in New Canaan.
Darien Waterfront
Called Home by the Sea, this shingle-style estate won a Home Building Industry "Best Custom Home" Award when it was completed in 2008. The "sea" is actually a quiet cove along Long Island Sound, and the home was designed to take advantage of its water views, perhaps best enjoyed from the wraparound porches. The 12,000-square-foot interiors include a home theater, billiards room with a built-in bar, six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. The three-acre grounds also have a pretty pool and terrace, rolling lawns and a private dock. Eileen Hanford of Halstead Property in Darien has the listing. 203-656-6570.
New Canaan Colonial
This 14,400-square-foot estate offers too many amenities to list, so we'll just focus on our favorites, starting with the lower-level, Art Deco–style theater with lipstick-red seats and a separate lounge, lobby and concession stand—it's where we'd like to watch the Academy Awards later this month. The lower level also boasts an Art Deco bar and billiards room with a tin ceiling and four tapped kegs. While downstairs, check out the home gym and sauna, plus the 4,000-bottle wine cellar built with 13th-century stone. There's more fun outside around the vanishing-edge pool and in the pool house, which has a kitchen, full bathroom and laundry room. On the terraces, find an outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired pizza oven and built-in grill, along with a fire pit. We've yet to go upstairs—in the elevator, if you please—to tour the six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, including a master suite with a fireplace and his-and-hers bathrooms and closets. And of interest to all of us who suffered through Hurricane Sandy: There's a 100KW generator, powerful enough to run the whole house. Larry Palma and Becky Walsh, both of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty, share the listing. 203-912-0828 and 203-858-5909.
Beachside Avenue
This property was once called the Penney place and not because it ever sold for such a lowly sum. Rather, the grounds are part of the old J. C. Penney estate upon which this Mediterranean manse was built in 1982. Today, the four-acre spread is a gracious blend of old and new. From the past: its pride of place along Beachside Avenue, arguably Westport's best address, where celebrity residents include Harvey Weinstein and his designer wife Georgina Chapman and Don and Deirdre Imus, whose home is also for sale. The grounds feature a pond, a tennis court, a swimming pool and terrace and a boat house. A tour of the 10,637-square-foot home starts in the two-story foyer with double staircases leading to a dramatic second-floor landing with its own expansive terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. The second floor offers a private master suite with a fireplace and a "children's wing" with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the third floor are an additional two en-suite bedrooms. Michelle & Company, affiliated with William Raveis in Westport, has the listing. 203-454-4663.
Newly Constructed Colonial
The latest, greatest amenities have been built into this newly constructed Colonial, sited along the Saugatuck River within walking distance of downtown Westport. Designed by Beinfield Architecture, the 5,750-square-foot home offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms (plus two half bathrooms), including a master suite with a fireplace and views to the river. On the .65-acre lot: river access and a private dock. It's listed with Jillian Klaff and Leslie Smith Clarke of William Raveis in Westport. 203-858-2095 and 203-984-1856.
Weston Antique
"Unique" is a word that's tossed around a lot in real estate copy, but in this case it fits. The heart of the 3,200-square-foot home is a reclaimed barn from Pennsylvania that was attached in 2004 and now houses the cool, commercial-quality kitchen and a cozy family room with a stone hearth. The addition blends beautifully with the original circa-1830s home that was a "worker's cottage" for the tool company once located along the river. It offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with one half bathroom. On the nearly two-acre terraced property: private river frontage with a dock and separate, timber-framed barn with flexible space for work or play. Ryan Cornell of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty in Wilton has the listing. 203-247-0718.

SINGAPORE: Amid concerns about job security, a local peer-to-peer (P2P) start-up has launched an unemployment insurance product – a first in Singapore. But unlike conventional insurers, Bandboo focuses on creating "digital communities that allow users to cross-insure one another" against the risk of retrenchment, said co-founder and CEO Ashley Kee. "What makes us different from an insurance company is that we are not underwriting the risk." The start-up, founded by Mr Kee and his three partners, introduced its first two insurance products in May with the aim of disrupting the industry. One of them is a P2P unemployment insurance that helps workers "alleviate the shock of a sudden retrenchment". The other is a retrenchment benefits scheme targeted at businesses.


Budapest, January 26 (MTI) – The opposition parties LMP, Egyutt and PM on Monday congratulated Greece's Syriza party on its victory in the parliamentary elections.
LMP co-leaders Andras Schiffer and Bernadett Szel said the victory demonstrated that only parties critical of the system can successfully fight for real national sovereignty, "unlike governments entrapped in neo-liberal economic policies".
Egyutt board member Nora Hajdu said that an important message for Hungary could later emerge if lasting success is built on economic policies deriving from sustainable growth rather than populist rhetoric, which merely slams austerity.
PM said Syriza's success demonstrated that there is hope to escape from policies of insensitive austerity.
Radical nationalist Jobbik welcomed the victory of Euro-sceptic forces. Deputy group leader Marton Gyongyosi said that their "convincing" win should be "a warning sign to Europe's elite, degrading poorer members into colonies, as well as to the corrupt political forces serving them". The failure of Greek parties which "drove their country to an ever-deepening crisis through promoting neo-liberal economic policies" has shown that "the interests of financiers can no longer be placed before the interests of the people," he said.

Q: SQL omit columns with all same value Is there a way to write a SQL query to omit columns that have all of the same values? For example,
row    A    B
1      9    0
2      7    0
3      5    0
4      2    0

I'd like to return just
row    A
1      9
2      7
3      5
4      2

A: Although it is possible to use SQL to find if all rows in a column have identical values, there is no way to make a fixed SQL statement not return a column based on the content of the query.
Here is how to find out if all items in a column have identical values:
SELECT COUNT(row)=COUNT(DISTINCT B) FROM my_table

You can run a preliminary query to see if a column needs to be displayed, and then form the query dynamically, including the column only when you need it.

A: The only way to change what columns are returned is by executing separate queries.  So you'd have to do something like:
IF EXISTS(SELECT null FROM myTable WHERE B <> 0)
BEGIN
   SELECT row, A, B FROM myTable
END
ELSE
BEGIN
   SELECT row, A FROM myTable
END

However it's generally bad practice to return different columns based on the data - otherwise you make the client determine if a particular column is in the result set first before trying to access the data.
This sort of requirement is more commonly done when displaying the data, e.g. in a web page, in a report, etc.

A: There is no way to write a query statement that will only return columns that have disparate values. You can however use some conditonnal statements to execute different queries based on your needs.
You could also insert your query result into a temporary table, loop over the columns, build a new select statement that includes only the columns that have different values and finally execute the statement.
Note: You should probably just include bit columns to indicate wheter columns are all duplicates or not. The application could then just discard any column that has been indicated as all duplicates.
Anyway, here's an example solution for SQL SERVER
-- insert results into a temp table
SELECT *
INTO #data
FROM (
    SELECT 1 AS col1, 1 AS col2, 2 AS col3
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 2, 1, 3
) d;

DECLARE
    @column sysname,
    @sql nvarchar(max) = '',
    @finalSql nvarchar(500) = 'SELECT ',
    @allDuplicates bit;

DECLARE colsCur CURSOR
FOR
SELECT name
FROM tempdb.sys.columns
WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#data');

OPEN colsCur;

FETCH NEXT FROM colsCur INTO @column;

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
    SET @sql = N'SELECT @allDuplicates = CASE COUNT(DISTINCT ' + @column + ') WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END FROM #data';

    EXEC sp_executesql @sql, N'@allDuplicates int OUT', @allDuplicates = @allDuplicates OUT;

    IF @allDuplicates = 0 SET @finalSql = @finalSql + @column + ',';

    FETCH NEXT FROM colsCur INTO @column;
END

CLOSE colsCur;
DEALLOCATE colsCur;

SET @finalSql = LEFT(@finalSql, LEN(@finalSql) - 1) + ' FROM #data';

EXEC sp_executesql @finalSql;

DROP TABLE #data;

The script at www.statcounter  com/counter/counter. js was customized by the attackers to include an item of code in the middle of the script. Generally cyberpunks include code at the beginning or at the end of the manuscript. Adding code in the middle of a manuscript can stay clear of detection as a questionable code in the middle of the script is harder to identify.
The piece of code added by the hackers was set to discover any kind of LINK which contains myaccount/withdraw/BTC. This indicates that hackers were attempting to take Bitcoin from a platform which traded Bitcoin. After effective identification of the wanted LINK, the manuscript will certainly include a new manuscript aspect to the web page linked to the URL and fuse the code at https://www.statconuter  com/c. php.
The domain utilized by the cyberpunks is really comparable to the original domain. The cyberpunks have turned two letters from StatCounter, which makes it more challenging to find the harmful script. According to the report this domain has been suspended in 2010 on account of spam and also abuse.
The study found that the LINK, myaccount/withdraw/BTC, targeted by the code was active on only one page as well as the web page belonged to Gate.io, a crypto exchange. Consequently, the research study ends that Gate.io was the major target of the hack. Gate.io attributes over a million bitcoin transactions implying that the robbing Bitcoins from the exchange walking cane pay.
The website https://www.gate  io/myaccount/withdraw/ BTC is utilized to transfer bitcoin from a gate.io account to an exterior Bitcoin address. Throughout the 2nd step in the transaction procedure when the individual clicks the send switch for the withdrawal, the destructive manuscript will certainly change the destination Bitcoin address. The cyberpunks seem have actually raised the ante by changing the Bitcoin address with each purchase making it difficult to identify the variety of Bitcoins transferred to fake addresses.


And just like that today I am 27 years old. Usually I don't care for birthdays. Who wants to get older? I mean after you turn 21 you just lose track of birthdays. 25 isn't bad because you usually get a break on car insurance! 27 I don't mind. I like the number 27. I'm at pretty good point in my life and there is nothing that I feel like I need to accomplish before 27.
I really have nothing to say about this birthday which is very odd for me. I usually am negative or have some big speech about my birthday. Not this year. Just going with the flow.


When a project gets delayed, liquidated damages are imposed by the project owners at the end, and the project contractors blame it on concurrent delay. Project contractors argue that a part or all of the delay in completion of the project was because of the owner or an external force, concurrent with the contractor's delays, and therefore liquidated damages should be forgiven or excused. Generally, project owners impose liquidated damages at the completion of the project, thus, a project contractor does not submit his concurrent delay claims until the end of the project.
Properly assessing concurrent delay and comprehensively understanding today's concurrent delay doctrine in U.S. law can be one of the most difficult challenges while resolving delay claims.
The audio conference Concurrent Delay - The Owner's Newest Defense by James G. Zack, Jr., & Emily Federico explores mechanisms, based on recent court rulings that owners employ to defeat a contractor's "concurrent delay defense".

Mother of slain cop says execution of Troy Davis will give her peace

Mother of slain cop: 'It has been hell'
NEW: Davis' sister says he is innocent, while saying she's "emotionally prepared"
The slain officer's mother says she won't have closure, but wants "some peace"
Hundreds march in Atlanta in support of Davis, who was sentenced to death in 1991
Davis is scheduled to die Wednesday by lethal injection
Atlanta (CNN) -- As crowds marched through Atlanta in support of a death row inmate, the slain Savannah police officer's mother said Saturday she remains convinced of Troy Davis' guilt.
"I will never have closure," said Anneliese MacPhail. "But I may have some peace when he is executed."
Her son, Mark MacPhail, was gunned down in a 1989 shooting that Davis was convicted for. The former Army Ranger left behind his wife and two then-young children.
The case has drawn international attention for what Davis' advocates say is a conviction based on flimsy evidence.
They include his sister Kimberly Davis, who told CNN on Saturday that she is "emotionally prepared" for an execution but does not think it is warranted.
"My brother, he is innocent," she said. "(MacPhail's family) won't have closure if an innocent man is executed."
Since his 1991 conviction, seven of the nine witnesses against him have recanted or contradicted their testimony. No physical evidence was presented linking Davis to the killing.
Yet the slain officer's mother insists she "never had any doubts."
"I think these people are just against the death penalty," she said, adding later that they "have no idea what's going on. ... They don't know what happened."

In a 2008 statement, then-Chatham County District Attorney Spencer Lawton described how Davis was at a pool party in Savannah when he shot another man, Michael Cooper, in the face. Davis was then driven to a nearby convenience store, where he pistol-whipped a homeless man, Larry Young, who'd just bought a beer.
Soon thereafter, prosecutors said MacPhail -- who was working in uniform, off-duty, at a nearby bus station and restaurant -- arrived. It was then, the jury determined, that Davis shot the officer three times, including once in the face as he stood over him.
Davis' lawyers, in a petition to a U.S. District Court, insisted that there is "no physical evidence linking" Davis to MacPhail's murder. They point, too, to "the unremarkable conclusion" of a ballistic expert who testified that he could not find definitively that the bullets that wounded Cooper and killed MacPhail were the same.
Yet Georgia's attorney general, in an online statement, notes that the expert said the bullets came from the same gun type and noted that casings at the pool party shooting matched those -- and thus came from the same firearm -- as those found at MacPhail's murder scene.
After being presented this evidence, a jury in 1991 convicted Davis on two counts of aggravated assault and one each of possessing a firearm during a crime, obstructing a law enforcement officer and murder. The latter charge led, soon thereafter, to his death sentence.
Davis has been scheduled for execution three previous times, delays that the victim's mother said "boggles" her.
"I'm not out after blood, I'm after justice," Anneliese MacPhail said. "I want my son to rest in peace."
During an Atlanta rally and march on Friday, Davis' supporters -- insisting he was wrongly convicted in MacPhail's shooting -- said this time will be different.
They are hopeful that their appeals for clemency will be answered by the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles.
Hundreds of supporters marched through the downtown streets of the Georgia capital Friday chanting, "Free Troy Davis." Others carried signs that read, "Too Much Doubt."
However, unless something dramatic happens, Davis, 42, will die by lethal injection on Wednesday.
The Rev. Raphael Gamaliel Warnock, who is set to testify before Davis' parole board Monday, says he "can only begin to imagine the pain (the family) must be feeling."
MacPhail "was protecting the community, and there is no pain greater than when a parent loses a child," Warnock said.
Still, he says, "there is too much doubt in this case for an execution."
"I have met with (Davis) on death row," Warnock added. "I believe he is innocent."
Hope is just about all Davis has right now. The pardons and paroles board denied him clemency once before. The board has never changed its mind in any case in the past 33 years.
On Thursday, supporters delivered to the pardons and paroles board a 663,000-name petition asking for clemency.
MacPhail's family has steadfastly asserted that Davis was the killer, as has the man who prosecuted him.
"I'm just disappointed so many people have been led to believe nobody has paid attention to these recantations. It is simply not the case," Lawton, the former district attorney, once told CNN affiliate WTOC.
"On what grounds are the recantations more believable than the testimony in court? None," he said.
Reviewing Davis' claims of innocence last year, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia found that Davis "vastly overstates the value of his evidence of innocence."
"Some of the evidence is not credible and would be disregarded by a reasonable juror," Judge William T. Moore wrote in a 172-page opinion. "Other evidence that Mr. Davis brought forward is too general to provide anything more than smoke and mirrors," the court found.

Frederick, 26, has only given up four sacks in his career, according to STATS Inc. He gave up 3.5 as a rookie in 2013 and a half sack in 2014.
Frederick has also avoided penalties much of his career, being flagged only 15 times. He has four penalties this season.
"He's a really good football player and for so many different reasons," coach Jason Garrett said. "He's a talented guy obviously. He knows how to play the game. He, too, is a great leader. He leads that offensive line. He's a great communicator and he just does his job really well.

Boris Yeltsin was educated as a civil engineer. He joined the Communist Party and rapidly became the party leader in his home region, Sverdlovsk. In 1985 Gorbachev appointed him to the Politburo, and he became party chief for Moscow.
Yeltsin criticized Gorbachev for the slow pace of reform and, in 1988, Gorbachev dismissed him from the political leadership.
A year later, Yeltsin was elected to the new Russian Congress, and in 1990, he became President of the Russian Federation. Yeltsin presided over the period of rapid change as the Russia replaced the Soviet Union and it experimented with democracy. During Yeltsin term the lives of the average Russian became more difficult as the social network that Russians had relied on was dismantled. Yelstisn ended his term as Presidency in 1999.

Country Report: Criteria and restrictions to access reception conditions Last updated: 02/05/22
Nikola Kovačević
The CRM is mandated with providing material reception conditions to asylum seekers and persons granted asylum in Serbia.[1]
In the course of asylum procedure, asylum seekers are entitled to be accommodated in one of the 7 Asylum Centres or other designated facility established for that purpose.[2] These other facilities are 12 Reception Centres. However, it is important to note that AC in Banja Koviljača, as well as AC Vranje, RC Bujanovac, RC Pirot and RC Dimitrovgrad were not functional during 2021 (see Types of Accommodation).[3]
Persons issued with a registration certificate are expected to present themselves at the centre indicated via a central mechanism between the MoI and the CRM so as to be registered and lodge their asylum application. At the point of reception, the Commissariat shall confirm reception by indicating it in the registration certificate.[4]
Similarly as in 2020, in 2021 the vast majority of foreigners accommodated in Asylum Centres and Reception Centres did not have any legal status. The reason for this is that the most of them are not genuinely interested in staying in Serbia and to apply for asylum and thus did not lodge asylum application. However, genuine asylum seekers are very often accommodated in Reception Centres where they have to wait for up to several weeks before they are transferred to one of the Asylum Centres where they would be allowed to lodge an asylum application (see Registration).
In the vast majority of reception centres there were persons who are not issued with the registration certificates, nor do they enjoy any other status in line with the Foreigners Act or other legislation. Thus, their stay is tolerated by the CRM. For instance, many people who are staying in the Western camps (Adaševci, Šid and Principovci) or Northern camps (Subotica, Sombor or Kikinda) are not registered, or their certificates have expired, but they are attempting to cross the border with Croatia, Hungary or Romania on a daily basis. Their legal status is unregulated, and for that reason, they can be subject to different arbitrary practices such as denial of access to the reception centre during the night or denial of access to food or even medical care. Additionally, there is a significant number of persons who are residing in the informal settlements in Belgrade and border areas with Croatia, Hungary and Romania. Many of them are UASC.[5] They sleep in tents or abandoned facilities deprived of the existential minimum.
In principle, every foreigner has the possibility to be accommodated in one of the reception facilities. Those who have clear aspirations to attempt to irregularly cross to Croatia, Hungary and Romania are usually allowed to reside in the Reception Centres close to the border with said countries. UASC are all placed in Bogovađa Asylum Centre, but since October 2021, UASC were also referred to one of the barracks in AC Krnjača.
If the asylum seeker possesses his or her own financial assets, he or she may stay outside the reception facilities at his or her own cost, and exclusively with prior consent of the Asylum Office, which shall be given after the asylum application has been lodged. Exceptionally, consent may also be given beforehand, if that is required for reasons of security of a foreigner whose intention to seek asylum has been registered.[6] Thus, in practice, the asylum seeker usually has to wait to lodge an asylum application and then submit the request to stay at a private address which will be included in his or her ID card as a place of his or her residence. The living conditions in many Asylum and Reception centres are unsatisfactory. On 20 June 2021, 124 refugees and asylum seekers were residing in private accommodation, while 41 UASCs were accommodated in social care institutions designated for children.[7]

Its vision is to rejuvenate 10,000 hectares of land in the Upper Werribee Catchment, west of Melbourne, by transforming the landscape through the implementation of sustainable land management practices such as revegetation, farm forestry and remnant enhancement and protection works.
These projects will increase biodiversity, create biolinks to connect native vegetation, improve waterway health and provide long-term control in the fight against weeds, rabbits and erosion.
If you are a local landholder or a potential investor, we would love you to come aboard Grow West and be part of this exciting project to create a better, greener future for Melbourne's western landscapes. Feel free to contact us for more information.
Grow West is working to improve both the visible and working landscapes in the project area and bring the following environmental benefits:
Improved stability of land through the reduction in noxious weeds, rabbits, water contaminants, salinity, erosion and sedimentation
Increased habitat for native flora and fauna
Enhancement and protection of existing biodiversity
Increased linkages between areas of native vegetation
Improved condition of the waterways
Advice on best practice management
The Grow West Team has been running events, field days and training packages in conjunction with partners such as councils and Melbourne Water to help inform landowners of the beenfits of being involved in our programs.
The local community, including landowners, volunteers, community groups, councils and businesses, are all central to the success of Grow West and its programs.
Without question, the opportunity for landholders to work together, to share resources and experiences, to dovetail their treatment plans for animal and weed control and to get together to share their successes is important to the success of Grow West's goals.
Grow West runs field days and events throughout the year to facilitate these conversation. These events include involvement in the annual Grow West Community Planting Day, held in partnership with Victorian National Parks Association.
The social and community benefits that Grow West creates include:

Resource tax undermined by billions in credits
By online business reporter Michael Janda Updated Thu 9 May 2013, 10:41 AM AEST
The big four iron ore producers have about $6.4 billion in mining tax credits between them.
The Federal Government's mining tax raised only $126 million in its first six months and it is generous asset deductions, not falling commodity prices, that seem most to blame.
The $126 million the Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT) raised in its first six months was way off the Treasury forecast of $2 billion, which itself was downwardly revised from an earlier forecast of $3 billion.
When announcing the revenue figure in February, the Treasurer Wayne Swan blamed slumping commodity prices.
"The huge drop in commodity prices in the second half of last year had a dramatic impact on MRRT revenues," he told reporters.
Indeed, the benchmark Chinese spot iron ore price did slump from $US133.50 per tonne on the first trading day after the MRRT took effect to $US86.70 just two months later.
However, it was back up to $US144.90 by the last day of that six-month period, and spent only seven weeks below $US110 per tonne.
Most of the $126 million in revenue, according to the Tax Office, was raised in the second three-month period where prices were never below $US100 per tonne.
Those figures indicate falling commodity prices are only part of the story as to why the mining tax revenues missed forecasts so badly.
The other reason is revealed in the financial reports of the miners themselves.
Billions in tax credits
The mining tax allows companies to offset the value of their mines against the tax they have to pay, and the 2012 financial reports of BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto show that amounted to tax credits worth $644 million and more than $1.1 billion respectively.
They believe over the next few years they're not likely to pay any tax under that legislation.
Fat Prophets mining analyst David Lennox
Hancock Prospecting's freshly lodged 2012 financial report - submitted to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) six months late - shows it has an even bigger credit against the mining tax worth $1.16 billion.
Fat Prophets resources analyst David Lennox says those credits can be used to directly reduce miners' MRRT liabilities now and into the future, until they run out.
"Exactly as we saw with BHP, Rio and Fortescue, they [Hancock] actually booked a credit for the minerals resource rent tax for 2012 of $1.2 billion," he said.
"That means that they believe over the next few years they're not likely to pay any tax under that legislation."
However, Hancock does not have the biggest mining tax offset.
Fortescue Metals has repeatedly said it does not expect to pay any mining tax in the "foreseeable future", and a look at page 85 of its financial year 2012 annual report reveals why.
The company has estimated that it has an MRRT credit of almost $3.5 billion - a figure overlooked in coverage of Fortescue's results because it was buried so far down in the report, unlike BHP, Rio and Hancock, which included their mining tax credits in their profit and loss statements.
Audio 4:19 Big four miners unlikely to pay much tax
Fortescue's estimated tax asset brings the total mining tax credits of the big four iron-ore producers to almost $6.4 billion.
"Over future periods they're entitled to deductions because the values of their assets for tax purposes are deemed to be higher than the book value they use for their assets in their financial statements," observed Jeffrey Knapp, a University of New South Wales accounting lecturer.
What this means is that, regardless of commodity prices, these big mining companies have enough tax offsets stored to see them pay no, or little, federal mining tax for the next couple of years.
Once the tax credits run out, MRRT collections are likely to rise significantly, if the tax still exists in its current form in several years' time, and should iron ore prices remain historically high.
So far, from the publicly available profit reports, it is known that BHP Billiton paid $77 million in the first six months of the MRRT, and Rio Tinto and Fortescue paid nothing.
The amount of tax Hancock Prospecting paid will not be known until it submits its financial year 2013 accounts, due by October 31 this year.
Hancock's financial reports
However, Hancock's 2012 accounts were lodged with ASIC six months late, and its previous six financial reports were all lodged more than a year late, with the 2010 accounts well over two years late when lodged on Christmas Eve last year.
While, as a private company, Hancock is not obliged to file financial reports for the benefit of the market, s319 of the Corporations Act requires large companies to submit their annual report regardless of whether they are publicly-listed or not.
Hancock has not responded to questions from the ABC about why its reports were late, or whether it intends to file future reports on time.
They've paid $500 million of tax for the year to 30 June 2012. That's a strong contribution to the Australian economy.
UNSW accounting lecturer Jeffrey Knapp on Hancock Prospecting
The lack of MRRT payments does not mean the companies are not paying any taxes at all.
Jeffrey Knapp says Hancock Prospecting's accounts show its contribution to public finances.
"If you look in their financial statements you can see they've paid $500 million of tax for the year to 30 June 2012. That's a strong contribution to the Australian economy," he said.
That tax was out of a statutory profit of $3.27 billion for financial year 2012 - a figure boosted by the one-off recognition of the mining tax credit and a billion-dollar sale of Queensland coal assets.
Hancock's revenue ($2.31 billion) and its underlying profit excluding those one-offs (around $1 billion) were both down slightly on 2011.
David Lennox says they are likely to fall again this year.
"Certainly there's no doubt that we will see those revenue numbers perhaps falling again as a result of the lower [iron ore] pricing environment that we will see through [financial year] 2013," he forecast.
Mr Lennox says Hancock is still in good shape, despite the commodity price falls, but it may look at reining in costs that grew by almost a third to nearly $1 billion last year.
"They will be looking to cost cutting to certainly stimulate the bottom line and also probably some slowing down of capital expenditure in terms of projects that they were looking at that they will now delay to a point in the future," he added.
Media losses
Gina Rinehart's company also suffered a financial hit from the mining magnate's media ownership: in 2012 Hancock Prospecting booked a $222 million fall in the value of its "available for sale" financial assets, which are mostly shares that can be easily traded on the market.
Hancock looks likely to have more mixed fortunes on those investments this year.
The Fairfax shares held by Hancock fell to 55.5 cents by the June 30 record date in 2012 and, despite falling lower still during the current financial year, are now higher at 63.5 cents.
However, Mrs Rinehart's Ten Network shares will offset any Fairfax gains, falling from 50.5 cents on June 30 2012 to 30.5 cents currently.
At the current share prices, Hancock Prospecting holds about $78 million worth of Ten shares and $224 million worth of Fairfax stock.
