glands, one or two in number, lie on the medial side of the basilic vein, a short distance proximal to the medial epicondyle of the humerus. They receive lymph from both aspects and from the ulnar border of the forearm, and their efferents pass to the deep glands of the arm.
(2) Lymphoglandulæ Cubitales Profundæ.-Occasionally small glands are found in association with the arteries of the forearm, but in most cases the lymph from the deeper parts of the hand and forearm, below the region of the elbow, passes to the deep cubital glands or to the brachial or axillary glands.
FIG. 806.-DISSECTION OF AXILLA AND ANTERIOR PART OF THORACIC WALL, SHOWING LYMPH GLANDS
AND VESSELS. (Semi-diagrammatic.)
The deep cubital lymph glands lie anterior to the elbow in the neighbourhood of the terminal part of the brachial artery. They receive many of the deep lymph vessels of the forearm and their efferents pass to the brachial and axillary glands.
Brachial lymph glands, irregular in number and size, are found along the course. of the brachial artery. Their afferents are derived from the forearm, from the deep cubital and superficial cubital glands, from adjacent parts, and from the elbowjoint. Their efferents end in lateral group of axillary glands.
In addition to the glands which lie along the course of the brachial artery other deep glands are occasionally met with in the arm. (1) One in the sulcus
between the brachioradialis and the brachialis; (2) another in the radial sulcus. When they are present both of these glands receive lymph from the ligaments of the elbow-joint as well as from other adjacent soft parts.
Lymphoglandulæ Axillares1The axillary lymph glands lie in the region of the axilla, where they form several groups, some of which are practically constant, whilst others are very variable.
(a) The lateral or brachial group of axillary lymph glands, 1-7, lies in relation with the lateral boundary of the axillary space along the line of the great axillary vessels. The glands receive the lymph from the greater part of the upper extremity. Their efferents anastomose with the lymph vessels of the central glands; some terminate in the inferior deep cervical glands and others pass to the subclavian lymph trunk (Fig. 806).
(b) The posterior or subscapular lymph glands lie in relation with the posterior wall of the axilla, along the line of the subscapular vessels. Their afferents are the vessels of the lateral and posterior walls of the body, above the level of the umbilicus, and lymph vessels from the lower and posterior part of the neck. Their efferents join the lateral, the central, and the infraclavicular axillary glands (Fig. 806).
(c) The anterior or pectoral group of axillary lymph glands, 2-4, lies along the line of the lateral thoracic artery, in the angle between the lower border of the pectoralis major and the serratus anterior. The glands extend from the third to the sixth intercostal space, sometimes in a single and sometimes in a double row. Occasionally one or two outlying members of this group, called the paramammary glands, are found on the superficial surface of the pectoralis major. The afferents of the
1 The B.N.A. axillary lymph glands are the lateral glands of the axilla, but, as the other groups mentioned also lie in the axillary region, the general term " axillary" is used here to include all the groups.

anterior glands are derived from the anterior wall of the body above the umbilicus from the lateral two-thirds of the mamma. Their efferents pass to the central, lateral, and infra-clavicular axillary glands (Fig. 806).
(d) The central axillary lymph glands, 2-6, lie in the central part of the axilla, and frequently along the line of the intercosto-brachial nerve. They receive afferents from the anterior, the subscapular, and the lateral glands. Their efferents pass to the infra-clavicular glands (Fig. 806).
(e) The subpectoral group of axillary lymph glands, 3-14, is formed by several small glands which lie posterior to the pectoralis minor and anterior or medial to the axillary artery. They receive lymph from the glands situated at a lower level and from the lateral wall of the thorax. Their efferents pass to the infra-clavicular glands.
(f) The infra-clavicular group of axillary lymph glands, 1-11, lies in the region between the upper border of the pectoralis minor and the clavicle, along the medial side of the axillary artery. The glands receive efferents from the arm, from the other groups of axillary glands, and directly from the mamma and the pectoral muscles, along the line of the pectoral branches of the thoraco-acromial artery, and from the inter-pectoral glands. Their efferents pass to the inferior deep cervical glands and to the subclavian lymph trunk (Fig. 806).
(9) A delto-pectoral lymph gland is occasionally found in the groove between the deltoid and the pectoralis major muscles. It receives afferents from the superficial parts of the arm and the shoulder, and gives efferents to the subclavian trunk and to the infra-clavicular glands.
(h) Small inter-pectoral lymph glands are sometimes found between the great and small pectoral muscles. They are connected with the lymph vessels which pass from the posterior part of the mamma to the infra-clavicular glands (Fig. 806).
THE LYMPH VESSELS OF THE SUPERIOR EXTREMITY.
The lymph vessels of the superior extremity, like the glands, form two groups-(1) superficial, and (2) deep.
(1) The superficial lymph vessels lie in the skin and the subcutaneous tissues. They commence in cutaneous plexuses, which are finest and most dense on the volar aspects of the fingers and hand. The efferents from the volar digital plexus of each finger pass to the dorsum of the digit. There they unite to form dorsal digital vessels, 2-4, which run to the dorsum of the hand where they unite together to form new vessels.
FIG. 808.-SUPERFICIAL LYMPHATICS OF THE DIGITS AND OF THE DORSAL ASPECT OF THE HAND.
The efferents from the volar plexus of the hand run proximally, distally, and to the lateral and medial margins of the hand. The lateral efferents, as they turn round the lateral border of the hand, join the efferents of the thumb. The medial efferents turn round the medial border of the hand, and join the efferents of the little finger. The afferents which run proximally are few and variable; when they are present they lie along the line of the superficial median vein of the forearm. The efferents which run distally pass to the interdigital clefts where they turn dorsally and join the vessels on the dorsum of the hand (Figs. 807, 808).
As the superficial lymphatics pass towards the elbow they tend to form two main streams(1) a lateral stream which accompanies the cephalic vein, and (2) a medial stream which accompanies the basilic vein. The lymph vessels which commence on the dorsum of the hand and forearm converge to one or other of the two main groups of vessels. In the region of
the elbow the vessels of the two streams anastomose together and some pass through the fase a and join the deep cubital glands.
As they pass from the forearm to the arm, the majority of the lymph vessels conver towards the medial side. Some join the superficial cubital glands, but others pass those gland and accompany their efferents, along the basilic vein, to the axilla where they join the later. group of axillary glands. There is, however, a varying number of lymph vessels, from the lateral stream of the forearm, which accompany the cephalic vein in the arm. Some of these terminate in the delto-pectoral gland, if it is present, but, whether it is present or not, some pass directly to the infra-clavicular glands.
The superficial lymph vessels of the arm terminate, for the most part, in the lateral grou of axillary glands.
The deep lymph vessels of the upper extremity accompany the deeper blood-vessels. Some of the lymph vessels of the hand and forearm end in the deep glands, which are occasionally present in the forearm, but the majority either end in the deep cubital glands, or they pass directly to the lateral group of axillary glands.
The Lymph Vessels of the Mamma.-As the mamma is a modified skin gland, and as it is embedded in the superficial fascia, the lymph vessels which issue from it pass first into the superficial fascia and thence into the deep fascia. Having traverse! the deep fascia, more or less obliquely, they either end in lymph glands or enter and traverse other layers of the body wall.
The main outflow of lymph from the substance of the mamma is towards the areola, where a subcutaneous plexus of lymph vessels is formed. From that plexus two or more main vessels of large size pass laterally (Fig. 806), pierce the deep fascia and join the anterior group of axillary glands. There are, however, other groups of vessels by which lymph may pass from the mamma. Some vessels issue from the medial border of the gland and run along the lines of the neighbouring anterior perforating branches of the internal mammary artery to the anterior ends of the intercostal spaces; there they pass through the deeper parts of the thoracic wall and end in the sternal lymph glands. Clinical evidence (Sampson Handley) has shown that some vessels, from the lower and medial part of the gland, pass to the angle between the seventh rib and the xiphoid process, where they pierce the fibrous layers of the abdominal wall and join the lymph vessels in the extra-peritoneal fascia of the upper part of the abdomen. It is through those vessels that cancer cells not uncommonly travel from the mamma to the abdomen (Fig. 806).
Lymph vessels pass also from the deep part of the mammary gland, through the deep fascia and the pectoralis major, and then ascend, along the line of the pectoral branches of the thoraco-acromial artery, to the infra-clavicular region, where they terminate either in the inter-pectoral or the infra-clavicular glands, or in both groups It is possible that some of those vessels, after piercing the costo-coracoid membrane, may pass directly to the inferior deep cervical glands (Fig. 806).
It is stated, further, that some of the lymph vessels which issue from the mamms pierce the whole thickness of the thoracic wall and join the lymph vessels which lie in the endo-thoracic fascia, which intervenes between the ribs and the intercostal muscles externally and the pleural membrane internally.
THE LYMPH GLANDS OF THE THORAX.
The lymph glands of the thorax form 5 named groups, with subdivisions.
(1) Lymphoglandulæ Sternales. The sternal lymph glands form two groups each of which lies at the corresponding margin of the sternum along the line of the internal mammary artery. The glands are variable in number (4-18) and in size. They receive afferents from the upper part of the muscles of the abdominal wall. from the diaphragm, from the anterior part of the wall of the thorax, and from the medial portions of the mammæ. Their efferents communicate with the upper anterior mediastinal glands and with the inferior deep cervical glands, and they terminate on the right side in the right lymphatic or the right broncho-mediastinal duct and on the left in the thoracic duct. Occasionally, also, they end directly in the internal jugular or the subclavian vein.
(2) Lymphoglandulæ Intercostales.-The intercostal lymph glands are lateral and medial. The lateral glands lie in the posterior parts of the intercostal spaces, the medial are placed in front of the heads of the ribs. Their afferents are derived from the boundaries and contents of the spaces. The efferents of the glands of the upper spaces pass either to the posterior mediastinal glands or to the thoracic
duct. Those of the lower spaces, on each side, form a descending trunk which passes through the aortic opening of the diaphragm and ends in the cisterna chyli. 1 mort sin

Blood Knights gets new publisher, release window
By Nick Santangelo	• 6 years ago
After repeated delays for various reasons, German developer Deck 13 Interactive's Blood Knights might finally have its real release window in sight, according to a press release from the game's new publisher, Kobalt Games. Blood Knights, which will be the first release under the newly formed Kobalt Games label, is now scheduled for a Q4 2013 release, meaning it could potentially arrive on XBLA as soon as next week.
For Deck 13's hack-n-slash title, it's been a long and winding road to release. Originally announced in July of 2012, the co-op vampire-hunting game was first planned for an October 31, 2012 release. Unfortunately for those looking forward to Blood Knights, Halloween 2012 came and went without a word from Deck 13 or its thenpublisher, DTP Entertainment.
The game's developer took to its official Facebook page a couple weeks later to reveal that Blood Knights was still coming and would arrive in December 2012. "We are sorry to announce that the release date for Blood Knights has been delayed until December," wrote a Deck 13 representative. "Keep your seats, sceptics… [sic] as this is due to legal negotiations which has [sic] taken us longer than we planned."
It wasn't until after Christmas that Deck 13 released a new trailer for the game that revealed it would, unsurprisingly, not be hitting its December 2012 window. However, a seemingly concrete release date of February 20, 2013 was announced at that time. And then nothing happened for a long, long time.
Actually, something did happen: Hamburg, Germany-based DTP Entertainment, which XBLA gamers likely remember best as the publisher behind Awesomenauts, went bankrupt.
No price was mentioned for Blood Knights in yesterday's press release. The now-defunct DTP Entertainment announced the game to be a $15 release way back in August of 2012, but there's no telling at this time whether or not that price will hold true when the game releases later this year.
Kobalt Games, which is part of the Kalypso Media Group, will focus on releasing games at "a mid-price level with a maximum price of £24.99, €29.99, $29.99," meaning its plenty possible that Blood Knights will still be released at its original $15 price. XBLAFans has reached out to Kalypso Media in regards to Blood Knights' final price and will update this story should a response be issued.

Deer rescued after getting stuck in mud at Bolinas Lagoon
By Janis Mara and Marin Independent Journal |
PUBLISHED: December 21, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 7, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
A deer mired in the mud in Bolinas Lagoon was rescued by the Marin Humane Society and Stinson Beach firefighters this weekend.
Witnesses reported the stuck deer at about 2 p.m. Saturday. Animal control officers placed a "control pole" around the deer"s neck to pull it out with the help of firefighters, said Lisa Bloch, spokeswoman for the Marin Humane Society.
After pulling the deer out of the water, rescuers used a blanket to clean off the mud and then checked the animal out, determining that despite the ordeal, it was unhurt.
Then they asked onlookers to leave because "deer are so sensitive to their surroundings, the best thing is for the deer to recover on its own," Bloch said.
Wildlife specialists advise people not to assist stuck or distressed animals.
"I would caution people that deer are large animals," said Alison Hermance, spokeswoman for San Rafael-based WildCare. "We think of them as timid and shy, but they can be dangerous. Their hooves are sharp. We don"t recommend getting close to them. You definitely want to call for assistance."
Getting stuck in the mud is not that common for deer, who are careful about their footing so they can escape predators, Hermance said. She said a bigger threat is holiday decorations.
"We recommend against hanging lights between shrubs, because a deer walking through will end up getting lights tangled in their antlers. This is a fairly common thing," Hermance said.
Lights should be hung up tightly against trees and houses, she said.
Bloch expressed gratitude to the people who alerted authorities to the deer"s plight.
"I think it"s really wonderful," she said. "It speaks volumes about the caring nature of people in Marin that they would take this seriously about the deer getting stuck. It"s a wonderful coming-together for this one little deer." —— (c)2015 The Marin Independent Journal (Novato, Calif.)

A CHRISTCHURCH PRESS PROJECT
The 1900 Photographs
The Charlotte Jane
The Randalph
The Sir George Seymour
The Cressy
Others on the ships
The First Four Ships carried the Canterbury Association's first settlers. The Association, founded in 1848 and guided by Edward Gibbon Wakefield and John Robert Godley, imagined the founding of an Anglican Church settlement in New Zealand comprising a cross-section of English society. In late 1848, the Association's land surveyors found what they considered the ideal site for the proposed settlement of Canterbury and its chief town, Christchurch (originally, the Wairarapa was to be the site). In May 1849, official sanction was gained and the Association in London was notified. By July 1849, the setting out of the port town and surveying of the Bridle Path and Port Hills were under way. On January 3, 1850, the Association's purchase terms were approved for a reservation of 2½ million acres in the Canterbury region. With that, the Association began recruiting emigrants, and by July 1850, preparations were well under way for the voyage to New Zealand.
Those who came to Canterbury on the First Four Ships were divided into two main groups: "colonists" and "emigrants". Colonists travelled as cabin passengers and had the money to buy land in the new settlement. The Canterbury Association required that a rural allotment of at least 50 acres be bought at £3 an acre, as well as a town section in either Lyttelton or Christchurch. These high prices were aimed at preventing labourers and the like from buying land. The Association intended that the colonists be the leaders in Canterbury in its formative years.
The "emigrants" were mainly agricultural labourers, tradesmen, domestic servants and young married couples. Emigrants travelled in steerage and paid what they could afford for their fare. The shortfall was made up either by the Canterbury Association or by their future employers travelling on the same ship. Emigrants were required to be under 40 years old, to provide their own tools, and to supply testimonials as to their qualifications, medical certificates and certificates from the minister of their parish, countersigned by a Justice of the Peace.
Cabin passengers paid £42 a berth, intermediate passengers £25 a berth, and steerage passengers £15. Each ship carried a chaplain, a surgeon and a schoolmaster, all paid for by the Canterbury Association. The doctor received 10 shillings for every passenger safely delivered to Lyttelton, but had to pay back 20 shillings for every passenger who died.
Early on Saturday, September 7, 1850, the first ship, the Charlotte Jane, departed Plymouth Sound, England. The Randolph followed a few hours later, and late on Saturday night the Cressy left. The Sir George Seymour departed the following day about 11am. The exact number of passengers on board the ships is not known; surgeons' lists and shipping lists do not match, and some young children were not counted. About 154 passengers were on the Charlotte Jane, 217 on the Randolph, 155 on the Cressy, and 227 on the Sir George Seymour.
Life on board was cramped. Steerage passengers were confined to a small space below the main deck. Single men slept in bunks 6½ feet long by 2 feet wide. Married couples shared a slightly wider bunk (3½ feet) and had a curtain for privacy. This space was used not only for sleeping, but also for storing everything needed for the voyage. There was a lack of fresh air, and dampness was a constant concern.
Basic food was provided, such as salted meat, flour, rice, biscuits and potatoes, but steerage passengers had to cook it themselves. A large table was fixed to the floor down the middle of the steerage area for this. A bucket was supplied for washing and laundry.
Cabin passengers had slightly better conditions. Living quarters had more space and privacy, and meals were cooked and served by stewards.
Many suffered from seasickness. The worst of this was during the first two weeks, but for some it continued for the whole voyage. Passengers passed the time at sea plotting the ship's course, writing letters and diaries, sewing, playing cards and games, and dancing. Prayer meetings were held every morning and afternoon, and there was a full church service on Sundays. There were also school lessons for the children.
The Charlotte Jane anchored at Lyttelton at 10am on Monday, December 16, 1850. The Randolph arrived at 3.30pm. The Sir George Seymour anchored at 10am the following day, and the Cressy arrived on December 27. The ships brought about 800 people to Lyttelton. Initially, many were housed in immigration barracks, while others set up V-huts and tents. As soon as possible, many of the settlers made the arduous journey up the steep Bridle Path to the summit of the Port Hills and then down into a swampy Christchurch.
Heavy goods were transported by boat down Lyttelton harbour, across the shallow bar of the Sumner Estuary and then up the Avon River. A number of families lost their possessions when boats sank crossing the bar.
784 people have registered to add information to this site.
670 of those registered have agreed to be contacted by other registered members.
191 more passengers have been added to the site than were in the 1900 photographs and listed in the First Four Ships book.
348 entries of additional information on the passengers have been added to this site by registered members.
Copies of the book have sold out. It will not be reprinted.
Project editor Mark Wilson writes:
In January 2006, The Press published a series of articles on the Canterbury Association's First Four Ships. The genesis of the series was the rediscovery by Christchurch man Peter Day of four group photographs taken in 1900 of surviving passengers of the Charlotte Jane, Randolph, Sir George Seymour and Cressy.
The photographs were first published in The Weekly Press in 1901, each with a simple caption list of names. We decided to enlist the help of our readers to find out who these people were and what had become of them.
In the case of the better-known names, such as the Hon. C. C. Bowen, much was already known. But in the case of others, particularly women identified solely by the name of their husband (eg, Mrs J. Thompson), we knew very little. So we commissioned two researchers, post-graduate history student Victoria Cook and Randolph expert Margaret Copland, to write a brief account of who these individuals were, when they were born, when they died and where they lived.
The information was to be gained from secondary sources, such as published books. The intention was not to find new information but rather to summarise what was readily known and, in so doing, point to where there were gaps. We then asked our readers to help fill those gaps.
I was not prepared for the avalanche of information that followed. Several hundred emails and envelopes came in through January and early February. New material was still arriving six months later.
Some readers provided information about people who were on the First Four Ships but were not in the photographs. Others expressed disappointment at their descendants not being mentioned in the series; more than once I was held responsible for someone's ancestor not being in the line-up in 1900. Those wishing to do so can add information on such individuals to this website.
Mark Wilson is features editor of The Press. He has a BA (Hons) in New Zealand and Pacific history from Canterbury University.
Chief researcher Victoria Cook writes:
When I started researching the photographs of surviving passengers of the Charlotte Jane, Sir George Seymour and Cressy (Margaret Copland researched the Randolph), my goal was to find out the person's first name, when they were born, when they died, and who they travelled with to Canterbury. From there, I could search a number of sources for other information.
I found that for some people, particularly those of some renown in Canterbury, there was much information and this needed to be edited for publication. For others, particularly women, there was no information. In some cases my assumptions were based on speculation, and I was aware at this stage of the project that some of my "guesswork" would be wrong.
The response to the articles in The Press was overwhelming. After the many bits of new information were collected, it was my task to sort and sift them to produce additions and corrections to the material already published.
The information received varied greatly from person to person. For some, a number of family members wrote in; for others, only one was forthcoming; and for a few, no further information was received. Nonetheless, it was possible to add to and correct much of the initial research.
This project has relied on information gathered from family histories, family trees and personal testimonies. Some correspondence came with notes on where the information was obtained - for example a marriage or birth certificate - but some did not. For a historian, this lack of documentation is problematic. This is not to say that the information is incorrect or not sourced from reliable data, but there needs to be caution. Memories fade, and family myths can turn into "reality". Hence, it is possible that some of the additional information is not based on reliable evidence and will itself be subject to future correction.
Victoria Cook has a BA (Hons) in New Zealand history from Canterbury University. She is currently researching an MA thesis on the relationship between New Zealand women and US servicemen during World War 2.

At Main Line Health we make every effort to support mothers who wish to breastfeed. Breastfed babies may have decreased incidence or severity of conditions such as diarrhea, lower respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, bacterial meningitis, and other infections. Breast milk offers possible protection against sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), asthma, and large list of other disorders and diseases. There are also numerous benefits to the nursing mother, including earlier return to pre-pregnancy weight, and reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer as well as reduced risk of ovarian cancer.
Main Line Health proudly offers inpatient breastfeeding support from our skilled nurses, and each of our hospitals in the Philadelphia suburbs offers guidance from International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC).
Main Line Health provides prenatal breastfeeding classes, as well as staff trained in breastfeeding to assist breastfeeding mothers and babies during their hospital stay. Lactation rounds are made routinely on each breastfeeding mother. Lactation support is also available to all breastfeeding mothers with babies in the NICU or in the Pediatric Unit.
After discharge, we offer free breastfeeding support groups that are open to anyone in the community. In addition, we offer a "warm line" that any new mother can call, leave a message, and have an Main Line Health board-certified lactation consultant call you back. The number is 484.565.8075.
Board-certified lactation consultants are available for home or office consults on a fee-for-service basis. Some insurers will even pay for a consult with an in-network IBCLC.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When asylum seekers receive their leave to remain in the UK they are often given just 28 days to vacate their Home Office accommodation and find somewhere else to live. They get no preferential treatment regarding the allocation of social housing and have to join housing waiting lists like everybody else. However, the notice period is almost always too short for them to find alternative housing, so they inevitably have to suffer a period of homelessness. Many of them may have only been in the UK for a couple of months and therefore have no friends, little knowledge of the English language and no money to support themselves. Life on the streets is dangerous, especially for women, and makes it impossible for refugees to work and get established in the community.

Miss Parker spun in the direction of the sound realizing it had come from within the Parker family gravesite.
Heart pounding, she crept through the gate into the solemn grounds to a headstone with the name Catherine Parker. Miss P swallowed dryly. Atop her mother's resting place was a present – a present left for her by Jarod.
Miss Parker couldn't feel her feet in those last couple of steps to the grave. She hadn't set foot here since the day she dropped a handful of soil onto the coffin and turned her back on her mother – the way she felt her mother had turned her back on her. She'd walked away intending never to return. On that day, from deep inside her soul, Little Miss had summoned a stern look she'd locked upon her face to keep from crying, from feeling the pain. It was a look that had remained on her face for far too many years. She summoned it again now as she knelt down and reached for the present.

'Presumed intimacy' refers to a relationship that requires instant trust, confidence, disclosure and the recognition of vulnerability. Chris Rojek investigates the impact of relationships of 'presumed intimacy', where audiences form strong identifications with mediated others, whether they be celebrities, political personae or online friends. Arguing that the way the media are able to manage these relationships is a significant aspect of their power structure, the core of the book is an investigation into the complicity of the media in encouraging presumed intimacy and the cultural, social and political consequences arising from this. Beyond this, it examines how intimacy is performed as a masquerade in many social settings – the scripts we follow in social settings that try to manufacture a shortcut to intimacy.
A compelling look into mediated relationships in the network society, Presumed Intimacy will be a key contribution to the critical analysis of society, media and culture.
"Encompassing topics as diverse as Mae West's fame and the consequences of Hurricane Katrina, Charles Dickens's novels and the dilemmas of modern democracy, Rojek's book is a tour-de-force of interdisciplinary social criticism. Ambitious in scope, brilliant in execution, it constitutes nothing less than a profound meditation on what it means to be a human being today."
"Rojek has created yet another of his unique and insightful analyses of the contemporary world. As "familiar strangers" we live in a tenuous world built on presumed intimacy. One's anger about this world builds as one progresses through the book and leads one to applaud Rojek's call for, among other things, the veracity and emotional integrity that are increasingly being lost in our world of increasing presumed intimacy."

Q: How to use group by without using an aggregation function I am trying to find the row number of the price while grouping them with respect to their ProductId. For ProductId = 1, rank of price (where price = 1000) should be smt. For productId=3, rank of price (= 1000) should be sth.

*

*How can I find row number of price for different productId in the same table?

*How can I achieve this using group by without aggregation for Row_number.
ProductId   Price
-----------------
   1         2000
   1         1600
   1         1000
   2         2200
   2         1000
   2         3250
   3         1000
   3         2500
   3         1750

So result should be
ProductId   Price   PriceRank
------------------------------
    1       1000       3
    2       1000       2
    3       1000       1

This is my code:
SELECT
    ProductId,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY price ASC) AS PriceRank
FROM
    product
WHERE
    price = 1000
GROUP BY
    ProductId

A: This will give you correct result:
select * from
(SELECT ProductId,price,ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (partition by productid order by productid ) AS PriceRank
FROM products) a
WHERE price =1000

A: Not sure if this is the best way to do it.. but it certainly is ONE way to do it
    ;WITH mycte AS (
SELECT
 1 as  ProductId  ,      2000 as  Price
 UNION ALL  SELECT
1 ,        1600
 UNION ALL  SELECT

 UNION ALL  SELECT
2 ,        3250
 UNION ALL  SELECT
3 ,        1000
 UNION ALL  SELECT
3  ,       2500
 UNION ALL  SELECT
3 ,        1750
)
,my_rank as (
Select

, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ProductId ORDER BY rownumber) pricerank

FROM my_rank
)
SELECT
ProductId
, Price
,pricerank

FROM ranking

WHERE Price = 1000

A: Try this:
declare @result table(ProductID smallint, Price int, PriceRank smallint)
declare @product table(ProductID smallint, Price int) --replicate your table data
declare @id smallint
--feed table with your data
insert into @product
select ProductId, Price from product

while(exists(select * from @product))
begin
    select top 1 @id = ProductId from @product
    insert into @result
    SELECT
        ProductId, price,
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ProductID) as CountPerGroup
    FROM @product
    WHERE ProductID = @id
    delete from @product where ProductID = @id
end

select * from @result where Price = 1000

Pipelines can stretch for thousands of miles across varying terrain. Some of the areas can be relatively flat, posing little threat of geologic events to a pipelines' structural integrity.
However other regions may be more susceptible to ground displacement, subsidence and landslides. Pipeline corridors that cross mountainous terrain are especially vulnerable. Midstream and downstream oil and gas operators have determined that to protect their investments and maintain public safety, assessment and management program are needed. Proactively dealing with such threats is an integral part of asset integrity management. Preparing for and perhaps preventing a pipeline rupture is better than having to react to one.
Even in areas where landslide occurrence may be frequent, the threat may not be significant. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, many pipelines are buried to depths of about one meter. Shallow landslides or those that cause little erosion damage aren't a particular threat to those pipelines. Yet, significant landslides brought on by an excessive amount of precipitation could cause catastrophic damage.
According to the USGS, there are generally two approaches a company may take to assess regional landslide threats: quantitative and qualitative.
A qualitative method often employs maps and either relies on the expertise of a geologist, engineer or technician to interpret them and give a probability of whether a landslide will happen in a specific location. Types of qualitative analysis are geomorphic, in which an expert will determine the likelihood of a landslide based on aerial imagery or observation.
Weighted parameter analysis is another type of qualitative method in which an expert uses weighted parameter maps. In a publication for the USGS entitled "Landslide Hazards to Pipelines – Regional Hazard Mapping," Edwin L. Harp wrote that experts choose and map parameters, such as geology, drainage density and slope, that determine geologic stability in a particular area. Then, a weight is assigned to each parameter to determine its potential contribution to a landslide.
Harp stated the maps are overlaid upon each other to create an overall hazard map. The entire process could be automated through a Geologic Information Systems (GIS) platform.
A quantitative method takes more of a data-driven approach. "Quantitative methods of depicting probability of landslides vary from the purely statistical correlation of various factors to physical process-based models that attempt to replicate the failure and, in some cases, the movement of slope materials," Harp noted.
The USGS survey indicated there are statistical techniques and geotechnical models for assessing landslide probability. Statistical analysis allows the different weights of each topographical and geographic parameter to be compared directly with a landslide map.
Geotechnical models, however, use engineering slope stability analysis. Physical properties of materials in a specific location are quantified and implemented in mathematical models to determine a factor of safety, or FS. FS is the ratio of forces that encourage slope movement to those that resist.
In a report from May 2015, The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission suggested a three-phase approach to a landslide assessment program that moves from regional assessment to that of specific sites. The commission's report stated active landslide hazards are often "re-activations" of past landslides. So much of the program emphasizes studies of previous landslides.
The first phase of the commission's plan is a qualitative approach in which engineers conduct a geomorphic analysis of areas where landslides occurred. Each analyzed area is issued a landslide hazard threat level of "low," "moderate" or "high." Aerial photos are taken, and data is managed by GIS.
Phase two evaluates specific sites and delves into each previous landslide more fully. Experts use non-intrusive methods to investigate to confirm threat levels. Phase three then uses data collected from landslides to develop a mitigation plan. The program team also develops a plan to monitor such sites so it can react accordingly in case a landslide occurs.
During phase three, teams also use intrusive methods to study the ground's surface and subsurface to develop a model that will further enhance landslide mitigation techniques.
In addition to evaluating for geological stresses and threats, operators can utilize geotechnical monitoring/instrumentation techniques to assess the overall performance capabilities of the asset in question.

Alex Weiser is an American composer of contemporary classical music.

Biography
Weiser was born in New York City to a Jewish family. He attended Stuyvesant High School and Yale University, and received a master's degree in Music Theory and Composition from New York University. He studied with Paul Alan Levi, Martin Bresnick, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe among others.

Weiser's debut album, and all the days were purple, was released by Cantaloupe Music in April 2019, and was named a 2020 Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Music. The album features singer Eliza Bagg singing songs set to poetry in Yiddish and English by poets including Anna Margolin, Rachel Korn, Abraham Sutzkever, Emily Dickinson, and William Carlos Williams. Probing contemporary Jewish identity, the album grew out of Weiser's work as the Director of Public Programs at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.

Other of Weiser's works explore Jewish themes as well including an opera, State of the Jews, which is a historical drama about Theodor Herzl, and after shir hashirim for chamber orchestra which takes its inspiration from the biblical Song of Songs. Common themes in Weiser's work also include death and transience as exemplified by his work Three Epitaphs. Other major works have included shimmer for eight spatially arrayed cellos written for and recorded by Ashley Bathgate as a companion piece to Steve Reich's Cello Counterpoint, and water hollows stone for piano four hands, written for HOCKET.

In addition to his work as a composer and at YIVO, Weiser is co-founder and artistic director of Kettle Corn New Music, and worked for about five years as the Director of Operations and Development at the MATA Festival.

My pick of November 2019's monthly Kindle deals
Here's this month's list of books that took my fancy. Usual rules apply – all books I include are those I've either read and recommend, or are books that are patiently waiting to be read, or they're ones I'd happily to add to my reading list. Therefore it's a list that's skewed towards what currently appeals to me so feel free to look at the complete list on Amazon here.
The Christmas Invitation by Trisha Ashley
Meg is definitely not in the Christmas mood. She's never gone in for tinsel, baubles and mistletoe, and right now she's still getting over an illness. Yet when she's invited to spend the run-up to Christmas in the snowy countryside, rather than dreary London, she can't refuse.
Arriving at a warm and cosy family home in a small hilltop village, Meg soon begins to wonder what a proper Christmas might be like. But just as she's beginning to settle in, she spots a familiar face. Lex.
Despite the festive cheer, Meg suddenly wants nothing more than to get as far away from him, and their past secrets, as she can. But if she stays, could this be the year she finally discovers the magic of Christmas…?
The Tuscan Secret by Angela Petch
Il Mulino. An old crumbling mill, by a winding river, nestled in the Tuscan mountains. An empty home that holds memories of homemade pasta and Nonna's stories by the fire, and later: the Nazi invasion, and a family torn apart by a heartbreaking betrayal.
Anna is distraught when her beloved mother, Ines, passes away. She inherits a box of papers, handwritten in Italian and yellowed with age, and a tantalising promise that the truth about what happened during the war lies within.
The diaries lead Anna to the small village of Rofelle, where she slowly starts to heal as she explores sun-kissed olive groves, and pieces together her mother's past: happy days spent herding sheep across Tuscan meadows cruelly interrupted when World War Two erupted and the Nazis arrived; fleeing her home to join the Resistenza; and risking everything to protect an injured British soldier who captured her heart. But Anna is no closer to learning the truth: what sent Ines running from her adored homeland?
When she meets an elderly Italian gentleman living in a deserted hamlet, who flinches at her mother's name and refuses to speak English, Anna is sure he knows more about the devastating secret that tore apart her mother's family. But in this small Tuscan community, some wartime secrets were never meant to be uncovered…
The Things I Know by Amanda Prowse
Thomasina 'Hitch' Waycott loves living and working on the remote family farm and B&B. But she also wants more. To see the world. To own her own home. To fall madly in love.
But those are fairy tales, and if her life is a fairy tale, then she's the ugly duckling. Her deformed lip, her crooked limbs and her weak heart have kept her from taking chances. But that's about to change.
When Grayson Potts comes to stay, he's unlike anyone Thomasina has ever met. He's aloof, eccentric and exceptionally kind. He's also totally unconcerned with the physical flaws that have always defined Thomasina.
The two form a bond that neither has had before. It's possible that it could become something more, but Thomasina also wonders if it's too good to be true. By putting her heart on the line, Thomasina may open herself to heartbreak. But she may also open herself to so much more.
The Outcast Dead by Elly Griffiths
Ruth has excavated a body from the grounds of Norwich Castle, which was once a prison. The body may be that of Victorian murderess Jemima Green. Called Mother Hook for her claw-like hand, Jemima was hanged for the murder of five children.
DCI Harry Nelson has no time for long-ago killers. Investigating the case of three infants found dead, one after the other, in their King's Lynn home, he's convinced that their mother is responsible.
Then a child goes missing. Could the abduction be linked to the long-dead Mother Hook? Ruth is pulled into the case, and back towards Nelson.
Wilding : The Return of Nature to the British Farm
In Wilding, Isabella Tree tells the story of the 'Knepp experiment', a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex, using free-roaming grazing animals to create new habitats for wildlife. Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, Wilding is, above all, an inspiring story of hope.
Forced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy clay of their land at Knepp was economically unsustainable, Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over. Thanks to the introduction of free-roaming cattle, ponies, pigs and deer – proxies of the large animals that once roamed Britain – the 3,500 acre project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife numbers and diversity in little over a decade.
Extremely rare species, including turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons, lesser spotted woodpeckers and purple emperor butterflies, are now breeding at Knepp, and populations of other species are rocketing. The Burrells' degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again, heaving with life – all by itself.
Personal and inspirational, Wilding is an astonishing account of the beauty and strength of nature, when it is given as much freedom as possible.
Twisted by Steve Cavanagh
BEFORE YOU READ THIS BOOK
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THREE THINGS:
1. The police are looking to charge me with murder.
2. No one knows who I am. Or how I did it.
3. If you think you've found me. I'm coming for you next.
After you've read this book, you'll know: the truth is far more twisted…
One Little Mistake by Emma Curtis
YOU TRUSTED YOUR BEST FRIEND . . . YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.
Vicky Seagrave is blessed: three beautiful children, a successful, doting husband, great friends and a job she loves. She should be perfectly happy.
When she makes a split-second decision that risks everything she holds dear, there's only person she trusts enough to turn to.
But Vicky is about to learn that one mistake is all it takes; that if you're careless with those you love, you don't deserve to keep them . . .
Prophecy by S J Parris (Giordano Bruno Book 2)
Autumn, 1583. Under Elizabeth's rule, loyalty is bought with blood…
An astrological phenomenon heralds the dawn of a new age and Queen Elizabeth's throne is in peril. As Mary Stuart's supporters scheme to usurp the rightful monarch, a young maid of honour is murdered, occult symbols carved into her flesh.
The Queen's spymaster, Francis Walsingham, calls on maverick agent Giordano Bruno to infiltrate the plotters and secure the evidence that will condemn them to death.
Bruno is cunning, but so are his enemies. His identity could be exposed at any moment. The proof he seeks is within his grasp. But the young woman's murder could point to an even more sinister truth…
The Yorkshire Shepherdess by Amanda Owen
Amanda Owen has been seen by millions on ITV's The Dales and Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm, living a life that has almost gone in today's modern world, a life ruled by the seasons and her animals. She is a farmer's wife and shepherdess, living alongside her husband Clive and seven children at Ravenseat, a 2000 acre sheep hill farm at the head of Swaledale in North Yorkshire. It's a challenging life but one she loves.
In The Yorkshire Shepherdess she describes how the rebellious girl from Huddersfield, who always wanted to be a shepherdess, achieved her dreams. Full of amusing anecdotes and unforgettable characters, the book takes us from fitting in with the locals to fitting in motherhood, from the demands of the livestock to the demands of raising a large family in such a rural backwater. Amanda also evokes the peace of winter, when they can be cut off by snow without electricity or running water, the happiness of spring and the lambing season, and the backbreaking tasks of summertime – haymaking and sheepshearing – inspiring us all to look at the countryside and those who work there with new appreciation.
Peaches for Monsieur Le Cure by Joanne Harris
It isn't often you receive a letter from the dead.
When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave, she allows the wind to blow her back to the village in south-west France where, eight years ago, she opened up a chocolate shop. But Lansquenet is different now: women veiled in black, the scent of spices and peppermint tea, and, on the bank of the river Tannes, facing the church: a minaret.
Nor is it only the incomers from North Africa that have brought change. Father Reynaud, Vianne's erstwhile adversary, is disgraced and under threat. Could it be that Vianne is the only one who can save him now?
The Queen of Bloody Everything by Joanna Nadin
Joanna Nadin's first novel for adults, The Queen of Bloody Everything, is about mothers, daughters and how we can make many choices in life but can't choose where we come from.
As Edie Jones lies in a bed on the fourteenth floor of a Cambridge hospital, her adult daughter Dido tells their story, starting with the day that changed everything.
That was the day Dido – aged exactly six years and twenty-seven days old – met the next door neighbours and fell in love.
Because the Trevelyans were exactly the kind of family Dido dreamed of.
Missing Pieces by Laura Pearson
What if the one thing that kept you together was breaking you apart?
All Linda wants to do is sleep. She won't look at her husband. She can't stand her daughter. And she doesn't want to have this baby. Having this baby means moving on, and she just wants to go back to before. Before their family was torn apart, before the blame was placed.
Alienated by their own guilt and struggling to cope, the Sadler family unravels. They grow up, grow apart, never talking about their terrible secret.
That is until Linda's daughter finds out she's pregnant. Before she brings another Sadler into the world, Bea needs to know what happened twenty-five years ago. What did they keep from her? What happened that couldn't be fixed?
A devastating mistake, a lifetime of consequences. How can you repair something broken if pieces are missing?
Another Mother by Amanda James

When a tragic accident changes her life forever it sets her on a mission to get in contact with her birth mother and find out the reasons behind her adoption.
When she tracks down her mother in Cornwall there is an emotional reunion and the pair begin to form a relationship.
But is everything as wonderful as it appears or has Lu walked into a nightmare?
The Dying Season by Martin Walker
The Dordogne town of St Denis may be picturesque and sleepy, but it has more than its fair share of mysteries, as Bruno knows all too well.
But when Bruno is invited to the 90th birthday of a powerful local patriarch – a war hero with high-level political connections in France, Russia and Israel – he encounters a family with more secrets than even he had imagined. When one of the other guests is found dead the next morning and the family try to cover it up, Bruno knows it's his duty to prevent the victim from becoming just another skeleton in their closet. Even if his digging reveals things Bruno himself would rather keep buried.
Meanwhile, very modern battles are being fought in St Denis between hunters defending their traditions and environmentalists protecting local wildlife. Neither side, it seems, is above the use of violent tactics.
At the centre of it all, Bruno must use all his cunning and character to protect his community's future from its present – and its past.
The Betrayal by Helen Dunmore
Leningrad, 1952. Andrei, a young hospital doctor and Anna, a nursery school teacher, are forging a life together in the post-war, post-siege wreckage. But their happiness is precarious, like that of millions of Russians who must avoid the claws of Stalin's merciless Ministry for State security. So when Andrei is asked to treat the seriously ill child of a senior secret police officer, he and Anna are fearful. Trapped in an impossible, maybe unwinnable game, can they avoid the whispers and watchful eyes of those who will say or do anything to save themselves?
The Handmade Apothecary by Vicky Chown & Kim Walker

A Litter of Bones by J D Kirk
Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made?
Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped the serial child-killer dubbed 'Mister Whisper,' earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage in the process.
Now, he spends his days working in Glasgow's Major Investigations Team, and his nights reliving the horrors of what he saw.
And what he did.
When another child disappears a hundred miles north in the Highlands, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home.
But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?
And, if so, is the real Mister Whisper about to claim his fourth victim?

Great selection, happy reading!
Thanks Jules.
I loved The Queen of Bloody Everything and highly recommend it! xx
Great, I actually bought that one x
I love that you do these posts because even though I've looked through the deals I've still discovered two books in your post that are on my wish list and yet I missed spotting them! I'm now off to buy The Christmas Invitation and Wilding. 🙂 There are some fab-sounding books in the deals this month, I'm trying to be good but am so tempted to have a spending spree!
I aim to please Hayley! To be honest, I find I go 'Book Blind' when I'm just scrolling through a list. I go through several times and still find titles I missed the first time. Sorry for the temptation, but on the plus side they are a good price.

Oh, how I've missed your ebook influence!! I'm tempted by all the crime fiction 🙈
And I've missed you!! Hope this means you'll be spending a bit more time with us? My new Kindle deal feature allows me a double dose of monthly temptation – especially as I'm supposed to be cutting down on the buying (you can see it's going well😂) x
I'm hoping to get back into it, but I'll probably start with one or two posts a week! I may have been absent from the blogosphere but my book buying has stayed at an all time high 🙈😂
That's my girl! Lovely to have you back xx
