European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), judicial organ established in 1959 that is charged with supervising the enforcement of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950; commonly known as the European Convention on Human Rights), which was drawn up by the Council of Europe. The convention obligates signatories to guarantee various civil and political freedoms, including the freedom of expression and religion and the right to a fair trial. It is headquartered in Strasbourg, France.
Individuals who believe their human rights have been violated and who are unable to remedy their claim through their national legal system may petition the ECHR to hear the case and render a verdict. The court, which also can hear cases brought by states, may award financial compensation, and its decisions often require changes in national law. Consisting of more than 40 judges elected for nonrenewable nine-year terms, the ECHR normally works in seven-judge chambers. Judges do not represent their countries.
In order to handle the growing number of cases more efficiently, the European Court of Human Rights and the European Commission of Human Rights, which was established in 1954, were merged in 1998 into a reconstituted court and enabled to hear individual cases without the prior assent of the individual's national government. Despite these changes the ECHR's backlog continued to grow, prompting the adoption in 2010 of additional streamlining measures, which included prohibiting the court from hearing individual cases in which the applicant has not suffered a "significant disadvantage." The court's decisions are binding on all signatories.

Thank you so much for all of your posts. All I can say for all the frustrated people out there (I was definitely one of them) is keep trying. It is so worth it when it finally works!
I realize that this post was made sometime ago, but I, for one, am beyond delighted to've found this blog. I've been having all sorts of unhappiness trying to get my Cricut to interface correctly with my computer. Sure hope this fix works!
I am trying and i'm trying but i can't do anything! I want to use ccr but it's impossible. my pc cannot detect my cricut expression 2. i put the usb cord in every port on my pc but nothing. i've tried to download cricut sync but i have the following message "no device attached". I'm so disappointed.
Could you try running Cricut Sync with your E2 powered off. When you get the message that the Cricut device is not attached select Help, Expression 2 Troubleshooting. Select Yes, No, No, No. If you want to try the Format & Restore select Yes.
If you're not comfortable doing that I'd suggest you give customer service a call so they can help troubleshoot the problem for you.
When I try to use the craft rm a message comes up that says I can only have 2 computers connected.....well, I am on one of them. So what do I need to do to make the craft rm work. I have searched on the cricut pg but can't find a thing. If anyone knows the answer please email me at amiller5@shentel.net thank you!
My issue is that every time I connect my expression 2 to my computer it acts like if I am unplugging it and plugging it back in every 5 seconds. I tried the troubleshoot and it said it had no issues. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm having the same issue...wish I had an answer for you. If I figure it out I'll let you know.
Same issue too! :o( I rebooted my E2 installed all the drivers and NOTHING!!!
I tried doing this and my computer still won't connect to my cricut expressions! HELP!!!
Does anyone know if you upgraded to Windows 10, if Cricut Craft Room will still work? I can enter my email address/password and it gets hung-up and won't load/open. The only problem I can think of is it is not compatible with Windows 10. Anyone have this problem?
Yes @michele. Same problem here! Anyone find a workaround?
Thank you as this is all still helping. Now I just have to find why when I hit cut, the usb symbol shows on my E2 screen but nothing happens.
Oh my gosh, I am very hopeful to find this blog.
I have an expression 2 that I have never been able to use. The screen is so whacked out. If I want to tap on an icon with the stylus, ie the LOAD button, I have to search 1/4" away from the button to find the spot that works. I have no idea where the sweet spots for the other icons are, that's as far as I can get. I've contacted CRICUT HELP many times over the years, and in the last few days they have told me to delete everything Cricut off my pc and download everything new. Nothing will download! Urgh. I spend $ on this thing and I have never ever used it. Very frustrating. BTW, when I connect the e2 to my PC the label comes up as (TM) (COM06). ANYONE WITH ANY IDEAS?
My computer is bugging me to upgrade to Windows 10. I can find instructions for cricut design space with the upgrade but nothing for the craftroom. I want to make sure they will both work before upgrading.
Expression 2 will not connect to my MacBook somI bought a PC. Still same issues. E2 will not connect, help,says I need to update firmware. Can't update because of connect issue. No real help at all. Anyone have any ideas?
I've just updated my XP pc to a laptop running windows 10. I have a copy of design studio. I did eventually manage to get it install and registered again. I went through the whole update firmware and manged to create a design but it wouldn't cut and then repeatedly told me to update the firmware. I did this process about 10 times before I gave up. Can anyone suggest what I've missed/ done wrong or am I just suffering from non compatible software. By the way my cricut is one of the original Cricut machines so not an up to date one.
When I get to the trouble shoot part it says "USB serial doesn't have a driver" what do I do?
I had this issue a few months ago. Contacted online support and they walked me through. worked fine............now it won't work again. I have messed around for hours today and no luck. So aggravating!!!! Will be contacting Customer support again tomorrow. That is the best suggestion I have. Feeling your pain, fellow crafters!!!!
@Cape, Can you share what was done to resolve?
We did and it is not working. I am not sure what to do.
I was on the chat with a Cricut tech person for over an hour! His suggestion is to uninstall Adobe Air and reinstall an older setting: 21.0.0.215 in your programs. I did this 3 times, uninstalled and installed CraftRoom and nothing works. It is as if the Cricut is not communicating with Windows 10. I am using it on my old Vista pro desktop and it works, but I really would love to use my laptop as I can move it around, make my objects and plug it into the Cricut to cut. Well, I believe Provocraft KNOWS about the incompatibility of the Cricut with Windows 10. Why not just tell people? I am saving to get a Sillouette and hope it works with Windows 10!
Ok well having the same problem, it doesnt detect my cricut expression 2 from the design room for me to cut an image.. so I am trying the restore.. how long will this take?? an what do I need to do after?
I just want to thank you for this post. I spent 1 hour on chat with a rep from Cricut, trying to get my cricut setup to no avail. By the grace of God I stumble upon this post, within 5 mins after following the instructions given. I'm up and running. Can't wait to play with this new machine.
Okay,I bought the older cricket personal cutting machine to try out with my girls. I have Windows 10 on my computer and I can pull it up under USB but my computer isn't recognizing it by name nor will it open it or connect to it.. help! I'm about to throw it in the trash..

Enterprise 2.0: Rethinking Customer Relationship Management
Author and consultant Paul Greenberg urges companies to find ways to engage with their customers.
Businesses that are unwilling to acknowledge the significance of the social computing revolution are "stupid."
So says Paul Greenberg, author of CRM at the Speed of Light and the president of the 56 Group, a consultancy. Speaking at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference on Wednesday, Greenberg did not mince words. The convergence of communication technology and social networking has changed the way that companies relate to customers and customers relate to companies, he insists.
This is not a new trend. It's been accelerating since 2002 or 2003, Greenberg argues. "It's a communications revolution," he said. "This is a social transformation that has impacted businesses."
For Greenberg, customer relationship management, or CRM, has become customer partnership management. The change in the way people communicate, now heavily reliant on social networking tools, demands a new approach to the way businesses interact with customers.
"The customer now controls the business eco-system," he said. "The customer is now in command of the conversations going on out there. ...The customer can impact your brand, positively or negatively, without your permission. They're operating and communicating in channels that you don't own."
CRM is no longer just a model for managing customers but one for fostering customer engagement, says Greenberg.
Engagement, as described by Greenberg, means listening to customers and allowing them to participate in the product design process. Great customer experiences historically involved a seamless enterprise value chain that functioned efficiently. Nowadays, he says, it's a different story. It's about looking at customers as partners.
As an example of the way businesses should operate, Greenberg points to consumer goods giant Proctor & Gamble, which has used feedback from social community Vocalpoint to reengineer its supply chain and solicits product innovation through its Connect + Develop portal.
"We're looking at something dramatic here," concluded Greenberg. "The opportunity is gigantic. Ignore it at your own risk."

This quote poster features the Chinese proverb "To know the road ahead, ask those coming back". If you want to try something in life but you don't what it's going to be like, it's a great idea to ask someone who has already taken that path!


PinnacleHealth needed a new hospital STAT! This team delivered it in two years, start to finish.
PinnacleHealth, a nonprofit healthcare provider based in Harrisburg, Pa., wanted to expand inpatient care by adding a new hospital to its Cumberland campus on the west side of the Susquehanna River, in Mechanicsburg.
The hospital, Stantec (architect), and Quandel Construction Group (design-builder) partnered to deliver a five-story, 108-bed hospital with an 18-bay ED, a 12-bed ICU, seven operating rooms, three cardiac catheterization labs, a radiology department, a pharmacy, and a laboratory, all on a 24-month schedule.
The team used virtual collaboration to mitigate in-field coordination conflicts, improve the schedule, and control costs. Collaboration between the steel fabricators and precasters led to the development of a more intricate slab edge, providing adjustability and net savings.
With a mandate from PinnacleHealth's executive leadership to streamline, the team solidified the building departmental block plans and footprint in four weeks. Schematic plans were approved by hospital department heads and vice presidents in six weeks. Detailed requirements were approved in 12 weeks. Groundbreaking took place five months after the start of the design process.
Building information modeling helped the team create trade take-off sheets just weeks into the project. This allowed for much faster validation of the project approach and budget with information that would normally be unavailable until the design development stage.
Prefabrication and preassembly of systems resulted in numerous efficiencies. More than 200 pieces of precast concrete in three different finishes were delivered just 11 months after the award date. A prefabricated tunnel connecting the hospital to the central utility plant was installed to house the facility's mechanical/electrical systems. The use of mockups and prefabricated headwalls accelerated the completion of the patient rooms.
Early occupancy of the central utility plant allowed sufficient time to condition and commission the finished hospital as construction came to a close.
Lean objectives propelled the team to keep the building form simple and to focus on delivery of inpatient services.
The team completed West Shore Hospital in May 2014, two years and a day after the award of the project, and under budget. The hospital led to the creation of 400 permanent jobs in Mechanicsburg while extending PinnacleHealth's services to patients living on the west side of the Susquehanna.
PinnacleHealth's new 108-bed, 188,000-sf West Shore Hospital provides acute care, surgical, cardiology, orthopedic, and stroke care services, and chronic disease management to patients on the west side of the Susquehanna River in Mechanicsburg, Pa. Stantec (architect) and Quandel Construction Group (design-builder) led the team.

This is the third in a series of three articles devoted to First Aid tips specific to motorcyclists. MMM writer Catten Ely has been an EMT since 1997 and is certified as an ASMI lead instructor.
In the last few issues of MMM, I covered what should be in your motorcycle first aid kit and the basic dos and don'ts at a crash scene where someone has taken a tumble. Let's talk about what to do if it's YOU.
The principles are the same as treating someone else, but it's much harder to objectively assess your own injuries.
You don't want to lie exposed on the road any longer than necessary. And you don't want to cause more damage to yourself. Do a quick inventory before you try to get up. Toes work? Fingers work? Anything numb or especially painful? Road rash hurts like a bear and can distract you from worse injuries. The most common serious injuries motorcyclists experience are to the head, neck, back and chest, so pay close attention to these areas.
You planned ahead and have your cell phone on you, not in your tank bag, right? Call 9-1-1. This might seem unnecessary. However, if you have an internal injury or closed head wound, it's a very bad idea to climb on your bike and continue your journey. Be smart and let a medic check you out.
Your first concern will probably be whether your bike is okay. Call for help first, then survey the damage.
Let's say your injuries don't prevent you from grabbing your first aid kit and getting to a safe place. If possible, rinse a wound with clean water before bandaging it. If it's bleeding freely, put a sterile gauze pad on it and apply direct pressure. Add more gauze on top as needed – don't remove the initial layers. When bleeding is controlled, use a bandage to hold the gauze in place. This is where tape or vet wrap comes in handy; be sure not to wrap anything too tightly. If your nail beds turn white or your extremities start tingling, you need to loosen something pronto.
It may be difficult to tell a broken bone from a sprain. Both hurt something fierce and swell. Remove rings, watches, boots, or tight clothing. Elevate the area if possible and apply ice or a cold pack while you wait for help. Immobilize the limb if you can. Splints can be made from a variety of things, from small branches to rolled-up magazines. I've fashioned a makeshift sling using a T-shirt and a bungee cord.
Treat burns by rinsing or immersing the area in cool (not cold) water. Don't use ice or ointments. Cover the area with a loosely applied sterile gauze bandage — avoid putting pressure on the burn.
Seek help ASAP for deep cuts or scrapes, puncture wounds, injuries that don't stop bleeding after 10 minutes of pressure, or signs of infection: red, very painful, swollen, doesn't stop draining, and accompanied by a fever. Know when your last tetanus shot was.
This abbreviated advice is intended to get you thinking about what you'd do in an emergency. Always have a plan … and a backup plan. I hope you never need to use them.

T he effectiveness of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for advanced carotid stenosis has been established in many large studies. Various surgical instruments for CEA are being used, including standard retractors. 3 , 6 In a conventional CEA, after skin incision a Weitlaner retractor is applied to hold the skin edges. The retractor is placed progressively deeper into the operative field as neck dissection continues, especially on the lateral side. A second retractor, such as a hinged Richards device, together with hooks, are sometimes placed deeply to retain

I n 1967, American neurological surgery assumed an active role in the development of voluntary consensus standards for neurosurgical materials and devices. These endeavors, in conjunction with the various neurosurgical and other specialty societies, the established national and international standards writing societies and their coordinating bodies, the Food and Drug Administration, and many other organizations and agencies, have led neurosurgeons into a bewildering array of names and abbreviations, at times only remotely related to the practice of

T he clinical usefulness of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has spawned a number of innovative devices and techniques. These devices measure ICP by means of sensors or transducers that are either implanted in the skull or connected to an intraventricular catheter. The calibrated output of the sensors is displayed as an electronic waveform on an oscilloscope. 1–4 These devices are properly referred to as monitors since they have no intrinsic regulating function. We are describing a device (invented by B.D.W.) that enables pressure monitoring as well as

"Or not" doesn't really seem to be needed to complement "whether". Why do people use it then? Is it redundancy and nothing more? Or is it for emphasis? Or are there cases when "or not" is required for the sentence to be grammatical?
The addition of the "or not" is neither logically nor grammatically required. I think it's often used conversationally for emphasis. I definitely wouldn't use it in writing myself.

Save the date for Donegal Camino 2023
written by Rachel McLaughlin December 6, 2022
The Donegal Camino is set to return for a third year in 2023.
The week-long fundraising walk is fast becoming one of the most popular walks in Ireland and since its foundation in 2020 it has generated €76,500 for Cancer Care West Services in Donegal.
The second Donegal Camino raised €50,500 for Cancer Care West services in Donegal.
The 2023 dates are the 3rd to the 9th of September 2023 and details of the route, walks and fundraising plans will be announced in the New Year.
The Donegal Camino is the vision of Carndonagh native Peggy Stringer who's now Dublin based and an active member of the Donegal Association Dublin. Peggy came together with her friends, Donegal Person of the Year, Noel Cunningham and former owner of Harvey's Point, Deirdre McGlone to create the 7 day hike from Inishowen to Slieve Liag Cliffs just over 2 years ago.
On average 65 walkers joined the walk daily from all across Donegal and the North West along with walkers from Dublin, the Midlands, Clare, Galway and of course Northern Ireland. This year also saw walkers from Scotland and North America which highlights its growth. They each had their personal Camino wishes and challenges to undertake over the 7 days while the burning desires of all was to raise money for Cancer Care West in Donegal and experience the unique camaraderie and hospitality of the Donegal Camino.
Guided by Donegal's John Mc Groary of John's Walking Ireland and his team of guides Joe Coyle, Denis Sheridan and Michael Devaney, the 2022 Donegal Camino was also supported by many of Donegal's high profile personalities who took to the highways and bi-ways of their beloved Donegal with vigour. They included singer Mickey Joe Harte who entertained everyone along the Rosguill Peninsula. The Inspiring Guide Dog owner Jennifer Doherty from Buncrana also joined this year's Donegal Camino while adventurer Jason Black joined the climb of Muckish and shared valuable safety tips from his worldwide adventures with walkers. Altan's Mairead Ní Mhaonaigh enchanted all on Gabhla island. The late Fr Quinn from Donegal Town was remembered throughout the week for his walking ambitions and the trails he followed. While Donegal's strong Celtic Connection with Scotland was also visible on this year Donegal Camino with musicians Seamus O Sullivan and Kieran Hepburn from Glasgow travelling to entertain walkers for the latter half of the week.
"We were blessed with brilliant weather and a wonderful group of walkers from all over Ireland this year, which yet again gives me such encouragement and excitement for the future of the Donegal Camino," says Peggy Stringer, founder and visionary of the Donegal Camino. She went on to say, "This was originally a simple idea I had to raise funds for Cancer Care West in my beloved Donegal as a close friend was suffering because of the scourge of cancer. Coming together with Noel and Deirdre has brought the Donegal Camino to potentially be Ireland's number 1 walking event in the very near future."
Former owner of Harvey's Point, Deirdre McGlone says, "Donegal has the most beautiful scenery, the best walking and I've always known we have the warmest welcome for our visitors to the Northwest. The combination of these ingredients along with our fantastic hospitality sector has once again shown the beauty and brilliance of Donegal. The Donegal Camino is putting our county on the map for first class walking and hiking and this year saw walkers join us from Milwaukee in the US which is hugely encouraging".
Richard Flaherty CEO of Cancer Care West, walked with the 2022 Donegal Camino and thanked the organisers for their huge efforts in creating such a successful and unique walking event and for the generous donation. "We are beyond grateful for this magnificent donation of €50,500 from the Donegal Camino. In 2021 the Cancer Support Centre in Letterkenny provided support to over 250 people affected by cancer. All services are provided free of charge and we rely completely on fundraising and voluntary contributions to run the centre. This sizeable donation from the Donegal Camino will certainly bring much comfort to many of Donegal's cancer patients and their families in the year ahead."
The Cancer Care West Support Centre in Letterkenny offers a range of services including Oncology advice & information, individual counselling, Reflexology & Manual Lymphatic drainage. The centre operates on both a drop-in basis and also an appointment basis.
The organisers of the Donegal Camino are extremely grateful to all those who participated in this years walk making it such a success. Sincere gratitude and appreciation is also expressed to those who volunteered of their time, made donations along with the wonderful partners who supported the successful walk including Gallagher's Bakehouse, Harvey's Point, Vodafone Donegal, Kieran and Jacinta Kelly, Sliabh Liag Distillers and Dúlamán, Mulroy Bay Gin and Póitín, Donegal Airport and state agencies Údarás na Gaeltachta and Fáilte Ireland. Gratitude is also expressed to Carndonagh Brass Band, Lorna Henry and the Inishowen Honora Choir and the Mc Nelis Cunningham School of Dancing's Cian Mc Ginley, Ciara Mc Kelvey and Ellie Campbell and artist Sinead Smyth who will compete in the World Championships in Canada in 2023.
Such is the support and enthusiasm for the Donegal Camino, that the committee are already hard at work planning the 2023 event which will take place from the 3rd to the 9th of September 2023. The Donegal Camino organising committee includes Peggy Stringer, founder and visionary and owner of Monkstown Skincare Clinic, Donegal Person of the Year, Noel Cunningham, Deirdre McGlone owner of Le Moulin Sur Celé in France and former owner of Harvey's Point and Noreen D'Arcy, D'Arcy Marketing & PR, Galway who's strong Donegal Connections.

Q: Ignore RProfile when running R CMD batch on windows I want to create bat files which will run R scripts on coworkers' computers, to test them I wish to bypass my RProfile.
I'm using the following code :
"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.3.1\bin\R.exe" --vanilla CMD BATCH "mypath\myscript.R"

I expected that  --vanilla would make it ignore the RProfile, however, I see in the myscript.Rout file created by the script some custom output which indicates that it went through it.
How can I run this R script in a clean session ?

A: You put the option in the wrong place.  It goes after BATCH:
"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.3.1\bin\R.exe" CMD BATCH --vanilla "mypath\myscript.R"

See the help page ?BATCH or at the command line R CMD BATCH --help for more details and options.

Monsanto v Schmeiser Does Not Indicate SCC Departure From Existing Precedents: But-For Causation Still Required for Contributory Infringement
August 18, 2012 in Infringement, IP, Patents1by Editor
In Nycomed Canada Inc. v Teva Canada Limited 2012 FCA 195 (Noël, JA), the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) considered whether the Federal Court erred in rejecting Nycomed's counterclaim for induced infringement. The FCA upheld the lower court's decision affirming that but-for causation must be established in order to successfully claim contributory infringement.
In addition, the FCA considered whether the SCC decision in Monsanto Canada Inc v Schmeiser indicated that the SCC intended to move away from the Inducement Test set out more recently in Weatherford Canada Ltd v Corlac Inc. On this issue, the FCA held that the SCC did not intend to move away from established precedents on contributory infringement.
Nycomed's '748 patent claims a combination of (1) a benzimidazole derivative that has an inhibitory effect on gastric acid secretion with (2) a heliobacter inhibiting antimicrobial agent. Apotex and Novopharm sell generic pantoprazole that falls within the scope of element (1) of the '748 patent. Since Apotex and Novopharm do not sell a heliobacter inhibiting anti-microbial agent in combination with pantoprazole, they are not directly infringing the'748 patent. However, pharmacists and physicians do sell these agents in combination with generic pantoprazole. Thus, Nycomed sought to claim that the generics' sale of pantoprazole to physicians and pharmacists constituted contributory infringement of the '748 patent.
The argument put forward by Nycomed was that pharmacists and physicians who dispense or prescribe pantoprazole together with a heliobacter inhibiting anti-microbial agent are the direct infringers and the generics have "…contributed to the infringing activities of these third parties through its product monograph, website and its marketing strategies to physicians and pharmacists".
The general rule for infringement in Canadian common law (set out in Beloit Canada Ltd v Valmet O) states that selling an article which does not itself infringe a patent does not constitute infringement unless the vendor knowingly and for his own ends and benefit, induces or procures the purchaser to infringe the patent.
The test for inducement requires that:
(1) The act of infringement must have been completed by the direct infringer;
(2) The completion of the acts of infringement must be influenced by the acts of the alleged inducer to the point that, without the influence, direct infringement would not take place and;
(3) The inducer must know that this influence will result in the completion of the act of infringement.
The sale of pantoprazole in combination with a particular type of heliobacter inhibiting antimicrobial agent is a common treatment for a particular class of gastrointestinal disorders. Therefore, it was very unlikely that Nycomed would be able to establish that physicians would not have prescribed pantoprazole together with an anti-microbial agent but for the acts of the generic company. Nycomed attempted to circumvent the second requirement of the test by alleging that the generics were liable for contributory infringement "distinct from the 'but for' allegation of inducement". This was soundly rejected by the trial court and upheld by the FCA. The court ruled that but-for causation must be established in order to demonstrate inducement.
Nycomed's further argument that the SCC decision in Monsanto Canada Inc v Schmeiser signaled a fundamental departure from the well established Inducement Test was also soundly rejected by both the trial court and the FCA.

Q: Android - (Sqlite) How to know my current table primary key i am trying to retrieve my current table id (primary key), but my primary key is autoincremental, how can i know what is the value of id now? Is there any code to retrieve the id? If there is any, can you please provide me some example? Because i am really new to android. >< Thanks.

A: When you insert a row in SQLite Database, it returns the row ID. Have a look at the documentation here
Hope this helps.. :)
Example:
long rowId = database.insert(MYTABLE, null, mContentValues);

Now you have the rowId.. :)

A: select id from table desc limit 1
this query will return the recently inserted row id.

Emily took the bag with the lace curtains over to Laura and asked her to take them out. Laura took them out and Emily tried to put them on Laura. Kate decided this was a very good game and joined in too. Kate tried to put the lace curtains on Emily and both of them burst into a fit of giggles. They had great fun playing peep-a-boo together. As the girls had so much fun we plan to take the parachute out and play Peep-a-Boo with the rest of the children in the outdoor area. Emily's Dad thought that was a great idea.
A conversation around treasure emerged recently in Crawford Childcare and the children were curious to know what a treasure hunt was. Sinead drew some coins on paper and the children painted and then laminated them. They then got a scissors and cut their money out. Sinead hid the coins all over the hike area, in trees, under rocks and in the grass. The children ran around searching for coins and gathered as many as they could find before they counted out their treasure. Emma's Mum said she loved treasure hunts.
Last week some of the children were collecting branches from the Christmas tree and they glued them in their special books. This week as there were still some branches left Steffi set up a table with branches, paper and paint and let the children create their own art work. As the children saw the table being set up they were curious to see what Steffi was doing. They quickly sat around the table and took a branch and dipped it in paint but two children decided to use their fingers instead. After a while, seeing their friends using the branches they started to use them too! Liam's painting was still wet when he showed it to his Mum so she suggested he put it in his special book when it dried.

Q: Handling month and sum in SQL Server 2008 I have a table with 3 columns: ID, AmountCollected, Date. I need to build a stored procedure that returns me data like this.
Month--CollectionSum
Jan2011|500
Feb2011|549
Mar2011|678
............

Jan 2011's Collection Sum should be the Sum of AmountCollected with dates of Jan2011 or before, Similarly Feb2011's Collection Sum should be the Sum of AmountCollected with dates of Feb2011 or before and so on....
Can you help me out on this? I need to build the query on SQL Server 2008.

A: WITH T AS (
    SELECT SUM(AmountCollected) AS SubTotal, YEAR([Date]) AS Y, MONTH([Date]) AS M,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY YEAR([Date]), MONTH([Date])) AS OrderID
    FROM TestTable
    GROUP BY YEAR([Date]), MONTH([Date])
)
SELECT Y, M, SubTotal,
 (SELECT SUM(T.SubTotal) FROM T WHERE OrderID <= A.OrderID) AS RunningTotal
FROM T AS A
ORDER BY Y, M

Here's another version without using sub-query, which should make it faster:
WITH T AS (
    SELECT SUM(AmountCollected) AS SubTotal, YEAR([Date]) AS Y, MONTH([Date]) AS M,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY YEAR([Date]), MONTH([Date])) AS OrderID
    FROM TestTable
    GROUP BY YEAR([Date]), MONTH([Date])
)
SELECT A.Y, A.M, A.SubTotal, A.SubTotal + ISNULL(B.SubTotal, 0) AS RunningTotal
FROM T AS A
LEFT JOIN T AS B ON A.OrderID = B.OrderID + 1
ORDER BY A.Y, A.M

The RunninigTotal field adds current row's SubTotal with previous row's SubTotal. By not using another SUM to calculate the RunningTotal, you improve speed by avoiding each row having to add the values of all previous rows.

A: Here's an example you can modify to fit your needs:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic460765-338-1.aspx
The key to the running total is creating a statement that joins the table to an expression that groups on the date.  But instead of saying table.date = groupeddata.date, you say table.date <= groupeddata.date in order to pick up not just the current date, but all previous dates as well.  Anyway, it will make more sense when you read the answer in the link.

A: First create the regular monthwise sum table. Join two instances of this table with conditions to match each row of first table with rows from other table containing amount for this and all previous months. Finally group by the months.
with SumTbl (YrMon, SumAmt) as
(
   select Year(dte)*100+Month(dte), sum(amount)
   from Tbl
   group by Year(dte)*100+Month(dte)
)
select t1.YrMon, sum (t2.SumAmt) as CumAmt
from SumTb1 t1, SumTbl t2
where t2.YrMon <= t1.YrMon
group by t1.YrMon
order by t1.YrMon;


Joe from BustedCoverage.com and I spoke to newest chocolate milk pitchman and NBA All-Star Klay Thompson. Klay was a great sport and laughed at all of our stupid assertions about how chocolate milk will make us better 3-point shooters, better with the ladies, and overall better men. But the high point of the interview ( 2:52 ) was my willingness to roll the dice and engage the NBA's most deadly shooter with the best hipster joke you've never heard in your life – the thumbnail image is his actual candid reaction, completely unencumbered.

Q: Compare elements in lists on 1 column rows and assign unique values in new column, Pandas I would like to compare elements in lists in 1 column and assign unique values that are on no other row in new column in the same Pandas df:
Int.:
data = {'object_1':[1, 3, 4, 5, 77],
'object_2':[1, 5, 100, 3, 4],
"object_3": [1, 3, 4, 5, 5],
"object_4": [1, 3, 5, 47, 48]}

Out.:
data = {'object_1':[1, 3, 4, 5, 77],
'object_2':[1, 5, 100, 3, 4],
"object_3": [1, 3, 4, 5, 5],
"object_4": [1, 3, 5, 47, 48],
"unique_values": [[77], [100], [None], [47,48]],
}

Thanks.

A: You can use isin and stack:
data['unique_values'] = ([df.loc[~df[col].isin(df.set_index(col).stack()), col].tolist()
                   for col in df.columns])

data:
{'object_1': [1, 3, 4, 5, 77],
 'object_2': [1, 5, 100, 3, 4],
 'object_3': [1, 3, 4, 5, 5],
 'object_4': [1, 3, 5, 47, 48],
 'unique_values': [[77], [100], [], [47, 48]]}

A: Here is a way using drop_duplicates()
df.stack().drop_duplicates(keep=False).groupby(level=1).agg(list).to_dict()

Output:
{'object_1': [77], 'object_2': [100], 'object_4': [47, 48]}
