I get positively excited when market sentiment turns negative. Although it takes a toll on my portfolio in the short-term, it provides opportunities that increase the chances of portfolio success in the future.
One such opportunity I have begun to nibble on is King Digital Entertainment (KING), maker of Candy Crush and other games for mobile phones and social networks. The company has a P/E in the mid-single digit range, along with a cash position representing about one quarter of the company's market cap.
The reason for the market's pessimism is that the company's major hit, the aforementioned Candy Crush, appears to have peaked in terms of revenue; and when it comes to fads, what goes up comes down hard. I don't dispute that Candy Crush may be on the decline, but it looks to me like the company has a formula that will allow it to continue to capitalize on this gaming platform for years to come.
While Candy Crush is on the decline, the company's other games grew revenue sequentially by almost 20% to a $1 billion annual run-rate last quarter. (The company's enterprise value is less than $3 billion.) The company always has a few games in the top-grossing games list, suggesting they have a repeatable process that effectively monetizes games.
I downloaded and played a few games, and as a non-gamer, here's what I found. The games are somewhat addictive, and not overly-promotional in terms of generating revenue. I was surprised not to have been hit up for money after playing quite a few rounds. But here's how they do it: when you have put in a lot of work at getting through a level and just fail by a little bit, it can be disheartening to start from the beginning. One way they capitalize off of this feeling is by letting you drop $1 in order to have a shot at completing the level without starting from scratch. Only 5% of players end up as paying customers, but obviously this was enough to generate over $2 billion in revenue over the last 12 months.
I am also pleasantly surprised by the company's shareholder-friendliness and risk aversion. As a recent IPO (though now 50% lower than its IPO price) and as a tech company, I'd expect insiders to be throwing the company's new-found cash around, buying up companies in only loosely-related industries as far as the eye can see. Not so here.
Consider the structure of the company's only purchase so far, which was of another gaming company: "Total consideration for the acquisition consists of a $6 million upfront cash payment and up to $84 million of contingent consideration based upon criteria linked to revenues from games developed." The company's cash balance is over $800 million; in other words, it doesn't need to structure its deals like this, but it does so anyway. That's the kind of capital allocation I appreciate as a shareholder.
Perhaps it is the company's majority ownership (80% of shares are currently closely held, with a voluntarily-delayed lockup now scheduled to expire in about 5 months) that causes this aversion to risk. I have no problem with that, as it appears these managers are more likely to think like owners. The company also recently paid a special dividend of $200 million.
Management's philosophy towards its operations is also something I really like. The company talks a lot about testing, and touts its variable cost structure, claiming only 10% of revenue is spoken for by fixed costs. Even marketing is something that is scaled up and down and across media strictly by ROI; I wish more companies I own did this.
Finally, the company also has a tax advantage (corporate tax rate of 12.5%!) as it is domiciled in Ireland.
I wouldn't mind if this one fell further so I could pick up some more.
I'm trying to wrap my head around Zynga's declining prospects and how King is better positioned? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Zynga has never been this good at monetizing. It's possible it's just luck - I can't say for sure. But at the current earnings/cash flow multiple of KING, one is not paying much to find out.
I was listening to the recent Facebook conference call, where they mention that Desktop gaming revenues are down and this is expected to continue declining as users migrate to mobile. Do you see this affecting King's revenues in a significant way? Was King's mobile business driven by popularity on Facebook, such that a going forward, declines in desktop social network gaming could impact their competitive prospects?
I'm trying to understand the underlying drivers of their initial popularity, competitive edge, and how the changing usage patterns may impact their ability to differentiate in the future.
I think King is a very interesting investment candidate, hence my pondering. Your informed insights would be helpful.
My understanding is that most of KING's revenue already comes from mobile. Nevertheless, I think you are implying that the source of the games' virality comes from desktop Facebook? You could be right. But I don't know why mobile Facebook couldn't also contribute to the games' virality in the same way if it's not already.
My understanding was that King's big kickoff was on Facebook's desktop gaming platform. Facebook mobile does not seem to provide platform gaming or direct broadcasts on a user's achievements in a particular game, I believe, and newsfeed needs to be updated with permission from within the game. As a result, this free marketing appears less likely. If so, this could reduce the virality, unless users take it upon themselves to permit broadcasting from KING's mobile game to Facebook's newsfeed.
If you (or an experienced gamer reading this) knows more about how this works, please let me know if I'm mistaken.

Ban Client Code

Ban Client Code

Sometimes clients are just annoying and you want your hosts to be able to ban players from joining the server for a given amount of time (or what could be forever). To do this you need to use the reference to your server's NetWorker.

// The amount of time in minutes that we want to ban the player
int minutesToBan = 60;  // 1 hour

// Consider the player you want to disconnect is the targetPlayer object
// We will want to get the players network id as we are going to do a generic ban
// Note:  If you have the network id from the RPC or any other messaging you can ban from there
ulong playerId = targetPlayer.NetworkId;

// Consider that serverNetworker is the server's networker (this can be NetworkManager.Instance.Networker)
((IServer)serverNetworker).BanPlayer(playerId, minutesToBan)

We have developed a vast, macabre bureaucracy to answer the question of why we die.
It starts with a dead body, as so many mysteries do. A middle-aged man is found unconscious and rushed to a hospital. For four days, he lingers in a coma; on the fifth, he dies. The clues are few and dark and point in different directions. The man was a drug addict. He was diabetic. Some of his family members say that he acted strangely the last time they saw him conscious. Others disagree. The lab tests are inconclusive. Everything is inconclusive. If this were a mystery of the Conan Doyle kind, there would be a detective, and there would be a solution. In the event, there is neither. Instead, there is a young doctor, in her first year on the job, and there is a single piece of paper: a death certificate, on which she is meant to record, precisely and for posterity, why this person died.
Not every mystery involves a dead body, but every dead body is a mystery. Death is an assassin with infinite aliases, and the question of what kills us is tremendously complex. It is also tremendously labile. We ask it with clinical curiosity and keen it in private grief; we pose it rhetorically and inquire specifically; we address it to everyone from physicians to philosophers to priests. It is as bare as bone and as reverberant as bell metal: Why do we die?
For millennia, our answers to that question were sharply constrained. Lacking any real understanding of the physiological causes of death, we pointed instead to the entities we knew could make things happen: conscious (or putatively conscious) agents. Sometimes that agent was us. We killed one another, obviously; we hexed one another, allegedly; we brought about mortality in general—from Prometheus to Eve, through hubris and through sin. Alternatively, sometimes the agent was death itself. Many early cosmologies include a Grim Reaper, give or take a costume change: Thanatos in Greek mythology, the Hindu Yama, the Angel of Death in the Bible. As a rule, these were agents in the other sense as well: mere instruments of a higher power. For most of history, no matter how we died, we did so at the bidding of God or of the gods.
A correlative of all this agency was passivity. If an omnipotent being wants to kill you, there's not much you can do about it except beg for mercy—a popular strategy even today. Only after we started looking to the physical world to determine why we die did premodern fatalism begin to fade. Sentient agents yielded to disease agents, divine intercession to medical intervention. Today, "Why do we die?" is one of the fundamental questions of epidemiology, and we have developed a vast and macabre bureaucracy to answer it.
The atomic unit of that bureaucracy is the death certificate. Of all the ways we have ever devised to grapple with our mortality, it is the strangest, least elegiac, and by far the most ambitious. It emerged by an accident of history and evolved to serve two different masters. In part, it is a public-health measure—though even the doctors who deal with death certificates often forget that, regarding them instead as one more piece of paperwork. In part, it is a form of personal identification: the saddest of diplomas, the most mysterious of passports.
And, in part, it is a clue. Of the roughly fifty million people who will die this year, approximately half will get a death certificate. That figure includes every fatality in every developed nation on earth: man, woman, child, infant. The other half, death's dark matter, expire in the world's poorest places, which lack the medical and bureaucratic infrastructures for end-of-life documentation. Yet, even with so many people unaccounted for, this number represents the spread of a remarkable idea: that death should be accounted for—that by documenting every single decedent and every possible cause we can solve its mystery.
The antecedent of the modern death certificate emerged in early-sixteenth-century England, in a form known as a Bill of Mortality. The antecedent of the Bill of Mortality does not exist. No earlier civilization we know of kept systematic track of its dead: not ancient Egyptians, for all their elaborate funerary customs; not the Greeks; not the Romans, those otherwise assiduous centralized bookkeepers.
Even Christianity, one of the world's most successful purveyors of ideas about death, seldom attended to the specifics of why we die. Churches did traditionally keep records of baptisms and burials—and, practically speaking, those serve as a good proxy for births and deaths. But, as a philosophical matter, they are tellingly different: the church was interested in the fate of the soul, not the body. If the goal of life is to gain access to heaven, and death is in God's hands, there's no point, and no grace, in dwelling on the particulars of how we die.
That cosmological indifference coincided with scientific ignorance. Early medicine relied more on folklore than on physiology, and its practitioners were not in the habit of examining bodies, living or dead. Well into the nineteenth century, the limits of medical knowledge were such that doctors sometimes didn't even know if someone had died, let alone how. The widespread terror of being buried alive, which today seems like a dark little wiggle of the id, once reflected a genuine possibility. In the absence of any scientific way to confirm the end of life, it sometimes happened that those consigned to coffins were only mostly dead.
Compounding all this was political irrelevance. Early states had neither the means nor the motive to track individual deaths—or, for that matter, individual anything. Low literacy rates made individual documentation on a broad scale impractical, and reigning administrative practices made it unnecessary. You don't need a tax I.D. number if taxes are levied on your entire town, and you don't need a draft card if conscription is collective. Only in exceptional cases did everyday people need to be able to identify themselves—there was, for instance, the vexing premodern problem of how to tell true messengers from false ones—and, accordingly, individual documentation was rare.
The modern death certificate owes its existence to the cosmological, scientific, and political revolutions that eventually overturned this entire world order. But its prototype emerged in response to something else: death itself, on an epic and horrifying scale. In 1347, the Black Death broke out in Europe. By 1351, a third or more of all Europeans were dead. With a huge percentage of the remaining population infectious and the rest of it terrified, the plague turned the formerly private experience of death into a matter of (extreme) public concern. Italy responded by passing the first modern quarantine laws, tracking the living. England took a different route, and began tracking the dead.
Many of history's great inventions are really great appropriations—middling ideas if used as intended, brilliant when reoriented or co-opted. In their original form, Bills of Mortality were not a particularly powerful or inspired device. But, in the hundred years after their introduction, two modifications altered both the function of the bills and the future of public health. In 1603, the bills began appearing weekly rather than episodically, and did so continuously for the next two hundred and thirty-three years. In 1629, during a lull in the plague, the court of King James I ordered parish clerks to begin listing deaths from other causes as well. The first change turned the Bills of Mortality into one of history's richest data sets. The second turned them into a global first: a state-mandated system for recording why we die.
By the time Proudhon wrote those words, the Bills of Mortality were all but extinct. A numeric tally of the anonymous dead had evolved into a list of the named dead, one person per line, and then into a dedicated form: one decedent per page. This was the death certificate, the grave end of cradle-to-grave documentation. Bureaucratically speaking, that ex-post personal identification represented the death certificate's ultimate end. But, for public-health purposes, the name of the dead didn't matter. What mattered, and what had evolved as well, was the cause of death.
who by strangling and who by stoning.
That poem nicely captures the way the premodern world parsed death: into a few coarse causes, all reducible to God's will. "And You shall apportion the destinies of all Your creatures," the poet writes.
By the time of the Bills of Mortality, the list of things we thought could kill us had expanded dramatically. Yet, reading those bills today, you could be forgiven for failing to recognize them as an advance in public health. It was possible, in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England, to die of Bleach and of Blasted, of Cramp and of Itch, of Sciatica and of Lethargy. You could be carried off by Cut of the Stone, or King's Evil, or Planet-struck, or Rising of the Lights. You could succumb to Overjoy, which sounds like a decent way to go, or be Devoured by Lice, which does not. You could die of Stopping of the Stomach, or Head-Ach, or Chin-cough, or Teeth. You could die of HorseshoeHead, though don't ask me how. You could die of being a Lunatick. You could die of, basically, death: "Suddenly"; "Killed by several Accidents"; "Found dead in the Streets." You could die of Frighted, and of Grief.
The man who asked that question was Graunt's most important successor, William Farr, one of the founders of epidemiology. In 1836, when Farr was twenty-eight, England replaced the Bills of Mortality with what would become the global prototype of a modern death-registration system, and created the General Register Office to manage it. The office opened in 1837, and Farr became its first Compiler of Abstracts.
Unlike Graunt, Farr was in the game not to keep books but to save lives, and he realized that vital statistics were the language in which public-health questions could be asked and answered—and, crucially, changed. In 1853, at the behest of the newly formed International Statistical Congress, he helped compile a comprehensive list of causes of death, for use in standardizing mortality data worldwide. The resulting classification contained a hundred and thirty-nine ways to die, divided into seven categories, from "Deaths from accident or violence" to "Deaths from old age." There were still a few ringers on this list—you could die of laryngitis, and of teething—but it was a long way from Blasted and Itch.
The definitive advance, however, came forty years later, when the classification was revised by a committee headed by the French statistician and demographer Jacques Bertillon. Bertillon doubled the categories of the earlier list from seven to fourteen, expanded causes of death from a hundred and thirty-nine to a hundred and sixty-one, and organized them, as we still do today, by anatomical systems: "Diseases of circulatory system," "Diseases of respiratory system," and so forth. The result was published in 1893, as the International List of Causes of Death.
But, even if you strip the classification of everything that can't kill you, you are left with a staggering number of things that can. The ICD-10 comes in three forest-green volumes (or as a download, or on CD-ROM), can be purchased for $562.82 through Barnes & Noble, and runs to twenty-two hundred pages. The first cause of death that it lists is A00.0, "Cholera due to Vibrio cholerae 01." The last is Y89.9, "Sequelae of unspecified external cause." Arrayed between them are more than eight thousand other officially sanctioned ways to die. Taken together, those ICD entries are used to code and standardize the causes of death on death certificates.
Contemplating all this, one suspects that we have got about as far as possible from the premodern relationship to death. A single reason for death, divine will, has mutated into ever more numerous and narrow causes; sixty-six anonymous deaths in sixteenth-century London have grown to twenty-five million death certificates per year. Yet the why of death remains elusive—practically, philosophically, above all emotionally. And, the more extensively we attempt to document it through death certificates, the stranger and more troubled that project comes to seem.
A nine-year-old is smart enough to fill out ninety per cent of a death certificate. The difficulties arise almost exclusively in the cause-of-death section, which consists of just four lines. On the first, doctors are instructed to enter the "immediate cause" of death, defined on the form as the "final disease or condition resulting in death." (If you are already pausing to consider the relationship between "immediate" and "final": let it go.) On the second line, doctors enter whatever caused the condition on the first line, and on the third line they enter whatever caused the condition on the second line. The last line is reserved for the "underlying cause of death": "the disease or injury that initiated the chain of morbid events that led directly and inevitably to death." It is this line that will get turned into an ICD code and identified as the thing that killed you.
Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (the underlying cause).
As that suggests, death certificates, again like tax returns, do not always scrupulously reflect the truth. From the beginning, they have been compromised both by the limits of medical knowledge and by dodgy reporting practices. In 1662, John Graunt complained that syphilis was underreported as a cause of death because medical investigators failed to recognize it "after the mist of a Cup of Ale, and the bribe of a two-grout fee." Similar treatment befell other causes of death viewed as morally damning or unmentionable in polite company: tuberculosis, breast cancer, alcoholism, AIDS, suicide. To protect the reputations of the deceased and the sensibilities of survivors, doctors sometimes upgraded those socially awkward deaths to more acceptable ones—issuing, in essence, vanity death certificates. That practice was sufficiently common in nineteen-thirties New York that the city began issuing a confidential medical report of death: a second, separate document stating the real cause of death.
The practice of bowdlerizing death certificates has faded (although not disappeared), but other reporting problems persist. In 2010, researchers from St. Luke's–Roosevelt Hospital Center and Columbia University surveyed five hundred and twenty-one doctors in thirty-eight residency programs across New York City. Only a third believed death certificates to be accurate. Nearly half reported knowingly listing an inaccurate cause of death, and that number rose to almost sixty per cent among residents with the most experience. Those who intentionally list inaccurate causes typically choose familiar ones, with the result that common causes of death appear even more common, and rare ones more rare. The Framingham Heart Study, an ongoing longitudinal study in Massachusetts, found that death certificates overstate coronary-heart disease as a cause of death by as much as twenty-four per cent in the general population and by a far greater percentage in the elderly.
The errors that creep into death certificates from inadequate training and other systemic issues are troubling. They overstate leading causes of death, obscure emerging ones, and distort the data we use to allocate funds for research, education, prevention, and treatment. But bad answers are only part of the issue. A more interesting and difficult problem is how we decide what counts as a good answer.
This is precisely the problem posed by death certificates: when filling them out, how far back should we chase the causal chain? If a stubbed toe initiates a fatal sequence of events, is it the underlying cause? Alternatively, how far forward should we chase it? If we are someday able to parse "rupture of myocardium" into its sequential parts, will it cease to be a final cause? And how many causal chains should we chase? To the annoyance of statisticians, it is perfectly possible to die of multiple causes; indeed, as more people live into extreme old age, multifactorial deaths might well become the norm. But multiple causes of death do messy things to mortality data—reporting that one person died of three causes makes it look like three hundred per cent of your population died—and death certificates are not optimized for that kind of recording.
Problems like these have troubled philosophers for centuries. It is formidably difficult to distinguish beyond doubt a cause from a non-cause, or a proximal cause from a distal cause, or which of six rock-throwing hoodlums smashed your picture window. Yet in everyday life we draw such distinctions constantly. That is not imprudent. It is expedient. Causal reasoning is motivated reasoning; we do it not to discover the fundamental make-it-happen mechanisms of the world but to achieve some ends. And that is why the stumped-toe problem matters. We identify the causes we care about—and, conversely, we care about the causes we identify.
That point has been made, and contested, many times before. In a now famous 1993 paper called "Actual Causes of Death in the United States," the epidemiologists William Foege and Michael McGinnis showed that roughly half of all deaths in the United States in 1990 could be attributed to nine factors not listed on death certificates: tobacco, diet and physical activity, alcohol, microbial agents, toxic agents, firearms, sexual behavior, motor vehicles, and illicit use of drugs. Omitting such causes mattered, they argued, because the conditions listed on death certificates get the lion's share of U.S. health-care allocations. Yet the non-listed causes might make better investments; the earlier you intervene on a causal chain the easier and cheaper the intervention tends to be. Consider the relative costs, literal and figurative, of anti-smoking campaigns versus smoking-cessation programs versus lung-cancer treatment.
Thus does the mandate of data collection—say it in one word—meet the mystery of dying. That encounter is improbable, uncomfortable, and, as exemplified by death certificates, one of the most felicitous in history. In the past two centuries, global life expectancy has more than doubled, from twenty-eight years to seventy-one. In the United States, the infant-mortality rate in 1900 hovered around one in three; today, it is barely six in a thousand. Death certificates did not bring all this about unilaterally, of course. But it is a measure of their importance that, without them, we wouldn't even know these numbers.
Still, that importance, like a life, has a limit. The C.D.C. will tell you that a death certificate, in addition to its primary functions, "provides family members closure, peace of mind, and documentation of the cause of death." But death certificates and family members are like Davidov and Rosen. Both may ask why someone died, but the causes that count as good answers are irreconcilably different. As the bereaved, we ask because we want to know if a loved one suffered or was at peace, or if her death was meaningful, or whether we could have prevented it, or how the universe could have permitted it.
On all those questions, a death certificate is mute. Instead, it provides the pathological basis of death, determined by some combination of fact, convention, and guesswork, and described in terms that most non-doctors struggle to understand. That is the kind of answer it should give; a death certificate is not Auden's elegy for Yeats, meant to both solemnize and lift our grief.
Nor is a death certificate likely to provide peace of mind in its other capacity. Among forms of personal identification, the death certificate is the one that undoes the work of all the rest, removing someone we love from Social Security rolls and voting registers and all the other ranks of the living. That process might be necessary, but it is hardly soothing. The bureaucratization of death that began with the Bills of Mortality has evolved over time into a massively complex checkpoint at the border between the living and the dead: Charon's T.S.A. At its behest, we supply death certificates to cell-phone companies to induce them to terminate contracts; to airlines to release frequent-flier miles; to Netflix, no kidding, to cancel accounts. We track down fax machines to send copies to six separate government offices, and send another to an attorney via registered mail. In short, we spend vast amounts of energy using death certificates to convince various entities of what is, to us, the most devastatingly obvious fact in the world: that someone we love is no more.

Disclosure Bill's Uncertain Future
September 22, 2008 | by Courtney Gross
Mayor Michael Bloomberg's disclosure bill went pretty much unnoticed when it was introduced in June.
A measure meant to ease financial reporting requirements for citizens who volunteer on city-affiliated nonprofits, the legislation was supposed to move smoothly from committee hearing to City Council approval so those volunteers would no longer have to fill out a weighty 32-page form.
That scenario shifted quickly last week, when good government groups lashed out against elements of the legislation that they argued weakened disclosure requirements for public officials.
Now, some involved say, their best hope is for a compromise on the less controversial elements of the bill. Others question whether the legislation will come back to the City Council at all.
The bill had been on the agenda of the Conflicts of Interest Board, the regulatory body overseeing financial disclosure -- outside of campaign finance-- in the city for more than a decade.
Weakening or Not?
Unlike other municipalities and cities in New York State, New York City has not been able to come up with its own disclosure forms since 1990. Because of this, about 8,000 public officials are subject to a 32-page state document, which requires individuals reveal investment holdings, real estate, ranges of outside income and gifts.
Earlier this year, the state legislature passed legislation requiring those who serve with city-affiliated nonprofits to also disclose some of their financial interests.
As a result, the city was given the go-ahead to create a three-tiered disclosure system, requiring an extensive form for public officials and employees; another form for those who sit on influential boards and commissions, like the Landmarks Preservation Commission; and a final one for unpaid volunteers at city-affiliated nonprofits, such as the Gracie Mansion Conservancy. The amount of information a filer would need would depend on his or her influence in city government.
The Conflicts of Interest Board drafted a bill and sent it to the City Council. Some officials, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg, expressed support for the bill, saying it would help the nonprofits attract more skilled volunteers, who might have previously declined because of the financial disclosure requirements.
"I had people that I tried to get to be on different committees and boards, and they didn't want to fill out the paperwork," said Councilmember Leroy Comrie, one of the sponsors of the bill in the City Council. "They felt like it was too intrusive."
Most agree it is unfair for unpaid members of commissions or city nonprofits to disclose the same information as the speaker of the City Council.
"If we rule out every potential conflict, then we are going to keep the best and the brightest out of government and not get their services," Bloomberg said at a seminar at New York Law School earlier this year. "So it's finding that right balance."
Balance, according to some good government groups, was not reached.
Part of the legislation -- say groups like Citizens Union, the sister organization to Gotham Gazette's publisher -- rolls back financial disclosure requirements for public officials. Under the bill, councilmembers would no longer have to disclose property they had outside of the city or the range of income they make outside of City Hall (being on the council is a part-time job, and many members make outside income).
After these groups voiced their opposition , a public hearing on the legislation was canceled and reports emerged that the administration was taking a second look at the proposal.
A spokesman for the administration said revisions to the bill are not a response to criticism from good government groups.
What is A Conflict?
Mark Davies, the executive director of the Conflicts of Interest Board, says the bill is meant to identify what really is a conflict of interest. It is far more important to know the connections than to know how much money someone made at another job, he says.
Many of the amounts currently required for disclosure have been deleted in the new bill. For instance, an official would not have to disclose the value of investments, just the names of the holdings.
"The categories or amounts, they tell you nothing," said Davies. "The connections are the critical thing for the Conflicts of Interest Board."
That is why, he added, the board added family disclosure in the bill. The legislation, as currently drafted, would require filers to identify the employers of siblings, parents and adult children in addition to their spouses.
Others argue, when it comes to an elected official, the public has a right to know how much he or she made as an attorney in Brooklyn outside of his or her district office or how the market treated him or her.
If legislation is not approved by the City Council, those civic volunteers will have to reveal far more than their name and address. They would be held to the same scrutiny elected officials currently have under the state law.
Because of that, some think the council will vote on a bill sometime soon. How far reaching that legislation will be has not yet been determined.
"My hope is that they do pass a comprehensive bill, but I wouldn't be shocked in the current climate if they settled in with dealing with the unpaid boards and commissions," said Gene Russianoff of the New York Public Interest Research Group . "There is a general agreement that people that are uncompensated should have disclosure, but not have anywhere near the 32-page form."

One of Samsung's first flagships of 2015, the Galaxy S6 edge (32GB) can now be yours for just $549.99 thanks to a deal over at eBay. This is the 32GB version of the smartphone and comes unlocked, although it's originally from AT&T.
This here is the manufacturer refurbished version of the Galaxy S6 edge, which explains the low cost of the handset. The smartphone usually retails for $650+ off contract or unlocked, so this is a decent amount of savings on a flagship level offering. And since the handset is coming directly from the manufacturer, you can be assured that it will be in brand new condition.
With Samsung looking to release the Galaxy S6 edge+ over the coming days, expect the pricing of the current Galaxy S6 flagships to come down drastically over the coming weeks. For now though, this deal on the Galaxy S6 edge is as good as you can find anywhere online. Head over to the eBay link below for more details.

"Iron Lake is where it all began, when Cork O'Connor walked off the page, tough, vulnerable, hardened and shattered, and into our lives. His creation is a brilliant achievement, and one every crime reader and writer needs to celebrate. With this novel, Kent Krueger elevated the crime fiction genre into something very special."
"For readers new to William Kent Krueger, this 20th anniversary edition of Iron Lake will be an eye-opening discovery. For those of us who have been reading his wonderful Cork O'Connor novels since their beginning, this volume will be a welcome pilgrimage to the birthplace of one of our favorite characters, a journey down Krueger's icy, mysterious and singular memory lane."
"In August 1998, the same month my own first book came out, I heard about this other debut novel called Iron Lake. I can still remember the night I stayed up late finishing it. When I closed the book, I thought two things: This is the best mystery I've read all year. And how in hell am I ever gonna keep up with this guy? Twenty years later, I'm still trying."

Hello, I have a U.S. WWII helmet that definitely comes from the city of BASTOGNE. He belonged to T.Mckenna. The latest figures from the number are 7152.
Can you help me 😦 ?
Bastogne, Belgium is the town where the US general refused to surrender to the Germans using the term "Nuts" during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944.
This is a huge info site with great photos. This is only one page there are huge amounts of other links.
I am looking for any information on 1st Lt. Charles F. Miller from Elizabeth, NJ. He flew with the 427th BS and was killed in action over Germany on 9 September 1944. He was my uncle and also my Godfather. I can be reached at gjmiii@hotmail.com, 23 Fox Hunt Road, Ringoes, NJ 08551 or at 908-782-6316. Thank you.
This is another great site which would take forever to get through.I passed it on so others could dig.
I found a bracelet- for Thomas J Gallanis, with his service number on it- looking for a descendant who would want it. It's WWII.
The next 2 live together looks like dad and son from name and age.
Civilian Occupation: Skilled mechanics and repairmen, n.e.c.
Hi Jane. I am curious. Were you able to find your father? I was going to look up information for you on a genealogy site but it looks like Barbara did that already. I hope you were able to find something.
I am looking for information on my dad, Capt. Joe V. Ryan who trained men in aerial map reading ar Ft. Sill and then was sent to an active command in Europe. All I know is that he was a Captain in the Field Artillary, he entered through Italy, ended up in Austria and stayed after the war in Vienna to work with the diplomatic corps. I do know his unit discovered a concentration camp in Austria but I don't know the name.
Looking for any information on my dad, Clarence Rube King, stationed at New Caldonea, South Pacific during the period 1940-44. He was killed in a airplane crash in 1970 when I was 22 and knew very little about his military service. Thank you.
Looking for a Joshua Geller (Geler, Gelar) likely from New York who served in WW2. His father was named Todd (Todres) He is my grandfather's cousin and they have not had contact since 1950's. Thanks.
also may be listed as Heller.
Hi. Can you email me at dogtag73@gmail.com? I might be able to help you. I'd rather not post info on a living person on the wall, though. As long as you have information on your Grandfathers date of birth and a few more details, I might have a shot at tracking him back through the Census records.
Anthony, I think I can help you. We would need to call up the library in the county where he died and see if an obit was published. If one was published, the names and locations of surviving (and even previously deceased) family members are usually included. From there, you can try using the whitepages. He died 6 years ago, so he will still be in the http://www.intellius.com database. Getting an obit may not even be necessary in order to find family members, because intellius lists likely family members in the prelim search part that doesn't cost money to use. It's hard to explain, but it involves a lot of checking and cross checking to narrow it down. He doesn't have a really common name, which makes it a lot easier, too. If you can email me, that would be best, because I don't want to post contact info for relatives on the wall, Thanks.
I think I have his grandsons information.
I'd like to thank ALL of our service men & women first of all! My father is WWII Veteran & has lost his dog tags – is it possible to replace them or do we just have to hope some honest person may someday turn them in somewhere?
First I am looking for anyone who was in, or knew someone in, the 1st Infantry 18th Division Company C. My grandfather, Clarence Henry, was in that company during the war but passed away before I was old enough to realize the significance of learning about his experiences in the war. Since his passing I have been trying to piece together as much of his time during the war as possible.
I am also looking for family of PFC. Kent Post of the USMCR's 17th AAA Bn. "C"Btry. I have photos of him during the war and have been trying to find him for 5 or so years now.
This guy's letters home and interview with lot's of company "C" info it might give you exactly where Clarence Henry went through.

Infantrymen is the emotional story of Ralph Gordon, a typical American GI serving in Germany during World War II. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ralph enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of eighteen so that he could do his part to defend his country and way of life. After eleven months of fighting in the European Theater of Operations, Ralph was one of only three men from his company to survive from D-Day through to the end of the war. Join Ralph and the men of Company "C" 18th Infantry 1st U.S. Division as they cross the English Channel to storm Omaha Beach and battle through the hedgerows during the breakout. Fight beside them as they make their way through France and Belgium on their way to Germany. Finally, share in the pain of the many losses suffered by Ralph and his friends.
Alexandria, you might want to try to order both men's military records from the National Archives and Records Administration. I can walk you through that process, because there is a certain way you have to phrase it in order to get them to release all the records. I can search ancestry for you to see if I can find Census records for Kent Post that might lead to finding out his year of birth, then his date of death, and then from there, a possible obit to find his next of kin. Census records are great, because if he had siblings, that gives us another avenue to research if we run into a dead end. However, it would be helpful to know the circumstances of how you got the picture. For instance, if you bought it at an estate sale or found it in a thrift store, I'd probably begin looking for a Kent Post in the State/Area you got it from to try to narrow it down. Can you email me, please and provide me with more information? bluenoser provided great info on how you can research your grandfather's unit further, so I have nothing to add to that part of the research.
I found this. One thing that could really make this easy for you is to have your aunt call up the Veterans Administration and ask them if they can tell you his unit. The information above and his serial number should be sufficient. If you tell them that you are trying to locate his unit so you can do further research, they may be willing or able to give you that info. That might be the quickest route for you.
Was he a member of his local American Legion or VFW post? If so, they might have something about his unit in their records, or his VFW or Legion buddies might remember him talking about it. The Aleutian Islands in Alaska were a pivotal battleground during the war. Once you find out his unit, it will be much easier to track things down from there.
This Kent P. Post was a PFC in WWII, just like "your" Kent Post. I also found Marine Muster Roll records for him. He might still be living. Wouldn't that be great?
Station:	Heavy Antiaircraft Group; 17Th Antiairchaft Bk., Corps Artillery, V Ac, In The Field Artillery (17th AAA) They served in the South Pacific.
So, now we have confirmation that we've found the man you are looking for. Now it's time to find his family. Please email me and I'll send you potential contact info.
I used http://www.intellius.com to find out names of his relatives, since I found no listing for him. Using that information, I found his son. I am positive it's his son, and he is most likely living with either his son or his daughter, because I find no listing for him, but also found no Social Security Death Index. Living with a relative would explain the lack of a phone number in his name. I don't want to post his son's contact info here, (due to privacy concerns) though, so please email me and I'll send it to you privately. I hope this has a happy ending. It's really nice of you to want to return this picture to his family. I'm sure it will mean the world to them.
I am so sorry it took me so long to see these I did not get any update for this site via email and had gotten rather side tracked with nursing school I would love any more help you could provide.
I also found his obituary on ancestry.com which lists even more relatives. He was a very active man in the American Legion and VFW and it seems like he was also interested in genealogy, as well, specifically, his ancestors who had served in the American Revolution. I'm sure it will be very comforting to his family to have a precious photograph of their father's returned to them.
Thank you so much for all of the help. I actually did find his obit back in May but with little other than the obit info I was holding on to a little hope that it might not be him. I think I may have found his son but would love any contact info you scrounged up because as of yet I have had no response from him.
I am looking for anyone who may have known my father Eddie Corcoran. He was stationed in Watton England during the war, I think he had a friend named Don Reynolds while there. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

D. Hodge, I'm sorry for your recent loss. My own mother also passed away recently. I might be able to help you locate a relative. Can you please email me and I'll see what I can do?
Sorry, forgot to put in my email. dogtag73@gmail.com Just to be clear, I don't charge a fee for research. I've helped people return a lot of tags and I have a pretty good method now for finding family members that works at least 90% of the time, so I might be able to help you find his family.
My father, 1st Lt. Charles A. Vetter, service #O-381939, was in the Army cavalry in WW II. He survived the war, to be killed in mysterious circumstances in Occupied Japan on April 20, 1947; he was born on April 20, 1918 in Queens, NY. All I have been able to find is an interment record, in which he is listed as being in the Ordnance Dept.
Thank you so much. My father was the first Charles A. Vetter in your list; he was born in 1918. I wonder if the other Charles A. Vetter was a cousin; they both were born and lived in Queens.
Last residence was Lake Wales, FL.

Thank you very much for the information. It is possible to know what unit he belonged to? Is he still alive?
I really thank you for your research. Waiting for your news.
THANK YOU for your motivation.
Did you find his family, yet? I might be able to help locate a relative, if you still need it. You are trying to return it to family members, right?
You can call up the Delaware County, New Jersey Public Library and give them his name and date of death. 1 September 1994 is his Date of Death. They can check for you to see if an obit was published. If one was published, it may have the names and locations of his surviving family members. From there, go to the whitepages.com site and you might be able to find them. His kids would most likely be in their late 50's, 60's, or maybe even early 70's, so that can help narrow it down for you if you get a lot of results. Also, if husband and wife are listed in the obituary, pay attention to the "Associated/Family Members" section below the listing on http://www.whitepages.com and see if any of the names from the obit show up together. That will give you a clue to make sure you are on the right track. If you need more help after that, you can email me and I'll see if I can find contact info for you. dogtag73@gmail.com. No fee for research.
Hi Jerry. With the help of the enlistment record you have his date of birth. I can go to ancestry.com and see if he is still alive. If he has passed away and I can find his Social Security Death Index, you can try to get his obit. I don't charge a fee for research and would love to help you return this dog tag and badge to his family. My email is dogtag73@gmail.com. I don't want to post family contact info publicly, so if you email me, I'll see what I can do to help you. I commend you for wanting to return these items.
I am looking for information to contact his family (wife, children maybe?). I would like to let them know I found something that belonged to their father/husband/grandfather that he lost during WW2, defending our freedom. If you can help me, in any way, please contact me.
Hi I looked at white pages and there is no surnames for Theiss.
Hi Jody. Thanks to bluenoser, we know his date of death now. You can get an obit from the library, if one were published. Obituaries are extremely valuable because they usually list the names and locations of family members. In his case, he died a long time ago, so the locations for family members in the obit might be incorrect. In that case, there are other ways to find out where they are living now. If you can't get an obit, there are other ways to find his family by using old Census Records from the 20's, 30's and 40's to find possible siblings and more information. Sometimes it can be a complicated process, but usually eventually yields results. No fee for research and I'm happy to help since you want to give back the item to his family. That's really nice of you! dogtags73@gmail.com Once again, thanks to the makers of this page for providing such a valuable resource for others to get help and information.
oops. correction dogtag73@gmail.com is the correct email.

i am looking for information on my grand father (stanton mead porter) for my aunt (her dad). he served in wwll. we dont know much, we were told he was army and was told he was airborn, if anyone could help or direct me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it. D.O.B march 15, 1928.
So, he was an enlisted man in the Regular Army. Now I'm researching WWII units in Alaska that might have had an Airborne Division. I'll post whatever I find.
Thanks in part to the Internet, a long-lost dog tag belonging to a U.S. Marine who served in the Vietnam War is about to be reunited with its owner.
A photo of the tag (see above), which was found by chance two years ago by an Australian teacher visiting the site of the former U.S. military base in Khe Sanh, was posted online in the hopes that others could provide information about the Marine, identified only as Martinson, L.P., serial number 1984025, religion Lutheran.
Diligent sleuthing by an active-duty Marine named Joshua Laudermilk and others led to the discovery that the tag's original owner, former Platoon Sgt. Lanny Paul Martinson, is alive and well in Sugar Land, Texas, and thrilled at the prospect of recovering his lost tag.
The full story has yet to be told.
Definition: When found on the headstone of an individual, the abbreviation U.S.A.F. usually stands for United States Air Force. It has long been common practice for veterans and their descendants to inscribe their gravestone with the branch of military in which they served. This can provide a clue for genealogists searching for military records.
My preliminary internet search for the surname Drake and initails F.E led me to a copyright entry on p.348 in the Library of Congress catalog of copyrights with the full name Francis Edward Drake Jr, Minealpolis on Dec 14, 1936. The copyright entry has the following brief: Horse (A) on you; a satire in 1 act, by F.E Drake Jr, c 1c, Dec. 14, 1936.
Could he be the same person on the Dog Tag? I would like to hear from anyone who might know the person or his relatives?
You were pretty close in area wise. there is a great photo of him in his service uniform at this link.
DRAKE, Francis E., Jr., Pfc., USMC. Father, Mr. Francis E. Drake, Sr., 255 Mill St., Springfield.
Found a dog tag. The name is Troy, J., 241773,Type-B-, T.9/41 USMC.
Hi Joe, I have a friend who has all the records on Marine Raiders. I'll ask him to check this name and serial number against his Marine records. I will also go to ancestry.com and look for J. Troy in the Muster Rolls there. Sometimes the service numbers are in the records, allowing us to confirm first name and units he was in. Without this resource, you'd have little chance of tracking down this Marine. I do not charge a fee for helping others' return dog tags and I will only do the research if they are willing to return them, free of charge, to the veteran/family. It sounds to me as if this is what you would like to do, so I commend you for that. It really brings joy to families and veterans to have these tags returned. Please email me at dogtag73@gmail.com and I can email you the info I find on him. When/if you email me, can you please tell me the circumstances of how and where you found this tag? That can be very helpful in finding either the veteran or his family. If I find his family, I'd rather not post their contact info on a public forum, so email is best. Thank you to the creators of this page for providing a way for people to receive help in their research! .
I'm looking for any info on Edward J. Kautz (Culbertson NE) who served in the 31st Tank Bn in Africa, Rhineland, Central Europe. Born Oct 27 1905. I unable to find any burial records. He died 02/28/1968 in Sacramento CA.
i am looking for a veteran cpl Jack Green who was in the 551 saw bal south PAC.
I would like to hear from anyone who served with my uncle in WW11. He served proudly in the 3rd U.S. Army under Gen. George Patton, attached to the 4th Armored Division, 177th Field Artillery, Battery C. He was in the Battle of the Bulge, among other engagements. My uncle was Erwin Wright Stewart, from Four Oaks, North Carolina. Thank you, in advance, E. Wayne Stewart, Four Oaks, North Carolina.
Looking for a Bud Norman. Had a wife or girlfriend named Carol. I have an I.D. bracelet my Grandpa found says Bud Norman on front and Hands off he's mine Carol on the back. Would like to return it to his family.
I'm looking for all information about Lt Denny James G. serial number ASNO- 722546.
Probably a men who served in the US AIR FORCE.
Looking for information on my grandfather. All I have at this time is his name and branch he served. William Fredrick Dial USN, born in Blount County, Alabama, resided in Gadsden, Alabama.
Thanks for any info anyone may have.
I'm not sure if this may be the relative but the dad was William H Dial………and the wife name changed on the census….
I'll go check out ancestry.com and see what else I can dig up for you. Please email me so I can send you further info. It's great that you want to send this tag home to Mr. Mandish or his family.
I am looking for any and all information about my dad's army service during WWII. Vernon O. TeWinkel, born 1922 in Baldwin, WI. He would have enlisted or been drafted from Wisconsin.
Cheryl, yThanks to Chuck, you now have your father's service record, which contains valuable information in your search. He was in the National Guard. I looked up Wisconsin National Guard and found out that he would most likely have been in the 32nd Infantry Division. Hopefully you will be able to find out his exact unit by going here: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/evetrecs-help.html You have to use Internet Explorer for the system to work. You can fill out the form to the best of your ability and then print it out, SIGN it (or they won't send you anything) and then fax or mail it in. You should have a reply in about 6 weeks. There was a very large fire in 1973 that destroyed most of the Army records, so they may not be able to send you very much. However, you never know. They sent me my uncle's DSC Citation. Also, try calling up his local VFW and seeing if he was a member. They usually have a file on him that might be helpful in your research. The other thing you might try is to call up the VA and ask them if they can tell you his unit. He is deceased now, so they might be able to give you more information.
So, Don served in the South Pacific and was training in New Caledonia with his unit, most likely. Many Army units trained in New Caledonia before the second invasion of the Philippines in 1945, including my uncle's. Chances are that Don TeWinkle participated in the Philippine invasion if he was in New Caledonia. So, if you can confirm for me that your father either served in England or that the Vernon Tewinkle I found in the River Falls, Wisconsin year book listing is him, then we can begin researching units from WI that fought in England during the war. That will help narrow your research down greatly, as would any clues you can provide from what he may have told you over the years. If you have his uniforms, check his patches. You might be able to identify his unit based on the patches or maybe even from pictures of him in uniform. Ok, that's it for now. I don't charge a fee for doing this research, so if you want to email me privately at dogtags73@gmail.com, I hope I can help you further.
I cannot thank you enough for your response.
Yes, Don is my father's brother, & is still living (the last of the men of the family), in Sheboygan, WI.
So now I know more about my dad's service, & something about my uncle's which I didn't know at all. They came from a family of 9, 6 of them boys. I can't swear that they all served, but all who did survived. One uncle (Floyd) was at Pearl Harbor.
This is silly, but what got me more interested in knowing more about this is I have been watching "Band of Brothers" an HBO series about the Army's Easy Company, 101st Airborne. A lot of the places they went reminded me of my dad. He didn't talk much about it, but I knew he was in England and Holland for sure. It made me want to know more. It made the war more real to me. I'm sorry if that sounds blissfully ignorant, but I was born in 1947, so yeh, ignorant.
I am eager to explore the link you sent. The way my week is going it may be Friday before I get to it, but I've flagged your e-mail. You may hear from me again, if you're sure that's ok.
Cheryl, sorry, it was late and I messed up the email address, adding an s. The correct email is dogtag73@gmail.com. Sorry about that. Are you in touch with your Uncle Don? He might be willing to speak to you about his own service and be able to tell you where the rest of his brothers served and maybe even the units. I'll look forward to getting an email from you.
P.S. I have a couple photos of him in uniform, but don't know how to show you since your e-mail doesn't work.
Hi, I found a WW2 canteen in an antique store and on the bottom of the canteen it said the name of the person named Terry Riley. This was very intriguing, so I'd like to discover more information about this "Terry Riley" and where he served and possibly how he died, IF he died in the war. Please leave a reply.
Does the canteen have a serial number or any other identifying info on it? Can you find out from the antique store where they got it from? I can tell you that with just the name Terry Riley to go on, it will be difficult. Is it an Army canteen? Where was the antique store located? That might be helpful in finding the correct Terry Riley, but a serial number would be much more helpful.
I am looking for information on my great uncle, my grandfather, my other grandfather and my great grand uncle. My great grand uncle is Robert Martin Cuervo and he was in the US Navy and served around the time of the Korean War as did both of my grandfathers John Rogers Cuervo and Donald Lee Skiles. Finally, any information on my great grand uncle Samuel Clinton Burns POW during WWII would also be most helpful. I am much obliged.
Jul 10, 2013 – This WW2 POW or prisoner of war record for Samuel C Burns is just one of over 143,000 found in our historical archive for U.S. servicemen and civilians who were held captive by Germany or Japan during World War II. Our archived military lists include officers as well as enlisted men and women, reservists, etc. Sources of our data are government and public collections and files. We typically work with military records that are difficult and even impossible to locate without extensive knowledge of how or where to begin searching.
Can this guy be still living? If so here is how to contact him maybe he can answer some of your questions.
This is a guy over 65 living in Georagetown Ill maybe he can help.
I'm looking for more info on my great grandpa (Henry Smit) and his brother (Andrew G. Smit), both from Michigan. Andrew died in WWII when his ship was torpedoed on his way home on leave. Henry survived WWII, and died a few years ago. He was a mechanic. I can't find any info about him on the Internet. I don't know any more than that. Anything you can find would be wonderful!!!!!
Oh, Andrew did not die on the way back from the war. All we know about his death is that he was buried in Honolulu and died on November 30, 1945.
Note: Entered the service from Michigan.
Help! New post. I am seeking information on Lt. (JG) Irving Emerson Silverstein. US Naval Reserve. I believe he's buried in the Long Island National Cemetery. Believe DOB to be 3/12/20 DOD 7/8/43. I have a letter written by the father of Irving Silverstein. The father, H. J. Silverstein addressed the letter from an address on Ocean Pkwy. Brooklyn, N.Y. Unfortunately an ink blot has hidden the first few numbers of the address. I believe Irving was married. I am trying to locate any I formation about him and his family. I'm hoping there are surviving children or grandchildren I can make contact with. There is no family connection on my part. This is just a story of a young man that died near my families home in North Florida and a connection that was made as he passed away. Thank you for any help with this. I'm not a genealogist so finding information hasn't come easy. Blessings!
There is a copy of his headstone at this link.
Looking for more information on first cousin, Anthony S. Greco, MC, USA. KIA 22 June 1944 Montepescali, Italy. Appears as if friendly fire incident. Attched to 701st Tank Destroyer BN. Unit after action report of poor quality. Any ideas for other places to look/information would be appreciated. Thanks!
I found a framed Japanese flag with several signatures (no ranks) as well as "LUZON POW CAMP #1" and a black and white photo attached to the frame. The photo has two soldiers standing beside a sign that also indicates Luzon POW Camp #1. I was able to purchase the flag with the help of a friend and we are gifting it to the National Infantry Museum, Ft Benning, GA next week. I have tried to find any of the men whose names are inscribed on the flag by googling their names. I've been able to connect a few to WWII and the Phillippines. Not sure how to attach a photo here? The name in the center of the flag is "Harold Herd" "The Great" and the date written is October 4, 1945. We know the camp was liberated 30 Jan 45 so the date discrepancy is curious. We do not doubt the authenticity of the artifact. I simply wish I could trace it to someone. I'm sure the NIM will work diligently to do so.
Found a Basic Field Manual for First Aid for Soldiers, April 7, 1943. Has a name printed on it…Pvt. Quention Z Johnson………….Would like to find him or relatives .

Q: Query working in mySql and not working in Oracle Below is the query which is working in MySQL and not working in Oracle.
Here I need to get the latest Date and corresponding event from table r
 for every ID in Table a . ID is unique.

 SELECT a.name , a.spids , a.group , a.id , r.date,r.event  FROM a
    LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT id, MAX(date) AS latest FROM r  GROUP BY id ) AS rev
        ON rev.id = a.id
    LEFT OUTER JOIN r  ON r.id = rev.id
       AND r.date = rev.latest
     group by a.id order by ID;
    ---------------------------------------------
    *The error in Oracle is "Not a group by function"
    I read several blogs about group by function and every where they are saying to use an aggregate funciton like sum , min,max. I tried but not able to get the results*
    -----------------------
    Table a ( It has other column - group also)
    -----------------------

   ID  Name   Spids

A: Your select is:
select a.name , a.spids , a.group , a.id , r.date, r.event

Your group by is:
 group by a.id

These are incompatible -- what are the values of all the other columns in the select apart from a.id.  That MySQL supports this is a (mis)feature of the database, not supported by almost any other database.
The most typical solution is to fix these so they are compatible:
select a.name, a.spids, a.group, a.id, max(r.date), max(r.event)

Your group by is:
 group by a.name , a.spids , a.group , a.id

In your case, the group by is probably not needed at all:
SELECT a.name, a.spids, a.group, a.id, r.date, r.event
FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN
     (SELECT id, MAX(date) AS latest
      FROM r
      GROUP BY id
     ) rev
     ON rev.id = a.id LEFT JOIN
     r
     ON r.id = rev.id  AND r.date = rev.latest
ORDER BY ID;

You only need it if there are multiple rows with the same max date.
The most common solution in Oracle fixes this problem:
SELECT a.name, a.spids, a.group, a.id, r.date, r.event
FROM a LEFT JOIN
     (SELECT r.*,
             ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY r.id ORDER BY r.date DESC) as seqnum
      FROM r
     ) rev
     ON rev.id = a.id AND seqnum = 1
ORDER BY ID;

A: When you are doing a group by, you are aggregating the results, so the select should consider only aggregated columns, which is a.id and calls to aggregate functions in this case. Since a.id is a primary key in this specific example, your other columns of a can be used in the select clause in MySQL, quite logically, if you ask me. However, a column of r in such a group by is dangerous in terms of potential to err in MySQL as well, unless there is a single r the most for any record of a. You can solve this by listing all the non-aggregate columns used in the select clause into the group by clause.

Child and Elder Abuse Reporting in Oregon (Audio Only)
Andria Seo
Faith Morse
$ 59 Family & Matrimonial and Elder In Stock
Time 1h 3m
Topics covered in this course: Family & Matrimonial Elder
Child abuse is one of the most troubling problems plaguing our society today. A significant number of children are physically, sexually and mentally abused every year. Recognizing that attorneys are some of the most likely professionals to come into contact with victims or perpetrators of child abuse, and that attorneys hold a place of respect and trust in our society, attorneys in Oregon are mandatory child abuse reporters. The Oregon State Bar requires attorneys to complete regular training in child abuse reporting as a part of their continuing legal education requirements. Andria Seo, of Crew Janci LLP in Portland, Oregon, will lead you through the first part of this program, covering mandatory child abuse reporting laws applicable to Oregon attorneys.
The second section of this course, led by attorney Faith Morse, covers the basic reporting requirements for elder abuse for attorneys under Oregon law. Elder abuse includes physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse, as well as exploitation, neglect, and abandonment. Perpetrators can include other family members and staff at nursing homes, assisted living, and other facilities. Morse will address the circumstances under which reporting is required, and exceptions to the reporting rules.
Recognize the importance of mandatory reporting
Define "mandatory reporting" law
Identify "mandatory reporters" under Oregon law as well as what and how they must report
Procedurally understand the handling of a report of suspected child abuse
What qualifies as a contact under the reporting rules
Definitions of "reasonable cause" and "abuse"
Exceptions to the reporting requirement
How to properly report elder abuse
Andria Seo is a graduate of the New York University School of Law. During law school, she worked with the National Center for Youth Law, the Legal Aid Society, and the NYCLU. Prior to joining the team at Crew Janci LLP, Andria advocated for vulnerable children and their families as a staff attorney at Partnership for Children's Rights, a nonprofit based in New York City. Andria also previously worked assisting in the representation of victims of a terrorist attack in civil suits.

She received the National Association of Women Lawyers Outstanding Law Graduate Award and the Bruce Spaulding Memorial Award for Trial Advocacy. During law school, Faith served as Editor-in-Chief of Willamette Law Online, Executive Editor of the Willamette Journal of International Law and Dispute Resolution, was a member of the Pro Bono Honors Society, a volunteer for the Willamette University Public Interest Law Project, and served in various positions in other extra-curricular groups. Faith's interest in serving people and justice led her to practice with Kelly L. Andersen, P.C.
Faith is a member of the Oregon State Bar Association, the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association, the American Inns of Court, the American Association for Justice, and the Jackson County Bar Association. In 2017 and 2018 she received the Oregon Super Lawyer Rising Star Award.
During law school, Faith worked one-on-one with struggling students to help teach them legal writing and research methods. She worked on plaintiff-side issues in worker's compensation and social security disability by helping research, develop and edit briefs for filing in an administrative forum, in the U.S. Federal District Court, and in the Oregon Court of Appeals. She worked as a legal intern in the International Human Rights Clinic on a report on Oregon's infrastructure response to human trafficking published in June 2010. She worked with a team for End Child Prostitution and Trafficking (ECPAT) in New York to analyze the laws regarding child prostitution in all 50 states. She also helped prepare draft rules and commentary for the Committee to Review the Oregon Judicial Code.
In addition to her law degree, Faith earned a Master's Degree in Business Administration (MBA). While studying for her MBA, she was named a Willamette MBA Scholar, received the Exceptional Performance Award for Integrated Knowledge Evaluation Week, and won the Fitzhenry Joint Degree Scholar Award.
From a young age, Faith has been involved in community service. From volunteering with programs to serve the homeless, to working with young children at her church, Faith has always enjoyed helping others. The same passion and drive that sent her to Mexico to build houses for homeless families led her to law school. She continues volunteering for community groups and is involved in many activities, including organizing and hosting events raising awareness about human trafficking in Oregon. Faith continues seeking out opportunities to serve in the community and enjoys volunteering.
