Nando Caporicci attended Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the early 1990s. He graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science. He followed that with a remote study program at the City University of Seattle Washington, United States of America. In 1998, he graduated with his Masters in Business Administration (MBA) with a marketing focus while working as a bookkeeper at an accounting firm.
His first marketing position led him to the solar panel company, ICP Global as their online marketer. He focused on direct and internet marketing, and with those newly acquired skills, he was able to make an impact on the fledgling website. From there, he moved to RoadMall.com, an online shopping portal where he was responsible for the inter marketing aspect. Here, Nando Caporicci developed and honed the skills that would benefit him in the years to come.
Starting at an early age, Nando longed to own something of his own. His first step into his own company was a partnership that did not turn out as he wanted it to. It taught him valuable lessons which he applied to his next company as a computer service technician. Nando Caporicci built this business one customer at a time, servicing their business computer systems and maintaining networks on site. While he worked in this business, he learned about Bitcoin and saw an opportunity, not only for himself but for others as well. He took the time to talk to his customers about this new opportunity and through a partnership with each client, he has been able to build an income for himself and his clients through Bitcoin mining. Nando Caporicci found his calling helping others build a Bitcoin mining business.
When he isn't building rigs and partnerships, he's spending time with his children and keeping active. He enjoys exercising, reading, and meditating. As Nando Caporicci continues to develop his business, he also continues to improve himself.
Growing up, I found myself attracted to the freedom that independent business owners have. The opportunity to set your own schedule and live your life while building a business is something that can't be replaced. Owning your own business is not just about the money you make, but the creative outlet for something that's yours. I've been reading business magazines since I was a teen.
As to getting into Bitcoin, that was a different thing. I started reading about this blockchain technology and all of the crypto-currencies. As Bitcoin continued to increase in value, the opportunity became clear. It took some time, but once I convinced my first client to become a partner, it was uphill from there. While it can be nerve-wracking to be on the ground floor of a new opportunity, it is also exhilarating.
I build and maintain the rigs, which are sold to my clients at or just scantily above wholesale. From there, I manage the mining accounts and take a small fraction of the profits as a commission. When the client or I choose to cash out, we split my portion off, and they get the rest.
You can think of it like a slot machine. When you put money into the slot machine, there's a chance of winning. When a winner is selected the house takes so much, and the winner gets the rest.
I believe it took me about two years to become profitable with the Bitcoin mining company. My partners saw results quickly.
When things began, not everyone knew about Bitcoin or how the mining process actually worked. Initially, I not only had to teach them about the new blockchain technology and associated Bitcoin currency, but I had to pitch the opportunity as well. That took time. As I got better at doing this, more people came on board. Eventually, I was able to build to the point where the result was one and eight contacts would jump on the opportunity.
I saw blockchain as the game changer it is and that made it easy to stay the course until I reached the point I'm at now.
Some years before, I began working with a transport company handling their computers. When I was ready with the opportunity, I collected the materials I had at the time and approached the owner of the company. He had enough room in his office to handle a mining rig. As we spoke, I was able to help him see where the opportunity was a sound investment and to this day he continues to reinvest his profits from the partnership in new mining rigs.
The best opportunities for growth have been through a couple of free portals, Craigslist.org and Kijiji.ca. These are classifieds sites where I can post in the financial sections. Typically, I post a simple advertisement that allows me to make contact and set up a time to enjoy a good conversation with an interested person. I have found that regardless of how the conversation ends, there is never time wasted when I'm meeting a new contact.
I have been researching diversification options. As I have been diligently doing so, I have encountered many opportunities. At this crossroads in my business, I am considering all of them carefully. Some would suggest sticking with what I know, but diversifying is an important part of any company or personal business. I am considering Shopify and their Dropshipping partners.
I would say that my persistence has been my greatest asset. It has led me to continue despite whatever obstacles surface. I believe that by learning and doing everything you can until you see results, leads you to where you want to be, and I have seen evidence of this. If I make a mistake, I don't dwell on it; I learn from it and move forward in a better direction. Every new lesson is an opportunity to improve upon prior successes, so I don't easily get discouraged. Simply put, I never give up.
I believe my most successful moment is when I realized that I had arrived at that moment of freedom I longed for. It dawned on me when I realized that I had been volunteering at my children's school for daytime events. Not many fathers have that opportunity, but I did. It's one of those defining moments for my career and my personal life.
Experts are saying that Bitcoin will continue to increase in value. While I'm watching this, I'm also watching how countries are shifting to a crypto-currency as well. I believe, in time, everyone will be able to treat it as if they are their own bank, paying by phone or tablet without a middleman. The blockchain is the key to this.
Gary Halbert created the Boron Letters. This book provides insights into marketing and copywriting that lay the foundation of a good marketing plan. His book teaches headings, copywriting, and ad design while sharing his own story as well. This book was written in the early 1990s, but the principles apply today.
One thing I believe all successful business people encounter is procrastination. I know I have dealt with this. Michael Angel Martin introduced me to a program – Action Enforcer – that helps you stay focused on tasks that need to be done. Using it has added hours to my day and increased my productivity at the same time.
What strategy have you found has helped open the most doors for you?
Over three years there have been many people suggesting that you gift around 10% of your profits to charity in some form. It is something I had always wanted to do and when I finally did many doors began opening up for me. You can call it a not so secret, secret. It is a good feeling to know I am helping those who need it. That good feeling carries over in all aspects of my life, and since I started doing this, I have seen further results in my business.


Learn what to expect of baby's social development in the second month, including milestones like that first smile and your first conversation.
By month two, you and your baby are settling into a routine. You might still be exhausted by the constant diaper changes and middle-of-the-night feeds, but your baby will soon reward you by showing the first glimmers of her personality -- and maybe even that first smile. This is when parenthood starts to get more fun.
What to expect: "By the age of 2 months a mother can see her baby's reactions and movements becoming less reflexive and more purposeful and directed by the environment," explains Kimberly Williams, Psy.D., a pediatric neuropsychologist in Great Neck, NY. "At this young age, babies actually start to hold eye contact and mimic their parents' facial expressions."
Progression: Your baby will start to spend more time awake, and for good reason -- she's discovering the joy of interacting with her loved ones. "Your baby may respond to your playful interactions with soft coos, blowing bubbles, squeals and gurgles," Dr. Williams says. "Your infant will then begin to show some emotions with little smiles and facial gestures. You will see your baby becoming connected to you as [she] follows your movements with [her] eyes."
How to help: "Spend lots of time talking to your baby and reading to him," recommends Anne Zachry, Ph.D., a child development specialist and author of the forthcoming book Retro Baby. "The more language [you expose your baby to] the better. Research tells us that the number of words a baby hears directly affects language development. In fact, the more words a baby hears leads to more intricate wiring in the brain and enhances learning, thinking, and creativity." At the same time, teach your baby the art of conversation by knowing when to stay quiet. "Give your baby time to respond," says Claire Lerner, LCSW-C, director of parenting resources at Zero to Three, a national nonprofit focused on infant and toddler development. "They coo, you respond with a sound, they coo back. That's how they learn about back-and-forth communication, and your response makes them want to communicate more," she explains.
Engaging in other fun activities can also boost your baby's brain development. "Cognition and awareness should be stimulated by little 'hide it and show it' games. For instance, hiding a colorful toy or puppet behind your back and then popping it out for the infant to see," Dr. Williams says. "Taking your baby on regular walks also gives [him] exposure and builds tolerance and familiarity to different sights, sounds and people to enhance social development."
When you should you worry: "Parents should keep in mind that infants reach milestones at different rates," Dr. Williams says. But you might want to talk to your pediatrician if your baby doesn't respond to loud noises or the sound of your voice, doesn't seem to notice her hands, or doesn't follow objects with his eyes -- all red flags that could affect social development, Dr. Williams says.
Don't freak out if: Baby's fussiness drives you mad. Fussiness can peak in the second month, and it's OK to put the baby down in a safe place and walk away for a few minutes.

i have tried
SELECT h.referer, COUNT(h.referer)  as hits, COUNT(l.referer)  as leads FROM `hits_log` h ,`leads_log` l
WHERE h.topic='topic0614' and h.referer=l.referer
GROUP BY h.referer

but it didn't work
can any one help me out?      Thank You.

A: You need to group each table separately in a subquery. If you do the count in the main query, you're counting the results of the cross-product, which causes multiplication.
SELECT h.referer, hits, leads
FROM (SELECT referer, COUNT(*) AS hits
      FROM hits_log
      WHERE topic = 'topic0614'
      GROUP BY referer) AS h
JOIN (SELECT referer, COUNT(*) AS leads
      FROM leads_log
      GROUP BY referer) AS l
ON h.referer = l.referer

DEMO
Maybe this is actually what you want. It restricts both hits and leads to a specific topic, and will include referers with zero count in either table.
SELECT referer, MAX(hits) AS hits, MAX(leads) AS leads
FROM (SELECT referer, COUNT(*) AS hits, 0 as leads
      FROM hits_log
      WHERE topic = 'topic0614'
      GROUP BY referer
      UNION
      SELECT referer, 0 AS hits, COUNT(*) as leads
      FROM leads_log
      WHERE topic = 'topic0614'
      GROUP BY referer) AS x
GROUP BY referer

Putting Dance Degrees To Work
Thinking Dance Meets Committed Physicality in SPRAWL
August 16, 2012 · by movementsymposium	· Bookmark the permalink.	·
This week MaryAnn McGovern and Dancers returned home to Chicago to present McGovern's SPRAWL at Hamlin Park Fieldhouse Theater (Thursday, August 16 & Friday, August 17, 7:30pm). MaryAnn, a graduate of the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago, moved to Seattle, WA last year, and continued making work on the West Coast. The first iteration of SPRAWL premiered in Chicago last summer as a part of "Fresh Dances" at Links Hall, alongside works by the Laboratory Dancers, We Stand Sideways Dance, and Emily Miller's Get Down/Pick Up Company. MaryAnn continued working with the idea behind SPRAWL once she moved to Seattle, and it eventually became the evening length work that premiered a month ago at Seattle's Velocity Dance Center.
McGovern has brought her core group of 5 dancers from Seattle, and has a community cast of 9 Chicago-based dancers.
The work itself is poignant, personal, clinical, historical, guttural, physical, and just plain smart. McGovern uses spoken text, ambient sound, live singing, and recorded speech to set the sound environment in which the dance lives. She draws upon her own personal experience, as well as that of her dancers to keep what could be a heady and intellectual work personal and relatable.
The movement ranges from subtle gesture to large, sweeping phrases of dancing, to complex partner work. Each dancer in the cast has their own way of articulating the movement, and McGovern capitalizes on this asset to create a rich sensory experience for the viewer.
MaryAnn is not one to veil content from the viewer. The way in which the space is used speaks directly to the content. The text and sound, which on more than one occasion include the title of the work, give the audience further information about McGovern's perspectives on suburban sprawl, white flight, government housing projects, and the cultural politics of living in and around cities in the US. In no way is McGovern spoon-feeding us her message, but her opinions and concerns are clear and leave us questioning our own contributions to these social phenomena.

Q: I started running at the age of 45 and trained for my first marathon three years ago. Since then I re-injured my right knee and had orthoscopic surgery. The problem was the meniecus. Since the operation I was advised to give up running in favor of swimming or biking. Here's my question. I would like to find doctor that is highly regarded for sports injuries and would appreciate any info you might have. Also, do you have any previous issues that address sports injuries related to the meniecus tissue. I have been told that I have a condition called "High Tibial Osteotomy". Is there any evidence out there that would support running again?
A: There are 2 types of cartilage in the knee - the meniscus and articular cartilage. The meniscus acts as a shock absorber in the knee; this is typically the cartilage referred to when a pro athlete has "cartilage surgery". Articular cartilage is the cartilage that lines the end of bones; it is present in all joints (like the pearly white stuff at the end of a chicken bone). This cartilage is what breaks down with arthritis.
When your surgeon performed arthroscopy, he/she evaluated all of the tissue in your knee, including the meniscus and articular cartilage. More often than not, the piece of torn meniscus is cut out and the edges smoothed. Occasionally, the meniscus tear can be repaired. Depending on how much meniscus was removed and the appearance of your articular cartilage (degree of arthritic change) impact activities, such as running may not be advisable.
A high tibial osteotomy is a procedure in which a wedge of bone is removed from the tibia (the big shin bone) to re-align the knee. The fact that this has been suggested to you indicates that you have either a knock knee or bowed knee. This may be the way you developed or may be due to an uneven break down of cartilage in the knee. If the inner (medial) aspect of the knee cartilage breaks down quicker, you become bow legged; if this occurs in the outer (lateral) aspect, you become knock kneed. This misalignment creates even greater stresses on the knee, possibly accelerating arthritic changes.
Sometimes heel wedges that are thicker on one side (depending on knee alignment) or a knee unloader brace can provide some symptomatic relief.
To help find a sports medicine doctor in Reno, contact the American Running Association - www.americanrunning.org for the names of running physicians.
In the mean time, try pool running. Continued running may worsen the condition of your knee, but if you must run, limit distance to 5 miles, run on softer surfaces (trails), maximize cushioning in your shoes and run only every other day. Even with these measures, arthritis in your knee may worsen more quickly than if you avoid running. Avoiding running will not guarantee that arthritis will not progress.
Good luck. Make sure that you see a sports physician to help you make treatment decisions.

Rapid expansion of telehealth comes with new challenges
By Linda A. Malek and Khaled MowadOct. 21, 2019
It's a boom time for telehealth. State and federal policies governing this new way to deliver medical care have helped expand access to it, while increasingly favorable regulatory changes are remaking the landscape for digital health companies hoping to revolutionize the field of medicine.
Yet this greater opportunity is accompanied by greater regulatory risk, especially with the significant state-to-state variation in laws governing telehealth and the nuanced interplay between state regulations and federal policies.
Policies around delivery, credentialing of providers, and informed consent offer insights into the complex and evolving telehealth landscape.
Challenges paying for telehealth
Telehealth has evolved dramatically from the first modality used for it — the telephone. The proliferation of new delivery methods enables providers to better tailor their care to patients' unique needs and to increase patient autonomy and control. Unfortunately, state and federal policies about reimbursing clinicians for providing care via telehealth continue to vary widely, which is inhibiting its full potential.
Let's start with traditional Medicare, because it often serves as a guide for how care is reimbursed. Traditional Medicare limits telehealth to services provided using real-time, interactive audio and video telecommunications systems. That means no store and forward technologies, such as prerecorded audio or video, email, or text messaging. Traditional Medicare also restricts the use of telehealth to rural settings, and may originate only from providers' offices and other facilities like rural health clinics or hospitals. Importantly, a patient's home does not qualify, even though this a key "facility" for most patients.
North Dakota doesn't have enough psychiatrists. Telemedicine is helping to fix that
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services finalized a rule this spring allowing Medicare Advantage plans to offer additional telehealth services as basic benefits. This so-called MA rule represents a clear move towards greater flexibility in how providers can offer telehealth benefits to beneficiaries. It permits the use of an "electronic exchange," essentially a catch-all term. Instead of providing a comprehensive list of modalities, the MA rule instead opted to provide a non-exhaustive list of examples of electronic information and telecommunications technology such as secure messaging, store and forward technologies, videoconferencing, and other Internet-enabled technologies in order to achieve flexibility in accommodating future technological advances.
State laws have uniformly moved away from restricting telehealth use to rural or underserved areas with respect to state Medicaid programs, but still limit the types of facilities that may act as originating sites, and often exclude patients' homes. In addition to defeating one of the advantages of telehealth — convenience — this restriction means that clinicians are not reimbursed for remote patient management, an increasingly important method of health care delivery that enables a provider to remotely monitor vital signs and other biomarkers such as blood sugar or weight. That's unfortunate, since many patients with chronic conditions could benefit from being monitored at home, and this particular use of telehealth is recognized as one of the most effective and cost-efficient methods of advancing patient outcomes and safety.
Interestingly, Medicare does not consider remote patient management to be a type of telehealth, and so isn't subject to originating site restrictions. Recognizing that, CMS this year finalized new reimbursement codes for remote patient monitoring.
The divergence between Medicare and state laws, which govern Medicaid, reflects how nuanced differences in defining telehealth or the ways lawmakers have accounted for various technological approaches have led to significant differences in reimbursement and access across states and payers.
Regulatory policies at the state level offer other challenges for telehealth companies. For example, 11 states specifically reimburse providers for engaging in store and forward communications. Other states either do not directly address this type of communication or specifically define telehealth and/or telemedicine as services that must be delivered in "real time."
Some states have required real-time communication to protect the integrity of the patient-doctor relationship or to help prevent misunderstandings between physicians and patients. In other states, laws affecting reimbursement by both Medicaid and private payers conceive of telehealth narrowly, making modalities like store and forward technologies and mobile health apps not reimbursable. It's likely that in some of these states the legislature did not intend to prohibit certain forms of telehealth, but instead defined it too specifically, precluding new modalities that do not technically fit the original definition.
3 things bottlenecking telehealth innovation and how to fix them
Credentialing can be problematic
The intersections of federal and state policies on telehealth amplify the complexity of this field in the context of credentialing.
Physicians and other health care practitioners must provide state medical boards, insurers, and others documentation of their education and training. This process was relatively straightforward in the pre-telehealth era, with the vast majority of clinicians seeking credentials in the state in which they live and practice. With the advent of telehealth, a physician in California can provide care for a patient in Maine.
Because provider credentialing is a state-by-state concern, it presents unique challenges in telehealth, which seeks to reduce geographic barriers to health care. At present, 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the territory of Guam have adopted the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. It streamlines the ability of physicians with a valid license in one of the compact states to perform services remotely in another compact state. Interstate licensing compacts for other provider groups, such as nurses, are also expanding among the states.
Separately, nine state medical boards permit out-of-state providers to deliver care via telemedicine in a state where he or she is not located, or allow a clinician to do that if certain conditions are met, such as agreeing not to open an office or physically practice medicine in the state. Proposed rules in other states seek to lower barriers to telehealth, but vary in their approaches. While there is a clear trend toward reducing the role of credentialing as a barrier to access, the landscape remains complex.
Under the MA Rule, a provider who treats a patient via telehealth must also allow the patient to receive the same treatment in person. But that telehealth provider might not be permitted to see the patient in his or her state of residence because the care is being provided across state lines, meaning the patient would have to see a different provider, which could be less than optimal. Outcomes such as this require careful planning to ensure that effective care can still be delivered without incurring liability for regulatory violations.
Streamlining consent procedures
Informed consent is one of the bedrocks of modern medicine. It explains the services a provider offers as well as the benefits and risks associated with treatment. In traditional face-to-face health care, patients typically sign consent agreements. Telehealth informed consent builds on the same premise, but focuses on ensuring that the patient understands not just the benefits and risks of treatment but also understands the medium through which care is provided.
State laws typically drive the requirement to obtain adequate informed consent. It is also influenced by professional guidelines and, when patients use commercial digital health platforms to access telehealth providers, the Federal Trade Commission's expectations about informed consent may also come into play.
State legislatures around the country have passed telehealth-related informed consent laws in order to balance the advantages of telehealth with concerns that its proliferation may erode the doctor-patient relationship and threaten patient privacy and quality of care. To date, nearly 40 states have informed consent requirements specifically related to telehealth in their statutes, administrative codes, or Medicaid policies. These requirements vary significantly between states: Some apply specifically to the state's Medicaid program while others apply to all telehealth services provided in the state regardless of who is paying for it. Like the MA Rule, consent requirements in a number of states also require the provider to inform patients that they may opt to receive services in person.
A number of states rely on guidelines promulgated by the American Medical Association to govern the adequacy of informed consents. The AMA's telehealth policy states that physicians have a duty to disclose any financial interests they may have in the telemedicine application they are using. The AMA's policy, which most state medical boards rely on, is likely to become of increasing importance as digital health platforms are used in more and more physician practices and settings.
Given the role that commercial digital health platforms play in telehealth, consent and transparency are key areas in which there has been significant enforcement activity by the FTC and some state attorneys general. With its authority to enforce federal law prohibiting unfair and deceptive business practices, the FTC has been highly active in ensuring that health care technology companies obtain adequate consent and provide meaningful disclosure of their business and privacy practices, especially when there is exchange of sensitive data.
Telehealth is experiencing a level of growth and penetration that will greatly transform the delivery of health care. The breadth of applications and modalities already in use, not to mention those under development, combined with a complex and sometimes confusing regulatory climate, present challenges for providers, payers, and digital health companies.
Consensus around the benefits and risks of telehealth may help unify new regulation and standards, but the path to that future isn't clear. Until then, those interested in the continued expansion of telehealth must continue balancing the numerous and overlapping approaches in state and federal laws and regulations.

How Wounded Warriors Can Overcome Barriers to Federal Jobs
The Resume Place > Blog > Federal Job Info > How Wounded Warriors Can Overcome Barriers to Federal Jobs
There are advantages for Wounded Warriors in seeking federal employment. They can use veteran's preference in hiring, and the years they accumulated in the military as well as many benefits carry over. The trick is landing the position. Recently the Resume Place, publisher of the Military to Federal Career Guide, 2nd Ed, interviewed Dennis Eley, Jr., Wounded Warrior Coordinator at the OCHR San Diego Operations Center, about the major barriers these vets face as well as the solutions.
According to the Defense Department, nearly 20,000 Americans were wounded in action in the Afghanistan War. When these injuries result in a 30% disability, service members are deemed "Wounded Warriors." These warriors, like other vets, face challenges when attempting to land federal employment. For example, as Former President George W. Bush put it at his Empowering Our Nation's Warriors summit in February, "You don't see many job postings that say, 'Wanted: Experience in hunting insurgents and terrorists… What's a veteran supposed to put down? 'My last office was a Humvee?'"
Dennis Eley, Jr., MBA is well aware of the barriers Wounded Warriors face in applying for fed positions. Since 2010, his job – as Wounded Warrior Coordinator at the OCHR San Diego Operations Center – has been to help these vets explore employment solutions in the federal government. In addition to prepping them to apply, Eley markets available Wounded Warriors to fed HR through a weekly listing. Recently he shared his job search insights with the Resume Place, publishers of the Military to Federal Career Guide, 2nd Ed and also trainers of fed job counselors. Here are the top five barriers he helps Wounded Warriors confront.
Barrier #1: Not knowing what fed job to go for.
"I see a lot of frustration," said Eley. "Many Wounded Warriors don't know how to translate their skills into an actual civil service job title." He turns them to Mil2FedJobs.com. The website crosswalks their skills with possible civil service titles, based on their Military Occupation Specialty. For instance, one Wounded Warrior received 10 possible job titles with his MOS of Rifleman. Then Eley helped him review his experience to see which jobs he would actually qualify for based on his strongest skills. They determined that Small Arms Repairer was his best target, and the man did get this position at the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar.
Barrier #2: Assuming that their military pay rate is a good guide for fed wages.
"When Wounded Warriors look at civil service job announcements, they start with jobs at the pay they made in the military," Eley noted. "That's a false assumption. Federal pay rank is based on their skill level. I've coined a term for this. I call it their 'civilian rank.'" In civilian federal employment, there are primarily two pay bands: Wage Grades (WG) for blue collar and General Schedule (GS) for white collar. In determining the Rifleman's "civilian rank" in the Wage Grades schedule, Eley read off the duties at the 08 level, and the Rifleman said that he didn't have those skills. But at the 06 level, he did. The Rifleman's resume was then tailored for the 06 level. The job series for Small Arms Repairer is WG-6610. When you type in this job series or job title into www.USAJobs.com, current openings appear for that position across the US.
Barrier #3: Not getting certifications in your targeted area.
"Certifications can definitely help them land a job," pointed out Eley. Service members may get the certification before they separate from the military or go to school afterwards to become certified in a knowledge area. Eley used Information Technology as an example. A certification in one of the IT areas tells a hiring manager that the person completed a certain number of hours of study and practice, and also passed a written test in that specialty. Other certifications include logistics or contracts. Some hires get up to two years to complete class requirements. Eley shared that there will be more emphasis on encouraging separating service members to get certifications in the future.
Barrier #4: Writing resumes too full of military jargon.
"Wounded Warriors need to understand that the military is a different culture than civil service," said Eley. "So you'll want to avoid acronyms and military jargon in your resume." To prevent this, he recommended letting your spouse or friend read the resume. If they can't understand something, then you need to break it down, and change the language. Wounded Warriors also need to realize that fed resumes are longer than private industry resumes, usually three to five pages. The Military to Federal Career Guide, 2nd Edition, is a comprehensive handbook for vets who need to write a fed resume, and it features six sample resumes and case studies.
Barrier #5: Going for money, rather than passion.
Eley was working with a Marine who wanted to go into Information Technology. He had a feeling the young man was just "chasing the dollar." He asked him about his passions and work experience. Turns out that the Wounded Warrior had a dozen years of dog training experience in the service, and it was something he enjoyed doing. He just didn't think there would be future work in it. With Eley's help, he got such a civilian position on a military base. "To me, it's better for the Wounded Warrior's happiness to go for something they really enjoy," observed Eley. "They can stay in the occupation for years to come because they have a passion for it."
The Wounded Warrior Coordinator feels blessed to be able to help these vets. His work echoes a need that retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel Justine Constantine noted at the Bush summit earlier this year. "Today's vets don't need a handout, but a hand up," Constantine said. "Some of us are facing very tough obstacles right now, but we all want to be productive members of society."

The specific features of the historical development of the Byzantine Empire, which never separated itself from the Roman Empire and was known throughout its existence as the Empire of the Romans (the name Byzantium was not coined by humanist scholars of the Renaissance era until the downfall of the state in1453), were also reflected in its coinage. The gold solidi, which remained in circulation in Byzantium till the end of the 10th century, had been introduced by Constantine the Great (307-337). The copper coins that emerged in the reign of Emperor Anastasius (491-518) were completely different from previous issues of Roman coins. For this reason, the beginning of Byzantine mintage is dated to different periods. At present it is common for museum collections to start the description of Byzantine mintage with the coins struck in the reign of Emperor Anastasius. With this criterium applied, the Hermitage collection of Byzantine coins numbers over 12 thousand items and in terms of its number and significance ranks with the world's greatest collections, such as Dumbarton Oaks in Washington (D.C.), the British Museum in London and the National Library in Paris.
In spite of the fact that Byzantine coins first entered the Imperial Hermitage as soon as the Munzkabinett was established, their assortment was for the most part random. The late 19th century was marked by a more purposeful acquisition of this part of the Hermitage collection. It was then that the collections of Photiadis Pasha and A.B. Lobanov-Rostovsky remarkable for their fullness and rare items, were purchased. The post-revolutionary years enriched the Hermitage holding of Byzantine coins with two large collections formed in Russia in the 19th and early 20th centuries respectively. Their owners – P.J. Sabatier, S.G. Stroganov and I.I. Tolstoy – had the opportunity to replenish their collections not only through hoards and archaeological finds in Russia, but also through purchasing coins at auctions.

Anatomy of Online Dating Scams – How Not to Become a Victim of Cyber-romance
Report international scams online!
How to Spot the Signs of a Romance Scammer and Report Online Dating Scams
THE RUSSIAN / UKRAINIAN DATING SCAM
Most of the defendants are Nigerians, the Associated Press reported. Attorney Nick Hanna told a news conference. Army captain in his efforts to smuggle himself and his friends out of Syria. The woman met him online and had been emailing for 10 months. There was no such army captain. Romance-related scams are now the most costly form of online fraud, the Federal Trade Commission warned earlier this year. In many of these scenarios, people are convinced by strangers they meet online — often on dating apps — to fork over money. The number of romance scams reported to the FTC increased to more than 21, in , up from 8, in In a typical scenario, a victim meets someone through a dating website or other online space.
Thanks to online dating scams, each year thousands of Americans who are searching for love end up with nothing but a broken heart and an empty wallet. While online dating and social media sites have become increasingly popular tools to find love and friendship, they've unfortunately also become popular tools for fraudsters known as romance scammers. These con artists create fake profiles to lure in victims, establish romantic relationships and eventually, extort money.
Romance scams are a type of online fraud, in which criminals pose as desirable partners on dating sites or email, win the hearts of their victims.
When they talked on the phone he would tell her about a woman he met online and occasionally sent money to. Even though her father never met the woman in person, she would profess her love for him through emails and ask him to send her money to feed her and her daughter. Angie told her father that he was being conned, but he would not listen and continued to send the woman money anyway.
It was only after Angie was given power of attorney over her father due to a massive stroke that she realized the extent of the scam. She found numerous emails from the woman asking for money, including receipts from wire transfers. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon.
Will this be you in Russia soon? Probably, no. Dating is expensive, and it gets even more expensive when the first date requires hopping on a jet and flying across the ocean.

Many Americans are turning to the internet in order to search for love. Online dating and dating apps are the new wave of the future for both younger generations and older generations alike. And sadly the surge in online dating has also created a potential for scammers to target people looking for love. When using dating apps, it is extremely easy to create fake identities using stolen images that a scammer can hide behind.
This scam can affect men and women of all ages because the scammer attempts to connect with their victims in a more personal way. Common scams these thieves use to exploit victims include asking for money for a family member with medical bills, claiming to be the victim of a robbery, or needing funds in order to meet or visit their significant other.

Her name was Alyona, a year-old blonde bombshell from St. Petersburg, with clear fair skin and penetrating gray eyes. Mark, 37, met her on the Badoo dating app last April when he was planning a short trip to Russia. Despite living in Lyon, he changed his geolocation to St. Petersburg for the purpose of getting to know some Russian women before arriving in the country. It was Alyona who sent the first message.
They exchanged messages on Badoo for a week, then switched to WhatsApp. She sent him photos of her eating pizza with friends and drinking coffee by the riverside, plus a few sofa selfies. It turned out that Alyona had never been abroad. She often mentioned how she wanted to go somewhere, but never had an opportunity—it was very expensive for Russians, she said.
The US Department of Justice DOJ on Thursday unsealed a count, page federal indictment charging 80 defendants — most of them Nigerian nationals — with conspiring to steal millions of dollars through online frauds that targeted businesses, the elderly and women. Federal authorities cited the case of one of those romance-scam victims during a news conference on Thursday.

Subscriber Account active since. Federal authorities announced Thursday that the nine defendants were arrested over two days in Florida, New York, and Texas and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection to three email-based schemes. The Department of Justice detailed in an indictment the defendants had employed a "Business Email Compromise" that contacted victims under the guise of a legitimate business transaction. Two other schemes detailed in the indictment include a "Russian Oil Scam," which offered victims the chance to invest in oil stored in Russian oil tank farms with an up-front wire transfer, and a "Romance Scam" that involved the perpetrators "sending email messages and text messages The types of scams detailed by federal officials in this case are versions of some of the most common imposter scams conducted online for profit.
A webpage for Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody details several types of false identities and relationships that potential scammers use to reach out to their victims. Among the most common approaches include scammers posing as a charity over email or in person, love interests on dating sites or social media, and federal authorities demanding payment for missing jury duty, withholding tax money, or evading arrest.
Anyone who believes they may be a victim of an imposter scam can file complaints with appropriate state agencies.
They are used to bilk unsuspecting people, or to gain information or power. With the rise of the Internet, these scams have become more prevalent, especially since scammers can send out millions of emails, casting a wide net in hopes of hooking a handful of people. Phishing is by far the most common, and potentially the most dangerous scam.

The embrace of online dating services, such as dating apps or virtual places to meet people, is a phenomenon that has occurred worldwide. There are dozens of dating apps available; some operate globally, while others only work in some countries that have greater acceptance of them. But without a doubt, two of the most popular applications among the extensive great offerings that exist are Tinder and Happn , which claim more than 50 million users each.
Although they come in different flavors, in most cases the criminals committing romance scams study the profiles of their victims and collect personal information, such as their work activity, their level of income, and their lifestyle, because the mismanagement of our personal information in the digital age allows a criminal to build a fairly detailed profile of a future victim.
One of the most common methods is the scammer who emotionally manipulates the victim to send them money, gifts or personal information. Another type of common deception is sextortion, which usually begins as a normal relationship between two people who begin to know each other until the scammer tries to take the conversation off the dating platform, such as, for example, to WhatsApp. Last month, for example, in the United States a man who was the victim of this type of scam — he related an attack strategy similar to that in a case reported in Chile in — after having met the person through an online dating site and gained his trust, the scammer requested the sending of intimate photos.
The victim was informed that it was a hoax after he had contacted the police. A case in Spain occupied the headlines of several media outlets when a man nicknamed the King of Tinder, was arrested in Soon after establishing a relationship, the miscreant, who claimed to also be from Canada, began asking for financial help to solve various non-existent problems that the scammer invented. Latin America is no stranger to such scams; in , the Argentine media published a scam using Tinder.

Nowadays, having a well laid out social media strategy is key to really dominating the marketplace. Being able to find the best social media strategy and execute it is necessary to really compete with today's highly social and digital consumer. Below, we will be going over some of the top ways to figure out what social media strategy to go with.
The key to understanding what strategy to go with comes down to knowing your market. To do so, you will need to research your target market to find the right strategy to implement. You want to figure out who your target market is and what kind of social media audience you have. You want to figure out where your target audience is gathering. While a majority of adults utilize a social media like Facebook, that doesn't mean they actively engage on the platform. You want to figure out what age group is most likely to buy your product or service and figure out what platform you can engage with them the best on. By doing this, you should be able to figure out what platform(s) to focus on the most when you are coming up with a social media marketing plan.
2. Analyze Your Platforms and Accounts.
Another important thing that you will want to do when it comes to getting the most out of your social media efforts would be to analyze your various platforms and accounts. You want to identify what platforms are doing the best and what is working on the respective platforms. Believe it or not, but some advertising efforts and some engagement efforts might be extremely effective on one platform and completely fall flat of expectations on another. Thus, you need to keep track of your metrics to figure out what works and what doesn't work on the various platforms to optimize your strategies and efforts.
If you really want to dominate the marketplace, you want to keep a close eye on your competition. By actively keeping tabs on your competition, you should be able to figure out what they are focusing most of their attention on, what might be working for them, and what might not be working. Doing this can really put you at a competitive advantage because it will allow you to make your own investment decisions with regards to your own social media marketing and advertising efforts. Along with this, it can help you keep pace with your biggest competitors which should allow you to boost your efforts in the end. Having close tabs on your competition can really allow you to get the best results from your entire marketing mix as a whole.
4. Figuring Out Your Budget.
While social media marketing can be cost effective, it can also be extremely expensive depending on what you are doing. Therefore, you will need to come up with a budget that you can afford to work with. By doing this, you should be able to figure out the best way to approach advertising and marketing with the various platforms because you will know exactly how much money you have to allocate to your efforts on the respective platforms. If you have a lot of money to work with, you might invest more into paid advertising on the various platforms. Whereas, if you are running on a shoe-string budget, you are less likely to engage in paid advertising.
Overall, figuring out what social media marketing strategy to implement all comes down to who you are targeting, what your competition is doing, and what kind of budget you have to work with.

First Alien Moon Outside The Solar System Located Circling A Jupiter-Sized Exoplanet
By Lester Mondragon
Aug 06, 2017 08:59 AM EDT
The solar system's largest moon, Ganymede, is captured here alongside the planet Jupiter. Ganymede is larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto and Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Both Ganymede and Titan have greater surface area than the entire Eurasian continent on our planet.

Exomoons are planetary bodies detected outside the solar system. There are several moons discovered orbiting other planets, but none of them had evidence of their existence. The location of one such Neptune-sized exomoon has supporting data and substantial proof that it is orbiting a planet comparable the size of Jupiter.
Scientists identified the first exomoon
Signals first detected by the NASA Kepler Space Telescope launched back in 2009. A group of scientists led by David Kipping found the first exomoon circling an exoplanet called the Kepler-1625 from an estimated distance of 4,000 light years away. Kipping's team identified the exoplanet by observing the dimming of the stars when they pass between the earth and the planet. The same method applies for exomoon detections.
The presence of an exomoon could also be a realization how moons formation in the alien world and its orbit around the huge exoplanet. Coauthor Alex Teachey, a graduate student at Columbia University, states that they want to confirm the detection first with the Hubble Space Telescope if the signal stands before they can claim such discovery. The Hubble confirmation will be in October 2017, reports National Geographic.
Kepler Space Telescope's detection of other alien worlds
Before the detection of signals from the exomoon orbiting the exoplanet, Kepler had found over 2,000 alien worlds and about 4,000 candidate exoplanets. In the month of June 2017, the space based observatory found an additional 219 exoplanets with possibilities of having earth like environment which is habitable for the human race.
If the confirmation holds with the Hubble Space Observatory, The exomoon could be bigger than Ganymede, Jupiter's moon. Astronomers support their observations as the alien planet had been monitored to pass by from the earth's point of view and the Kepler-1625b. The alien moon dipped in brightness every time it moves by these focal points, reports Mail Online.
As of now, the exomoon and its orbited exoplanet are just candidates for the discovery. The Hubble Space Telescope will make or break the detection of the alien moon and its exoplanet.

Home/Legislative Advocacy /New bill would align U.S. policy with the pro-settlement Israeli right
A new bill introduced in the U.S. Senate threatens to reverse longstanding US policy towards U.S. settlements, undermining possibilities for peace in the region.
New bill would align U.S. policy with the pro-settlement Israeli right
Jewish Voice for Peace 04 February 2016	Legislative Advocacy/Press Release/Statement
February 5, 2016–A new bill introduced in the U.S. Senate threatens to reverse longstanding US policy towards U.S. settlements, undermining possibilities for peace in the region.
Following allegations of mis-labeling settlement products produced in occupied Palestinian territory as coming from Israel, U.S. Customs re-issued a guidance on Jan. 23, 2016 stating that, according to a 1995 law, "It is not acceptable to mark [goods produced in the West Bank or Gaza Strip] with the words 'Israel,' 'Made in Israel,' 'Occupied Territories-Israel,' or any variation thereof." In response, U.S. Senator Tom Cotton introduced a bill co-sponsored by Senators Rubio, Cruz and Gardner to undo this existing regulation and to allow products produced in Israeli settlements to be labeled as "Made in Israel."
Rabbi Joseph Berman, Jewish Voice for Peace Government Affairs Liaison:
"We look forward to the enforcement of existing US Customs regulations. This is a good first step, but simply labeling goods produced in the West Bank is not enough. U.S. policy should be moving in the direction of applying real political and economic pressure on Israel to halt settlement expansion and end its nearly 50 year occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. This bill, which is part of a trend of legislation intended to extend U.S. protection to Israeli settlements, flies in the face of longstanding U.S. policy which views the settlements as illegal. Senator Cotton's bill threatens to reverse this policy, and to align the U.S. government with the most extreme elements of the current Israeli government that seek the most amount of land with the fewest Palestinians."
A groundbreaking report released last month by Human Rights Watch asserts that "Businesses should stop operating in, financing, servicing, or trading with Israeli settlements in order to comply with their human rights responsibilities." The report, entitled "Occupation Inc: How Settlement Businesses Contribute to Israel's Violations of Palestinian Rights," explains how businesses that operate in the occupied West Bank are complicit with Israel's violations of international law and human rights abuses.
The Human Rights Watch report also makes clear that third-party states have a duty "not to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories." This includes "requiring exporters to accurately label goods produced in settlements as such."
Enforcing US customs guidelines that bar products made in illegal Israeli settlements from being labeled "made in Israel" is a welcome first step towards upholding US and international law, but it is not enough. Economic pressure is a necessary next step towards halting settlement expansion and ending the occupation.

Q: Query by user, by month including a default value for not existing records Ok, my title looks a little bit weird but I could find a better way to title my question.
My current SQL statement looks like this:
SELECT
    ActionBy,
    DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, ActionCreateDate), 0) AS 'dateStart',
    CONVERT(CHAR(3), (DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, ActionCreateDate), 0)), 100)  AS 'Month' ,
    YEAR(ActionCreateDate) AS 'YEAR',
    SUM([TimeTakenToComplete]) AS TOTAL
FROM
    [myTable]
WHERE
    [TimeTakenToComplete] IS NOT NULL
    AND DeleteDate IS NULL
    AND ActionBy IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
    ActionBy, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, ActionCreateDate), 0),
    YEAR(ActionCreateDate)
ORDER BY
    DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, ActionCreateDate), 0) ASC

The end result looks something like this:
user1 , 2013-06-01 00:00:00.000 , Jun , 2013 , 1000
user2 , 2013-06-01 00:00:00.000 , Jun , 2013 , 998
user3 , 2013-06-01 00:00:00.000 , Jun , 2013 , 600
user1 , 2013-07-01 00:00:00.000 , Jul , 2013 , 1110
user3 , 2013-07-01 00:00:00.000 , Jul , 2013 , 2330

My problem is that I want to have a record for all users, for all months with a default value of 0.
So my desired result would look something like this:
user1 , 2013-06-01 00:00:00.000 , Jun , 2013 , 1000
user2 , 2013-06-01 00:00:00.000 , Jun , 2013 , 998
user3 , 2013-06-01 00:00:00.000 , Jun , 2013 , 600
user1 , 2013-07-01 00:00:00.000 , Jul , 2013 , 1110
user2 , 2013-07-01 00:00:00.000 , Jul , 2013 , 0
user3 , 2013-07-01 00:00:00.000 , Jul , 2013 , 2330

Is there any way that I can achieve this result or should I go and solve this issue programmatically?

A: actually I was waiting for @Hamlet's solution..
but here is what I have in mind (I haven't tried to run it)..
and if there isn't any data in a month of any user, there will be no data at all (for that particular month)..
SELECT a.username,
    b.dateStart,
    b.Month ,
    b.YEAR,
    ISNULL(result.TOTAL,0)
FROM
(SELECT username FROM tableUser) a CROSS JOIN
(SELECT DISTINCT dateStart, CONVERT(CHAR(3), dateStart, 100)  AS 'Month', 'YEAR' FROM result) b
LEFT JOIN result
ON a.username=result.ActionBy AND b.dateStart=result.dateStart

note: I called the table from your original query as result, and in your original query, you can just have this selection:
SELECT
    ActionBy,
    DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, ActionCreateDate), 0) AS 'dateStart',
    YEAR(ActionCreateDate) AS 'YEAR',
    SUM([TimeTakenToComplete]) AS TOTAL
...

A: The trick is to start with cross-joining all distinct values for users with all distinct values for months in the table, and then left-join the result to the table:
SELECT
    c.ActionBy, m.mon, SUM(h.TimeTakenToComplete) AS TOTAL
FROM
    (select distinct ActionBy from myTable) c
    cross join (select distinct dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, ActionCreateDate), 0) as mon from myTable) m
    left outer join myTable h
    on h.ActionBy=c.ActionBy and dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, ActionCreateDate), 0)=m.mon
WHERE
    TimeTakenToComplete IS NOT NULL
    AND DeleteDate IS NULL
    AND ActionBy IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
    c.ActionBy, m.mon
ORDER BY
    m.mon ASC

Replace (select distinct ActionBy from myTable) with select on users table if any, and (select distinct dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, ActionCreateDate), 0) as mon from myTable) with a select on the Calendar table, if you have one.

A: Check this solution out. It gives the desired output.
Also I have used table variables to simulate your need. I have also used @Users table to consider that you have a users table. If you do not want to use the users table then you can use mytable as well but there should be atleast 1 entry of the missing user for some other month.
--Simulation of your myTable
DECLARE @myTable TABLE
(
    ActionBy VARCHAR(10),
    ActionCreateDate DATETIME,
    TimeTakenToComplete INT
)

--Simulation of users table
DECLARE @Users TABLE
(
    ActionBy VARCHAR(10)
)

--Dummy data for testing
INSERT INTO @myTable VALUES ('user1' , '2013-06-01', 100);
INSERT INTO @myTable VALUES ('user1' , '2013-06-01', 100);
INSERT INTO @myTable VALUES ('user1' , '2013-06-01', 100);

INSERT INTO @myTable VALUES ('user3' , '2013-07-01', 100);

INSERT INTO @Users VALUES ('user1');
INSERT INTO @Users VALUES ('user2');
INSERT INTO @Users VALUES ('user3');

From the street, the Dervaes family home in Pasadena, Calif., about a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles, resembles most others on its suburban block. But a quick peek around the corner reveals a backyard brimming with plots of fruits, veggies, and a rogue chicken or two.
The family of four produces upward of 6,000 pounds of produce a year on their tenth-of-an-acre property—nicknamed the Urban Homestead.
Patriarch Jules began developing the farm 30 years ago in an effort to take back ownership over his food and develop a deeper environmental consciousness.
Over the decades, Jules and his three children have harnessed every inch of their property to support hundreds of plants—all of which are organically tended to without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
During peak years, the backyard farm can house up to 400 plant varieties, but factors like drought, urban wildlife, and shadows from neighboring trees and homes make this number fluctuate.
The family has taken the challenges of suburban farming in stride and leaned on nature to correct what they cannot.
"It's a challenge to grow things organically," Jules told mindbodygreen in an email. "Sometimes we just have to let nature be, and if the crops are too infested, we'll just pull out the crop and plant another batch."
He and his children glean the majority of their vegetarian diet from the farm, and they share the products of their patience—organic herbs, greens, and fruits—with L.A. area residents eager to support the local food scene. Each week, people can buy a CSA box full of Urban Homestead produce as well as baked goods, raw honey, and jams from nearby businesses.
In inviting the community to take part in their journey, they hope to show others that connecting to nature doesn't have to be hard. Heck, you don't even have to leave your home to do it.
"Whether you live in an apartment, suburb, or on 10 acres, our mission is to connect with folks who yearn to take back their food and live a more sustainable and conscious lifestyle," said Jules. "We can all take small steps that collectively have a big impact. Even if it's plating a window of herbs or supporting your local farmers market."
The knowledge that they're pioneering a new agricultural movement that nixes the bigger is better mentality, along with the anticipation of biting into that first peach or tomato of the season, keeps them going through long harvest hours.
"Farming is an up-and-down journey. In these days of 24/7 and conveniences at our fingertips, growing your own food makes you appreciate and understand the energy and efforts that go into bringing food from farm to table."

Paganizer – Beyond the Macabre Review
As I was driving home the other day, I noticed a couple of Latter Day Saints rolling through my neighborhood. Solicitors (with the exception of Sölicitör) always put me in the uncomfortable situation of having to decide if I'd rather answer the door and carry on an awkward conversation or wound my conscience by ignoring the visitor. I'm an intensely private person in real life, but I also have a hard time telling people to go away. My wife constantly mocks me for the time I stood at the door and listened to a salesman for nearly 30 minutes. He was a seasoned pro, but I gave him such a brutal listening-to that he actually ran out of stuff to say. We stood in silence for a moment before I said, "No, thanks," and closed the door. Not wishing to repeat such an ordeal, I parked the car and ran inside while the Mormons were at my neighbor's house. I quickly grabbed my giant Bluetooth speaker and placed it right behind the front door. I scanned my library for the most appropriate LDS deterrent and zeroed in on the promo for Paganizer's latest, Beyond the Macabre, blasting it at full volume. The doorbell never rang.
If you're a fan of Swedish death metal, or death metal in general, you probably know who Rogga Johannsson is. The omnipresent Swede is in a host of bands, and his output frequency is beyond belief. Paganizer happens to be one Rogga's longest running projects and, unsurprisingly, pays homage to just about everything that's awesome about Swedish death metal. Previous album The Tower of the Morbid saw the band combining the buzzsaw sound of Dismember with a touch of melodic death metal a la Amon Amarth, and Beyond the Macabre finds the band dialing the latter up considerably. Embedded single "You Are What You Devour" demonstrates the band's enhanced melodic sensibilities, slathering big melodeath leads over its beefy riffs. The track strikes a great balance between sweet and sinister.
Beyond The Macabre (Death Metal) by PAGANIZER
And that balance holds throughout most of Beyond the Macabre. Things open with the one-two punch of "Down the Path of Decay" and "Left Behind to Rot," the former bringing some of the albums gnarliest HM-2 riffing, and the latter following suit, albeit with more melodic accoutrements. "Succumb to the Succubus" augments its buzzsaw assault with a bit of groove metal angst, and "Raving Rhymes of Rot" throws in a bit of melodic death/doom. And speaking of doom, epic closer "Unpeaceful End" sees Bolt Thrower's Karl Willets joining Rogga for a lumbering crawl to the finish line.
I'd have to say that the highs are higher on Beyond the Macabre than they were on its predecessor, but that makes the middling tracks feel a bit more middling as a result. Heavy hitters like "Left Behind to Rot," "You Are What You Devour," and "Succumb to the Succubus" are some of my favorite death metal moments of the year thus far, but they make the goofy "Meatpacker" and its chorus of "Meatpacker! – Frozen feeding frenzy!" feel pretty dumb as a result. But overall, Beyond the Macabre hits far more often than it misses.
In the end, I prefer Beyond the Macabre to The Tower of the Morbid, although that's mostly a reflection of my personal preference and not necessarily a testament to a vast difference in quality. I happen to enjoy this album's melodic focus, but you might prefer when the band skews towards the more brutal end of the death metal spectrum. Either way, Paganizer have written some fantastic tunes fit for scaring the heaven out of your religious solicitors.
