Here's a few examples of what people have been saying about OGRE:
Those three characteristics make me choose it and so far, after almost a year and a half, I have never regretted that decision. Ogre3D has helped us a lot by speeding up the prototyping phase, testing new techniques for the physics algorithms really quickly, and, as part of my Argo Engine, serving really well as the presentation module."
When we looked at Ogre the bar was instantly raised, it easily fulfilled all our criteria and more. The clean, extensible, object oriented architecture was well suited to our needs. Some open source projects often consist of cryptic, un-maintainable, spaghetti code. The thing I like most about Ogre, is that I do not feel compelled to have a shower every time I touch the code.
In addition, creating the scripts for interface components is a breeze since Ogre's approach is clean and straight-forward. While you can (and we did) manipulate GUI components through code for advanced effects, it is easy to get GUIs up and running quickly. Ogre's well-documented design makes it great both for prototyping and for customization of a finished product.
As an accolade to it's stability, it has performed outstandingly in an embedded environment. The transparent portability has allowed the development under a Microsoft environment and subsequent deployment on Linux with painless ease. With constant ongoing development in a growing, and evermore supportive, community, we have visions of using this engine for many years to come.

|Top assassinated people
Iqbal Masih (Urdu: اقبال مسیح) (b. 1983 - April 16, 1995), was a young Pakistani boy who was forced into bonded labour in a carpet factory at the age of five, became an international figurehead for the Bonded Labour Liberation Front at the age of 10 and was brutally murdered in 1995 at the age of 12 by being shot in the back with a twelve gauge shotgun.
Iqbal Masih was born in Muridke, a small, rural village outside of Lahore in Pakistan. Shortly after Iqbal's birth, his father, Saif Masih, abandoned the family. Iqbal's mother, Inayat, worked as a housecleaner, but found it difficult to make enough money to feed all her children from her small income.
Iqbal was sold as a child slave at the age of four for the equivalent of 12 USD. He was forced to work on a carpet loom in a small town called Muridke near Lahore, and was made to work twelve hours per day. Due to long hours of hard work and insufficient food and care, Iqbal was undersized. At twelve years of age, Iqbal was the size of a six-year old boy.
At the age of 10, he escaped the brutal slavery and later joined the BLLF (Bonded Labor Liberation Front of Pakistan) to help stop child labor around the world. Iqbal helped over 3,000 Pakistani children that were in bonded labour escape to freedom, and made speeches about child labour all around the world.
He was murdered on Easter Sunday 1995 in Muridke in the middle of a busy road. Some locals were accused of the crime but it is assumed by many that he was assassinated by members of the "Carpet Mafia" because of his famous fight against the child labour industry.
In 1994, Iqbal was awarded the Reebok Human Rights Award. In 2000, he was posthumously awarded The World's Children's Prize for the Rights of the Child.
In January 2009, the United States Congress established the annual Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination of Child Labor.
Iqbal's work and subsequent death inspired a 12 year old Canadian boy, Craig Kielburger to devote his life to Iqbal's cause and organize Free The Children.

LONDON (Reuters) – The euro struggled to hold on to earlier gains on Wednesday as more weak economic data offset optimism over U.S.-China trade negotiations.
Disappointing trade data out of Germany and a fall in consumer confidence in France contrasted with a more upbeat mood across markets.
News that Beijing and Washington had extended trade talks in Beijing for an unscheduled third day on Wednesday boosted oil prices and broader sentiment. Expectations of more easing in China helped the mood, with Asian and European shares rallying.
Adam Cole, chief currencies strategist at RBC, said those factors were giving a "better tone for risk this morning. It's all about a general risk-on mood."
But the euro did not benefit, falling back to $1.1451 after earlier rising as high as $1.1479 EUR=.
Wednesday's weak data in the region, which followed numbers on Tuesday showing an unexpected fall in German industrial output for the third straight month, underscored concern about a slowdown and the European Central Bank's caution as it tries to wean the region off stimulus.
The dollar index .DXY traded down 0.1 percent at 95.847 .DXY.
The bigger moves were in commodity-linked currencies, buoyed by the recovery in oil and hopes for progress in the U.S.-China trade talks.
The Australian dollar, considered a barometer of sentiment toward China, rose 0.4 percent to $0.7166 AUD=. The Aussie has now risen off near-decade lows below $0.68 reached earlier this month.
The Chinese yuan gained 0.3 percent to 6.8357 CNH= in offshore markets. The Canadian dollar also rose 0.3 percent to C$1.3240.
The Norwegian crown NOK= was briefly up more than a quarter of a percent. The New Zealand dollar gained 0.8 percent to $0.6774 NZD=.
The rally in riskier assets has accelerated since last Friday when Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he was aware of risks to the economy and would be patient and flexible in policy decisions this year.
That eased concern the Fed would be raising rates as the U.S. economy weakened.
"The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) minutes today, and Jay Powell's speech tomorrow, will give us an update of Fed thinking and of how much the other FOMC members are in agreement with the Chairman. If the message is still one of willingness to pause, and sensitivity to markets, the dollar won't get any help," said Kit Juckes, Societe Generale's currency strategist.
Against the yen JPY=, the dollar gained 0.2 percent to 108.905. The Japanese currency continued to weaken after a surge higher last week triggered by investors shifting into the perceived safety of the yen.

Shah Faesal stopped at Delhi airport, sent Srinagar (Lead)
Wednesday - August 14, 2019 4:50 pm , Category : INDIA
New Delhi, Aug 14 (IANS) Bureaucrat-turned-politician Shah Faesal, who has been highly critical of the government's moves on Kashmir, was on Wednesday stopped from leaving the country and sent to Srinagar, an official said.According to an immigration official, Faesal was stopped at the Indira Gandhi International Airport as he was about to go abroad. He was sent back to Srinagar on another flight and detained there.Faesal, who quit the Indian Administrative Service in January to form the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples' Movement (JKPM), has been posting tweets and Facebook content highly critical of the government's move abrogating Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and split the state into two Union Territories J&K and Ladakh.On Monday, he had triggered controversy with his tweet that there would be "no Eid till the last bit of insult is avenged and undone" over what he termed as the "illegal annexation" of Kashmir.Ahead of Eid, he had tweeted: "There is no Eid. Kashmiris across the world are mourning the illegal annexation of their land.""There shall be no Eid till everything that has been stolen and snatched since 1947 is returned back.""No Eid till the last bit of insult is avenged and undone," he posted, in comments that had invited strong criticism on social media.On Tuesday, he again posted: "Kashmir will need a long, sustained, non-violent political mass movement for restoration of the political rights. Abolition of Article 370 has finished the mainstream. Constitutionalists are gone. So you can either be a stooge or a separatist now. No shades of grey."In his Facebook post on August 7, he wrote that "Kashmir is experiencing an unprecedented lockdown. It's entire eight million population has been incarcerated like never before".

The target on Leinster's back has just got bigger. That's the way it has always been for champions. First up, it's Munster gunning for a win over the newly crowned European champions that would propel them into a third Guinness Pro 12/14 final in four seasons.
For the rest of Europe, especially the best the French and English leagues have to offer, Leinster is the scalp everyone wants now.
The Champions Cup had barely arrived in the Leinster dressing room in the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao Saturday night when Isa Nacewa and Johnny Sexton were being quizzed at the press conference as to how the semi-final with their closest Irish rival at the RDS on Saturday would impact on their celebrations.
"It won't," was Nacewa's honest reply. "Success needs to be marked and celebrated."
How right he is. Players aren't robots. Leinster run a highly successful ship and winning a Champions Cup is at the pinnacle of every club's ambition at the start of a season.
Only 20 qualifying clubs are afforded the opportunity to compete. Of those, perhaps six, at a stretch, have real aspirations of going all the way.
Right now the other five need to step up to the plate as the age profile of this Leinster squad suggests they have the capacity to remain at the summit. Regardless of what transpires next weekend, Leinster will be at the business end of big competition for some time to come.
The most startling fact to emerge from their unbeaten European campaign this season is that Leo Cullen used 37 players throughout the course of their nine-game campaign.
Whatever about having to blood players throughout the course of the domestic league programme — where, incredibly, Cullen has played 55 players to date due to the demands of the national team — to have 37 players even capable of playing in the Champions Cup says everything about the depth of the squad.
To have the confidence to give game time in Europe to 37 different players also reflects extremely well on the coaching staff. Firstly it suggests that the continual improvements they are making in training is a true measure of the coaching they are getting.
That, coupled with the fact the management has the confidence to back them with selection to perform at this level, instils even further belief in the group.
Perhaps the biggest single factor that influenced Leinster's latest march to the summit of European rugby was the decision by Cullen to approach former England head coach Stuart Lancaster and invite him into the coaching mix.
That scenario was borne out of the tragic necessity for Leinster's excellent defence coach Kurt McQuilkin to return home to New Zealand for personal reasons when his sister took ill.
It would have been easy for a former, high-profile, international coach to baulk at the prospect of working under a young head coach with an unproven track record, as Cullen's was at that stage. To say thanks, but no thanks.
Lancaster was always recognised in England as an excellent coach of young players as his career in developing underage talent for the RFU had proved.
He was thrust into the head role with the national side in a caretaker capacity initially when former World Cup-winning captain Martin Johnson was forced out after a very difficult 2011 World Cup campaign in New Zealand.
Lancaster proved such an initial hit, he was offered a contract until 2020 but the circumstances of England's exit from the World Cup tournament they hosted in 2015 forced his exit. English rugby needed a scapegoat and Lancaster was the easy fit.
What Cullen recognised and understood was that the skillset Lancaster possessed in developing good young players fitted perfectly with the Leinster set-up with so many excellent products emerging annually from their academy structure knocking on the door to make it to the next level. Lancaster has proved the perfect conduit to make that happen.
The Leinster model will be very difficult for the top English and French clubs to replicate. It is doubtful if any region in those two countries has the capacity to churn out the quality of young player coming through the Leinster schools system at present, despite the vast difference in numbers playing the game there.
The profile of Leinster's matchday squad in Bilbao says as much. The defining factor in Toulon's trio of European successes between 2013 and 2015, along with Saracens back-to-back victories in 2016 and 2017, was money.
With the backing of Mourad Boudjellal's millions, Toulon were able to go to the market and pick the best in class, the tried and trusted at the top level of the international game.
Carl Hayman, Johnny Wilkinson, Bakkies Botha, Ma'a Nonu, Duane Vermeulen, Juan Martin Fernández Lobbe, and Bryan Habana represent only a handful of the marquee names that has populated their squad in the recent past.
Saracens are similarly resourced — at least they were up to recently — which enabled them to match the best the English game has been producing, with a carefully selected quota of top-quality overseas signings, mostly from South Africa.
Yet the thing that resonates most with Leinster's latest champion side is the fact that so many in their stable were born and raised within the province and are products of their system. It is unprecedented in this day and age that 18 of Saturday's matchday 23 are direct products of Leinster's development programme.
Of the rest, Robbie Henshaw and Sean Cronin came through similar pathways in Connacht and Munster, leaving only three non-Irish qualified players in Isa Nacewa, Scott Fardy, and Jameson Gibson-Park. That extraordinary level of connection with where you come from is a rarity in professional sport.
Ironically both Toulon and Saracens suffered at the hands of Irish opposition when Munster and Leinster accounted for both at the quarter-finals stage this year.
Whereas Munster still have a distance to travel, the fact their eventual conquerers, Racing 92, came within a whisker of winning the final offers some hope.
The fact that Joey Carbery is supposedly more open to a move to Munster than Ulster to satisfy Joe Schmidt's desire that he get more game time at out-half would only serve to close the gap a little bit more.
For that potential move to come to fruition, however, one of Munster's existing No10s would have to be agreeable to making the switch north. We will wait and see what happens there.
The challenge for Leinster now is to keep improving and match the achievement of Toulon and Saracens in retaining their crown and match their own achievement when winning three Heineken Cups between 2009 and 2012.
Last weekend Leinster became the first side from outside the Aviva Premiership and the French Top 14 to win the newly constructed Champions Cup.
Motivation comes in different shapes and sizes but anyone following Leinster's fortunes in Europe this season got the sense, right from their opening Pool 3 encounter against high-flying Montpellier back at the RDS last October, that second best just wasn't an option.
Nine games and nine wins later, against the very best that European rugby has to offer in Montpellier, Exeter Chiefs, Glasgow Warriors, Saracens, Scarlets, and Racing 92, Leinster emerged as worthy champions. In doing so they have done Irish rugby proud.

3:45 p.m. St Andrews time (7:45 a.m. PDT)
He's the leader in the clubhouse at The Open Championship after an opening 65 today, and still the questions, and Dustin Johnson's answers, linger on Chambers Bay a month ago.
After his round, he was asked about "scar tissue" from repeated near-misses at majors, including the three-putt on 18 at Chambers in the U.S. Open.
"The Open I played really well," he said. "I felt like I was in control of my game. But I couldn't really control the ball bouncing. I could hit the putts where I wanted to, and if it went in, it went in, and if it didn't there was nothing I could do about that. It just didn't bounce my way."
Johnson wasn't the only player talking bounces on the putting greens at Chambers Bay … in one sense today, he was speaking figuratively, i.e., the rub of the green, and in another, he couldn't have been more literal.
The field mostly handled the Old Course on the front nine in sunny and calm conditions. Jordan Spieth and Johnson each played five-under on the front, but Spieth needed a birdie on 18 to get back to that number.
Tiger Woods was a notable exception. He went four-over on the front, and though he steadied and played even-par on the back, he has a cluster of players in front of him to get past if he wants to avoid getting bounced on his ass right out of the championship.

CuffSentry™ is the first and only device that continuously monitors and maintains desired endotracheal tube cuff pressure without the need for manual intervention.Watch an Online Presentation
Patients that require life support are typically cared for with an artificial airway that incorporates an air-filled cuff. Maintaining an endotracheal cuff pressure greater than 20cmH2O is a Level II American Thoracic Society, Infectious Diseases Society of America and CDC recommended Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) prevention strategy. Underinflation or overinflation is associated with complications ranging from migration of subglottic secretions to tracheal wall damage. Since CuffSentry™ maintains constant cuff pressure it can effectively address these complications.
Key Features
- CuffSentry™ maintains constant air-filled cuff pressure.
- Under and over-inflation of air-filled cuffs can be virtually eliminated.
- Saves clinician time and associated labor costs by eliminating the need for periodic cuff pressure checks - No more need for intermittent manual addition or withdrawal of air from ETT and tracheostomy air-filled cuffs.
- Cuff pressure maintained at your set pressure. REALTIME CUFF PRESSURE ALWAYS VISIBLE!
- Works on ANY air-filled artificial airway cuff.
- MOV (Minimal Occlusive Volume) and other manual methods relieve cuff pressure at every cuff check – this promotes subglottic secretions draining into the lower airway. CuffSentry™ may prevent this from happening as clinician set cuff pressure is constantly maintained 24/7.
- Cost effective - pays for itself by reducing labor costs and the additional expenses incurred by complications related to underinflation and overinflation.
5 Steps and Done!
- Attach CuffSentry™ to flowmeter (O2 or air) and adjust flow to ~1.0 L/M ( .5L/M to 2.0L/M )
- Cap or occlude the pressure line
- Adjust the pressure relief valve to desired cuff pressure
- Attach CuffSentry™ pressure line to ETT or trachesotomy pilot balloon connector
- Verify CuffSentry™ and ETT cuff communication by quickly squeezing and releasing pilot ballon while viewing manometer needle jumping up and down.
That's it! The air-filled cuff is now being maintained at your preferred pressure.CuffSentry™ - Patent pending

Zane Beadles Parade Foundation
About Us
Zane Beadles
Our Founder
Zane Beadles runs into people for a living! He is a former offensive lineman for the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers. While playing for the University of Utah, Zane met Ryker, a 7-year-old boy who had terminal brain cancer. Ryker dreamed of growing up to become a professional football player. The team adopted him into the Utes family, invited him onto the field and into the locker room during the football season. Unfortunately, Ryker's dream never came to be. Before he passed, Ryker asked to be buried in a team jersey. This had quite an effect on Zane. Shortly after being drafted to the Denver Broncos, Zane sought out ways to help support pediatric cancer patients, and he has been dedicated to giving back to the community ever since.
Zane believes that life is about the journey, not the destination – and he is dedicated to making the journey better for others.
Our Impact
Frequently totaling more than $1 million per child, the expenses associated with oncology care are devastating to a family's financial wellbeing. Many families have been impoverished by their child's disease. Often, a parent must stop working to care for their ailing child. The average income of a typical family we support is $50k – that is if both parents are able to keep their jobs. The families we serve require a minimum hospital stay of 120 days and incur more than $10k in medical expenses. ZBPF's goal is to raise funds to provide experiences and programming opportunities to which they would not otherwise have access while struggling through these unforeseen financial burdens. Our hope is to provide mental respite and happy memories while they face these medical and financial hardships.

The National Judicial Council that is sought to be set up by the Government by amending the Judges(Inquiry) Act, 1968 is on the following lines
An Amendment
of the Judges (Inquiry)
Act, 1968 is to be made for setting
up a National Judicial
Council that will investigate
reported acts of misconduct
by High Court and
Supreme Court Judges.
The new
law aimed at bringing
transparency in the functioning
of the judiciary and
will enhance its prestige.
Under the new procedure,
complaints can be made by
any person against Judges
of the Supreme Court and
High Courts except Chief
Justice of
The National
Judicial Council will consist
of the Chief Justice of
judges of the Supreme
Court to be nominated by
the Chief Justice, two
judges of the High Court to
be nominated by the Chief
Justice of India irrespective
of their seniority. However,
in the case of complaint or
a reference against a judge
of the Supreme Court, the
Council shall consist of the
Chief Justice of
four senior most judges of
the Supreme Court to be

When a person is injured, blood clotting is essential. However, once the danger has passed, it is equally essential to stop the clotting response in order to prevent thrombosis, or the obstruction of blood flow by clots. A protein called antithrombin is responsible for stopping coagulation, but about one in 2,000 people have a hereditary deficiency in antithrombin that puts them at much higher risk of life-threatening blood clots.
Researchers in Spain have analyzed the mutations in the antithrombin proteins of these patients and discovered that a section of the protein plays an unexpected role in its function. This insight into how antithrombin works could lead not only to treatments for patients with antithrombin deficiency, but also to better-designed drugs for other blood disorders. The research was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
The Centro Regional de Hemodonacion and Hospital Universitario Morales Meseguer of the Universidad de Murcia in Spain is a reference center for the diagnosis of antithrombin deficiency. For more than 15 years, researchers at the laboratory have been receiving samples from patients with diverse mutations that affect how their antithrombin works.
Antithrombin normally inhibits thrombin by inserting a loop-shaped region, called the reactive center loop, into the active site of the thrombin protein, preventing thrombin from catalyzing clot formation by distorting the shape of the thrombin's active site. Many antithrombin mutations that cause clotting diseases directly or indirectly affect the reactive center loop. However, biochemical studies led by Irene Martinez–Martinez discovered that mutations in a completely different part of the antithrombin also contributed to its dysfunction.
"We saw that we (had) mutants that were affecting the function of the protein even though they were very far from the main part of the protein that is in charge of the inhibition," Martínez–Martínez said. "People thought that the antithrombin function was mainly focused on one domain of the protein. With this work, we have realized that is not true."
The researchers' analyses of the new mutations suggested that the domain of the antithrombin at the opposite end of the reactive center loop helps keep the thrombin trapped in its final, distorted form. When there were specific mutations in this region, the thrombin was more often able to return to its active form and degrade and release the antithrombin.
Martínez–Martínez hopes that understanding the importance of this region of the antithrombin could lead to better drugs for preventing blood clotting by activating antithrombin or preventing bleeding by inhibiting it. She also emphasizes that the essential nature of this domain of the protein could not have been predicted from simply studying the sequences of healthy antithrombins.
"This work has been possible thanks to the characterization of mutations identified in patients," Martínez–Martínez said.

Visiting Artist Kevin Everson: Conversing on Art and Context
Combining fine arts with filmmaking, how does that work? For all of you interested in learning the tricks of the trade, we suggest you pay a visit to our LdM Auditorium on Friday April 4, as we are very pleased to announce the upcoming seminar and open forum with internationally acclaimed artist Kevin Jerome Everson, entitled 'Conversing on Art and Context'.
In conversation with our own professor in Creative Arts, Justin Thompson, Everson will first screen a series of film shorts and speak to the fundamentals of an aggressive studio practice. Everson himself is a sculptor and the objects he sculpts often become props in his own films.
Instead of standard realism, Everson favors a strategy that abstracts everyday actions and statements into theatrical gestures, in which archival footage is re-edited or re-staged, real people perform fictional scenarios based on their own lives and historical observations intermesh with contemporary narratives.
When: Friday, April 4, 2014 @ 3 PM
Where: Via Faenza 43, Florence
Free admission

Nice tone.
I like the concept.
Ivan - It's impossible to watch. Please change it to YouTube application.
Thank you.
Yeah seriously, the native player on this site is unwatchable. Even after you buffer the whole thing and replay, the cached data mysteriously disappears and you have to load all over again.
really HBO style. Simply the best(good :P) ... liked it :)
I guess "irreverent" is an antidote to dullness after all. These are nicely cheeky, apart from the granny one, which went a bit too far for me. But good series.

Spring Blossoms in Edmonton
The gorgeous Spring blossom season is right around the corner. If you are interested in having bright blooms as a location for photos, contact Kyla ([email protected]) to 'pencil' your session in – we can not control the weather!
Here are a few of my own girls when they were younger – we enjoy spending time at our favourite pink tree. Every year we take photos here – some posed, but the majority are candids.
Typically the blossoms arrive mid-end of May.

Yes, we will eventually finish this chapter. But not today. It's a passage that is so totally rich in truth.
When Jesus told Martha that her brother would rise again, she said,
I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day. (24)
But Jesus answered,
I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. (25-26)
In other words, "The resurrection is not simply a time in the future when the dead will be raised. I am the resurrection. I am the one that raises the dead and gives them life. And if you believe in me, you will never truly die."
Jesus proved that moments later by raising Lazarus from the dead. And just as he called Lazarus out from the grave, so will he call all who have put their faith in him.
The apostle Paul tells us,
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. (I Thessalonians 4:16)
And again,
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed– in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. (I Corinthians 15:51-53)
Lazarus was only raised temporarily. He would die again. But when Jesus raises us, we will be raised in an immortal and incorruptible body.
How about you? Do you know what will happen after you die? Do you know that you have eternal life? Jesus is the resurrection and the life. If you believe in him, you will never truly know death. Only a new beginning.
Jesus asks you the same question he asks Martha. "Do you believe this?"
May you answer as she did,
I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God. (27)

When I first brought in my device the staff member told me it would take about a week to get the battery. Two weeks later, I had to call to find out it still wasn't there, but that day's mail hadn't come yet so it...
Moshe and his team were excellent, friendly and thorough.
Price & quality of work.
Even though my phone could not be fixed, you were kind enough to take a good look at it and advise me. Thanks!
Dropped my phone in the water and did everything wrong, rice, turned it on, what a mess. Took it to UBREAKIFIX and they were able to fix it. Saving me from having to buy a new phone.
Your techs tried very hard to diagnose and fix my phone. It's not your fault that they encountered a problem (bad mother board) that was not worth repair. I do appreciate the effort.
Service completed in time promised with estimated price. This is the second time I've used you, and I've recommended you to friends.
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Did a good job.
IF the battery had been in stock, I wouldn't have without a phone for 5 days.
The service was great, if not a bit pricey. The only thing that didn't sit well with me was the smell of the store. There was some sort of aroma device being used and it was totally overpowering. A very strong, synt...

Biotransformation/ Detoxification
The 2009 Fourth National Report on Human Exposure to Chemicals by the Centers for Diseases Control revealed that Americans of all ages are carrying over 219 toxic chemicals in our body at any given time.
Polluted waters. Solvents in gasoline. Pesticides sprayed on fruits and vegetables. Neurotoxins in contaminated seafoods or other food sources. Not only are we exposed to these environmental toxins, but we are exposed even without leaving home. The daily act of getting up each morning , brushing our teeth with fluoride toothpaste, taking a shower with chlorinated water, applying cosmetics or personal hygiene products containing parabens or aluminum or other toxic metals, and eating food laced with pesticides or stored in plastics with xenoestrogens, can expose us to well over 100 different chemical compounds before we even leave home each day.
Normally our immune system, liver, and kidneys work together to remove toxins at the same rate in which they are encountered. However, we are being subjected to more toxins than ever before, and our body are unable to handle the detoxification demands of our highly toxic world. When external toxin levels accumulate and exceed our body's capability to remove them, these increased toxic burden will cause symptoms in all body systems. This may not be evident initially, but over time, these toxic effects may manifest as fatigue, headaches, brain fog, insomnia, weight gain or inability to lose weight, hormonal imbalances, sensitivity to chemicals… just to name a few.
In addition to external toxins, internal toxins such as stress, fear, unresolved trauma, bacterial, yeast, fungal overgrowth, can all overwhelm our body, and make it difficult to feel completely well.
Our gentle yet effective detoxification program includes the nutrients and metabolic tools needed to revitalize your body's detoxification process naturally, to improve your overall health. These pharmaceutical grade targeted nutrients enhance the detoxification of environmental pollutants, hormone disruptors and other harmful toxins, and comes in the form of a tasty shake to be taken twice daily, along with some other supplements. These convenient shakes can also be easily incorporated as a meal replacement plan to further enhance weight loss, if that is your goal, to bring about true " biotransformation ", which is your body that is functioning properly.
Do you live near a major urban area or near a busy highway?
Do you eat out frequently or eat pre-packaged foods?
Do you experience discomfort after eating certain foods?
Are you overweight, underweight, or do you have cellulite?
Have you ever had a course of antibiotics or taken prescription medications?
Have you gained a lot of weight after taking a course of antibiotics?
Do you have less than 2 bowel movements a day?
Are standard cleaning products used in your home or office?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions above, you will most likely benefit from our medical detoxification program. Call us today to get started.
Your biotransformation is just a phone call away.
Call us NOW!

As day broke, a lazy Sunday morning started with snacks of granola for breakfast and a text with photo to my dad to wish him a Happy Father's Day. We checked out of Silverland Inn and headed to the Virginia & Truckee Railroad to purchase tickets for the first ride of the day.
The F Street 1870 V&T Depot looks much like a train station would have looked like in the Old West with benches on the outside and interior waiting room for winter days. There is a museum with historical finds like stock certificates and antique wood burning stove. You can also purchase tickets and souvenirs in the shop as well. As 10:30am approached, the sound of a steam whistle sounded off in the distance. Just around the bend a steam trail plumed into the sky as the train came into view. There is nothing like watching Train #29 pull into the station, chugging and puffing, as it slowed to a halt. I felt like I was in an western movie. The engineers and conductor were dressed in period costumes to make it more realistic.
As the conductor yelled, "All aboard!" everyone started to line up to get a seat in either the covered car or open top car. It looked like it was once used for storing wood or coal for the engine. The 35-minute round trip tour includes narration from the conductor and these sights:
- Tunnel No. 4 is the last tunnel before Virginia City, one of seven built for the 1600-ft. descent to the valley floor.
- Comstock mines including the Gould & Curry, Savage, Hale & Norcross, Potosi, Chollar, Julia, Ward Bullion, East Yellow Jacket, Crown Point, Kentuck, Yellow Jacket, Combination, and the Foreman.
- Gold Hill is where the Comstock Era gold and silver strikes began in 1859. You can see the Liberty Engine fire company monument, dine at the 1859 Gold Hill Hotel, see the early Bank of California building and the Maynard Block.
Once the train is back in Virginia City, it's time for lunch. The Palace Restaurant and Saloon has been in Virginia City since 1875. If you are feeling really hungry, The Garbage Truck Burger is sure to feed the hunger beast. It is two beef patties topped with bacon, pastrami, provolone cheese, onion ring, lettuce, tomato, pickle and Thousand Island dressing. This behemoth packs a flavor punch worthy for any opponent. It's got a good balance of savory, sweet, and sour. It is served with French fries. Rating: 5/5
Bison Burger was a daily special and was pretty good. The patty was a good size. It was juicy and meaty. I chose to top it will cheddar cheese. The fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Rating: 4.5/5
We had a lot of time to kill until checking into our next lodging so we decided to window shop. Nothing But Skulls is a new comer to Virginia City and opened on June 5, 2015. If you like skulls or are a fan of hard rock, this is a must stop. Along with all things skull, they also have a large assortment of hard rock t-shirts and skull-inspired designs.
Virginia City Mercantile is a must stop for cold drinks, collectables, nostalgic gifts, old time candy, and more. If you have a hankering for a Sarsaparilla, they have it. If you're looking for a one-of-kind hot sauce, they have it. They also have the largest selection of metal signs I have ever seen from old time Coca Cola to classic cars. Barrels and barrels of taffy of imaginable flavor also line the sides of the store. Even if you don't want to buy anything, just stop in to look at everything!
On the weekends, locals will dress up in period attire and roam the streets. A man dressed up as a miner with his donkey, we nicknamed "Stinkin' Pete" could be seen up and down the street, posing for photos or just shootin' the breeze with locals and visitors.
The Delta Saloon has a tractor tour of the city. It's about 30 minutes and it's only $5 per person! You can catch the tractor tour in the Delta Saloon parking lot right across the street. It takes you along C Street and down to D Street with views of the Virginia City Cemetery, Chollar Mine, and historical facts about the town. Plus, it will give you a chance to rest your feet while touring the town.
After the tour, it was time to head over to Grandma's Fudge Factory to pick up our favorite fudge flavors to take home with us and grab some ice cream. It was a hot and sunny Father's Day in Virginia City and an ice cold, creamy ice cream treat really hit the spot. Grandma's Fudge Factory stocks Cascade Glacier Ice Cream from Washington. They are one of the oldest ice cream makers in the Western United States and have been churning out quality products since 1938. I love unique flavors and immediately chose the Huckleberry ice cream. It was creamy and tastes like the artisan ice creams that are taking the stage in SoCal. The huckleberry flavor is sweet and a little tart. It is amazing! The Maui Sherbet is all of the tropical fun flavors of Hawaii, sort of like a creamy version of shaved ice.
Silver Queen Hotel & Saloon is known for an important lady. Inside, there is a Silver Queen mural on the wall. Her dress and the border of the mural are inlaid with 3,261 silver dollars. This hotel also has permanent residents who the Ghost Adventures crew has met with three times. There are 28 hotel rooms available for your own ghostly encounter.
Time to check into our next lodging, the Cobb Mansion. Herman J. Harris bought the empty lots, on which the Cobb Mansion currently sits, after the Great Fire of 1875. It burned most of Virginia City. Mr. Harris owned a cigar shop on C Street and built and lived in the house with his wife, Billie, two sons and a daughter, his brother Samuel, and an Irish servant. The Harris family owned the home until 1933, when William Cobb and his wife (whose maiden name was Harris), bought the house in the middle of the Great Depression for $300. The Cobb family owned the home until 1975. Donald and Debbie Ford owned the home for a few years. Connie Carlson, daughter of "Tiny" Carlson and owner of Silver Queen Saloon, bought the house in 1979 and raised her four children here. In 2004, current owners, Paul Yandre and Jeff Teague, purchased the home and began major restorations. The restorations they have done are absolutely fabulous with a foyer, formal parlor, family parlor, formal dining room, kitchen, butler's pantry, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and an office.
We stayed in the Harris Suite. Upon entry, a Turkish sitting room opens up to the bedroom with easterly views of the valley and C Street. The Turkish room boasts souvenirs that Paul and Jeff have collected over the years while living in the Middle East. Modern amenities are carefully hidden like a high speed router for fast internet connections if you have to work or research places in town. A flat screen TV is hidden behind stained glass windowed doors above the fireplace. Temperature thermostat is behind the headboard for cool AC for the summer and heat for the winter. The bathroom is cute and just the right size for the room. The king bed is so comfortable that I decided to take a short nap before we needed to head out for dinner.
After a nice nap, we head down the hill to Café del Rio. The building itself is historic. In 1873, it was a grocery convenience store. In the 1960s, it was a car garage. You can still see the where the double-garage doors would have been if you look front at it from the front of the building or looking out from the dining room. Chef Brian and Ardi Shaw have owned and operated Café del Rio in Virginia City since 2005. Their first location started in 1996 in Carson City, NV. Their fans have followed them to this new location and it has been the "hot spot" in town ever since. I always ask locals where they like to eat when I'm in a new town. Café del Rio always came up in the conversation often with an added "Make sure you make a reservation!" It was Father's Day so we definitely needed it. Even at 5pm, the dining room was packed.
Del Rita is made with Sauza Gold, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and served on the rocks. It is a little on the sour side. It's strong enough to get you relax without being overbearing on the tequila flavor. It could be a little sweeter. Rating: 4/5
Baby Kale Salad is topped with dried cranberries, fresh pear, toasted almonds, manchego cheese, and lemon vinaigrette. It is a refreshing salad with sweetness from the cranberries, rich nutty flavor from the almonds, and salty creamy notes from the cheese. Rating: 4/5
Del Rio House Salad is mixed greens topped with spiced pecans, Cojita cheese, and cumin-lime vinaigrette. This salad has a good mix of flavors and love the spicy kick of the pecans! Rating: 4.3/5
Crab Cakes are made with Canadian snow crab and served with tamarind tartar sauce. They have a great texture with rich crab flavor. The crab cakes are delicate on their own. The tamarind tartar sauce was a tad sour and salty for the crab, but kudos on this creative twist instead of typical tartar sauce or remoulade. Rating: 4.3/5
Taquitos are made with seasoned chicken, potatoes, and jack cheese rolled in crisp corn tortillas and served with avocado salsa. The outside is golden brown and crispy. The chicken inside is tender. The flavor overall could be ramped up a tad, maybe with a spicy kick of chili powder. Rating: 3.3/5
BBQ'd Chicken Quesadilla is a flour tortilla filled with strips of BBQ chicken breast, jack cheese, fresh corn-off-the-cob, poblano pesto, and chipotle sour cream on the side. The BBQ chicken is tender. The poblano pesto is awesome! It would be great on a sandwich or tossed in pasta. The cheese is creamy. The corn is sweet and juicy. The kernels just pop in your mouth. Rating: 4.8/5
West Texas Steak Tacos are flour tortillas filled with grilled skirt steak, house smoked cheddar, pico de gallo, lettuce, and chipotle sour cream. The tender, juicy skirt steak matches perfectly with the cheese, pico de gallo, and crisp, fresh lettuce. This is our favorite menu item! Rating: 5/5
Gospel Fried Chicken was on the table of most of the patrons so I needed to try it. Plus, I just love fried chicken! It was crispy and perfectly blistered on the outside. The flavor and texture was similar to chicken fried steak. The chicken was tender and moist inside. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the chicken gravy was smooth like velvet. Rating: 4.8/5
Cinnamon Ice Cream with Caramel Sauce was the sweet ending to our dining experience. It tasted like a churro or horchata in ice cream form. The caramel lends a buttery sweet flavor. Rating: 4/5
Since we needed to walk uphill back to the Cobb Mansion, we took a very, slow leisurely walk back. We passed by the Mackay Mansion, which we had seen from the train. Since we missed the tour of the Cobb Mansion grounds during dinner, we took a peek at the outdoor patio and the rest of the downstairs. It was such a nice day of adventure and learned a lot about this historic mining town. Time to relax and get some sleep before the big push back to SoCal.

Simply Healthy, Simply Happy!
Cooked a simple yet healthy lunch for the family one day last January. For a stay/work from home Mom like me, it is quite hard sometimes to think and prepare the family's meal of the day. Especially if you have a picky eater, a curious toddler and a spouse that loves to alternate most all-time-Filipino-dishes. Not to mention a slightly tight budget. I have to set my own choice most of the time… not until this particular day when I did not ask for their meal requests. I gave in to mine! To my surprise, they all liked it too! I am just glad that both my girls eat…
5 things a simple SMILE can do
You have heard that "Laughter is the best medicine!" but did you ever wonder why? You must have already found the answer from Google or from a medical book maybe. Admittingly, since I have had dentures years back, I feel awkward when I smile. So, when I give a polite type of smile, I (most often than not) also let my eyes work – a wink, a smiling eyes or a quick raise of the eyebrows. But sometimes, I feel that I am not really giving it (smile and what it meant in whatever moment there is) 100%. I am haunted by that feeling for sometime, really! Especially when I…
A Prayer
A beautiful female actress, Denise Laurel, posted this prayer on her Instagram account and I cannot help but like it. Love it, actually! In fact, I copied the prayer and made a new layout for it using Photoshop. (Yes! I have Photoshop again, yay!) Okay, not layout, just a different background and font. =) Here, I am but glad to share the prayer in my blog too. This prayer moved me. I wish someone would be "awaken" as well. I even think that this is another prayer you can actually say everyday. Hope this post made you smile and at least feel good.
To Do List, Updated!
Yesterday, I posted my submitted photo entry for FatMumSlim's Photo a Day challenge and admitted that I should have updated it. There was something to correct with what I wrote in my to do list. I should only do one. GIVE! Just before you close your eyes and lay to bed for sleep, GIVE THANKS!
To Do List: Yes I Can!
I have been joining FatMumSlim's Photo a Day Challenge and so far, I have not skipped a day. Yay! If I'd be able to complete the January challenge, I know I can do it for the rest of the remaining months too! As per my daughter K, "Push it Mom!" Today's challenge, or theme is actually a "To Do List". And this is what I have submitted: I think I came up with this idea from a thought that came into my mind Saturday afternoon as I was walking back home after I bought something from a nearby store… these are better said (or written) in Filipino as it gives…


text:
I know I skipped Day #4 and #5, but there's reason for that.
- For Day #4 the topic was:A picture of you doing something weird but funny. Well, I hardly have pictures of myself. Forget about silly pictures.
2. For Day#5 the topic was: A picture of your friends being silly. I didn't think posting a silly picture of a friend would be very nice.
3. I'm already running late in this. 😛
So moving on to a more fun topic:
Write a paragraph to somebody – it could be anybody you want, even someone you haven't met yet.
I thought a lot about this one and decided to write to my first official teacher, Krishna ma'am, who will always remain my favorite teacher forever. ❤
We are talking about the year 2002, and ma'am you obviously don't even remember me now. But there are so many things that I wasn't old enough to tell you then, and am not familiar enough to tell you now. Before nursery, I had never been to any other school, and so you were my first teacher ever. I still remember how you taught us a poem about two birds sitting on a wall, I remember how you gave me one of my first books to read (I think it was called "Mitttu: The Parrot"). I even remember that I never used to like having tiffin, and you would walk around the corridors with me till I finished my food. Your smile, your gentle scolding- its all so rare now. Every teacher I have now, well, they are amazing teachers, but they are all so…. impersonal. They come into class, teach, check our papers, give us marks, and leave. The difference between you and them reminds me of one thing only: it sucks to grow up. So 14 years since when you taught me the very basics of life, I wish you all the happiness in your life, all the happiness that you have showered on a thousands little kids like me.
I am so disorganised when I write. X( *facepalm*

2Hawk Winery
September 20, 2018
Energy efficiency was a key component to our in-house design team when constructing 2Hawk Winery's 12,000 square foot state-of-the-art wine producing facility. We designed 2Hawk Winery to meet the owner's desires of sustainability and completed the specifications during construction.
One of the sustainable features that was implemented the in the split-level design of the building are roof-mounted solar panels. These solar panels produce 70-100% of the energy needed in the winery, with the lower percentage representing energy needs as production grows. We also utilized the existing slope of the site and a 12-foot high concrete retaining wall to provide passive heating and cooling. The wall will also facilitate the grape procession on the upper level of the building, and the fermentation process on the main level.
Rick Miller took the lead as Project Manager, and our in-house design team used their extensive pre-engineered metal building experience to design this state-of-the-art wine producing facility. Our erection crews and local MEP subcontractors completed construction in record time to beat the earlier than normal grape harvest. It was a unique and rewarding project for our design-build team, as we specialize in green design.

If you are a businessman who aims to be successful in your field, you should consider hiring a life coach to help you achieve your goals. While a life coach may not have deep knowledge about your line of business, he or she can still be invaluable since it is their job to know your greatest asset more deeply – yourself.
Here are some of the top ways on how a highly-skilled life coach can help you move your business forward:
- A life coach will hold you accountable.
If you are the boss in the company and everybody is under your payroll, nobody will tell you straight to your face if you are slacking off or not doing your job properly. A life coach will never lie to you or merely tell you pleasant things. If you say you are going to do something and you didn't do it, your life coach will hold you accountable.
- A life coach will help you look at things differently.
One of the reasons many businessmen get stuck is that they get used to reacting and not strategizing. A good life coach will remind you to pause amidst your busy day to think and act more strategically rather than merely acting on what's going on in your business.
- A life coach will help you view the many aspects of your life more clearly.
While a life coach is helping you grow your business, he or she knows that being a businessman is just a part of who you are and not the entire you. Hence, a life coach will ensure that you live a balanced life and not be a slave to your work and regret in the end.
Experience the many advantages described above by getting invaluable life coaching from Leanne Cannon of Dream Achievers Unlimited. Leanne has helped numerous CEOs, entrepreneurs, and newbie business to find their inner strength and spirit to continue moving forward and get to where they want to go.

Functional Testing Procedure for Fitbit App
Functional testing for mobile apps plays a decisive role in strengthening the overall quality of app on all available platforms and devices. Functional testing is a kind of black box testing to evaluate the quality of a particular product with reference to its functional requirement. The functional testing process involves the activities that measure the code of each component. Fitbit app will only perform well when it will be consistently tested out on the basis of its functional requirement. The process of functional testing is as follows.
- Initiation of the statement of work through requirement gathering
- Estimation of test requirement and planning
- Risk assessment and traceability matrix
- Software /hardware configuration and implementation of test cases
- Capturing of results and sharing of insights
- Summary reporting and recommendation of test reports
- Project closure and client acceptance
Ending Note
Mobile app testing is mandatory for Fitbit app to ensure its quality on all available devices and platforms. As the competition between the same niche of apps is becoming more and more intense so hiring software testing services firms can help the developer of apps to ensure product sustainability for longer time duration.

Supporting Aboriginal women in justice and public safety professions
JIBC recognized for partnership with Minerva Foundation
The JIBC Foundation has partnered with the Minerva Foundation in its education awards for Aboriginal women since 2008, matching Minerva contributions dollar for dollar to provide awards to students. Over the years, the JIBC Foundation has provided over $24,000 in matching funds to 20 Aboriginal women to pursue their training and educational goals in justice and public safety. This year the number of Minerva Foundation Awards for Aboriginal Women available has doubled; providing four awards of $4,000 each to Aboriginal students, starting this fall.
In recognition of the JIBC Foundation's support of Minerva's goal to assist women in BC to pursue their education, the Institute was one of four special, long-term donors and partners named as award recipients at the recent 7th Annual Education Awards Recognition Luncheon.
Recipients received an engraved Inukshuk Circle of Friends statuette, with an inscription recognizing the significant and continued support of the mission of the Minerva Foundation. Originally the Inuit built these manlike sculptures of rock along Canada's northern shores as markers to lead their way. Today they serve as symbols to remind us of our dependence on one another, and the importance of strong relationships.
For more information about the range of financial aid and awards available to students, visit the Financial Aid & Awards page on the JIBC website.

text: Kate Carr is an Alaska-born, New Mexico-based artist who says that "living in spaciousness" helps her "leave space in [my] work for things to occur." Carr crafts her sculptures through repetitive processes like stacking and layering, using tactile everyday materials both soft and hard, such as plywood and felt. These works—which are often wall-mounted to resemble paintings—encompass a range of textures, densities, and weights. Although Carr's sculptures are intensely material, they are formally abstract and rooted in a commitment to working with simple lines. Her works evoke the shaped canvases of the 1970s and '80s, and she lists such feminist art pioneers as Agnes Martin, Eva Hesse, and Dorothea Rockburne among her influences.

Maybe someone has some experience or knowledge about such:
I would like to study finance from scratch to get a basis for studying financial risk management later. I got my Master of science degree in Sweden (lots of math courses). I do have a work in engineering, therefore I can only study evening time or online.
I did my research at "antagning.se" but there were nearly no options there. Maybe I can get some separate courses but not the whole finance degree, not sure who to ask about this.

You need to be a lot more specific on your background. Risk management is a pretty saturated field and there is a lot of competition for jobs (from people with an actual proper background for the job). If you want to work as a risk quant in a bank you will need the equivalent of at least a masters in mathematical finance that has good alumni connections with big banks and has many big banks on campus recruiting. There has been an explosion of masters in financial engineering/mathematical finance type programmes in the past ten years so the field is really truly saturated with talent and if you don't come from a big name school and have connections in the industry it can be incredibly cutthroat to try to break-in.

Geocidal is a debut album by tētēma, a collaboration between Mike Patton and Australian pianist and composer Anthony Pateras. It was released on 9th December 2014. The album has been categorised in the rock genre, although none of the tracks has anything like a typical rock song structure, apart from perhaps '3-2-1 Civilisation'. The album has elements of jazz, electronic music, and heavy metal. It was released on Patton's label, Ipecac Recordings.
The process of the album's production began in 2012. Its recording took place over half the planet's continents, in locations as various as a convent in rural France, Paris as well as a two-day stint in San Francisco. Pateras comments that:
The interesting thing about the record is that every element is recorded in a different country, and this gives the sound a displaced, almost vaporous intensity. I moved country twice during its genesis as well… the whole geocidal thing is about coming from no place, re-birthing, watching the place you are from be altered beyond recognition that you have nothing to do with it anymore.
When spoken to, Mike Patton said the following of Geocidal:
This is much more Anthony's baby than mine. All I was trying to do was to fit into the fabric; not dominate, not change the arrangements or the structures too much, and just be a little bit of wallpaper.
Some of the concepts that inspire the work—namely, the destruction of a stable sense of place by modern technology, the erasure of individual specificity by globalisation—are derived from the book Pure War by the radical theorists Sylvère Lotringer and Paul Virilio, written in 1982. Both writers are associated with the independent press Semiotext(e). The title of the track Pure War here is, of course, taken from that book, published in 1984. On the CD's shrink wrap, a sticker announces the album's theme: 'Mike Patton & Anthony Pateras investigate the murder of place to bring you tētēma….'
The album came about after Mike Patton added vocals at a one-time show with Pateras in 2011 for an earlier project called "PIVIXKI". Patton arrived and was super-prepared for the show.
The album was recorded variously at Instants Chavirés in Montreuil, France, the University of California in San Diego, Electric Dreams in South Melbourne, Australia, Hardy Street, Fuldastraße Gartenhaus in Berlin, Worm in Rotterdam and Piethopraxis in Cologne. It was produced at Gold Tony Love's Audio Hell and mixed at Les Ateliers Claus in Saint-Gilles, Belgium. It was mastered at Moose Mastering and designed at Implant Design. Geocidal was recorded with the help of the Australia Council for the Arts.
Invocation of the Swarm
Eerie percussion and didgeridoos give way to the sound of bells, a collection of electronic glitches, Patton's screaming and, of course, the sound of a swarm on this apocalyptic opener.
Duration: 02:44
Pure War
A slab of metal thunder and Patton's hard-consonant shouting feature on this heavier track. Crashing percussion, a feast of electronic tones and screaming sounds are followed by a sonic ambiance that feels like city lights at dusk.
Duration: 02:41
A happy soundscape like a gamelan plays along before Patton's tuneful vocals say 'cannot find Irundi' in this world music-inspired track.
Duration: 04:18
The Hell of Now
An indeed hellish piece, this bassy and deep composition is joined by pleasant glockenspiel tones before Patton introduces his grunting, growling vocals. A reverberating gong closes this track.
Duration: 03:16
Ten Years Tricked
An eerie, unnerving treble piano chord and a very deep, pulsing drone on the bass accompany Patton's airy, ethereal high tenor vocals. A surreptitious trumpet enters with a single note and begins a very jazzy solo, surrounded by an apocalyptic future soundscape and shivering cymbals. Patton whispers in a sinister manner while trickling sounds like the inside of a sewer combine with an atmospheric piano to create an urban gothic ambiance.
Duration: 07:31
3-2-1 Civilisation
The most traditional track on the album, '3-2-1 Civilisation' begins at great speed, sounding not dissimilar to drum and bass. Patton's gravelly vocals chant 'you, us, them… them, us, you' before a section of characteristic shouting. An intriguing interplay of digital glitches and electronic bleeps take this track to a close.
Duration: 03:36
A rhythmic, metallic start kicks off this track before Patton chants his layered vocals in an unclear language. Soft, offbeat organ chords take us through choral vocals into Patton's declaring in English 'even when immobile, we are in motion', emphasising the general argument and theme of the album—the murder of place by technology, the destruction of dwelling by a world of proliferating transnational linkages and constant traffic. The gentle play of contrabass recorder is interrupted by a sudden slab of howled sound.
Duration: 03:22
This shorter, faster track deploys the best of the team's electronics skills.
Duration: 00:35
Kid Has Got the Bomb
This rhythmic track has much shouting and a smorgasbord of digital bleeps and bloops. It features sound effects of typing and strategically placed silences.
Duration: 04:31
Emptiness of Ecstasy
A deep, reverberating, gritty drone starts this track before Patton's layered vocals in a higher register create the effect of a ghost in the machine. Then a sudden silence occurs, giving the listener a breather and a sense of balance.
Duration: 02:10
Death in Tangiers
The final track starts with a recording of children talking before the piano plays and Patton whistles. With warmth and depth, Patton sings in unison with a piano melody before dissonant strings play in a Gubaidulina-like section.
Duration: 04:01
Ipecac's own notes on the album describe it as featuring a '12-piece all-star cast of incredible musicians'. Anthony Pateras was a composer, arranger, engineer, mixer, pianist, and producer on the album and played the synthesizer. Mike Patton was a composer, engineer, lyricist, vocal engineer and of course a vocalist on the album. He was also responsible for the vocal arrangement.
Judith Hamann played the cello. Natasha Anderson played bass and contrabass recorder. Jessica Aszadi sings soprano. Anthony Burr plays clarinet, bass clarinet, pedal steel guitar and worked as an engineer on the album. Lachlan Carrick provided mastering. Rhys Corr worked as a string engineer. Axel Därner played the trumpet. Samuel Dunscombe played clarinet and bass clarinet and worked as an engineer. Etienne Fayer provided drum and piano engineering. Will Guthrie was a composer and guest artist on the drums. Alexander Parsden played guitar. Matthias Schack-Arnott played glockenspiel, marimba, vibraphone and general percussion. Byron Scullin was a string engineer. Valerio Tricoli worked the tape recorders while Els Viaene deployed field recordings. Erkki Veltheim played viola and violin.
Album art
The CD comes with drawings from Sydney-based visual artist Nik Kamvissis. Kamvissis also designed the album fonts. Schehab Tariq designed the album's layout.
Reviewer Danny Baraz at Janky Smooth warns readers that if they're looking for an album of 'sing-songs', then Geocidal will disappoint. But for originality, the album is a winner, with its 'pleasing and haunting sonic landscapes'.
Mark Deming at All Music gives the album a strong vote with four stars. Patton's gregarious desire to collaborate with many other talented musicians has led him to create the tētēma vehicle and give birth to a 'ferocious mixture of avant-garde experimentalism, world music accents, and heavy metal velocity'. He praises the apocalyptic ambiance throughout the album and its intelligent balancing act of both quieter sections and more abrasive, explosive parts. Though Geocidal is less heavy or absurdist than other Patton works, Deming regards it as having a deeper philosophical meaning, a dangerous vision that is highly compelling.

7-19 and 7-20-16
Kings of this world listen to Me!
I AM the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus the Christ, The Messiah, the Son of the Living God.
I AM the One who has allowed you to have authority over the nations and the peoples of this world.
Do you think you can fight against Me and win?
I laugh at you and your weakness!
Though you think you are strong, you will bow your knee to Me the Great I AM!
I tell you if you humble yourself before Me now, you will rule and reign with Me in My Kingdom that is not of this world, forever and ever and ever. I tell you that you cannot keep My Kingdom from coming to this earth. You cannot make laws that prohibit the spreading of My Kingdom. I AM not in your official, churches of the state. They have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. My true remnant bride will not obey your laws that go against Mine, for I AM their king and they take orders from Me. My true followers cannot stop speaking My name for I AM the way, the truth and the life and NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me.
Oh kings of the earth, you know that the destroyer is coming yet you do not warn the people!
Do you not think that I will hold you accountable for this?
The blood of millions will be upon your hands.
If you were to repent before Me now and do the things that you should do, millions upon millions of souls could be saved and your reward would be very great in My kingdom.
The god that you are following now, knowingly or unknowingly, will discard you when he is done using you. He does not care for you or love you, he cannot, for I AM love. After he has used you to destroy each other and a great part of the earth, he will send in your replacements. They are stronger and more evil than you ever could be, for they are the fallen ones. They are not human. The people of the world will look to them for answers because you kings will be exterminated. There is nowhere that you can hide that they will not be able to find you. You will be hunted like an animal and in your deep hiding places you will find your demise.
Then in the middle of my prayer and worship time in the morning the LORD gave me a small vision.
Barack Obama standing at a podium with papers in his hands. and he was reading from them, He said " In light of the recent natural disasters, nuclear war, famine, and diseases we are henceforth going to ask our new visitors for some much needed help. Now I am pleased to introduce to you the head of the Federation (name blank)" Then a 9 to 10 feet tall alien/ fallen angel stood up beside Obama. Here is the closest picture that I could find of it.
The Lord continued on and said:
Oh kings of the earth all of you can be saved, except for the lawless one, the son of perdition, the king of Babylon the great, the Anti-Christ who deceives the entire world. He will drink the full cup of My wrath down to the last drop! For he causes much of the problems and disasters in the world but also proposes the solutions. He thinks that he is in control but he will see very soon that I AM, He is the one who will open up his body, soul and spirit to Satan, who will possess every last part of of him.He has gone out in great fury and annilated many and even more he will defeat. Yet soon he will come to his end and no one will be there to help him.
Utter destruction will be his lot in the lake of fire.
Oh kings of the earth choose this day whom you will serve.
The everlasting king of kings Jesus Christ.
