title: OPEC Reference Basket

abstract:
The OPEC Reference Basket (ORB), also referred to as the OPEC Basket, is a weighted average of prices for petroleum blends produced by OPEC members. It is used as an important benchmark for crude oil prices. OPEC has often attempted to keep the price of the OPEC Basket between upper and lower limits, by increasing and decreasing production. This makes the measure important for market analysts. The OPEC Basket, including a mix of light and heavy crude oil products, is heavier than both Brent crude oil, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil. Since January 1, 2017, the OPEC reference basket consists of a weighted average of the following crudes:
  - Saharan Blend
  - Girassol
  - Oriente
  - Rabi Light
  - Iran Heavy
  - Basra Light
  - Kuwait Export
  - Es Sider
  - Bonny Light
  - Qatar Marine

title: Prageeth Eknaligoda

abstract: Prageeth Ekneligoda born April 9, 1960, is a Sri Lankan Cartoonist, Political analyst and Journalist. He was reported missing on January 24, 2010, two days before the Presidential polls in Sri Lanka when the country was under the Presidency of Mahinda Rajapaksa and has not been seen since. He actively participated in the presidential campaign of common opposition candidate Sarath Fonseka while working as a freelance journalist for a pro-opposition website Lankaenews.com. Members of his family believe he has been abducted by pro-government supporters because he was investigating the alleged use of chemical weapons, charges that were denied by the government of Sri Lanka. In 2009 Amnesty International released information regarding the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Reporters without borders has issued a statement concerning him. The investigation into his disappearance is being led by the Colombo Crimes Division. He is married to human rights activist Sandya Eknaligoda who was given an International Women of Courage Award in 2017 for her campaigns.

The International Federation of Journalists lists his case in its campaign "Without a Trace" amongst the top 10 cases of enforced disappearances of media workers which still remains untraced in Asia Pacific.

## Disappearance

Eknaligoda was investigating the alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians by the Sri Lankan army in the fight against the LTTE. He left his office on the evening of January 24, 2010, saying that he had to meet an old friend. He has not been seen since that. He had earlier been abducted by a White Van in August 2009 and released the next day.

## Government response

His wife Sandya Eknaligoda, his family and several activist groups have accused the Sri Lankan government of being directly responsible for his disappearance. At a meeting in the United Nations Convention Against Torture in Geneva, Sri Lanka's then Attorney General Mohan Peiris dismissed the charges against government and said that Eknaligoda has sought asylum abroad. But when questioned in the court later, he told that he does not remember who the source of his information was and that “only god knows” the whereabouts of Eknaligoda.

### Reappearance allegations

On June 5, 2013, a member of parliament claimed that Eknaligoda was living in France. Several Sri Lankan journalists in exile in France, including Manjula Wediwardana, whom that Member of parliament alleged to have taken him to meet Prageeth, vehemently denied the claims that Prageeth is living in hiding in France. French embassy in Colombo too denied any claims that Prageeth is living in France.

Free Media Movement (FMM) Convener Sunil Jayasekara in a statement on the MPs allegations told

> “We think the MP is using Parliamentary privileges and trying to mislead the people. He is claiming that a journalist had introduced Mr. Ekneligoda to him when he visited France in January this year. However the journalist Manjula Wediwardana has sent an e-mail to us saying he never met the MP in France or introduced any Mr. Ekneligoda to him,”.

## 2015 Investigation probe

In March 2015, the government launched a probe into the disappearance of Eknaligoda, but his wife expressed dissatisfaction over the government's actions. In January 2016, Bodu Bala Sena leader was arrested after he disrupted court proceedings on Eknaligoda disappearance

## Later

### Alleged leader of death squad

Major Prabath Bulathwatte, who is alleged to be the leader of a death squad that assassinated Ekneligoda, was investigating Jihadists networks in Sri Lanka at the time of his arrest and his removal from the post is believed to have allowed the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter Bombings to happen. Thus he was reinstated to his former position in May 2019 and given control of a special team directly under the Army Commander Mahesh Senanayake.

# OIC Council of Foreign Ministers Resolution 10/37

**Organisation of the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers Resolution 10/37**, titled "The aggression of the Republic of Armenia against the Republic of Azerbaijan", is a set of three Organisation of the Islamic Conference (now Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict adopted at the 37th annual session of Foreign Ministers of OIC member states on May 18–20, 2010 held in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The session was attended by 80 delegations from member states, observer states and international organizations.

## The resolutions

The document consists of three resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The first resolution is on political issues and acknowledges Armenia as an aggressor, the second one discusses financial and economic assistance to the victims of the aggression and third resolution condemns destruction of historical Islamic monuments on the territory of Azerbaijan.

### Resolution 10/37-POL

The political resolution 10/37-POL reaffirms the position of the OIC members states stated in the Resolution 10/11 adopted at OIC summit in Dakar, Senegal on March 13–14, 2008 expression concern over "aggression by the Republic of Armenia against the Republic of Azerbaijan", "the actions perpetrated against civilian Azerbaijani population in the occupied Azerbaijani territories" categorizing them "as crimes against humanity", condemns "illegal transfer of settlers of the Armenian nationality to those territories", welcomes the efforts of Kazakhstan in its capacity of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office to intensify the OSCE peace process and calls Armenia to comply with the UN Security Council Resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884, and the international community "to use such effective political and economic measures as required in order to put an end to Armenian aggression and occupation of the Azerbaijani territories".

### Resolution 6/37-E

Under the section of *Economic Assistance to the Republic of Azerbaijan* of Resolution 6/37-E for Economic Assistance to Member States and Muslim Communities in Non-OIC Countries, the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of members states confirmed their support to the government and people of Azerbaijan in a difficult time in the country's history, deplored "Armenia-backed aggressive separatism instigated in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan followed by aggression and occupation by Armenia of about 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories and resulted in violent displacement of almost one million Azerbaijani people from their homes, which, as such, resembles the terrible concept of ethnic cleansing" and due to the economic damage inflicted on Azerbaijan and its territories exceeding $60 billion, welcomed assistance extended by some of the OIC member states UN institutions and international organizations. The resolution underlined that despite the fact that Azerbaijani government was able to solve problems of refugees and IDPs, there is still a need for technical and financial assistance by donor countries for implementation of development projects targeting improvement of living conditions of IDPs.

### Resolution 2/37-C

Under the section *The Destruction and Desecration of Islamic Historical and Cultural Relics and Shrines in the Occupied Azerbaijan Territories* of Resolution No. 2/37-C On Protection of Islamic Holy Places, the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of members states expressed concern over "pieces of Azerbaijani history, culture, archaeology, and ethnography remaining in the territories occupied by Armenia" which are an integral part of Islamic heritage, reaffirmed that "the utter and barbaric destruction of mosques and other Islamic Shrines in Azerbaijan, at the hands of Armenia, for the purpose of ethnic cleansing is a crime against humanity" noted the enormous damages caused by Armenian aggression on the Islamic heritage in the Azerbaijani territories occupied by the Republic of Armenia, "including total or partial demolition of rare antiquities and places of Islamic civilization, history, and architecture, such as mosques, mausoleums, graves, archaeological excavations, museums, libraries, art exhibition halls, and government theatres and conservatories, besides the destruction and smuggling out of the country of large quantities of priceless treasures and millions of books and historic manuscripts", recognized these acts as an attempt to totally annihilate Islamic heritage in the occupied Azerbaijani territories and asserted Azerbaijan's entitlement to "adequate compensation for the damages it has sustained" and affirmed the Republic of Armenia's responsibility to pay up full compensation for such damages.

title: Power of the Night

abstract: Power of the Night is the second studio album by the American heavy metal band Savatage, released in 1985. This record was produced by Max Norman, who later went on to produce Megadeth's 1992 hit album Countdown to Extinction. The record was not originally pressed with a Parental Advisory sticker on the cover. However, Atlantic Records did have a problem with some of the sexual metaphors mentioned in "Hard for Love" and "Skull Session." It was also a marketing ploy to encourage more people to buy the record as a result of it being "banned" by some outlets. This was bassist Keith Collins's last album with the band. Jon and Criss Oliva were not completely happy with Collins' playing and corrected some of his mistakes for the final version. Collins was replaced by Johnny Lee Middleton in 1986.

*The Rough Guide to Rock* called the songs "defiant anthems of self-realization." Robert Christgau considered "We Are the One" to be the "finest U.S. indie single of 1977." *Trouser Press* wrote that "the Avengers’ original EP was a minor classic of its time, indicating that they might have become America’s best straight-ahead punk (not hardcore) band had they lasted."

title: R v Handy

abstract: R v Handy, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 908, 2002 SCC 56, is the leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on similar fact evidence. The Court proposed what is known as the Handy test for determining whether past occurrences that resemble the crime can be admitted as evidence.

# R v Handy

***R v Handy***, \[2002\] 2 S.C.R. 908, 2002 SCC 56, is the leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on similar fact evidence. The Court proposed what is known as the **Handy test** for determining whether past occurrences that resemble the crime can be admitted as evidence.

## Background

The complainant went out drinking with her friends and met James Handy whom she had known for several months. They went home together and what began as consensual sex became violent.

Handy was charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm. The Crown tried to introduce evidence of Handy's history with his ex-wife which involved seven past sexual assaults on her. The trial judge allowed it.

The issue before the Supreme Court was whether Handy's history of violence with his ex-wife is admissible as evidence.

## Ruling of the Court

Justice Binnie, writing for the Court, used this case to restate the approach to similar fact evidence. He stated that a "principled approach" must be used where the probative value must be weighed against the prejudicial effect.

When examining probative value several factors must be considered. First, the court must examine the strength of the evidence in showing that the past events actually occurred. The credibility of the witness must be considered and if there is any motive to lie must have an effect.

Second, the court must consider whether there was any potential of collusion between the witness and the claimant. If there was merely an opportunity to collude then the question is left to the jury, otherwise if there is "some evidence of collusion" then the onus is on the Crown to show on the balance of probabilities that no collusion occurred.

Third, the court must consider the scope of the issue in question. If it is a very broad issue, then the threshold for probative value will be very high. If it concerns a material issue in the trial, then it should be looked upon favourably.

Fourth, the court must consider whether the evidence supports the inference that the Crown is attempting to draw. This involves examining the similarities between the events. Factors include:

* the proximity in time between the events
* the extent to which the other events are factually similar
* the number of occurrences of the similar events
* the circumstances surrounding the events
* the distinctiveness of the events
* the existence of any intervening events

Next Binnie considered what prejudicial effects should be considered. He divided it into moral prejudice and reasoning prejudice. The moral prejudice includes evidence that will cause the jury to think that the accused is a bad person. This is particularly where the past events were acts that were more reprehensible than the current facts. The reasoning prejudice includes evidence that present a risk of distraction, confusion, and evidence that will consume too much time.

Using this test Binnie found that the evidence put forward by the Crown was inadmissible.

title: James Munro (sealer)

abstract: James Munro was a British convict who was transported to Australia, and later established himself as a farmer on Preservation Island, Tasmania, and community leader of the region's community of European seal hunters, known as "King of the Eastern Straits. Munro established himself on the island, with him and various indigenous female partners being the only inhabitants. He built structures, farmed, raised livestock, and harvested the meat and eggs of mutton birds. Munro was appointed a local constable in 1825, and opposed George Augustus Robinson's attempts to prevent relationships between sealers and Aboriginal women. It is still disputed as to how consensual those relationships were. Some argue that they were often voluntary and mutually beneficial, but Munro was accused in 1830 of leading sealers in raiding parties to capture Aboriginal women.

# James Munro (sealer)

**James Munro** (c.1779  c.1845) was a British convict who was transported to Australia, and later established himself as a farmer on Preservation Island, Tasmania, and community leader of the region's community of European seal hunters, known as "King of the Eastern Straits.

Munro established himself on the island, with him and various indigenous female partners being the only inhabitants. He built structures, farmed, raised livestock, and harvested the meat and eggs of mutton birds.

Munro was appointed a local constable in 1825, and opposed George Augustus Robinson's attempts to prevent relationships between sealers and Aboriginal women. It is still disputed as to how consensual those relationships were. Some argue that they were often voluntary and mutually beneficial, but Munro was accused in 1830 of leading sealers in raiding parties to capture Aboriginal women.

# Great Hall of the University of Leeds

The **Great Hall** is a grade II listed Gothic Revival building located at the University of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England. The building is primarily used for formal occasions such as graduation ceremonies and university students' examinations. Its undercroft was previously utilised to house the university library collections before the Brotherton Library opened in 1936. The Great Hall is one illustration of the many diverse styles of buildings on the campus of the University of Leeds; it is an example of red brick architecture associated with the term red brick university.

## History

The Great Hall is built on a site of the former Beech Grove Hall Estate, which was purchased in 1879 by the then Yorkshire College before the college joined the now defunct Victoria University (alongside the forerunners of the Universities of Manchester and Liverpool). This estate was later demolished in 1884 for it to become the site of the Clothworkers buildings of the Baines Memorial Wing and the Great Hall building itself. The buildings were designed by the late architect Alfred Waterhouse R.A (famed for his works on the Natural History Museum in London) in red pressed brick and had dressings of Bolton Wood stone in a Gothic Collegiate style.

This collegiate style used by Alfred Waterhouse helped to coin the term red brick university, a phrase first used by Edgar Allison Peers (under the pseudonym "Bruce Truscot"), a Spanish Professor at the University of Liverpool in his 1943 book *Redbrick University* when describing the Victoria Building, University of Liverpool. Since then, the six civic universities founded around 1900 independently use the term red brick university, these consist of the University of Birmingham, the University of Bristol, the University of Liverpool, the University of Leeds, the University of Manchester and the University of Sheffield.

The Gothic style Great Hall incorporated the university's main library and cost around £22,000 to build which was raised partly by public appeal. It was originally used as the main University Library until the opening of the Brotherton Library in 1936 and other areas which opened in the same period such as the Parkinson Building. As well as being the location for the ceremonial occasions, it was also used for meetings, exams and public lectures.

The Great Hall was opened in October 1894 by the Duke and Duchess of York. The panorama seen from the door of the Great Hall takes in nearly 150 years of university-related building. From the redbrick architecture of the early Clothworkers buildings to the Portland stone of the Michael Sadler arts building to the steel and glass of the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building. Leeds therefore takes its place as one of the largest and most diverse universities in the UK.

The Great Hall is still used to this day for meetings, examinations and graduation ceremonies and is one of a small cluster of buildings on the University of Leeds campus exhibiting redbrick architecture traits associated with a select number of civic universities in the United Kingdom.

title: Owen Island (South Australia)

Since 1972, the island has been part of the Lincoln National Park.

# Owen Island (South Australia)

**Owen Island**, formerly known as **Rabbit Island** and also known as **Little Taylor Island**, is an island in the Australian state of South Australia located in Spencer Gulf off the east coast of Jussieu Peninsula on Eyre Peninsula approximately. 18.7 kilometres (11.6 mi) south-east of Port Lincoln. Since 1972, the island has been part of the Lincoln National Park.

## Description

Owen Island which is located approximately 18.7 kilometres (11.6 mi) south-east of Port Lincoln and is located 460 m (1,510 ft) north of Taylor Island, has a maximum height of 12 m (39 ft). Sandy beaches exist on the island’s west side with a submerged sand spit near the island’s south-western point. Sand dominates the island with wind-blown dunes extending beyond the limits of tide and storm surges which was reported in 1996 as ‘providing a bed for a high diversity of plants. It is reported that the island is sheltered from the impact of the sea due to the closeness of the much larger Taylor Island plus the additional shelter offered by the mainland and other islands to the south. As of 1996, it is reported as being accessible by boat.

## Formation, geology and oceanography

Owen Island was formed about 6000 years ago when sea levels rose at the start of the Holocene. The island is a granite outcrop capped with a residual layer of calcarenite. The island rises from the seabed at 10 m (33 ft) within 100 m (330 ft) to 300 m (980 ft) on its east side while on its west and south side while the same transition occurs over a distance of approximately 850 m (2,790 ft). The passage between the island’s south coast and Taylor Island is relatively shallow with a maximum charted depth of 5.2 m (17 ft) due to both islands sharing the same geological base strata.

## Flora and fauna

As of 1996, the flora is reported as consisting of two distinct areas. The coastal sand supports plants such as grey saltbush, sea spurge and two-horned sea rocket. The rest of the island supports a shrubland dominated by nitre bush and saltbush. Other species observed in the shrubland included Australian hollyhock, black-anther flax lily, bower spinach, coastal lignum, karkalla, native juniper and variable groundsel. As of 1996, the fauna was reported as consisting of the following vertebrates: five species of birds including Pacific gulls, rock parrots and a breeding colony of white-faced storm petrels, and one species of reptile, the southern grass skink.

## Naming

The island was formerly known as Rabbit Island, however it was renamed under "the Crown Lands Act" around about 1960 in order to reportedly avoid confusion with the Rabbit Island located in Louth Bay. The new name acknowledged the Owen family who was leasing Taylor Island at the time of the name change. The island is known "locally known as Little Taylor Island due to its close proximity to Taylor Island."

## Protected areas status

Owen Island first obtained protected area status as a fauna conservation reserve declared under the *Crown Lands Act 1929-1966* on 16 March 1967. Since 1972, it has been part of the Lincoln National Park.

# James Peniston

**James Peniston** (born 1973) is an American sculptor whose monumental works in bronze include *Gregor Mendel* (1998), *Keys To Community* (2007), and *American Pharoah* (2017).

Peniston worked on the 2004 National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., for which he helped design the stainless-steel armature that holds up the bronze eagles and wreaths under the Atlantic and Pacific arches.

Peniston is also a cofounder and arts director of Studio 34: Yoga Healing Arts, a yoga and creative arts center in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

## Works

*Keys,* a nine-foot bronze bust that portrays Benjamin Franklin turning to greet a visitor, sits at the front of Girard Fountain Park in the Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The sculpture was commissioned in 2003 by the city's arts agency and was unveiled and dedicated on October 5, 2007. It replaced *Penny Franklin,* an acrylic sculpture by Reginald E. Beauchamp that was covered with 80,000 pennies collected from local schoolchildren, and which had deteriorated and been removed. Peniston won the commission with a proposal that echoed the spirit of the older work. Over two years, the sculptor visited two dozen Philadelphia elementary schools, where he talked about Franklin's activities as a community-builder. He also asked the students to bring in a spare key to be worked into the sculpture, and ultimately collected more than 1,000 keys. "The keys, worked into the statue's surface, are meant to represent the role of community organizers, donors and volunteers in making projects around the city possible," wrote one local newspaper. Even more students became involved through a penny drive mounted by the Philadelphia Fire Department, which collected some 1.8 million pennies in 500 local schools to help fund the casting. The firefighters also added their own touch to the sculpture: When the molten bronze was poured for the work, they cast in brass nameplates representing fallen colleagues from four centuries of service.

*Mendel*, a seven-foot bronze statue that portrays pioneering geneticist Gregor Mendel holding a peapod, was commissioned by Villanova University, installed in 1998, and stands in the courtyard at the front of the university's Mendel Science Center.

*American Pharoah,* a life-sized bronze sculpture of the 2015 Triple Crown-winning racehorse and jockey Victor Espinoza, was commissioned by Charles Cella to commemorate the horse's two victories at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. In preparation for sculpting, Peniston visited and photographed the horse with the permission of trainer Bob Baffert. The sculpture was cast in 2017 at Laran Bronze outside Philadelphia and installed on January 11, 2018, at the entrance to Oaklawn's newly renovated grandstand. "James Peniston's full-scale, full-stride statue of American Pharoah \[is\] a perfect duplicate — down to its bulging muscles and veins — of the 3-year-old colt as he carried himself and jockey Victor Espinoza in the winter and spring of 2015 toward Triple Crown glory," the *Arkansas Democrat-Gazette* wrote.

Marquam Nature Park includes part of the Marquam Trail, which connects to the 40-Mile Loop. The natural area includes many native plant species, including bigleaf maple, Douglas fir, red cedar, and western hemlock. The park's entrance features a shelter with interpretive displays and maps. The volunteer organization called Friends of Marquam Nature Park formed in 1968 after neighbors of the park successfully prevented housing development on Marquam Ravine.

# Exitium

**Exitium** was an American grind band from Norman, Oklahoma, United States, formed in September 2001 by Kirk Kirkwood, Andy Beard, Justin Jones, Brandon Carrigan, and Brian Carrigan. They released two studio albums: *Mechanical Expressions of Purpose* in 2004 on Compulsive Blasphemer Records (now Debello Records), and *Outsourcing Morality* in 2006 on Deepsend Records. Justin resigned from the band in 2007.

Exitium played well over a hundred shows in the Midwest, including the Gathering of the Sick festival in 2006, and performed with many other international metal bands.

## History

Exitium was formed in September 2001 by Justin Jones, Kirk Kirkwood, Brian Carrigan (drums, formerly of Humanicide), Brandon Carrigan (vocals, formerly of Humanicide), and Andy Beard (bass, formerly of Biomass). A year of live performances was followed by the recording of a full-length album "Mechanical Expressions of Purpose" in July 2002 at Soundpaige studios in Norman, OK. The album was eventually released on Compulsive Blasphemer Records. The band then started writing and rehearsing material for their second full-length album, which became 'Outsourcing Morality'.

Exitium amassed an underground following with performances in neighboring states such as Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Missouri and Colorado. Exitium entered the studio December 17 of 2004 to record their second full-length album with Kill the Client bassist James Delgado engineering the sessions in Garland, TX. Exitium's sophomore effort was received as much more diverse and technically adept work than the previous album.

After the album had been recorded, vocalist Brandon Carrigan left the band. He was replaced by guitarist Justin Jones who moved to vocals. Cody Stanley (guitar, formerly of Biomass) then filled Justin's spot. *Outsourcing Morality* was released on Deepsend Records June 20, 2006. Shortly after the album’s release, second guitarist Cody Stanley was fired from the group. In April 2007, the band underwent yet another line-up change when Brian Carrigan resigned from the group in order to form Nahurak. This left Kirk Kirkwood, and bassist Andy Beard to sign on session drummer Eric Park of ex-Devourment / Wrought of Obsidian to record a new full-length album tentatively titled "Grind After Death." After several years with no updates the album was seemingly abandoned with no official statement.

In June 2011, Kirk and Andy attempted to revamp the band once again, and reportedly hired Zach Mansur of Uranium Death Crow and Humanicide (OK) to play drums on a potential new album. Cody Stanley was reportedly brought back on as a second guitarist. Andy Beard was also reported to have stepped up to fill the empty vocal position. The new lineup attempted to reform and record, but the sessions were unsuccessful and the band eventually ceased with no official statement being released.

## Discography

### *Mechanical Expressions of Purpose*

Between 2001 and 2002, the band wrote the material for *Mechanical Expressions of Purpose*. It was recorded at Sound Paige Studios in Norman, OK. The album mixes elements of crust-punk, grindcore, and Swedish death metal. The production is raw and grainy, with constant vocal changes and the short song-lengths typical of the genre. The lyrical content is diverse, including songs on population sustainability, cosmic apocalypse, the philosophy of military service, nightmares, the future of reason, and the hypocrisies of Christianity. One of the more popular songs on the album, “Decay of the Mind,” was based upon the experiences that vocalist Brandon Carrigan had while working in a retirement home. It was released on Compulsive Blasphemer Records in 2003, and featured art by Austin White and Robert Rogers. It was surprisingly well received by a diverse community of fans, as it was widely discussed on the Relapse Records message board.

### *Outsourcing Morality*

In December 2004, the band recorded the album *Outsourcing Morality* in Garland, Texas. It was engineered by Kill the Client bassist, James Delgado, and mastered by Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer. It features guest vocals by “Champ” Morgan of Kill the Client, and art by Max Rodriguez and Kirk Kirkwood. It was released on Deepsend Records in 2006, and distributed internationally. This second album featured more complex songwriting and death metal influences. The guitar work had expanded its reach to include, for the first time, much more melodic movements, like “Only in Death” and “A Dying Act of Defiance.” The lyrical content was diverse and included songs about Wall Street corruption, existential philosophy, unethical corporate business practices, consumer culture, and the inherent worthlessness of human beings. It was unique in its ability to cross multiple genres, and was reviewed in publications such as Metal Edge and Terrorizer magazine. Online reviews were mixed, citing the short album length and raw production as disappointments, and several reviewers recommended it only to die-hard fans of the genre.
