1. Isolate

   Isolate is the second full-length studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band Circus Maximus. The album was released on October 24, 2007 in Japan, August, 2007 in Europe and September 4, 2007 in the US. The cover-art for the album as well as a sample track containing an excerpt from the song "Wither", was released by the band on May 29, 2007 on the official Circus Maximus website. Like its former album, Isolate contains the same number of tracks and also track 4 is an Instrumental. Isolate is also the first album to feature new keyboardist Lasse Finbråten after Espen Storø's departure at the end of recording of The 1st Chapter. Lasse Finbråten added more keyboard/synthesizer sounds to the album in both soloing and overall use. This is different to the previous album as Espen Storø's sound centered around the use of the piano. The album entered the Norwegian national charts at number 70 in August, 2007.

Examples of isolate in a Sentence

1. Governor Andrew Cuomo:

   The testing which is informing us as to who can go back to work, helping us isolate people, it's about testing.

2. Carla Perissinotto:

   I don't think the solution of totally being devoid of social contact is the answer, yes, there is some prudence we need to have in social distancing, but we also have to be careful to not isolate more -- it can be very detrimental.

3. Dr. Steven Lee:

   Figuring out the purpose of why you want to pursue a mission can be daunting, but analyzing the three key components of a need, the skills you have, and what you love to do, can help isolate your ultimate reason for why you are doing what you are doing. In my case, those concentric topics merged together to create isolate my purpose: to enhance eye care through technological innovation.

4. Robin Simcox:

   Pathways out of extremism are very rarely instantaneous. It can take years for former extremists to fully disengage from this ideology. Expecting someone who was fighting alongside ISIS one day to be a legitimate ally in the fight against Islamist extremism the day after is an unrealistic expectation, the increasingly popular idea that we should not jail terrorists because that would only make them even more radical shows how utterly backwards this entire debate can become. Yes, prison radicalization does exist. However, the answer is to deal with the conditions that create prison radicalization – an inability to isolate charismatic Islamist recruiters, for example – not stop sending those who broke the law to prison.

5. RJ Intindola:

   Being a great leader requires several attributes. Leadership includes both rewarding and difficult attributes. You must possess the strength to make tough decisions that may isolate you for a period. And yet, have empathy and understanding of others. You must be able to listen to alternatives regarding your decisions and seriously consider them. If you practice from both a standpoint of strength and compassion, people may not always agree with your decisions, but they will respect you.
