Sunday Old School: Superjoint Ritual
Nov 20, 2016 at 10:14 PM by Diamond Oz.
Some musicians seemingly can't stay still for a minute. Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury for example, has also been involved with such bands as Meathook Seed, Blood From The Soul, Venemous Concept and Brujeria amongst others, while Mike Patton, famous for his vocal duties for Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, has also taken part in projects such as, Fantômas Peeping Tom and Tomahawk, in addition to a lengthy list of other groups. Another of these musicians, is former Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo, known also for his work with Down, Viking Crown, Christ Inversion and today's featured band, Superjoint.
Superjoint was formed under the name Superjoint Ritual in 1993 by Anselmo, along with Joe Fazzio, and Jimmy Bower with the trio soon to be joined by Hank Williams III. The quartet were mostly influenced by hardcore punk such as Black Flag and Minor Threat, though a trace of black metal can also be heard in their sound too, with the band taking particular inspiration from Venom and Darkthrone, with the latter providing the name Superjoint Ritual via a line in their song, "The Pagan Winter."

Superjoint Posts New Video
Nov 17, 2016 at 4:00 PM by xFiruath.
This past Friday, Superjoint unleashed the debauched "Caught Up In The Gears Of Application" full-length album (still streaming in full here).
The band's first proper studio offering in over a decade, the thirty-eight-minute punisher spews forth an acrimonious crossover of hardcore punk, metal, and uncompromising, antagonistic, New Orleans-style angst (check out our review).
A new video for "Caught Up In The Gears Of Application" was captured at various locations in Louisiana including the historic district of Old Kenner, the Blue Nile in New Orleans, and the Housecore compound.
The clip was directed by Kate Richardson courtesy of Housecore Records, and shot and edited by Mike Holderbeast with production by Carolyn Babauta. Elaborates Superjoint's Philip H. Anselmo cryptically, "The video is supposed to be as ridiculously abstract as the song itself. But regardless, it makes its ridiculous point(s) dreadfully well." More...
Superjoint Streaming Full New Album
The wait is finally over: today marks the official release of "Caught Up In The Gears Of Application," Superjoint's first new full-length in over a decade (reviewed here).
An acrimonious crossover of hardcore punk, metal, and uncompromising, hostile, New Orleans-style angst, the follow-up to 2003's "Lethal Dose Of American Hatred" was captured at the famed Nodferatu's Lair. You can now stream all the tracks below as the album sees release today.
Superjoint will level the stage of Gas Monkey Live in Dallas this Saturday for an official record release show and only U.S. appearance of 2016. Support will be provided by Tombs, Warbeast, Wolvhammer, and Protest. More...
Superjoint Streams New Album's Title Song
Nov 2, 2016 at 3:33 PM by xFiruath.
In less than two weeks, Superjoint will unleash the sonic deviance of the "Caught Up In The Gears Of Application" full-length. Captured at the famed Nodferatu's Lair, the eleven-track recording marks the band's first new output since 2003's "Lethal Dose Of American Hatred."
Produced by Superjoint co-founder Philip H. Anselmo and Stephen Berrigan, and mastered by Scott Hull at Visceral Sounds, "Caught Up In The Gears Of Application" spews forth an acrimonious crossover of hardcore punk, metal, and unrelenting, hostile, New Orleans-style angst.
As a precursor to the record's official unveiling, today the rabid sounds of title track "Caught Up In The Gears Of Application" comes online. Reflects Anselmo, "The title track pretty much sums up the overall feel of the LP. It speaks for itself, loudly, clearly, and passionately, whatever a person's definition of that would be. Let the music do the talking and shape the lyrics to fit your own life." More...

We worked with the homeowners of this home to design and install a brand new kitchen. Wanting to make the most of their open plan space we designed a C shaped kitchen adding lots of storage, a central island and a place for the washing machine.
Looking for modern low maintenance kitchen we designed a light grey gloss handle-less door with a bright white sparkle worktop. Throughout the kitchen we installed colour matched plinths and worktops keeping the design consistent and modern throughout.
In the corner of the kitchen is some boxed in pipes that create a difficult service to workaround, we created a bespoke top cabinet and adjusted the bottom cabinets to work around this. Stainless steel tap and cooker hob work well with the modern style of this kitchen and are also easy to clean.
If you would like to book a free, no obligation consultation and 3D design service, please complete the form below and a member of our sales team will contact you shortly.

Those warm and sultry summer days are gone! Now, they are slowly being replaced by the pleasant evenings, and they are beacons for the upcoming winter season. What is the best way to rejuvenate your senses on a chilly winter evening? It's surely got to be sipping away at a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. Just imagine, sitting in your veranda with a hot cup of drink in the hand and spending a truly relaxing time. Sounds heavenly, doesn't it? Today we would throw light on some of the innovative hot drink recipes.
White hot chocolate is really simple to prepare at home. All you need is Niryas Full Cream Milk, vanilla extract, and white chocolate. Stir these in a cup and then add some whipped cream as a topping. A perfect treat, when you feel reluctant to venture out.
This is a low-calorie drink. To prepare this drink you will require some gelatin, matcha powder, raw honey and coconut milk. Mix a teaspoon of the matcha powder in boiling water and later add gelatin. Mix the contents until it gets smooth. Before completing, add some warm coconut milk and raw honey. You are ready to sip away at this healthy drink.
Are you ready to prepare Chai Latte at home? To prepare this hot drink all you need is black tea, spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black peppercorn, ginger, and honey) and Niryas Tea Special Milk. Add all the ingredients in boiling water and you are ready to enjoy this aromatic drink.
What a combination – hot chocolate blended with ice cream! If it already sounds delicious, let us tell you the recipe. Prepare the hot chocolate using Niryas Full Cream Milk and then add some mint flavored ice cream over the preparation. Add whipped cream as a topping. If you do not like mint, you may experiment with chocolate ice cream too.
This treat from Mexico is a perfect way to keep yourself warm on those chilly days. The preparation needs a few simple ingredients. Start the preparation by mixing brown sugar, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon and powdered milk in a bowl. Store it in a jar, add some hot Niryas milk before having it. This is a quick hot drink you can have anytime.
As you would find most of the above mentioned hot drinks are simple to prepare at home, but their taste is largely dictated by the choice of milk. This is why you should try the Niryas milk products while preparing them at home.


On behalf of The Law Office of Theresa L. McConville posted in Trusts on Tuesday, August 15, 2017.
From an estate planning perspective, creating a trust may be the best decision you can make. As you begin to learn more about this option, it's important to focus on what you should and should not be doing.
Assuming that a will is better than a trust. This may be true for some, but you shouldn't make this determination until you learn more about the details of both.
Neglecting to update your trust. Just the same as a will, you may need to make changes to your trust as the years go by. You should expect this to be the case.
Ignoring other aspects of your estate plan. Although you may be happy with what a trust can do for you, don't overlook other aspects of your estate plan, such as a power of attorney, that are just as important.
Choosing the wrong person to administer your trust. This is no simple task, so you need to be careful about who you choose to take on this big responsibility.
These are just a few of the many mistakes people often make when creating a trust. As you get started, you should do whatever you can to avoid these mistakes.
When you make the right decisions today, you'll feel much better about the future. A trust is a great estate planning tool, but only if it's used in the appropriate manner. Don't ever make a final decision until you are completely confident that you're doing the right thing.

I have never before enjoyed such a cornucopia of drinks on holiday. Phuket is definitely beverage heaven.
That first morning, straight off the plane from London (via Bangkok), we limped down a hot, hectic street into The Outdoor Restaurant (that's what it's actually called) and I spotted a sign saying: watermelon shake 50 baht.
Too hot for coffee (I like cold beverages when it's 30 degrees outside), I ordered my first of many, many shakes. A tall glass of what was basically liquid watermelon was placed in front of me and I was sold.
Shakes in Phuket are made from loads of fresh fruit, a dash of sugar syrup and plenty of ice, all blended together. So simple. To give you an idea of their fruitiness, the tomato one had four large plum tomatoes in it.
The chef/patron, general all-round hard worker at our little restaurant on the beach, The Cartoon Shop (more of that later) was the king of the shake. Every morning I made it my mission to try a different one and just about got through the list. My favourite two were papaya and watermelon…but they were all amazing.
Before I even had my first shake of the day, there was the juice at breakfast to look forward to. Each morning something different presented itself. First it was butterfly pea juice – and it was blue! Made from the flower of the butterfly pea plant it's packed with antioxidants – a little bit sweet for me but I polished it off for the sake of my health.
We also sipped on chrysanthemum juice, rosella juice and Bengal quince juice to get going in the mornings. Bengal quince came with a sign which says it all, really.
You'll also find some seriously good coffee in Kata Beach. We love our coffee fix so sought a good coffee shop out and soon had a favourite. As well as serving the coffees you'd expect, their menu was a joy to pore over. My favourite was the iced latte, exactly what it said it was, no cream or anything else added, just chilled latte – heaven.
Terry swore by the cappuccinos (he can do hot beverages in hot weather) and one day I even tasted a lemongrass water – really refreshing and no doubt health-giving again.
Now on to alcoholic drinks. No holiday is complete without a gin and tonic before dinner. Our favourite from Re Kata a stunning beach club where we also had dinner one night (blog coming soon). Loved the lemongrass stick, this is g&t Thai style.
Hot weather, sandy feet and mouthfuls of saltwater while swimming in the delightfully warm and clear Andaman Sea brings on the need for a cold beer. Thailand's famous Singha beer is wonderfully refreshing and served properly chilled to bring your temperature down immediately.
And then of course there's a myriad of cocktails. On the down side wine is expensive, expect to pay at least £20 for a bottle of red in a restaurant. We tended to drink Chillean or Argentinian at that sort of price and they were perfectly acceptable.
What am I going to drink now I'm back in London? One thing's for sure, my daily beverage choices aren't going to be the same. Thank you Thailand for the best drinks ever.


Remember when so many of you asked me if I knew of a show that's similar to A Love So Beautiful? Back then, I felt like nothing really fit the bill, but now, I can finally say that this lil show does feel like it's a reasonably close relative of A Love So Beautiful.
It's true that this one's much more about friendship and family than it is about romantic love, but the world in which these characters live feels like it's plausibly just a couple of neighborhoods away from A Love So Beautiful's drama world, in the same nostalgic time period to boot. Both big plus points for me personally. I'll admit that these characters didn't come alive for me right away like the characters in A Love So Beautiful did, but I can honestly say that by series' end, they'd gotten deep enough under my skin, that I was sincerely reluctant to say goodbye.
Which is why I think that if you loved A Love So Beautiful, then this one's solidly worth a look.

Have you ever been hearts-in-eyes infatuated with someone – charmed by their good looks, sweet words, and thoughtful chivalry – only to be later disappointed by their glaring flaws, on deeper acquaintance? Whether it was with a real-life crush or with a celebrity Oppa, I feel like many of us would likely have felt this way at some point in our lives.
That feeling, my friends, is how I felt, watching this drama. For Show's first half, I was very much smitten, and gobbled up episodes back-to-back, pacing myself only because I sincerely dreaded running out of new episodes. The bum thing was, Show became a lot less cracky for a good chunk of its second half. On the upside, Show comes back with a reasonably solid finale, so it wasn't all downhill.

Do you enjoy rollercoasters? Coz if you do, The Last Empress might just be the show for you.
At its best, and right out of the gate, Show is a fun romp rife with makjang plot points, logic stretches and murderous intent (it's all about the lens, which I'll talk about very shortly). I personally think the extension didn't do Show any favors, coz Show spins its wheels a fair bit in its later stretch, which is a serious pity. On the upside, Show wraps up in a reasonably solid manner, and I'm emerging on the other side without regretting my watch.
That's not bad, all things considered.

My inflight adventures continue, my friends, and today I met a movie that I wanted to tell you guys about, coz it's cute, and there's enough heart in here to bring on a nice case of the feels.
Ok, but seriously, this movie is a sweet lil one, which I hope you guys will like.

I almost missed out on this one, you guys, and I'm so glad I didn't.
I first attempted this drama when it was airing last year, but the timing just wasn't right for me. I was in the midst of trying to get myself out of a bit of a drama rut at the time, and unlike my usual more patient self, I was much quicker to decide whether I was feeling a drama or not. Unfortunately, as some of you would likely know, the other bum thing about a drama rut, is that you often just don't feel a drama, even if said drama is very decent. Same thing for me, with this show. I gave this show a try while it was airing, and didn't even make it through episode 1. Oopsie.

So, funny story, you guys.
I was late to the party, and started my watch of this show when everyone else was well into Show's middle stretch. I struggled enough with Hyun Bin's character in this show's first two episodes, that I was legit on the brink of dropping this show. And then, Show ended, and there was such a heated furore among viewers for Show's reportedly terrible-horrible-couldn't-be-worse-let's-boycott-this-writer-forever ending, that I was so sure that I had dodged a bullet.
But then, I saw a couple of tweets by viewers who actually felt satisfied with Show's ending. Well, now. That sure got my attention. If you've been around the blog for a while, you might know that I've been known to, on at least several occasions in the past, buck general audience trends by feeling completely differently about certain shows versus the majority of viewers. It was like that when I started the blog in 2012 (my first ever post was for Operation Proposal, which I really liked – and which most people hated), and it was like that recently too, when I'd been very solidly satisfied with the ending of The Third Charm – which most people also hated.
So this curious cat (with a reasonable amount of FOMO) decided to do an experiment. Instead of dropping the show, I adjusted my viewing lens using all the fragments of information I had, and jumped in for a marathon. The big question I wanted to put to the test was: With the right expectations and the right lens adjustment, would this show – could this show – actually turn out to be, well, good?

Imma be honest; the reason I started this show was because I have a huge soft spot for Doo Joon playing Goo Dae Young, and my unreasonable desire to be loyal to Dae Young, is why I stayed till the very end.
If you've been around the blog for a while, you'd likely know that I really enjoyed Let's Eat and Let's Eat 2. Sigh. I'm sorry to say that Let's Eat 3 wasn't quite the heartfelt foodie romp that I was hoping for, and I'm feeling generally quite underwhelmed, now that I've finished my watch.
I have a few thoughts about this one, so let's break it all down a little bit, shall we? I'll be brief(ish). I promise.

Supreme Court broadens the rights of criminal defendants
Home / Supreme Court broadens the rights of criminal defendants
We often write about the ways in which the legal system constrains the rights of criminal defendants. However, those who are forced to mount a criminal defense received more protections rather than fewer in a recent Supreme Court ruling.
The Court held that the Constitution protects the rights of defendants to have effective legal counsel during the plea negotiation phase of the criminal defense process.
Plea bargaining has long been treated as an informal process, and is therefore largely unregulated. However, the prevalence of plea bargaining within the system led to a 5-4 decision which upholds the rights of defendants at this part of the process.
Anthony Kennedy, who authored the majority opinion, wrote that, "Criminal justice today is for the most part a system of pleas, not a system of trials. The right to adequate assistance of counsel cannot be defined or enforced without taking account of the central role plea bargaining takes in securing convictions and determining sentences."
This is an especially important ruling for those who receive bad legal advice during plea bargaining. Just as defendants are entitled to adequate professional counsel during trial, they are now considered entitled to this right during plea bargaining.
Should bad legal advice cause a defendant to reject a favorable plea deal, the courts will now be able to remedy the situation in certain ways, depending on the case.
Some have noted that the Court's holding will lead to an increase in claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and challenges to plea bargain agreements as a result. However, if such an increase leads to justice for those with legitimate claims, the Court's ruling is all the more important and advantageous for every citizen.

The Forgotten 'Pylon Poet': Stanley Snaith's Vision of Modernity
In this week's Dispatches from The Secret Library, Dr Oliver Tearle celebrates a neglected voice in modern poetry
The 'Pylon Poets' was the name given to a group of British poets writing in the 1930s, poets whose work deals with technological modernity. The poem which inspired the name of this 'school' of poets was Stephen Spender's 'The Pylons', which is itself an enigmatic poem whose legacy is more famous than the poem itself.
But Spender's wasn't the only 'pylon poem' written in the 1930s about these new industrial features of the English landscape. The forgotten English poet Stanley Snaith also wrote a poem about them.
The name Stanley Snaith, it's fair to say, isn't exactly a famous one in the world of twentieth-century English verse. He doesn't even have a Wikipedia page (not even a 'stub'), and his name is absent from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB). But let's sketch out a few of the (sketchy) details of his life. Born in 1903, Snaith worked as a librarian and was also a keen mountaineer (one of the first results that comes up following a quick Google search of his name is this 1937 Spectator review of his book detailing a number of excursions to Everest – the summit, of course, would not be reached for another sixteen years). He published a number of volumes of poetry, including April Morning in 1926 (published by Virginia Woolf's own Hogarth Press, making tracking down a copy for anything less than a king's ransom impossible), North (1934), Fieldfaring (1935), and The Flowering Thorn (1946). Stanley Snaith died in 1976.
I encountered Stanley Snaith's name, and his poetry, in an old anthology, Modern Poetry, 1922-1934, which a colleague of mine gave to me. Compiled by Maurice Wollman, the anthology charts the dozen years in English poetry following the publication of The Waste Land, leading up to the arrival of a distinctive new kind of poetry, the poetry of the 'Thirties Poets' and of Dylan Thomas (whose first volume appeared in 1934), a new generation of poets who brought distinctive new voices, voices which replaced the modernism of T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and others from the 1920s. 'Pylons', the poem I've chosen to reproduce below, is from 1933, when pylons had only just started to appear among the fields and meadows of England.
Over the tree'd upland evenly striding,
One after one they lift their serious shapes
That ring with light. The statement of their steel
Contradicts Nature's softer architecture.
Earth will not accept them as it accepts
A wall, a plough, a church so coloured of earth
It might be some experiment of the soil's.
Yet are they outposts of the trekking future.
Into the thatch-hung consciousness of hamlets
They blaze new thoughts, new habits. Traditions
Are being trod down like flowers dropped by children.
Already that farm-boy striding and throwing seed
In the shoulder-hinged half-circle Millet knew,
Looks grey with antiquity as his dead forbears,
A half familiar figure out of the Georgics,
Unheeded by these new-world, rational towers.
Written in irregular blank verse, Snaith's poem takes a critical position towards these new industrial interlopers: the
pylons represent 'new thoughts, new habits' which threaten the traditions of the past, which are 'being trod down like flowers dropped by children'. The harsh alliteration, almost spat out, of 'statement of their steel' plays off against the internal rhyme in the next line between 'Nature' and 'architecture'. The phrase 'thatch-hung consciousness of hamlets' is good, neatly combining a physical image of Olde England with the deep-rooted ideas we have about Englishness ('hamlets' summons the traditional English village, as well as half-hinting at the thatched world of Shakespeare's England, thanks to the suggestion of Hamlet), while the later reference to Virgil's Georgics underscores the superannuated look and feel of this old England now the pylons have arrived.
Stanley Snaith doesn't deserve his obscurity: at the very least, he should be accorded a modicum of immortality for being part of a new generation of poets who succeeded the high point of modernism in the 1920s, and wrote powerfully about the new world that the arrival of the pylons signalled. Unfortunately, there is no volume of his selected poems available, far less a collected poems. It's very difficult to find his poems online. This blog post is an attempt to redress the neglect that has plagued Snaith for many decades. Perhaps one day more of his poetry will be available again.

This is a gem by someone completely unknown to me. Thank you so much for your article:)
Thank you! I'm glad you like it – I was intrigued by the fact that someone other than Spender had written a pylon poem, and what a poem it is :)

Had never heard of this poet, but obviously I'm not alone. Great detective work! It's interesting how some people just fade into complete obscurity.
Thank you! It was a real surprise to discover him. Just as well he wrote that pylon poem! I'm trying to track down more of his poems through old first editions online, so I may blog about him again in future :)

The British Coatings Federation (BCF) has launched its new Coatings Careers Hub, a digital resource promoting the careers opportunities in the coatings, printing inks and wallcoverings industries.
This initiative was stimulated following increasing support from BCF members for a better, more accessible resource to careers in the industry.
A focal point of the hub is the jobs board, which showcases vacancies at BCF member companies.
Advertising vacancies on the Careers Hub is free for current BCF members.
The hub also works to promote apprenticeships and the Coatings Training Institute, helping aspiring students to explore the industry in a way that best suits their needs.
Finally, the hub features a video series of coatings industry professionals, demonstrating what a career in coatings actually entails.
Commenting on the hub, BCF's Head of Marketing, Tania Morrill said: "As a crucial part of our remit as a Federation, we are increasing our efforts to promote opportunities in the coatings, printing inks and wallcoverings industries to the next generation of talent.
"Regular feedback that we receive from students, is that it's often difficult to find opportunities within our sectors, amongst the sea of job postings on jobs board platforms.

Rasputin ist ein deutscher Spielfilm aus dem Jahre 1932 von Adolf Trotz mit Conrad Veidt in der Titelrolle.

Handlung
Der Mönch Grigorij Rasputin hat sich in dem sibirischen Dorf Pokrowskoje einen Ruf als Wunderheiler, aber auch als Frauenheld und -verführer erarbeitet, der weit über Sibiriens Grenzen hinausgeht. Selbst von Luscha, der Tochter des ortsansässigen Großbauern, konnte er seine Finger nicht lassen. Doch diese Verführung scheint eine zu viel. Luschas Vater beklagt sich beim Bischof Tobolsk über Rasputin, der daraufhin das sibirische Dorf besucht, um Ermittlungen gegen Rasputin aufzunehmen. Doch erscheinen Rasputins wundersame Heilungstaten stärker als seine ausufernde Libido – jedenfalls bildet sich rasch ein Pilgerzug zahlreicher von Rasputins heilenden Händen überzeugter Einwohner, sodass der Bischof beschließt, den abtrünnigen Mönch auf seine Reise ins ferne Sankt Petersburg mitzunehmen.

Am Zarenhof der russischen Hauptstadt hat man gleichfalls von Rasputins magischen Händen gehört. Als er den ständig kränkelnden Zarewitsch Alexej, liebevoll Aljoscha genannt, an seinem Bettchen aufsucht, ihn an seinen Händen hält und sanft mit ihm spricht ("Tut nicht mehr weh … gesund bist du!"), ein Liedchen singt und schließlich mit ihm Händeabklatschen spielt, scheint der noch soeben moribund wirkende Junge auf einmal putzmunter. Die Zarenfamilie ist beeindruckt, vor allem aber Zarin Alexandra verfällt rasch der Fama, bei Rasputin handele es sich um einen wahren Magier des Heilens. Unter ihrem kaiserlichen Schutz kann der sibirische Mönch in Russlands Hauptstadt nun Schalten und Walten wie es ihm gefällt. Sein Wartezimmer ist mit "Hoffnungslosen" gefüllt, die sich durch ihn Heilung versprechen. In jeder freien Minute verführt Rasputin die Frauen wie etwa die schöne Nina Iwanowa, und er lässt kaum ein Gelage aus. Sein Einfluss auf die Herrscherin wird von zahlreichen Vertretern der staatlichen Gewalt, allen voran von hohen Regierungsvertretern, mit größtem Argwohn beobachtet.

Vertreter hoher Offizierskreise beginnen eine Verschwörung gegen ihn anzuzetteln. Diesen schließt sich aus ganz persönlichen Gründen der junge Leutnant Suschkoff an, der auf einer im Laufe des Abends ausufernden Feier mit ansehen muss, wie seine Braut Musja ihn ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken stehen lässt, als Rasputin plötzlich erscheint. Nach nur einem Wimperschlag verfällt die junge Frau mit Haut und Haaren. Rasputin blickt ihr tief in die Augen und sagt ihr beim ersten Kennenlernen nur: "Du hast eine schöne Seele, Kind". Dann folgt Musja ihm während Rasputin ihren Verlobten Suschkoff ganz en passant von der Seite mit den Worten "Und du hast schlechte Gedanken" abfertigt. Ein erster Attentatsversuch Suschkoffs scheitert. Die Verschwörer beschließen, professioneller vorzugehen, müssen aber darauf achten, dass kein Sterbenswörtchen von dem Plan nach außen zur Zarin vordringt. Der Zar weiß nur zu gut, dass der erste Anschlag auf Rasputin von Regierungsbeamten gedeckt und gefördert worden ist. Er rät Rasputin, sich selbst aus der Schusslinie zu bringen und vorübergehend nach Pokrowskoje zurückzukehren.

Dort gerät Luscha augenblicklich wieder in Rasputins Bann. Es kommt zu einem ernsten Schlagabtausch zwischen dem Mönch und Luschas Vater, infolgedessen der Wunderheiler lange Zeit das Krankenbett hüten muss. Als im August 1914 der Erste Weltkrieg ausbricht, folgt Rasputin dem Ruf des Zaren und kehrt an den Hof zurück. Die sich bald für Russland dramatisch verschlechternde Kriegslage führt dazu, dass man dem Mönch daran die Schuld gibt. Rasputins Einfluss auf die Zarenfamilie hat nun ihren Höhepunkt erreicht, und im Dezember 1916 beschließt eine Gruppe von Offizieren, angeführt von Fürst Jussupow, einem engen Vertrauten sowohl der Zarenfamilie als auch Rasputins, den Mönch zu töten. Jussupow vergiftet den Wein, den er Rasputin reicht. Dieser trinkt ihn, und Jussupow spielt und singt dazu melancholische, altrussische Weisen. Doch das Gift scheint dem Mönch nichts auszumachen, er genießt weiterhin Jussupows Gesang. Auch als dieser Wein nachschüttet, verfehlt das Gift weiterhin seine Wirkung. Dann schießt der Fürst auf Rasputin, doch dieser fällt nicht um. Der Mönch läuft ins Freie, wo zwei weitere Mörder, darunter der antisemitische Duma-Abgeordnete Purischkewitsch, auf ihn warten. Am schmiedeeisernen, verschlossenen Gartentor ist für den taumelnden Rasputin Endstation. Hier wird er von Purischkewitsch mit weiteren Schüssen endgültig niedergestreckt.

Produktionsnotizen, Hintergründe, Wissenswertes
Rasputin, auch geführt unter dem Titel Rasputin, der Dämon der Frauen, war der erste Tonfilm, der sich dem russischen Mönch und Wunderheiler thematisch annahm. Die Außenaufnahmen fanden im Dezember 1931 statt, die Atelieraufnahmen begannen am 20. Januar 1932. Noch am selben Tag, an dem Rasputin die Zensur passierte, wurde der Film in Berlin (Capitol) uraufgeführt (19. Februar 1932). Nach dem Krieg wurde der Film am 16. Dezember 1986 im zweiten Programm des DDR-Fernsehens erstmals gezeigt. Zuvor hatten ebenfalls nur die Deutschen einen Rasputin-Film ("Rasputins Liebesabenteuer"), einen Stummfilm von und mit Exilrussen, hergestellt.

Die Filmbauten wurden von Gustav A. Knauer und Walter Reimann entworfen bzw. ausgeführt. Die Kostüme stammen von Leopold Verch. Alfred Norkus sorgte für den Ton. Leo de Laforgue war einer von zwei Regieassistenten.

Für die gebürtige Russin Alexandra Sorina war der Part einer Hofdame die einzige Tonfilmrolle. Für Elza Temáry bedeutete die schöne Nina Iwanowa die letzte Rolle in einem abendfüllenden Spielfilm. Der ehemalige Stuart-Webbs-Stummfilmdetektiv Ernst Reicher spielte in dem Film seine letzte (mittlerweile sehr klein gewordene) Rolle in einer deutschen Produktion.

Unmittelbar nach Ende der Dreharbeiten begann auch Hollywood einen Rasputin-Stoff zu produzieren: Rasputin: Der Dämon Rußlands.

Wie später bei Rasputin: Der Dämon Rußlands kam es auch bei Rasputin zu einer Klage durch ein Mitglied der Familie des Rasputin-Mörders Fürst Jussupoff. Der Fürst höchstselbst ließ die Produktionsfirma und das Uraufführungstheater durch einen Rechtsanwalt auffordern, "eine ihm angetan Beleidigung gutzumachen, weil er sich durch die Darstellung seiner Person im Film beleidigt fühlte. Als Verhandlungsgrundlage nannte er einen Betrag von fünfzigtausend Reichsmark."

Kritiken
In der Österreichischen Film-Zeitung war in der Ausgabe vom 27. Februar 1932 zu lesen: "Die Rolle des russischen Wundermönches wird von Conrad Veidt dargestellt. Wie keinem Zweiten sonst gelingen könnte, versteht er die innere Besessenheit dieses Menschen, die Macht seiner Persönlichkeit und die Anziehung, die von ihm ausgeht, glaubhaft zu machen. Um ihn ist eine Fülle guter Schauspieler gruppiert"

Das Lexikon des internationalen Films schreibt: "Ein frühes filmisches Porträt des russischen Kraft- und Machtmenschen. Das anspruchslose Drehbuch präsentiert Rasputin vor allem als Frauenverführer. Allenfalls noch von filmgeschichtlichem Interesse: Die Titelrolle spielt Conrad Veidt, der bald darauf nach England emigrierte; vergeblich bemüht er sich um eine 'dämonische' Darstellung. Auch Karl Ludwig Diehl als Jussupoff wirkt wenig glaubwürdig."

Building Information Modeling (BIM) will dominate big architectural firms within five years, and the profession in general within 10, says experts. And it will lead architects to rethink their business models.
The difference between CAD and BIM is the difference between drawings and models. In a Building Information Model, the plans are an assembly of intelligent objects linked to a database that includes pricing, specs, water and energy use, and much more. BIM is intended to ease collaboration between team members -- architects, engineers and contractors -- and greatly improve accuracy and save money by automatically generating construction documents.
There are challenges to overcome before those benefits are widely enjoyed. Proficiency and training in Building Information Modeling software (NavisWorks, Bentley, Autodesk, Vico and Tekla) are a must, and software integration among team members can be problematic. Giving team members access to the model raises liability concerns. And the automation of documents, while improving productivity, may cost firms some revenue.
The technology challenges are straightforward. Software companies are working to ease integration and develop mobile apps that will let team members access the model from the field without having full BIM capability. Young architects are being trained in BIM. Manufacturers (including Moen) are offering downloadable product files for use and ease of adoption into specifications created for use with BIM software programs.
On the liability front, contracts are evolving much as they did to accommodate design-build. "Contracts used to be a roadblock to design-build, but they have caught up," says Gordon Holness, president of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). "The same will happen with BIM."
One reason for this progress is the number of organizations advocating for BIM. For instance, ASHRAE and the International Code Council are both developing software that will read a Building Information Model to determine compliance with their standards, says Holness. Another factor is "green" building. "BIM will allow efficient energy modeling, and documentation to meet LEED and other programs," says Stan Cairns, a partner with Cope Linder Architects in Philadelphia.
The ultimate driver is BIM's proven time and money savings. Plaza Construction, a large Manhattan AEC firm, recently completed two nearly identical buildings. In one building only, it created a model for the lobby area. The time needed to solve design conflicts in that area shrank from 12 weeks to two, a savings that Plaza's Christopher Mills calls typical.
In fact, most BIM users report better ROI improvements, more efficient processes, fewer errors and better project outcomes. But taking advantage of those benefits may require architects to adapt their business practices and to think creatively about revenue. "I now price for value, not for hours," says Jernigan. "My fees have to be competitive, so I have gotten more efficient in the way I work."
A re-emphasis on creativity may indeed be the key to thriving in a BIM-dominated world. The major benefit of a Building Information Model is greater ability to visualize the physical, geometric representation of the building and analyze how the building's systems work. "When I ask architects what their biggest value is to the client, they often talk about their drawings and specifications," says Holness. But with BIM commodifying that part of the process, architects need to understand that their creativity is their real value. "What the owner wants is your intellectual property. The rest are just illustrations of that."

World reacts to terrorist attacks on two mosques in New Zealand
At least 50 people were killed after a shooter opened fire inside two mosques in Christchurch. New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said it was "one of New Zealand's darkest days."

People around the world expressed revulsion at the deadly shootings at two mosques in New Zealand on Friday as some countries revealed that their citizens had been caught up in the bloodshed.
The timing of the shootings in the city of Christchurch, during Friday prayers, and the social media posts of what appeared to be live, point-of-view video footage of the assault by a gunman added to the distress.
At least 50 people have been killed and more than 40 seriously wounded in the mass shootings.
"It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack," New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, adding it marked "one of New Zealand's darkest days."
The gunman who killed numerous worshippers in a New Zealand mosque on Friday was a right-wing terrorist with Australian citizenship, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.
"We stand here and condemn, absolutely, the attack that occurred today by an extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist," Morrison told a press conference.
He confirmed media reports that the gunman who mowed down worshippers in the main mosque in the southern New Zealand city of Christchurch was an Australian-born citizen.
He said Australian security authorities were investigating any links between the country and the attack, but declined to provide further details about the gunman.
Morrison offered his sympathies to the people of New Zealand, one of Australia's closest neighbours.
"We are not just allies, we are not just partners, we are family," he said.
Hundreds of mourners attend Sydney mosque
Mourners packed the Lakemba Mosque in Australia's biggest city Sydney to pray for the victims of the Christchurch attack.
New South Wales parliamentarian representing Lakemba Jihad Dib said, "When hatred rears its head, we must stand together to ensure that humanity always wins out."
Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has sent a message to Ardern, expressing her "deep shock" and condemnation of the attacks on two mosques in Christchurch.
Hasina's press wing said the prime minister reached out to Ardern on Friday.
An international cricket match between New Zealand and Bangladesh has been cancelled after players from the visiting team narrowly avoided the mass shooting at one of the mosques.
Bangladesh's cricket board president says the team is safe in a locked hotel in Christchurch.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canadians are appalled by the attack and said they remember all too well the sorrow after a Canadian man shot dead six Muslim men in a Quebec mosque in 2017.
"Far too often, Muslims suffer unimaginable loss and pain in the places where they should feel safest," Trudeau said in a statement. "To move forward as a world, we need to recognise diversity as a source of strength, and not a threat."
Police stepped up security patrols at mosques across the country.
Danish Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen said, "Extremism has again shown its ugly face." Denmark's Jewish community, which was targeted in a February 2015 attack where a guard was shot and killed, expressed "shock" at the news of the New Zealand attack.
French President Emmanuel Macron, also in a tweet, denounced the "odious crimes against the mosques in New Zealand" and said that France will work with international partners to fight terrorism.
The rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris condemned the attack in Christchurch, which left at least 50 dead.
France is increasing security measures at mosques and other religious sites after the deadly attack against two mosques in New Zealand.
French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner tweeted that he ordered regional prefects to send patrols and reinforce surveillance of places of worship "as a precaution."
France is home to western Europe's largest Muslim community. While French Muslim and Jewish sites are sporadically targeted by vandals, France has not seen a major attack on mosques of the kind that targeted New Zealand.
Germany's foreign minister says the attacks were a "brutal crime" that touches people of all religions around the world.
In two tweets, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said Germany's sympathies were with the friends and families of the victims of the attack.
"The horrific terrorist attack in Christchurch targeted peacefully praying Muslims – if people are murdered solely because of their religion, that is an attack on all of us."
Maas added, "We stand at the side of the victims. Stay strong New Zealand!"
Britain's Queen Elizabeth, the head of state of New Zealand, said she was deeply saddened by the shootings.
"I have been deeply saddened by the appalling events in Christchurch today. Prince Philip and I send our condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives," the queen said in a statement.
"I also pay tribute to the emergency services and volunteers who are providing support to those who have been injured. At this tragic time, my thoughts and prayers are with all New Zealanders."
I have been deeply saddened by the appalling events in Christchurch today. Prince Philip and I send our condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has also expressed solidarity with the people of New Zealand following the attacks on worshippers.
Khan said the news was "heartbreaking."
He says, "London stands with the people of Christchurch in the face of this horrific terror attack. London will always celebrate the diversity that some seek to destroy."
Khan sought to reassure Muslim communities in London following the attacks, saying that the Metropolitan Police would be visible outside mosques.
London mosques have been targeted in the past. One man died and several others were injured in 2017 when Darren Osborne drove a van into people leaving evening prayers.
Prosecutors say Osborne was motivated by a hatred of Muslims and had been radicalised by far-right propaganda he found online.
Gulf Arab states
Gulf Arab states are condemning the attack on the mosques in New Zealand.
Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates all offered their sympathies on Friday over the attack.
Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, tweeted his condolences, noting that "on a day of peace like Friday and at a place of worship like the mosque, we witnessed the most heinous crime of religious hatred."
Saudi Arabia said one of its citizens was lightly wounded in the attack, but survived.
"Indonesia strongly condemns this shooting act, especially at a place of worship while a Friday prayer was ongoing," Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in a statement.
She was earlier cited by media as saying six Indonesians had been inside the mosque when the attack occurred, with three managing to escape and three unaccounted for.
Indonesia's ambassador to New Zealand, Tantowi Yahya, said enquiries were being made as to whether Indonesians were caught up in the attack. There are 331 Indonesians in Christchurch, including 134 students, the foreign ministry said.
Indonesia is the world's biggest Muslim country.
Iran's foreign minister says bigotry in Western countries has led to the attacks on Muslims in New Zealand.
In a Friday tweet, Mohammad Javad Zarif said, "Impunity in Western 'democracies' to promote bigotry leads to this."
Earlier on Friday, Iran condemned the attack and asked the New Zealand government to bring those who carried out the "racist, inhumane and barbaric" attack to justice.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe condemned the attack.
Abe said his country expresses its sincere solidarity with the people of New Zealand in overcoming this difficult time.
"Terrorism cannot be justified for any reason. In close cooperation with New Zealand and the international community, Japan is determined to resolutely stand up against terrorism," Abe tweeted.
In Muslim-majority Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of the biggest party in its ruling coalition, said one Malaysian had been wounded in the attack he described as a "black tragedy facing humanity and universal peace."
"I am deeply saddened by this uncivilized act, which goes against humanistic values and took the lives of civilians," he said in a statement.
"We extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims and the people of New Zealand."
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan strongly condemned the terrorist attack, saying "terrorism does not have a religion."
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says he's shocked at the "terrible attacks."
In a tweet, Sanchez sent condolences to the victims, its families and the government of New Zealand.
"We emphatically condemn violence and the lack of reason of fanatics and extremists who want to break our societies," Sanchez wrote.
Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom has tweeted that she was "shocked by the attack in Christchurch," saying "we condemn terrorism in all forms."
"I strongly condemn the terror attack against the Al Noor Mosque in #NewZealand and Muslim worshippers," Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a tweet.
In another tweet, Erdogan said, "On behalf of my country, I offer my condolences to the Islamic world and the people of New Zealand, who have been targeted by this deplorable act."
He described the attacks as "the latest example of rising racism and Islamophobia."
Later on Friday, Erdogan called New Zealand's Governor-General Patsy Reddy to offer his condolences.
He said Turkish delegation including Vice President Fuat Oktay and Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu will visit New Zealand to make evaluations for a new road map.
US President Donald Trump sent "warmest sympathy and best wishes" to the people of New Zealand.

Efforts at the County Level
In 1927 a committee was appointed to investigate possibilities for a County Library and/or a Community Library. Mrs. Arthur W. Cowell, first president of AAUW 1916-1917, was tireless in her efforts with the County Commissioners and other county and community leaders to establish one. Finally, the Centre County Library was located in Bellefonte in 1939, and in 1942 Mrs. Cowell reported that the Bookmobile for the County Library was "on the road."
Efforts at the Local Level
Many branch members have devoted interest, effort and financial support to the establishment and maintenance of the Bella Schlow Memorial Library, opening in 1956 in downtown State College. The Branch was one of the sponsoring groups to form an executive board for the Friends of the Library; worked to gain tax support in a "Save the Library" campaign (1960); began the custom of presenting books annually to the Past Presidents Shelf (1963); and was among the many groups which requested that the vacated post office building be used to relocate the Schlow Library facilities until a new building could be constructed. Display cases for the children's' room were presented to the library to honor the 50th anniversary of the State College Branch of AAUW in 1966. Numerous meetings of AAUW were held in the Fireside Room and the Board of Directors often met in the upstairs Assembly Room.
The State College Branch contributed $25,000 toward construction of the new Schlow Centre Region Library. This Library has been an ongoing priority of the Branch to receive allocations from proceeds of the annual Used Book Sale, a community event since 1962. In recent years AAUW has also financially contributed as a friend to other libraries as well: the Centre Hall Library, the Holt Library in Philipsburg, the Aaronsburg Area Public Library and the Centre County Library.

Rev. Donna Schaper, senior minister at Judson Memorial Church in New York, is featured in a new, short video interview by Tracy Thompson for Jezebel. Rev. Schaper talks about the formation of the Clergy Consultation Service and her own work with the group, and about the Chicago women's abortion group Jane. She also speaks of the current situation regarding abortion in the U.S.–and what may need to happen if the law changes. (Oh, and the video includes a couple of wonderful archival photos of Howard Moody and Arlene Carmen.)

Another 50th anniversary: Shirley Chisholm's run for congress
January 27, 2018 offercompassion
Vanessa Williams, in the Washington Post, reminds us that it was fifty years ago this year that, without the help of the New York Democratic Party's political machine, Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman elected to the U.S. Congress. "Unbought and Unbossed" was her campaign slogan, and it's also the title of her memoir, which we can't recommend highly enough. It's a book that, unfortunately, could have been written yesterday.
Abortion rights were important to Rep. Chisholm. She became honorary president of NARAL and often spoke publicly about abortion. As a result, women from around the country called her congressional office seeking help. Rep. Chisholm provided staffers with a directory for the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion so that they could refer each caller to a CCS chapter in their area.
In 1972, Shirley Chisholm became the first black candidate to seek the nomination of a major political party for president, and she was the first woman to seek the Democratic Party's nomination. If only . . .

A new year's look back: 40th anniversary of the Clergy Consultation Service
January 4, 2018 offercompassion
A snowy day in a new year seems tailor-made for looking back–and maybe sorting some of the boxes and boxes of photos we've vowed to take care of. Eleven years ago at this time, Judson Memorial Church was planning a 40th anniversary celebration of the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion. That May brought a mighty gathering of many of the founding and early members of the CCS. Rev. Howard Moody gave a stirring sermon on "The Unfinished Revolution in Roe v. Wade."
Lorry and Howard Moody, May 2007
Co-founder Rev. Finley Schaef spoke, and Rev. E. Spencer Parsons, founder of the Chicago CCS was also there. Rev. Tom Davis, who had been a CCS member with his late wife, Rev. Betsy Davis, and the longtime chair of Planned Parenthood's national Clergy Advisory Board, spoke that day. He recently recalled, "I remember Howard Moody and some of the others sitting in the front row looking like bandits who got away with something. Such brave people."
Rev. Ignacio Castuera, then chaplain of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and Rev. Tom Davis, longtime chair of PPFA's Clergy Advisory Board, May 2007
And the host that day, as for the 50th anniversary, was Rev. Donna Schaper, Judson's senior minister, who had also served the CCS in Chicago when she was in seminary. Since then, we've lost Howard Moody and Spencer Parsons and all too many of the other CCS participants. But their legacy abides in Planned Parenthood's clergy boards, in the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, and many other reproductive justice groups.

Strange bedfellows: Hugh Hefner and the Clergy Consultation Service
September 28, 2017 offercompassion
Hugh Hefner has died at the age of 91. We'd like to note a connection that not many of his obituaries will mention: that the Playboy magazine empire he founded also helped a group of Chicago clergy to start a chapter of the Clergy Consultation Service on Problem Pregnancies (as it was called there) and to expand throughout the Midwest.
Hefner started the Playboy Foundation in 1965 with the goals of "fostering open communication about human sexuality, reproductive health and rights, protecting and fostering civil rights and civil liberties in the United States for all people, and protecting freedom of expression." Those were noble liberal causes . . . but one can't help noticing that they also served Hefner's own interests in enterprises that sexually objectified women for the gratification of men. It was a paradox for many grant seekers, especially for those who thought of themselves as feminists.
But Playboy Foundation grants went to some very good causes. Illinois Citizens for the Medical Control of Abortion, a legal reform group started in 1966, received one. It was through that group that the founder of the Chicago CCS, Rev. E. Spencer Parsons, first met University of Chicago doctoral candidate Ronald L. Hammerle. In 1968, the Chicago CCS received a Playboy grant that allowed Parsons to hire Hammerle as a full-time administrator for the group. Nationally, the CCS had almost no direct employees; only the Chicago CCS and the national group in New York seem to have found the means to hire a full-time (though temporary) employee through a grant.
Hammerle not only organized and administered the Chicago CCS but also reached out to organize CCS chapters in other Midwestern states and to find capable doctors. He collected follow-up reports from women about their experiences with doctors. Hammerle also kept statistics for the group and wrote his dissertation on the work of the CCS. His research provided statistics used by CCS clergy as they testified at state legislative hearings around the country. Women counseled by the Chicago clergy would never have dreamed that the referral service was partially funded by a Playboy Foundation grant.
When Hammerle's year of full-time employment was done, Parsons and Hammerle decided not to reapply to the Playboy Foundation for funding. Hammerle moved on to work with the CCS's New York City abortion clinic, Women's Services, and then for Planned Parenthood in Chicago and Iowa. The CCS owed a great deal to Hammerle–and it was the Hefner business empire that had enabled the CCS to hire him.

Remembering Howard Moody
It was five years ago now that Rev. Howard Moody died. He was a founder of the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion. He was always its spokesperson, chief motivator, trainer, defender, and conscience, and yet always modest about the role he had played. In administering the group, he and Arlene Carmen made sure that the safety and dignity of women came first.
But he was first and foremost a prophetic preacher and pastor, and the CCS was only one of the many causes he championed. Under his ministry, Judson Memorial Church was a home for progressive people of many faiths, a haven for avant garde art, and the birthplace of modern dance. He worked for civil rights, fair housing, healthcare for sex workers, and the reform of drug laws, and many other causes, and he inspired generations of ministers and activists. His New York Times obituary gives a quick overview; you can get a better sense of his vision and work from his memoir, A Voice in the Village.
Even in retirement, Moody was so busy that it was always hard to pin him down. Both of us suffer from phone phobia, and it took many phone calls to arrange our first meeting with him. But once we finally met Howard and Lorry in person, we immediately wished to be adopted into their family–and, no doubt like everyone who met them, we felt that we had been. We visited with them whenever we were in New York City, and when we met them at their home in Santa Barbara, they took us out to a wonderful brunch. Howard was generous with his time and recollections, and with us. He was compassionate, a passionate advocate on behalf of others, charming, funny, bold, inspiring, and prophetic. How lucky we were to know him.

The resurgence of religious liberals
June 18, 2017 June 19, 2017 offercompassion
A June 10 article in the New York Times—"Religious Liberals Sat Out of Politics for 40 Years. Now They Want in the Game," by Laurie Goodstein– overlooked the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion–a pivotal religious progressive movement of the 1960s that is undergoing a revival today. Actually, pro-choice clergy never really "sat out"; over the last 40 years, a small but active contingent of clergy, some of them original CCS members and others who have took up their cause of compassion, have worked with Planned Parenthood, the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, and other groups to advocate for reproductive rights. Over those years, although they remained active as pro-choice policy advocates, their voices have often been drowned out by the louder voices of religious anti-abortion activists. But clergy and people of faith—such as Rev. Donna Schaper of Judson Memorial Church in New York City (a CCS member when she was a seminary student in Chicago) and Christian physician Willie Parker–are now reclaiming a religious voice for the reproductive justice movement, and there is discussion of reviving the CCS for this new era. A new, more diverse CCS is likely to emerge, emphasizing the way reproductive rights intersect with related concerns–racism, gender, poverty, immigration, and healthcare in general.

The iRiver X20 is a small, flash memory based portable media player (PMP) from iRiver. It was announced at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show. Initially only 2 and 4 GB versions were announced but soon an 8 GB was also released. It is almost identical to the Insignia NS-DV, a brand from Best Buy.

Features
The X20 is a small device in gloss black with audio and video capability, and also has built-in stereo speakers on its back. Additionally, it has a Micro SD slot for expandable memory while also offering recording capabilities via microphone in or line in. It has a mechanical scroll wheel that is used for navigating the device, which can only be used in a landscape format with the controls on the right hand side. The X20 also includes a voice recorder and FM radio.

Audio formats supported are MP3, WMA, WAV and OGG. Video formats are MPEG-4 and WMV, and there is also support for JPEG still images.

Reception
According to TechDigest.tv, the iRiver X20 performs well as a music player but the screen is too small for video. It also criticised the interface navigation and gave the player 3 stars out of 5. CNET praised the sleek design and display quality, but was not fond of the mechanical scroll wheel.

Inside The Office
Sisters Andi Shaughnessy and Danielle Carter, co-CEOS of ExpressIt Delivery.

EXP Delivery Solutions Is The First Women-Owned Business To Join National Home Delivery Association
BOSTON — EXP Delivery Solutions are the first women-owned business to join the National Home Delivery Association (NHDA), an organization that promotes quality standards for home delivery companies, since its launch six years ago.
"We are the first women-owned company to be one of their members, and we're extremely proud to hold that title. We are definitely breaking barriers," said Danielle Carter, co-CEO.
Bill Lecos, executive director of NHDA, echoed the same sentiments. "We're very excited and very pleased to make the acquaintanceship. This is a dynamic industry that's always growing, so we're glad to have the energy and experience exemplified by the two sisters."
Carter and her sister Andi Shaughnessy started EXP Delivery Solutions as a subsidiary under their family-run business ExpressIt Delivery because they saw an ignored space for women-owned home delivery. EXP specializes in last mile deliveries — the final step between a retailer and a customer's home.
"The opportunity was for last mile home delivery," Shaughnessy said. "We felt like we could use our skills and our customer service level and all that we've learned and apply it to a new service offering … We wanted to give customers what they really should expect when it comes to delivery."
As children, they worked under their father at ExpressIt Delivery, which focuses on same-day deliveries and courier services. After his passing, the siblings took over the business, rebranding and expanding their reach by opening three additional locations in Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
While managing ExpressIt Delivery was one task, beginning their own company was another venture entirely. There wasn't a guidebook for co-CEOs, and especially not two that were sisters, Carter said with amusement. Without directions to follow, they stayed flexible as they approached running EXP. They shared that their close relationship allowed them to succeed because they don't necessarily split tasks or responsibilities between the two of them. Instead, they work to complement one another's strengths while always making decisions together. It's a system that works, and it works because the two of them approach the business with a team mentality.
That collaboration reflects in the way Carter and Shaughnessy discuss their employees. EXP is a new venture, having only gotten off the ground this past July. Because of that, the company has been "all hands on deck," but the sisters know that they can rely on their employees and clients. It's a partnership where they treat each other like family. There's a clear level of respect: when describing their success, Carter and Shaughnessy called special attention to the work of their Senior Vice President of Operations, Talal Tadros. With his thirty years of experience in the industry, he provides a unique, knowledged perspective to help the company thrive, and both sisters acknowledge that he is an instrumental part of the business.
EXP may just be getting started, but Carter and Shaughnessy have clear and ambitious goals for the future. Shaughnessy explained their vision, saying that they hope EXP will become a company that retailers not only rely on but actively reach out to as their "go-to" delivery provider. Through trust and excellent service, they aim to become a cornerstone of the industry.
"When we had to take over the business, the mindset was, 'OK, let's finish what our dad started. Let's finish this off and make him proud,'" said Carter. "And I think as we grew together, both in the business and personally, it evolved into: 'OK, let's see how far we can take this.' There really isn't a ceiling. We know that we're just getting started."
