Brady John Haran (born 18 June 1976) is an Australian-born British independent filmmaker and video journalist who is known for his educational videos and documentary films produced for BBC News and his YouTube channels, the most notable being Periodic Videos and Numberphile.[1][2] Haran is also the co-host of the Hello Internet podcast along with fellow YouTuber CGP Grey. On August 22, 2017, Haran launched a new podcast called The Unmade Podcast.
Reporter and filmmaker
Brady Haran studied journalism for a year before being hired by The Adelaide Advertiser. In 2002, he moved from Australia to Nottingham, United Kingdom. In Nottingham, he worked for the BBC, began to work with film, and reported for East Midlands Today, BBC News Online and BBC radio stations.[3][4][5]
In 2007, Haran worked as a filmmaker-in-residence for Nottingham Science City,[3][6] as part of an agreement between the BBC and The University of Nottingham.[7] His "Test Tube" project started with the idea of producing a documentary about scientists and their research, but he decided to upload his raw footage to YouTube; from that point "Periodic Videos" and "Sixty Symbols" were developed.[3][6] Haran then left the BBC to work full-time making YouTube videos.[8]
Following "Test Tube", Haran decided to create new YouTube channels.[3] In his first 5 years as an independent filmmaker he made over 1500 videos.[8] In 2012, he was the producer, editor, and interviewer behind 12 YouTube channels[8] such as The Periodic Table of Videos,[9] Sixty Symbols and Numberphile.[3] Martyn Poliakoff received the Royal Society of Chemistry Nyholm Prize for Education in 2011 for work taking chemistry education to a wider audience; this included his work with Haran on The Periodic Table of Videos.[10]
Working with Poliakoff, Haran's videos explaining chemistry and science for non-technical persons received positive recognition.[1] Together, they have made over 500 short videos that cover the elements and other chemistry-related topics. Their YouTube channel has had more than 159 million views.[11] Also, Haran and Poliakoff authored an article in the Nature Chemistry journal[12] and an essay on Science journal[13] discussing the impact of The Periodic Table of Videos.
Haran frequently collaborates with professionals and experts, who often appear in his videos to discuss subjects relevant to their work. Most notably his series Periodic Videos features chemist Martyn Poliakoff, with the series also featuring chemist Stephen Liddle. The Numberphile channel has hosted a wide array of guests and presenters, including mathematicians James Grime, Elwyn Berlekamp, John Conway, Persi Diaconis, Rob Eastaway, David Eisenbud, Edward Frenkel, Hannah Fry, Ron Graham, Lisa Goldberg, Barry Mazur, Ken Ribet, Tadashi Tokieda and Terence Tao, computer scientists Don Knuth and Carlo H. Séquin, scientists Brian Butterworth, Ed Copeland, Laurence Eaves, and Clifford Stoll, and scientific writers and popularizers Alex Bellos, Steve Mould, Matt Parker, Tom Scott, and Simon Singh.[14] The Computerphile channel has hosted similar experts, such as computer science professor Michael Pound.
Hello Internet
In January 2014, Haran launched the podcast Hello Internet along with co-host CGP Grey, another YouTube educational content creator. The podcast peaked as the #1 iTunes podcast in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Canada, and Australia.[15] It was selected as one of Apple's best new podcasts of 2014.[16] The Guardian included the podcast among its 50 best of 2016, naming episode 66 ("A Classic Episode") its episode of the year. The paper described the podcast as having "in-depth debates and banter that is actually amusing".[17]
The podcast features discussions pertaining to their lives as professional content creators for YouTube, as well as their interests and annoyances. Typical topics include technology etiquette; movie and TV show reviews; plane accidents; vexillology; futurology; and the differences between Grey's and Haran's personalities and lifestyles.[18]
The Unmade Podcast
In August 2017, Haran launched The Unmade Podcast along with co-host Tim Hein, a close friend of Haran.[19] The podcast features a discussion between the two of "ideas for podcasts that they will never make."[19] and sometimes do make.

Average House in Silicon Valley now over $1 Million
While it certainly isn't news to the people who live in Silicon Valley, the price of housing has sky rocketed there, and my have reached a kind of "tipping point" with news that the average price there is now over a million dollars. For the last four months, the average price of a single-family home in Santa Clara Count yhas been more than $1 million, according to rdata from MLS Listings, a service for real estate agents.
Accordning to a report by NBC news, brokers are saying that tech growth is the main driver of demand in Silicon Valley and that most of it comes from executives at Apple, Google and other established companies. Another big factor, however, is growing demand from China. Realtors say wealthy Chinese buyers are pouring into Silicon Valley and buying up multimillion-dollar properties. They say the buyers are increasingly nervous about the Chinese government and economy and are looking for a safe haven.
Silicon Valley now leads the nation in the number of homes sold for $1 million or more, according to Realtytrac. Sales of $1 million-plus have more than doubled in many communities in Silicon Valley this year, toppling even luxury areas like Beverly Hills or Miami.

LAS VEGAS – CC Sabathia is not going to play on the West Coast. He is not going to play in the National League. CC Sabathia is going to be a Yankee, The Post has learned exclusively.
SHERMAN: Reason For Hope As Yanks And Mets Bring In No. 1 Targets
MORE: Girardi Not Sure Of Pettitte's Return
MORE: Kubek Into Hall As Broadcaster
SHERMAN: Ankiel Shows Up On Bombers Radar
VACCARO: Still Some Work To Do In Mets Bullpen
After three straight days of face-to-face meetings between GM Brian Cashman and Sabathia, the big lefty decided he wants to spend the next seven years of his career as a Yankee. The decision came late last night after Cashman flew to see Sabathia at his home in San Francisco. By the time the meeting was concluded, Sabathia had informed the Yankees that he had made his decision to call New York his baseball home, the Post has learned.
There are still minor hurdles to finalize, notably that Sabathia must pass a physical. But after so much belief that Sabathia was stalling because he wanted to avoid New York, he agreed to the largest pitching contract in major league history, worth $160 million over seven years.
It means that the Yankees have lassoed the player they were building their offseason around: An ace in his prime. Sabathia is just 28, and last year between the Indians and Brewers he went 17-10 with a 2.70 ERA. The previous season he won the AL Cy Young. Now he is the first major new piece to be put into the new Yankee Stadium.
Cashman had met with Sabathia on both Sunday and Monday in Vegas. He then slipped out of the Winter Meetings yesterday to fly to San Francisco to meet again with Sabathia and also this time Sabathia's wife, Amber. It was in this meeting that Sabathia fully expressed that he wanted to come East and play in the AL, that he wanted the responsibility that comes with being the big man for the biggest team.
The Yankees had extended a six-year, $140 million bid to Sabathia nearly a month ago. As the weeks passed and Sabathia did not accept the deal, a feeling began to pervade that he was trying hard to avoid The Bronx. Instead, this might simply have been a patient game of poker, Sabathia simply taking his time to make sure no desirable West Coast team with significant money would emerge. That never happened.
So now Sabathia will front a rotation that also will include Chien-Ming Wang and Joba Chamberlain. But Cashman does not want to stop there. The Yankee priority this winter has been pitching, pitching and pitching. And they are going for more.
Cashman had met Monday night with A.J. Burnett's agent Darek Braunacker and expressed a willingness to exceed the four-year, $60 million bid by the Braves and that they would seriously consider going to a fifth year.
"We never doubted their sincere efforts," Braunacker said. "I have maintained that if A.J. wants five years he will get five years."
Cashman also met with Scott Boras and the Yanks appeared willing to go to the four-year, $60 million plus range for Derek Lowe. In addition, the Yanks have talked with agents for several other starters, including Andy Pettitte, Randy Wolf, Oliver Perez and Ben Sheets. The Yankees received medical records on the oft-injured Sheets and were studying them. One person in the loop described Cashman as really pushing in a much more forceful way to begin closing deals, with or without Sabathia.
The Yanks knew the worse scenario would be to be completely shut out on the top-tier pitching buffet. That would be humiliating. That would be the entire sport essentially saying the Yankees have the money, but no one wants to take it as a first option any longer. However, Sabathia showed that the lure of the Yankees and their money is still powerful.
Barring the unforeseen, Sabathia is going to be a Yankee. The Yanks scored the big prize for which they were hunting.

love letter
Dear blank sheet of paper,
I bridle my tongue.
The acidic pencil lead
burnt a hole in her heart.
The anger in her eyes
drew blood from my skin.
No one admits the damage,
we chose to let it smoulder.
I am guilty on all counts,
self-censured, clearing the air,
atonement for ashes and soot.

This article is part of our special report Innovation – Feeding the world.
SPECIAL REPORT / According to the European Commission, boosting innovation and research in the agricultural sector is key if EU farmers are to produce more with less, and feed billions.
In an effort to help EU farming adjust to future nutritional needs, the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the period 2014-2020 aims at bridging the existing gap between research and farming practice.
"The future agriculture will be (an) agriculture of knowledge," Phil Hogan, Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, recently stressed in an interview with EURACTIV.
>> Read: Hogan: Empowering women farmers in developing countries is 'absolutely crucial'
Feeding the world
Global population is expected to rise from 7.3 billion today to 9.7 billion in 2050, according to UN projections, meaning food production will have to double to meet nutritional needs.
According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, about 795 million people are undernourished globally, down 167 million over the last decade, and 216 million less than in 1990–92. The decline is more pronounced in developing regions, despite significant population growth.
For the developing world as a whole, the share of undernourished people in the total population has decreased from 23.3% in 1990–92 to 12.9%.
The report The State of Food Insecurity in the World stresses that in many countries that have failed to reach the international hunger targets, natural and human-induced disasters or political instability had resulted in protracted crises with increased vulnerability and food insecurity of large parts of the population.
"A stronger and more innovative CAP is crucial to meet future world demand set to rise by 60% by 2050", Copa-Cogeca, the EU farmer's organisation, said in an EUFoodChat organised by EURACTIV last week.
But the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM) told EURACTIV that the question of feeding the planet was oftenapproached "from the wrong angle".
"Focusing entirely on intensifying production is misguided and merely props up collective dependency on the very industrial agri-food production and consumption systems that do not meet the needs of people whilst destroying the environment," said Eric Gall, IFOAM's EU Policy Manager.
He continued, saying that the organic food and farming and agroecology had a holistic, systemwide approach to food and farming.
"They are uniquely placed to address the complex and interlinked global challenges we currently face, including food insecurity and obesity, climate change, unfair working and trade conditions, soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, poor animal welfare, deforestation and loss of agricultural land, to name but a few."

Looking at the objectives of Europe 2020, as well as responding to the food security challenge, the new CAP focuses on innovation and research in order to make the EU farming "smart and sustainable".
According to the European Commission, in a constantly changing economic environment, farmers, foresters, food and bio-based industries should be granted new knowledge which will make them sustainable over the long term and simultaneously, help them respond to the challenge of food safety, climate change, growth and jobs in rural areas.
"Looking across the 28 member states, a total of €25.3 billion from the EU budget for rural development has been earmarked to actions that have a positive impact on biodiversity and around 20% of all farm land in the EU will be under management contract to improve or preserve biodiversity," Daniel Rosario, a spokesperson for Agriculture and Rural Development, recently told EURACTIV.

With the reformed CAP, new instruments are being developed, such as innovation partnerships.
Supporting new ideas
Innovation is a driving force of the second pillar of the CAP, Rural Development.
The main instrument for this is the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI). Its fundamental aim is to create synergies between Horizon 2020 and Rural Developmen,t and to close the gap between research and practice.
Under EIP-AGRI, local stakeholders (farmers, researchers, businesses, NGOs) come together and establish the so-called "operational groups" whose main objective is to seek an innovative solution on a common problem in a country or a region.
The work and the knowledge developed by these operational groups are then shared to the whole EIP-AGRI network in order for other stakeholders to be able to benefit too.
In addition, the new CAP provides the "Innovation Support Services".
Someone who offers Innovation Support Services could discover an innovative idea on a farm, for example, which could then be explored further. Other possible interested stakeholders are contacted and a new project is initiated. Then the consultant will seek funding opportunities for the implementation of the project.
Horizon 2020
Aside from Rural Development, innovation-driven agriculture is also supported by the Horizon 2020 programme.
The EU has earmarked nearly €80 billion under Horizon 2020, the EU's framework programme for Research and Innovation for 2014-2020. €4 billion are allocated to Societal Challenge 2, 'Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the bioeconomy'.
Horizon 2020 for innovation on agriculture involves partners from several EU countries and funds multi-actor projects.
The new Horizon 2020 Work Programme covering 2016-17 will directly provide €33 million for organic farming, and a further €174 million is dedicated to projects in which organic agriculture should play a role.
Identifying and solving the problems
Part of the EIP-AGRI activities are the Focus Groups, which gather 20 experts (farmers, researchers, business community) aimied at addressing a particular problem related to agriculture.
The EIP-AGRI Service Point, set up by the Commission in 2013 to support the network, launches calls for six focus groups annually and tries to bring together the relevant experts.The focus group analyses an agriculture-related problem, exchanges knowledge, combines scientific approaches, and at the end, produces a report.
The final report aims at "inspiring" other actors in the farming field to start operational groups, or research projects.
"The animal health industry hopes to see the focus on innovation in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) translate through to policy for development, protection and acceptance of new technologies in veterinary medicines," IFAH-Europe secretary general, Roxane Feller, told EURACTIV.
And she added: "Innovation through science and technology has allowed European agriculture to play a major role in ensuring food security. Europe has a global responsibility in the field of agriculture given its productive soil, favourable climate, knowledge-base of efficient production, processing, and logistics".
"As a central focus of the new pillar II of the CAP, fostering innovation, along with knowledge transfer is key for IFAH-Europe as this can support the need for manufacturers of veterinary medicines to be able to deliver both new and existing technologies to address farmers' requirements in terms of animal health," she said.
The European Feed Industry also welcomed the fact that the new CAP encourages farmers' access to innovation and contribute to a more sustainable food system.
But it told EURACTIV that more should be done in the field of livestock production.
"Innovation is the only way for EU livestock producers to stay ahead of the curve while facing tough competition from third country producers. The focus groups provided by the EIP facilitates the knowledge exchange, however it can be criticised that there are only few focus groups dealing with livestock production (animal husbandry, permanent grassland and livestock emissions)."
"Research and innovation in the crop sector is also of importance, for European Feed Manufacturers' Federation (FEFAC) particularly in the area of increasing yields of protein-rich crops produced in the EU to stimulate the farmers' profitability and in the longer term try to reduce the feed sector's dependence on third country imports," the European Feed Industry noted.
"We are committed to encouraging agricultural innovation programmes and scientific research primarily in areas with livestock farming, natural handicaps and small agricultural holdings in order to make more agriculture competitive and efficient in all regions and preserve rural communities," Markku Markkula, President of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) told EURACTIV.
"Reducing the development gap between rural and predominantly urban areas and meeting the territorial cohesion objective enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty needs to be on top of the EU agenda in this field and could be achieved today only through innovation," he added.
In June 2013, politicians approved the first major reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in a decade, following months of haggling over quotas, subsidies and measures to improve environmental accountability.
But when the new rules took full effect in 2015, a year behind schedule, some of the same leaders who approved it were calling for changes to policies they said were too cumbersome to administer.

This is just my notes on getting this setup of which I was inspired by this article. The Model A has 256MB of memory. Apparently the GPU needs a minimum of 128MB to work so it is important to get the CPU as much memory as possible by having non-required things stopped or uninstalled altogether. There is nothing here specific to the Model A, so this will all work with a Model B.
I looked at mainly two minimal images (this and this). I ended up using MINIBIAN as I struggled to get the camera working on the former although I believe the information futher down on making the enable_camera.sh script would have solved it. Alright, lets get to it.
- I used the dcfldd command to prepare the SD card, but you can use plain dd also:
dcfldd bs=1M if=/tmp/2013-10-13-wheezy-minibian.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
- I then used gParted to grow the ext4 partition to 2 GB (as updating the firmware takes up a lot of space).
- For the remainder of the 8GB SD card, I made a xfs partition called storage (UPDATE: I will need to use ext4 as adding another type of filesystem adds tools and processes to manage them which takes a lot of memory relative to the little available)
- You will need to have a network connection, I used a USB-Ethernet dongle on a Model A as it does not have an ethernet port and WiFi is not enabled on MINIBAN (wpasupplicant not installed – will be done later)
- Next step was to put the SD card in the Pi and boot up
- ssh to the Pi and log in with user root (default password: raspberry)
- Issue the following commands:
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata (select your closest timezone)
apt-get update
dpkg-reconfigure locales (select your locale)
apt-get upgrade
apt-get autoremove
apt-get autoclean
- Now, we need to enable the camera. I used this information and created a script as raspi-config doesn't seem to work on these minimal images.
nano enable_camera.sh (paste the contents from the link) chmod 755 enable_camera.sh apt-get install lua5.2 (needed as it is used in the script) ./enable_camera.sh
- We can now test the camera by taking an image:
raspistill -o image.jpg
The camera should light up it's RED light and take a photo. If we are successful here, we will now try to get motion to work. Go ahead and reboot in the meantime.
First we start by installing the dependencies required by motion (referenced here):
apt-get install -y libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libavformat53 libavformat-dev libavcodec53 libavcodec-dev libavutil51 libavutil-dev libc6-dev zlib1g-dev libmysqlclient18 libmysqlclient-dev libpq5 libpq-dev
Since motion does not yet support the Pi, we need to keep following the above referenced location and get the special build of motion from the Dropbox link, un-compress it and put it in the executable path:
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/xdfcxm5hu71s97d/motion-mmal.tar.gz tar zxvf motion-mmal.tar.gz mv motion /usr/bin/.
You can probably use the settings in the file from Dropbox above, however I used the config file and init script from this location.
cp motion.conf /etc/. cp motion /etc/init.d/. chmod 755 /etc/init.d/motion
The above conf file has a video location (if you search for CAM1 you will find it) you will need to modify to determine where to store the images and videos the camera captures.
The above motion init file has a sleep 30 for start option for the CAM1 location to be mounted. You can comment this out if you are storing images on the card or somewhere else that does not require this delay.
The init script will do a chuid to run this as user motion, therefore we need to create that user. I created it as a system user with no shell and added it to the video group so it is able to access the camera module.
useradd motion -rs /bin/false usermod -a -G video motion
You should now be able to start and stop motion:
/etc/init.d/motion start /etc/init.d/motion stop
To set it up so that it autostarts at boot up, execute this command:
update-rc.d motion defaults
Next up, I will attempt to reduce unnecessary usage of RAM on this Model A to give motion as much as possible following this guide. Currently I get about 20MB free when motion is running, which by subtraction means motion uses 40MB to run. Remember also that the GPU takes half (128MB) of the total RAM when you need to use the camera. I will do the following changes from the referenced guide above to get back about 13.5MB RAM:
- Replacing OpenSSH with Dropbear | Save: +10MB RAM
- Remove the extra tty / getty's | Save: +3.5 MB RAM
- Disable IPv6
- Replace Deadline Scheduler with NOOP Scheduler
BTW, you can check the current version of the firmware etc using the following two commands. Not sure how you would compare if you have the latest or not. If you need to update it, you can use the instructions from the previous referenced guide.
/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd version
uname -a
This gives me the following:
Sep 1 2013 23:27:46 Copyright (c) 2012 Broadcom version 4f9d19896166f46a3255801bc1834561bf092732 (clean) (release) Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11+ #538 PREEMPT Fri Aug 30 20:42:08 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux
Here are the commands for the changes I made in the order I did them (explanations can be found from the referenced link):
apt-get install dropbear openssh-client
/etc/init.d/ssh stop
sed -i 's/NO_START=1/NO_START=0/g' /etc/default/dropbear
/etc/init.d/dropbear start
ssh email@example.com
apt-get purge openssh-server
sed -i '/[2-6]:23:respawn:\/sbin\/getty 38400 tty[2-6]/s%^%#%g' /etc/inittab
sed -i '/T0:23:respawn:\/sbin\/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100/s%^%#%g' /etc/inittab
echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1" > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf
echo 'blacklist ipv6' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
sed -i '/::/s%^%#%g' /etc/hosts
sed -i 's/deadline/noop/g' /boot/cmdline.txt
The next step I will do is set this up to work with WiFi (with a hidden SSID). If you have a Pi with Ethernet port or will use a USB-Ethernet dongle, then you may not require this. The Linksys USB10T works out of the box. I will however be using a Edimax nano WiFi adapter. My setup is from this reference.
I will also set this up to store images on my Synology NAS and try to get the Surveillance Station app on the NAS to work as described here. (DONE – works like a charm)
Finally, it goes without saying that without the hard work of all the folks referenced here (and many more), this would have been a whole lot tougher if not impossible for me to get going.

Ground Wedding Photo Shooting
With our base 3 hour packages, we capture a first look, an hour on the mountain plus the flight time, leaving us with around an hour of ground photos. Depending on the time of year, we may do this first, generally over the shorter days of April to August, whilst in summer it's a great time to capture some last shots by a lake, or another lower mountain that's accessible by road.
Here's some of our favourite wedding photos captured during 2016 with an emphasis on the golden hour. This all comes down to our planning for the best light of the day to give you something really incredle. Finally over the shorter months, the Milky Way is visible very clearly, particular from certain parts of Queenstown, Wanaka, Mt Cook and Tekapo. If the moon phase and clear conditions work out, we can capture some night shots at an additional fee:
A timelapse of the Southern Lights just south of Queenstown – it's possible we could see the Aurora on a clear night with the right conditions.

Market Systems Development
To truly impact upon the housing challenges, we recognize the need to work with market actors. As only 19.5% of Ugandans have a bank account, the current products available tend to be skewed to higher income earners. HFHU is working with partners to develop housing microfinance products and services that serve middle- to low-income clients. Premised on the belief that there are affordable, economically viable options for low-income families, we provide Institutional Technical Assistance to support market actors to bring these ideas to life.

|More Than 100 Companies to Invest In Bahrain
As many as 103 companies have committed to investing a total of $1.8 billion at the Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP) in Salman Industrial City, Industry and Commerce Minister Hassan Fakhro said.
Speaking at an event held to mark the production of the one-billionth unit at US-firm Mondelez International's cheese and powdered-beverage plant in Bahrain yesterday, the minister said the companies had the potential to provide over 10,000 jobs at full production.
According to Mr. Fakhro, more than half of the companies are based in Germany, the US, the UK, France, India, Singapore, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia and other countries, reported the Gulf Daily News, our sister publication.
"These foreign companies represent over 80pc of the total investment commitment of $1.8 billion. More than 58 new projects are already operational and they employ over 3,500 people," Mr. Fakhro said. He said since announcing its first project in Bahrain in July 2006, Mondelez International has surpassed all the commitments it made in terms of investment and employment targets.
Mondelez International was the first company to start operations in the BIIP in late 2007. Mr. Fakhro added Mondelez has had a strong and positive influence on the decision-making process of many of the foreign companies that have chosen to locate in Bahrain.

I bet you're wondering why this video is here.
Well I should warn you this book contains a stalker.
I should also warn you this an adult review and not meant for youngin's. Or you Dad. So if you happen to read my reviews…just don't. Ok?
Also this is my second favorite jam from the '80's….
Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private wounds… and desires.
The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart…
Ok 3 Stars for the first half of the book and 4 for the last half. So let's just call my rating 2 stars. LOL kidding. It's a 3. Maybe? Shit. I don't fucking know. It's not a 5 star book that is for fucking sure!
I found the first half extremely mock worthy and you will see that reflected in our group read on the blog (I'll let you all know when we get that up).
This book gets a lot of comparisons to Fifty Shades of Grey. I see those similarities. Eva=Ana=Bella (kinda) Gideon=Christian=Edward (most definately). This is a book about a fucked up co-dependent relationship. You NEVER know if the characters are making up or breaking up. They are instantly in lust/love with each other and the male MC has major creep/stalker tendancies which are not hot at all. Women of the world. We are people too. We deserve space and privacy.
So you ask, what makes this different? Eva has a real backbone. She stands up to Cross. On several different occasions. However, she does have a tendency to cave…so there is that. She tells him to fuck off. Walks away from him when he pisses her off and makes demands that she actually expects him to comply with. Sometimes she gets her way and most of the time she doesn't. The arguments and solutions usually end up in Cross's favor but the fact that she is willing to slap him and tell him to go screw himself is a major step up. Cross is super creepy. Like seriously a major stalker. Is he as bad as Christian Grey? I don't know… but he is very close.
There is a very very disturbing scene in this book that was absolutely horrible. [ Cross attempts to sleep rape Eva in his and her one night. Eva wakes up thinking it's a nightmare of her former step brother raping her (hide spoilI'm trying to weigh if this is more horrible than the outright abuse in Fifty. In some ways yes and in some ways no. But mostly yes. And mostly due to the authors handling of it. It's in there as shock value. It adds absolutely nothing to the story. Sure it shows us Cross is seriously fucked up…but we already knew that. She took this horrible thing that men and women have suffer with…threw it out there and then kinda swept it under the rug. I really hope she fixes this and addresses it in a more mature way in the next book. Does it add a bit more seriousness to the story? Maybe. But not in the way it was handled in the aftermath. Literally, maybe 5 sentences are given to it after the fact.
The writing was decent in this book. There were a few clunky sentences here and there. The author likes to use big words and tends to be on the wordy side. Oh well. Are there annoying phrases repeated over and over again? Yes. The sex speak is crude and absolutely hilarious. The sex scenes get a little redundant and at one point Eva has 4 orgasms in one sexual sitting. They literally hump on every other page. I get it, he's hot and amazing in bed…but can't he mix it up. This is the order of their sex. Cross or Eva–I wanna fuck. They kiss. He sucks/bites her nipples. He goes down on her. She has an orgasm. He finger bangs her. She has an orgasm They have good ole missionary style sex. He rotates his hips. And goes so deep with his giant dong that he can feel it against his stomach from inside her. She has an orgasm. He says Eva "what the fuck are you doing to me" or "fuck Eva". Then he has an orgasm. I think she mentions them doing it doggy style but we don't see that. Also he finger bangs her butt. But (all you Fifty Haters–I'm right there with ya) there is NO fucking inner goddess. There is no mention of her subconcious. She doesn't say "oh my" or "holy cow".
Ok now that I have thought about it this is a pity 4 star review. I'm marking it up because it's NOT Fifty. It has its own issues but Eva is a surviver and a fighter and that was just awesome to me. I just wish the author would let her actions back up her words more often. It's not the character that's flawed…it's what the author is doing it to her. It's time we stop expecting women to bow down to rich, handsome, and powerful men. Or men in general. I know, I know it's fucking fiction…blah blah blah. I've used those exact words to defend some seriously fucked up relationships in books I love. It's just an alarming trend to me. I thought it was new and great at first. Like–look at this. These characters have a fucked up relationship like I've had. Only they get a happy ending aww. But now EVERY book. Even YA ones are promoting co-dependency and stalkerish/possessive behavior. I'm an adult. I know there is no happy ending for this shit. But 14 year old girls? Fuck no they don't know that. So STOP FUCKING TELLING THEM IT'S FUCKING SEXY!!!! /Rant.
Oh–you want some quotes for me to mock….Well I used all my good ones in the group blog. But I think I can pull some out of my notes.
"'Oh, Eva," he crooned, running his index finger through my slick-cleft. "Look how greedy you are for me. It's a full time job keeping this sweet little cunt satisfied."–My mom would hate this guy. She hates that word for personal reasons. Me-I'm a feminist. I've come to terms with societies reality of this word. And the origins and reality-reality of this word. Just go read Cunt by Inga Musico already.I still don't love the word because of the personal connection it has for me and my family.
Oh mockery—right. Well let's just say that the way he talks is LOL worthy.
"Romance isn't in my repertoire, Eva. But a thousand ways to make you come are. Let me show you." –I literally just fucking fell on my back and wanted this guy. Wow. I mean seriously he just used a big word in a sentence while talking about sex. If that isn't seduction, I don't know what it is. Let's just gloss over the fact where he pretty much tells women he has no intrest in them as humans worth spending time with. But damn they sure are great for cum catchers.
Eva has had a trying day so she does what any sane woman does. Buys thirty chocolate candy bars and proceeds to shove them in her face. Cross corners her in the elevator and wipes chocolate from her dick trap (aka mouth) and this is the magic that happens. "He sucked on the pad (of his finger) and purred, 'Chocolate and you. Delicious.'" My 2 year old daughter does that to me when we are eating chocolate. Only I think she has more intelligence than Cross because she say yum yum yum delicioso chocolate. In Spanish and crap. She also invades my personal space. But she's 2. She has no idea what boundaries are. At 28 this dude should know you don't just fucking touch women in empty elevators. Especially when you have used your magic "I own the building key" to close the elevator to anyone else. CREEP.
Eva has turned his world upside down. He repeatedly tries to get her to "cum to him" (my words…but still it's pretty much in theme with the book) and is constantly making him come to her office. Were they can make arrangements to fuck. But when Eva finally decides that she wants a 'fucking' relationship with him (pun intended) he gets all pissy at her when she comes on to him.
"'Christ." He shoved both hands through his hair. 'It's the middle of the fucking day. In my goddamn fucking office!'"–Well stop calling her to your office to entice her with your sex goddness. He goes from being uber sex god in the beginning of this book. To claiming that he and Eva have had more sex than he has had in years. Excuse me–but I find that hard to believe from a man who has a 'fuck room' reserved at a hotel.
At the end of the day this book is what it is. It's seriously good in some parts. And seriously fucked up in others. I will be reading the second book so we can figure out what the fuck happened to him to make him so fucked up.
Fuck, I sound just like my fucking Dads best fucking friend when I was fucking growing up. That fucking man could add the fucking word fucking to almost any fucking point in every fucking sentence he ever fucking spoke. –See I added that for shock value. Does nothing to increase the value of my reivew…

Story highlights
- The White House says extraterrestrials have not contacted the human race
- The U.S. government says there's no evidence of life outside our planet
- Thousands sign a petition asking for a government response on alien contact
- Many Americans believe in an extraterrestrial presence
The White House position on extraterrestrials is now clear: aliens haven't contacted Earth, but that doesn't mean the U.S. government isn't looking for them.
"The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race," wrote Phil Larson of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy in a blog post on the White House website.
The response went on to say that even though there is no proof that life exists outside Earth, "that doesn't mean the subject of life outside our planet isn't being discussed or explored," he said
The petitions were submitted through "We the People," a White House initiative that promises a White House response to any petition that can garner 5,000 signatures in 30 days.
This response by the White House satisfies the demands of two petitions, one of which garnered over 12,000 signatures.
That petition called on the White House to "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race."
"Hundreds of military and government agency witnesses have come forward with testimony confirming this extraterrestrial presence," stated the petition. "Opinion polls now indicate more than 50% of the American people believe there is an extraterrestrial presence and more than 80% believe the government is not telling the truth about this phenomenon. The people have a right to know. The people can handle the truth."
According to the White House, however, "there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."
But Larson indicated that a host of government agencies are working "toward the goal of understanding if life can or does exist off Earth," including the Mars Science Laboratory, SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Kepler, the NASA spacecraft.
And even though the White House was clear that there is no credible evidence that aliens have contacted earth, Larson did point out that the odds are in favor of extraterrestrial existence, but not contact.
"Many scientists and mathematicians... have come to the conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and trillions of stars in the universe there is a planet other than ours that is home to life," wrote Larson. "However, that the odds of us making contact with any of them — especially any intelligent ones — are extremely small, given the distances involved."

Accutrex Products is investing $2.5 million to expand its two Lancaster County facilities – a move that will bring up to 10 new jobs to the area.
Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. announced the decision in a media release issued Tuesday, Sept. 25.
Accutrex, which makes custom shims, gaskets, washers and sheet metal products, opened its first precision-parts manufacturing facility on Sunshine Road in the late 1990s.
In 2006, the company expanded to a second nearby facility on Pageland Highway (S.C. 9).

Sofia Coppola's movies seem so simple on the surface, but always prove more than meets the eye, with thoughtful subtexts that too many filmgoers seem to miss. As a colleague of mine recently said to me, "Those that say 'nothing happened' have completely missed the point." Her newest movie, Somewhere, is quiet, understated and sublime. Rebounding from the mixed reaction she received from her last picture, Marie Antoinette, Coppola has returned to the glory of her 2003 hit, Lost in Translation. Somewhere is a spiritual successor to that film, in tone and style, and if you liked it, you'll probably like this.
Stephen Dorff plays our protagonist, Johnny Marco. When we meet him, he seems a loner. He wastes his days away driving his car around and chasing women, just to end up back home alone drinking booze and ordering pole dancers. He has some friends, but he seems disconnected from them. When he finally does get a girl, he ends up falling asleep on top of her before the fun begins. He comes off as a lonely, downtrodden vagabond, never quite sure what he's going to be doing from day to day, and you begin to feel sorry for him. Then, suddenly, we find out he's a big Hollywood actor. This sudden flip in perspective is jarring, but in a good way.
The beginning of the film features very little dialogue and you see Johnny at his barest. As an actor, he's almost always surrounded by a number of people, including fans, agents and paparazzi. He lives a lifestyle where he is never really alone, yet you gain the understanding that he is. Coppola, who also wrote the screenplay, smartly hides his profession so as not to skew how viewers see him.
Eventually, his daughter, Cleo, played by Elle Fanning, comes into the picture, surprising him with a visit while he goes through the motions on a PR tour for his newest film. She's a bubbly young eleven year old and loves her dad, even though he hasn't always been around. Her appearance in the picture once again allows us to view Johnny through a different lens. When she arrives, he is clearly happy to see her and not once does he complain to her that he is too busy. In fact, he takes her along with him on his tour and does his best to make time for her.
However, he is not always consistent, which makes him a difficult character to decipher. Sometimes women take priority, like in a scene where he sneaks one into his hotel room while Cleo sleeps, but other times the opposite is true and he blows off women to spend time with her. This inconsistency is okay, however, because that's how humans work. We don't always consider our priorities and our urges end up getting the best of us. In regards to human nature, Somewhere is the most realistic movie I've seen in quite some time.
Somewhere is a minimalist movie in sight and sound. When possible, Coppola keeps the camera still and she mercifully takes her time in telling the story, as opposed to the kinetic pace of most Hollywood productions. If there's a performance of, well, anything, you'll see it in full. You'll see a complete ice skating rehearsal and not one, but two stripteases to the end. It's slow moving, but it's never dull.
Hesitance going into the movie is understandable. It's not going to be everybody's cup of tea and the main star, Stephen Dorff, hasn't done anything interesting since, let's be honest, 1998's Blade. But don't let that stop you. Dorff gives a magnificent performance and makes you wonder why he isn't hired to star in more major films. Actually, the entire cast is up to the challenge, with the only weak standout being Chris Pontius as Johnny's best friend, though the fact that he could even remember and recite his lines seems like a minor miracle given the assumption that is he probably on some sort of drug, either for recreation or to curb the pain from his endeavors in the Jackass movies.
There is so much to discuss in Somewhere that I've only begun to scratch the surface. It's a movie that demands repeated viewings because you won't gather all of its intricacies in one sitting. I know I didn't. And that, if anything, is what makes this film great.
Somewhere receives 4/5

19927 Corporal Hari Wi Katene – NZ Pioneer (Maori) Battalion
Of Ngati Toa descent Hari Wi Katene was born on 15th October 1886[i] in Motueka, Nelson, the son of Wiremu and
Hareti / Karani Katene[ii]. Hari was one of the older children in their family of thirteen.
On the 16th November 1899 Hareti died, possibly from complication after the birth of the couple's youngest daughter, Huria Ngarongoa Katene. The family was split up with some going with Wiremu, other to whanau and the youngest
three; Frederick, Manu and Huria Ngarongoa Katene to the Anglican orphanage in Motueka[iii]. As Hari was 13 it is probable that he went to live with his father.
Hari married Te Amohau Rei they had three children[iv] with one son, Tarawara Hari Katene born on 21st December 1909[v]. Te Amohau and two sons of their sons had died prior to Hari remarrying in 1911, Isabel Campbell. The wedding was registered in Wellington where their only child, a daughter Hera, was born on 10th May 1912.
Hari and Isabel and the two children had moved to Auckland prior to late 1916 as Hari's younger brother Manu used
Hari as a next of kin when Manu enlisted on 21st October 1916.
On 14th May 1917 Hari entered military camp as part of Maori Reinforcements. 19927 Private Katene's military papers
list him as a married man with two children living at 60 Wanganui Avenue, Ponsonby, Auckland and employed as a
Civil Servant (Interpreter) for Judge Holland of the Native Land Court.
Private Katene was sent to Trentham, Wellington and on 20th June 1917 was promoted to Corporal Katene.
Corporal Katene was transferred first to the 35th Reinforcements and later to the NCO training school at the Narrow Neck Military Camp. Corporal Katene was promoted to Sergeant Katene on 28th February 1918; on 2nd March 1918 Sergeant Katene sailed with 27th Maori Reinforcements.
The 27th Maori Reinforcements arrive in Egypt on 8th April 1918 and remained for a month before being shipped to England arriving on 30th April 1918. The standard procedure was for NCO's of newly arriving reinforcement to revert to
the ranks and Sergeant Katene reverted to Temporary (T) Corporal on 15th May 1918 while at Sling Military Camp. T/Corporal Katene was on 21st June 1918 confirmed as a Corporal.
Corporal Katene was sent to No 1 NZ General Hospital for three weeks prior to being posted to the training camp at
Shirley and attached to the NZ Entrenching Battalion. Corporal Katene was still with the NZ Entrenching Battalion when
the Armistice was signed so remained in England waiting for repatriation.
Corporal Katene left Liverpool on 28th February 1919 on the
Westmoreland with other members of the NZ Maori Pioneer Battalion
including two of his brothers, 16/635 Lance Corporal Taku Katene
and 37771 Private Joe Bird Cotton (Manu Katene). Corporal Katene
arrived back in New Zealand on 6th April 1919 and following a
month's leave was discharged 'on termination of his period of
The three returning brothers Taku (left) Manu and Hari (right)
Hari's initial discharge was back to Ponsonby but by 1921 his medals
were sent to him c/- The Native Land Court, Wellington.
Hari remained in the Wellington area being involved in a number of
Land Court cases.

A federal judge called trucking company owner George Wintz Jr. "a working fool" before sentencing him to 3 1/2 years in prison for embezzlement and bank fraud in embezzlement schemes Wintz used to keep his trucking, warehousing and distribution business afloat.
Wintz, 73, of Minneapolis, is owner and president of Triangle Warehouse, which operates more than 1,000 pieces of equipment, including single and tandem axle tractors, as well as dry vans and flatbed trailers. The company offers cartage service in the seven county metropolitan area of Minneapolis/St. Paul, as well as interstate and intrastate fleet services.
After a three-week trial, jurors found Wintz guilty of two counts of bank fraud for writing batches of checks among various business accounts at Pinehurst Bank of St. Paul and Northstar Bank, inflating the account balances, and one count of embezzlement for taking money from his employees' retirement plan.
Andrew Luger, Wintz's attorney, said the trucking company owner recognizes he made terrible mistakes in check kiting schemes, but he committed the acts to keep his companies going and his employees working. "He didn't do it for personal gain," Luger said in a Star Tribunereport. Luger had argued for an alternative sentence that would have allowed Wintz to avoid prison and continue growing his business, which is thriving again.
U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery determined that sentencing guidelines could bring nearly eight years in prison, but imposed the shorter sentence because of Wintz's age and in recognition of his lifetime of industriousness in running legitimate businesses, the Star Tribune reported.
"I think you're kind of a working fool," Montgomery said.
John Anthony Markert, former president of Pinehurst Bank, was found guilty of five counts of misapplying funds for his role in approving loans to cover Wintz's check-kiting. He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday.
Longtime Triangle Warehouse executive Nancy Cook will assume the leadership of the company upon Wintz's departure. "We are confident that our customers will continue to trust us to handle their logistics business," the company said.

Our Story
Non GMO Forester Farmer's Market™ is butcher-shop quality chicken–a healthy, wholesome chicken that is rare in today's marketplace. Our nutritious, hometown quality will take you back to a time when chicken was chicken.
Most chickens today just aren't what they were in Forester, Arkansas. Forester was a small mill-town nestled in the hills of western Arkansas that sprang to life in '31 when the Mill opened. Dad grew up there during the Great Depression and World War II.
Back then, you or your neighbors grew most of the food you ate. When Ma, my grandmother, fixed chicken she used birds she raised out back. She would also trade some of those chickens to the neighbors for vegetables they had canned the previous summer. This was Forester's version of a Farmer's Market—neighbors helping neighbors. In '53 the Mill closed and the families moved away, but the legacy of one family helping another remained.
We developed our product with these simpler times in mind. Ma didn't give chickens antibiotics or hormones and neither do we. She didn't feed them animal by-products or Genetically Modified Grains† and neither do we. And like Ma, when we "debone" a chicken we do it by hand, not by machine.
My goal is to provide your family the same quality chicken that Ma cooked for Dad. Treat your family to chicken that's chicken.
Dr. Ed Fryar, Founder

Sundyne Corporation
Sundyne Corp, a subsidiary of Hamilton Sundstrand, a unit of United Technologies Corp. announced new features for the Ansimag sealess magnetic drive, non-metallic line of pumps to increase reliability and improve environmental factors for the chemical processing and steel manufacturing industries.
Sundyne now manufactures the Fully Encapsulated Drive with new molding technology and materials to improve pump inner drive chemical resistance. The reengineered impeller design will increase the Ansimag K+ pump line's flexibility and reliability for the most demanding chemical process applications, according to the company. These magnetically driven impellers are less subject to corrosion and can handle extremely caustic chemicals and solvents in temperatures of up to 250°F (120°C).
Sundyne also improved the exterior of their Ansimag magnetic drive sealless pump line with powder coating making them virtually impossible to scratch, chip or expose the pump to corrosion. This significantly increases pump life even with exposure to the harshest chemical environments. Sundyne is backing up these improvements by doubling the industry standard warranty period and providing a two-year pump warranty for all Ansimag sealless magnetic drive, non-metallic pumps.
In addition to serving chemical and water processing industries with highly reliable and environmentally friendly sealless pumps, Sundyne also has a family of API process pumps, medium duty pumps, sanitary pumps, as well as high-speed compressors that fill a wide range of purposes, including hydrocarbon processing, power generation, food and chemical processing industries.

In the US, mistaking injured narcissism and selfish interests, often unconscious, with respect and liberation, the so-called aggrieved party in the marriage makes unilateral and impulsive decisions to physically or legally separate or to pull out of marriage altogether through divorce. This aggrieved party has minimum required financial resources besides some, often unhealthy, outside emotional support. In the US where I treated many couples in marital therapy over a span of 25 years, as a licensed clinical psychologist, I was able to save through painful but effective psychological intervention many couples from the brink of divorce. This of course meant that these couples had a minimum amount of hope, good will, and commitment to persevere through months of painstaking therapy sessions to repair the marriage. In India there is very little effective psychological intervention which is still thought of as a taboo. Divorce that is a last resort is veritably a torturous procedure with ineffective, out-dated, endless, bureaucratic, socio-legal maneuverings. In the US, one of the spouses is too quick to get out of a marriage often with vicious lawyers who are ill-equipped psychologically for a humane outcome. In India, a spouse, often the woman helplessly suffers the ill-treatment in marriage.
Is then marriage that is supposed to be the most loving, beautiful, enjoyable, complementary, and mutually beneficial commitment bondage rather than the most precious blessing and comfort? We pay very little attention to preparation for marriage, the most deeply enjoyable human relationship, from which future citizens of the Kingdom of God are born. In the US an intense liking or infatuation can lead to a marriage. In India, especially in Kerala, the state where I live in, a marriage is often a commercial match-making or enterprise rather than a spiritual experience or event, dominated by men who tend to keep women in subjugation. Women in India tend to be passive, and live under learned and programmed helplessness. Some women in the US with the new consciousness of their rights coming chiefly from women's studies and liberation movements tend to be aggressive. Are these women, perhaps, overcompensating for years of oppression they or their mothers suffered?
I would like to keep the word marriage for a committed union between a man and a woman. I would like to call legal unions or contracts among, say, gays or lesbians, where permitted, civil unions with the same rights as those of marriage. An unequal marriage is a sure trap and bondage for both. For a healthy, wholesome marriage to work, essentially there needs to be equality and a will to love and commitment. A will to love and commitment is primarily cognitive that is then driven and motivated by affect. The cognitive component gives direction and control to the affective potential. It, for instance, works as reins for a pair of horses eager to take off. For the will to love and commitment to work and thrive, a generous amount of empathic relating, healthy compromise, discerning tolerance, conscious acceptance, forgiveness and reconciliation, and, above all, freedom for each spouse to be who she or he needs to be in this planet are a must.

This could also be called XML distributed architecture. For distributed computing, I expect HTTP+XML to dominate over Corba and COM in the long term. But SOAP (http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-box-http-soap-01.txt) and XML-RPC are not enough. The need for servers to publish their schemas for queries and responses is fondamental. Moreover the publication of the schemas, and their consultation by the client, allows to simplify the subsequent messages (see here the consequences for SOAP).
I you try to imagine how an application could navigate through Internet, searching resources, much like us humans navigate on Internet, starting with a search engine, and surfing from page to page, you can arrive to this solution:
