between a military search and rescue robot and an unpopular
schoolkid. When Henry (Bobby Coleman) finds an abandoned robot
called Cody (voice of Jae Head) in a dumpster, he decides to take
it home and fix it. As Cody then becomes conscious, Henry soon
realises that he is much more than a toy when it becomes apparent
that the military lab that created Cody would very much like to get
him back.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth International
Conference on the Micromechanics of Granular Media, Powders and
Grains 2005. Powders and Grains is an international scientific
conference held every 4 years that brings together engineers and
physicists interested in the micromechanics of granular media. The
book is a guide to the hottest topics in the general problem of the
microscopic description and understanding of granulates. Powders
and Grains offer an excellent overview of the state of the art
research on granular media. Authors from all over the world and
different backgrounds discuss their most up-to-date research
interests and results in more than 280 concise articles. Included
are experimental, numerical, and theoretical investigations by both
engineers and physicists. The result is a valuable tool for
engineers, physicists as well as for applied mathematicians,
geologists, and other scientists concerned with problems ranging
from the most basic and theoretical, to the daily problems of
industry production, process performance or construction design.
When depressed and withdrawn Catharine meets a secretive boy
online, she begins to come out of her shell. But is he a suitor or
a stalker, a friend or foe? The mystery of his existence fuels
obsession, denial and deceit, sending her to the point of no
return. The film was inspired by the writer-director's own
experience parenting his teenage daughter in the world of
cyberspace. "@urFRENZ," writer-director Jeff Phillips' is the first
narrative feature film to address the growing crisis of
cyberbullying, the number one hot button issue between parents and
teens today. The story about the lives of teens, their families and
the lure and danger of social networking sites, @urFRENZ explores
the themes of communication, the public and private self,
obsession, and how we use technology to manipulate identity. The
title (pronounced "at your friends") is derived from the name of
the social networking site that connects all of the characters. In
an accompanying journal, Jeff Phillips discusses the genesis of the
idea for the film and the lengthy process it took to write and
bring it to the screen. @urFRENZ: the shooting script also includes
his production notes written exclusively for this edition, and a
chapter on the film's festival history up to its theatrical
release. With an introduction by Sean MacNamara, director of "Soul
Surfer."
