We're Charlie and Ric from Shepherds Bush, London, England.
Between October 2009 and April 2010 we drove from London to Cape Town down the East coast of Africa in a Land Rover called Monty for a charity called Computer Aid.
We're back at home now wishing we were still in Africa.
Before we went we set up this site and updated it with photos and blog entries as we went down.
When we were in Namibia the host that holds the site for us got hacked and we lost it, 9 hours spent in an internet cafe got it back up and running again but there are some parts that need "tweeking" and should work soon.
Please make sure you visit the charity page on this website and donate to the cause.

We recently got into kayaking. We are novices at loading and strapping things down and frankly were a bit intimidated by the process. These straps make our loading and unloading simple, safe and secure. The webbing is tough and the padded buckle prevents vehicle damage when we throw it over the kayaks. The paddled buckle also prevents damage to the kayaks when tightened down. We have 2, 12 foot sit on top kayaks that we load onto a Thule rack system. We use 2 pairs of 15' NRS straps. Highly recommend these straps!

Great idea for tie downs when loading you gear on a vehicle, but why do we have to buy extra straps as well? Why can't we simply buy the bumpers and place them on the NRS straps we already have? Those of us who boat frequently already have a gear bag full of NRS cams. Many of us live out of our cars all season and exist on sweaty cheese and river water, so expecting us to buy all new sets of straps specifically for travel tie downs is an economic burden.

A:Twist the straps occasionally. When they are flat, they vibrate like a musical string.Answered on 7/3/2016 by Anonymous
A:I've heard that if you put a twist in the strap, it is quieter. It might also be how you are running the straps. We learned a neat way to x-cross the strap under our kayak and we don't have issues with noise. Google ways to strap down your canoe and try another way. Also are you sure it is the straps? The rack can make a lot of noise. We minimized this by taping some pipe insulation around the rack cross pieces, much quieter.Answered on 7/3/2016 by Anonymous
A:Yes, you're getting strap flutter. Make sure the straps are twisted at
least a couple of turns everywhere it doesn't touch the canoe. You may need
more turns sometimes but usually 2-3 wil do. Experiment with it. I'm a
whitewater kayaker and see this often.

Mirror Entity
|Copy, Secret, Summon
|Summoning-related, Triggered effect
Secret: After your opponent plays a minion, summon a copy of it.
"You go first." - Krush'gor the Behemoth, to his pet boar.
Mirror Entity is a common mage spell card, from the Classic set.
How to get[edit | edit source]
Mirror Entity can be obtained through Classic card packs, through crafting, or as an Arena reward. Golden Mirror Entity can also be obtained through the Highest Rank Bonus chest at the end of each Ranked season.
|Crafting cost
|Mirror Entity
|Golden Mirror Entity
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Like the other Secrets that trigger when your opponent plays a minion from their hand (Repentance, Snipe, Sacred Trial), Mirror Entity triggers in the After Play Phase following the Battlecry Phase. This means that all effects and death processing related to the minion's Battlecry resolve before the game queues and resolves Secrets such as Mirror Entity.
- Mirror Entity, Sacred Trial, Snipe and Repentance all trigger in order of play.
- Minions are copied in every detail, including current stats and card text.
- If the player already reached the limit of 7 minions when an enemy minion is played, Mirror Entity will not trigger.
- As Mirror Entity minions are not played from the hand, any Battlecries possessed by them will not be activated. However, like all secrets, Mirror Entity takes effect after any Battlecries from the triggering minion.
- One example of the above rule can be seen when copying a minion such as Frostwolf Warlord whose Battlecry potentially modifies its own stats. For example, if a Frostwolf Warlord is played alongside 4 other minions, its Battlecry will result in an 8/8 Frostwolf Warlord. If Mirror Entity triggers from that minion, it will produce an 8/8 Frostwolf Warlord, but that minion's Battlecry will not activate. In this way Mirror Entity can copy the consequences of the target minion's Battlecry, but will not activate it for the copy minion. However, if the copy is returned to the player's hand and then played, the Battlecry will activate normally.
- This can work to the mage's advantage when Mirror Entity triggers against strong units with negative Battlecry effects, such as King Mukla, Leeroy Jenkins, and many Demon cards, making Mirror Entity a good play early-on against warlocks, who often accept discard effects or self-damage in order to summon powerful, low-cost minions.
- Due to bugs, Mirror Entity will copy a played minion even if it is already reduced to 0 or less Health by Snipe,[1] already removed from play,[2] only alive due to a friendly +Health Aura,[3][4] or if it is mortally wounded but a friendly Health Aura saves it from dying.[5]
- Mirror Entity only triggers if the minion is still controlled by the opponent player after the Battlecry finishes.[6] Mirror Entity will also not copy the 'pending destroy' effect of Sacred Trial (played before it), and the copy will survive.[7]
Strategy[edit | edit source]
This card is best played in the late game, as it has a higher chance to copy a strong minion then. It is also useful for countermanding an opponent with an empty board who may attempt to play in a large minion to regain board presence. In fact, a good strategy to coerce your opponent into giving you a free minion is to flood your side of the battlefield with smaller minions or a large one of you own, as this will likely prompt them to play something costly in order to defend themselves.
When playing against a Mage, this secret can be baited by playing a weak minion before playing any larger ones. If this secret does not trigger, you are safe to play larger minions; if the secret does trigger, it will only copy the weak minion, and you will then be free to play larger ones. Playing a weak minion also may allow you to attack with them, possibly dealing with Vaporize, another popular Mage secret. The effect of Mirror Entity can also be mitigated somewhat by playing an understatted minion with a powerful non-buffing Battlecry: the Battlecry will only activate for the original minion, and not for the copy. Bear in mind though that if the Battlecry buffs the summoned minion, Mirror Entity will copy the buff along with the minion, making cards like Twilight Drake most often a bad choice.
Lore[edit | edit source]
This spell doesn't seem to have a precise match in Warcraft lore. However, mages are well-known as masters of illusions, able to summon multiple fully-functioning images of themselves to assist in battle or even teaching and spell-casting, such as through the spell Mirror Image.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- This card's art is a reference to Valve's Portal game series. The games feature a "portal gun" capable of opening small wormholes between two locations through which the player and other objects can pass, with one portal appearing light blue and the other orange. The two modes of the portal gun also caused it to glow the colour of the corresponding portal, similar to the mage's hands in this card's art. The mage also has a necklace and a badge on his left arm resembling the Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube and Aperture Science logo respectively. However, the portals only move objects around, they do not mirror or duplicate them.

Patch changes[edit | edit source]

Chronicling Red Sox Shortstops Since Nomar
Shortstop: Generally considered the most important defensive position in baseball aside from the pitcher-catcher battery. Responsible for a substantial amount of infield terrain, he chosen to man this position is looked to as the centerpiece of an infield.
Theo Epstein: Promoted from within the Red Sox organization, heralded as a boy wonder. Since taking the helm at General Manager in 2003, Epstein has been the face of a new era in Red Sox baseball — one that has featured 6 95-win seasons, 6 trips to the postseason, 4 ALCS appearances, and 2 World Series victories. Criticized probably too often for his edgy approach that emphasizes statistical analysis, in a results-based business, he's produced 'em.
These two entities, though, have not mixed well.
In a pattern more disturbing than that of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Epstein's Red Sox have featured 7 shortstops that at one time laid claim to the starting role, and the 8th — Marco Scutaro — will be throwing his hat into the ring less than 2 weeks. I personally don't know why it's been so difficult for Boston to settle on one, but I will at least provide a comprehensive timeline of the revolving door at a position of importance.
In 2003, Nomar Garciaparra put up his last full Major League season as a shortstop. This was also the last full season in which Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, and Alex Rodriguez would be considered the "Holy Trinity" of Major League shortstops, with Nomar succumbing to injury the next few years and moving to first base when he finally found, for one season, health with the Dodgers. Rodriguez, meanwhile, would move next to Jeter on the diamond, when he became the Yankees' third baseman the following year.
A Red Sox legend, Garciaparra put up his standard excellent season offensively, playing in 156 games and batting .301 with a .345 OBP and a .524 slugging percentage. He also managed to steal 19 bases and hit third for most of the season in an historically potent lineup. He also fielded fairly well, with defensive metrics saying that he saved the team 2 runs over the course of the season; given his offensive output, this was plenty acceptable.
Following the season, though, Garciaparra was the subject of a whirlwind of trade rumors, as the Sox were in hot pursuit of Rodriguez, willing to part with Manny Ramirez (and, many forget, a little-known pitching prospect by the name of Jon Lester) to acquire the shortstop that was regarded by many to be the best player in baseball. Garciaparra, who would reach free agency following the season and had already turned down a $60 million deal from the club, w0uld in a separate deal be swung to the Chicago White Sox for Magglio Ordonez, who would take Ramirez's place in left field.
The deals fell through and Nomar's relationship with the Red Sox was strained. To make matters worse, in Spring Training, Nomar suffered an Achiles tendon injury and opened the season on the disabled list. Pokey Reese served as the club's shortstop for the opening two months in his stead and wowed teammates and fans alike with his much heralded defense. All the same, when Nomar returned in early June, the position was his, and he produced: in his 38 games with Boston in 2004, Garciaparra hit .321/.367/.500. The injury, though, forced him to take frequent days off, and it also had a very clear effect on his defense; over the course of a full season, Garciaparra would have cost the team almost 16 runs had he stuck around.
Seeing that the defense was hurting the team but also noting that Reese was simply putrid offensively, Epstein made an extremely bold move at the 2004 trade deadline, bringing in Orlando Cabrera (along with first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz of the Twins) from the Montreal Expos to fill his spot, shipping Garciaparra to the Chicago Cubs. Cabrera immediately stepped in and won over the fans, playing remarkably steady defense and producing well enough offensively, posting a .785 OPS. The team, too, finally gelled and approached 100 wins as September rolled into October. A month later, as the starting shortstop on the first Red Sox team to win a World Series in 86 years, Cabrera was fully embraced by Red Sox Nation.
Cabrera was also a free agent. There were many compelling reasons to re-sign him: he had proven he could play under the pressure of Boston, he had developed fantastic chemistry with his teammates, and he had produced in his three month stay. There was however, a good reason not to.
Edgar Renteria, formerly of the Cardinals — and one of few who had played well in the World Series against Boston — was also on the market. Renteria had for years been recognized as a shortstop just below the quality of the Jeter-Rodriguez-Garciaparra oligarchy, and Epstein wanted him. In the December following the World Series victory, Renteria signed a 4 year deal with Boston worth $40 million. Cabrera went to the Angels for the same length and $32 million.
Renteria disappointed mightily in 2005. He committed 30 errors and his range evaporated. He was mediocre at best offensively and struggled hitting second in the lineup. Following the season, Epstein quickly gave up on what had once been an apple to his eye and traded him to the Atlanta Braves, along with a ton of cash in exchange for top prospect Andy Marte. Marte would later that offseason be the centerpiece of the trade that would bring Coco Crisp to Boston.
Following the horrible defensive play of Renteria and perhaps having watched Cabrera put on a season-long fielding clinic in Anaheim, Epstein focused on bringing in someone that could field the position at a top-notch level for 2006. Alex Gonzalez had previously spent his career with Florida and was recognized as one of the top defensive shortstops in the game, worthy of a starting spot despite limited offensive output (though he did have a bit of a knack for power, and had hit 23 home runs in 2004). Gonzalez played 111 games with Boston in the season that has gone down as the only one under Epstein wherein the Sox did not reach the postseason. He was referred to more than once as the best defender to ever play the position for the team, and his smooth hands and calm demeanor in the field would haunt Sox fans in the 2 and a half seasons following.
It was no fault of Gonzalez's that Epstein let him go following the season. The 3 year deal he signed with Cincinatti was perhaps a bit much, and he did miss the 2008 season with injury, but without doubt, it likely proved more valuable than what Boston brought in next. Julio Lugo had been mentioned in trade rumors involving the Sox for years prior and when he reached free agency, it was clear that the team would be in the market for his services. Without doubt, Lugo had been a productive player in his time spent with Tampa Bay. However, his fielding was erratic and after being traded to the Dodgers halfway through 2006, he put up a .545 OPS in 164 at-bats. That sample size was small and perhaps bringing Lugo on would have been a shrewd transaction at the right price, but the 4 year, $36 million deal he was granted put lofty expectations on the new leadoff hitter right away.
Lugo did not last half a season leading off and was demoted to the bottom of the lineup in June, having posted a .568 OPS in his first 80 games with the Red Sox. In the field, he was covering a lot of ground, but he was also making a lot of errors and would total 19 for the regular season. He did, however, hit well in the second half, steal 33 bases, and redeem himself with a leaping catch to save runs in the sixth inning of Game 3 of the World Series against the Colorado Rockies. The Sox would win the Series and, having obviously not ruined the team's chance of success, the team and fans were ready to grant him a mulligan in 2008.
Lugo's 2008 was an interesting one while it lasted. He got on-base at a fine .355 clip but produced virtually no power. This was generally considered decent enough for the bottom of the lineup, but rookie infielder Jed Lowrie was producing when he got the chance to play; the success of other Red Sox youngsters such as Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury had those around and following the team wondering if Lowrie could be the next successful product of the farm system. When Lugo suffered a serious knee injury in July that ended his season early, Lowrie got his chance to fill in.
The Stanford graduate received the bulk of the playing time in a platoon with utility man Alex Cora over the remainder of the season and finished with a .258/.339/.400 line. His fielding caused some debate, though: defensive metrics said he performed extraordinarily well at the position, but to the naked eye, he seemed awkward in the position, usually requiring a step or two before he threw. There was also some concern regarding his horrible September, when he hit just .213. When it came to pass that he had been playing with an injured wrist down the stretch, though, it seemed that he was poised for a breakout 2009 campaign.
The apparent plan for 2009 mirrored a strategy that had worked well for the club in 2009: Lugo would be the starting veteran shortstop, but Lowrie would get ample playing time at the position and serve as the backup infielder at second and third base. This was how Ellsbury accumulated playing time in his rookie year, with Crisp primarily manning center field. It was further understood that if Lowrie was seriously outperforming Lugo, he would get the opportunity to play everyday. The older of the duo, though, was not yet fully healed from the injury that had cost him the second half of 2008 and thus Lowrie served as the Opening Day shortstop.
His opportunity to shine lasted five games. The wrist, it turned out, had not fully healed and Lowrie hit the disabled list. With both Lowrie and Lugo out, career journeyman Nick Green, who had been expected to spend his season as storage in Pawtucket, was called upon to fill the role. Green performed admirably in April and May, posting OPS's of .782 and .784 respectively, but lacked range in the field and the bat fell apart following the two strong months; he finished the season with a .236/.303/.366 line.
Lugo returned in time for May and actually hit quite well. However, the lingering effects of the injury required that he and Green split time, and it became quickly apparent that the two aspects of his game that had given him any prior value — his range and his speed — were gone; the injury had made him a player with very little to provide the Red Sox. When Lowrie returned in July, the roster crunch demanded that either Green or Lugo was let go; Epstein swallowed his pride and again let a high-priced shortstop that he had signed on the open market go. Designated for assignment, Lugo was traded to the Cardinals — like Renteria, with a hefty sum of cash — a week later for Chris Duncan, who would never play a game with Boston. Lowrie, almost comically, ended up on the disabled list again in short time.
In early August, Epstein swung a trade for Gonzalez, bringing 2006's starting shortstop back to Boston for the remainder of the season. For two months, Gonzalez was plugged in to play every day. Though injury and a couple of years' worth of further aging had limited his range some, he was extremely steady in the field and at last provided some semblance of consistency and reliability at a position that had been a mess to that point of the season. Gonzalez played 44 games in his second stint with the Sox and hit better than expected, posting a .769 OPS and five home runs (he had posted only a .554 OPS and 3 homers in 68 games with Cincinatti in the first part of the season). All the same, when the season ended, Epstein — again — let Gonzalez walk, this time to Toronto.
And — again — Epstein went after the top shortstop on the market. A lot differs between Marco Scutaro and Edgar Renteria or Julio Lugo, though. For one, Scutaro is an extremely patient hitter who better fits the offensive prototype that has driven Red Sox offenses since 2003. To his detriment, however, Scutaro does not have nearly the track record of success that either Lugo or Renteria had prior to coming to Boston. What makes this deal infinitely more palatable, though, is its size and its length: the Red Sox are only comitted to Scutaro for 2 years and $12.5 million in guaranteed money. At this price, Scutaro could function as a utility man, albeit an expensive one, for the club should he fail to produce. Steady in the field and coming off his best offensive season, though, the Sox certainly are expecting more of the new shortstop. Fans, too, will likely fall for Scutaro, a "dirt dog" of the same cloth as Trot Nixon, Dustin Pedroia, and Kevin Youkilis (assuming, of course, that he produces).
The length of the deal, though, certainly warrants another question: what's next? Scutaro will be 34 this season and is likely not to be back after his current deal (it includes an option for a third year, but that will almost certainly be the extent of his run in Boston). Who will be the next to walk through the revolving door?
Cuban youngster Jose Iglesias is already turning heads since being signed to a contract worth more than $8 million last summer. His fielding is already very highly-touted and the brass holds out hope that he will be able to develop well offensively. This is a value-driven front office, and at that money, it is likely that they are going to give Iglesias every opportunity to eventually become the club's starting shortstop. Lowrie, too, is an option for the future, but his star has certainly fallen since a year ago and he will need to prove his health before the Red Sox are willing to advance his career any further. Further options will, of course, include free agents in the years coming forth or major trade candidates. Whenever Hanley Ramirez's name is drifted, for instance, the club's usually doesn't fall very far behind it.
Whatever comes next at the position, the best bet is to not count on anything. Filling it has been an elusive task for Epstein and the front office and we'd best continue to expect that it will remain as such. For now, it's Scutaro's spot to lose. We'll soon see whether or not he does.

When a 12-year-old from Detroit moves to China with his mother and incurs the wrath of the class bully at his new school, he makes an unlikely ally in the form of his aging maintenance man, a kung fu master who teaches him the secrets to self-defense. Upon arriving at his new school, Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) develops a powerful crush on pretty classmate Mei Ying. The feeling is mutual, although the cultural divide between Dre and Mei Ying makes a friendship unlikely, and romance impossible. When cruel classmate and kung fu prodigy Cheng learns of Dre's feelings for Mei Ying, he harasses and humiliates the young outsider in front of the entire school. With no one to turn to for help, Dre confides his fears in kindly maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), a kung fu master who knows that serenity and maturity -- not punches and power -- are the true keys to mastering the martial arts. As Dre prepares to face down his intimidating tormentor, he begins to realize that the real fight is just beginning. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An index of sustainable economic welfare for Poland
The index of sustainable economic welfare (ISEW) developed by HE Daly and JB Cobb Jr is an attempt to create a measure of sustainable development. In this paper, we have computed the ISEW for Poland for the years 1980-97. It turns out that after some fluctuations in 1980-85, a decline of the index in 1986-90 is observed. The ISEW reached its lowest values in 1989-90. Up to 1995, we can observe a growth dynamic at the beginning and falling in succeeding years, which eventually shows a tendency back downward that started in 1996. It seems that the recent decrease in ISEW can be attributed to categories such as long-term environmental damage, ozone layer depletion, losses caused by commuting and road accidents. Moreover, growing welfare inequalities penalize the value of ISEW in recent years much more significantly than before. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. and ERP Environment

Thanks to Nate at The Digital Reader for his comprehensive write-up of the new Goodreads content policy designed to 'protect' authors from cyber-bullying by overly exuberant readers. Goodreads couched the announcement as a friendly 'note regarding reviews' and it begins with 'reviews should be about the book' and then goes from there.
The new measures include revised author guidelines, which Goodreads says it developed because "it's clear that some problems have come up because some authors who are new to Goodreads don't know what's appropriate on Goodreads and/or take matters into their own hands rather than flagging content that they feel is inappropriate" and also adds they they are working on 'improving' how authors are 'introduced' to Goodreads.
I appreciate that there has been a need for some content management here, and it's gratifying that Goodreads is putting mechanisms in place to have inappropriate content removed more easily. But do people really not know how to behave online? Does an author—an alleged professional—really need to be told to be nice to other people? It seems they do, and that's sad. But that's a manners issue, not an internet one, isn't it?

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Merck' started by Anonymous, Sep 8, 2006 at 5:45 PM.
Lots leave, but do you really care?
Karen Delatorre
Cindy McKown
True concern for the patient, e.g. George Merck, not the fake-'em-out concern we see on prime time TV.
Research pipeline,
Nobody misses me, but I left because those above left before me.
You're not alone friend. I and a number of others left for
many of the same reasons.
But we are diverse and proud of it. Cannot perform but we are diverse!!!
Jerry Keller! A bright and shining light as a sales VP, when you went to a meeting where Jerry spoke you always came home feeling great about your job and wanting to go back out and sell better. When you get home from meetings now you want to see a psychologist instead. Merck is now beating the reps to death with all levels of management and what folks don't realize is that soon Merck will not be able to hire and retain class people anymore, they'll go somewhere else. The job's too hard getting the shit beat out of you every day by customers that don't respect Merck or the industry to have management beating you as well. After Vioxx Merck should be happy as hell to have anyone with tenure staying with us and should act accordingly. Remember because of the way it is handled most managers do not know of the numbers of doctors in any territory with a Vioxx lawsuits or the angst caused by them. Merck management does not get it!!
When Merck let Keller go it was an ominous sign for the sales force and accurately portended the negative future we have experienced. The lack of confidence and angst shared by Merck senior management continues to flow down to the reps where it is manifested and felt as a threatening and hostile corporate environment. That kind of motivation ultimately fails as Merck continues to demonstrate.
You're so naive. Vioxx was not a diversity issue. QCS is a great idea that is poorly executed and contradicted by metrics. Yes, Tyrone is less than effective, but so are other non-diverse Merck V.P.s and execs. Merck's diversity numbers are still far below the national percentages, with the exception of Caucasian women. Yes, Caucasian women are considered a part of diversity in corporate America. And no I am not a diversity hire!
Your momma left... and I don't care.
Art Kryschak...one hell of a rep from WI.
Not really, now that loosers like you still are there.
It's "losers" you dolt! Check your spelling!
Respect --ed to get it from customers and internally -- we ruined our relationship with the customers by over hiring and over selling -- and we dont get it from the inside -- because we have check off sheets and managers who ust roll it out and do not speak up
Jon Curran - Made mistakes but the best SBD I ever worked for!
The diversity agenda is a prime symptom of the disease. In and of itself it sounds noble and harmless in theory, but in practice it morphs into a cancer on any organization. No, I am not talking about hiring qualified candidates who happen to be people of color, but the inevitable mandating of QUOTAS etc.. This goes along with micro-management of the sales force, lying about research findings, arbitrary and capricious terminations for anyone who steps out of line, etc.. All are indicators that they don't trust you anymore, and are very concerned that you might cause some public embarrassment to the company that, God forbid, will end up in the WSJ and cause the stock to drop. The company agenda is driven solely by self preservation, public relations, and managing the stock price. Ethics, and morality become quaint concepts for sloganeering by the marketing and HR departments. This is the recipe for destroying a company.
"In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory. In practice there is."
That is hits the bullseye my friend. Well done.
Thank you Yogi.
Start with Roy Vagelos, and the company goes downhill from there. While a forced retirement, he was still healthy, a sginificant force in the company and the industry, and in hindsight, probably the rudder on the ship. Why was he not kept on as Chairman of the Board until the mandatory retirement age for Board members?
What is the primary reason that talented people have left Merck? Simple, the Merck of today is not the Merck that was named the most admired corporation in America for 7 years in a row in the late 80's and early 90's. It was innovative, and had a rich pipeline of commercially attractive products. People enjoyed working for Merck, and were richly rewarded for their contributions as their stock holdings and options increased in value. Salary and bonus is not enough - you can get that anywhere.
The last major product introduction was Vioxx in 1998. Since that no longer exists, go back to Singulair in 1996, or 10 years ago. No company can grow with such a lackluster performance on new product launches, especially one that has a string of current and impending patent expiries. The math is simple to all but Ray Gilmartin (the person we miss the least).
What I most miss is the "old Merck", and I don't believe that we will ever see it again.

South Carolina senior guard Sindarius Thornwell is the SEC Player of the Week after averaging 36 points, 12.5 rebounds and three assists per game last week versus Alabama and at Mississippi State.
The weekly honor is the third Player of the Week award of his career, and the second this season.Thornwell was named SEC Freshman of the Week three times during his rookie campaign of 2013-14.
INDIAN LAND – The Indian Land Lady Warriors finished strong to advance to round two in the Class AAA Upper State basketball playoffs with a 54-38 win over Mid-Carolina of Prosperity on Monday night in the Lady Warriors' gym.
The IL girls, co-champions of Region IV-AAA, closed out the win over the Lady Rebels with a key 18-9 final period run to seal the 16-point win.
Indian Land, 11-8, was sparked by all-region selection Tianah Miller, who scored nine of her 13 points in the final period.
BUFORD – Andrew Jackson High boys basketball coach Danny Wright expected a tough night, and got it and also got a win.
The seventh-ranked Volunteers, with their share of tough defense, proved too strong in taking a 53-42 win over the scrappy Buford Yellow Jackets on Friday night.
"I was happy to get this rivalry win," Wright said. "I was proud of my guys for playing hard because we knew that is what it would take."
Two weeks ago, the S.C. Senate passed a bill that would lay the groundwork for the governor to appoint the state superintendent of education — making the Department of Education a cabinet agency and fully accountable to the governor. The bill has yet to pass the House, but a similar bill passed the House last session.
Last winter, the Committee to Incorporate Van Wyck, which I chaired, began advocating for the incorporation of Van Wyck as a defense against the involuntary annexation of Van Wyck by the proposed Town of Indian Land.
In 1929, Gaffney native W.J. Cash wrote his seminal book "The Mind of the South."
Every subsequent attempt to understand the mind (and soul) of the South necessarily starts with this book. It has been so since it was written and will probably continue to be so for generations to come. It is that good.
The premise of Cash's book is that there is a distinctive Southern mind, and I believe there is also a "sub-species" native to the Palmetto State that we could call the South Carolina mind.

REVIEW: Eizo CG275W
Author: Denis Freund
Following the discontinuation of the CG303W, the CG275W is the largest model in the Eizo "ColorGraphic" series. Its 27-inch panel is a H-IPS variant from LG and is also used in the Eizo SX2762W, for example. The resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels is only barely exceeded, even by 30-inch computer monitors. Thanks to the WCG-CCFL backlight, the colour range of the monitor is very good.
Eizo CG275W (Photo: Eizo)
One highlight of this monitor is its integrated colorimeter. This allows calibration and profiling to be carried out comfortably and without the need for additional checks using the "Color Navigator" software that is included in the latest Version 6, offering a large number of new functions. The programmable 16bit 3D-LUT transforms the input signal precisely, without any loss. The monitor also offers colour space emulation for working without colour management software.
Colour measurement devices: X-Rite i1 Pro, X-Rite DTP94
The cable set provided includes DVI-D, DisplayPort, USB and power cables. A light shielding hood prevents unwanted light from shining on the screen and also combats undesired reflections. Users should not forget to attach this hood, especially when using the integrated colorimeter.
The most important component of the CD included is Version 6.0 of the Color Navigator software, which is updated to Version 126.96.36.199 after installation. The disc also includes the full user manuals for the monitor and the software, with a short summary of these included in hard copy with the monitor. A two-sided information sheet is provided as proof of accurate factory calibration: this contains measurements related to the image homogeneity and the "base Gradation" achieved.
Despite the integrated colorimeter, the Eizo CG275W hardly differs from the SX2762W at all in terms of appearance. Unlike the CG245W, the model does not have a broad bar at the top edge of the screen. The colorimeter is "hidden" in the lower from and is hardly noticeable in its recessed position.
The integrated colorimeter in its recessed position.
The dark, rasped plastic casing is flawless and surrounds a massive metal cage.
The Eizo CG275W.
On the left and right hand sides, the frame is around 2.1cm wide. The upper section of the frame is about half a centimetre wider, whilst the lower part with the sensor measures a good 3.5cm.
Detailed view of height adjustment.
The manufacturing quality of the massive Eizo CG275W is flawless. We did not find any larger gaps. Only the controls did not quite match in with the monitor's very high quality appearance, although they –like the panel- fit perfectly into place.

How come Fort Macon is not
How come Fort Macon is not listed? It is a beautiful site, and also Beaufort, NC, a beautuiful and historic town in it's own right.
Good afternoon,
Good afternoon,
Thank you for visiting NCpedia and sharing this question. It's a great question!
The reason Fort Macon is not listed here is somewhat of a technicality. The places listed in this article are generally historic sites that are not part of the NC State Parks system. Fort Macon is now a State Park and is listed under NCpedia's state parks entry -- http://ncpedia.org/exploring-state-parks. There is also an article on Fort Macon -- http://ncpedia.org/fort-macon-state-park.
I have also just added a link to this entry to the state parks page on NCpedia, in the event that others are looking for similar information or have similar questions.
Thank you for pointing this out to us!
Best wishes,

Your list is impressive and
Your list is impressive and helpful in that it lists state and national sites but what would really benefit the traveler would be a list that includes local sites as well. Also, an alphabetic list of sites is fairly useless if you're visiting a region of the state. More helpful would be a map with the sites pinpointed and numbered with aN corresponding legend.
Thanks for your input, Karen.
Thanks for your input, Karen. We love getting suggestions on how to improve NCpedia. We will consider alternative ways to present this information. VisitNC.com is another great resource for travellers. If you have any other ideas, please let us know!

Late starters or excluded generations? A cohort analysis of catch up in home ownership in England
England has very volatile house prices. Using survey data spanning multiple house-price cycles over nearly forty years, we document the association between house prices and homeownership at age thirty. We then use synthetic cohort methods to assess whether differences in early ownership rates persist in later life. We find that ownership rates at age thirty have varied substantially, with a significant negative association with prices. Measurement error problems - attenuation and other biases - complicate an analysis of the persistence of these differences in ownership. We use two methods to deal with this. Both indicate that cohorts with low ownership rates at age thirty close about 80% of the ownership gap by age forty.

motion detection with webcam trigger
I have very little experience with MAX and I'm trying to create an installation with the following characteristics:
1) In a dark room where inside the room there is a projector that shine on one of the walls. This projector is only activated when someone enters the room.
2) There is a webcam directed at the entrance of the room. There will be light outside of the installation room so the background once the door opens will be bright/white.
3) As soon as somebody is standing at the entrance, they appear as a silhouette and move into the room.
4) When motion is detected, solid, changing colors (fading into each other) from a color generator patch will be shone on the wall.
5) The more the people move or the greater the amount of motion or area is detected by the webcam when entering the room or moving around the room, the quicker the transition between the colors in the projection. If there is little movement or none at all, the projection should fade to black.
I have the patch for the color generator but but I'm missing the patch for the motion detection and then the trigger that connects the colors to the motion detection.
Is there anyone out there that can please help me? I'm having an insanely hard time. Thank you in advance.
Let's see what you have so far. Post your patch… someone might just tinker with it…
From what I've read it seems I have to work out a threshold so that when there is movement, that would change the mean value and then that could be the trigger.
Ignore the Second attachment.
Hi Maggal
I am doing an installation and need basically the same info as you were looking for: 1. Detection of movement (off/on) 2. the amount of movement. Did you manage to figure this out? And if so would you share this part of your patch?
These objects may be very useful to you:
Keep in mind that when the door opens the camera will register a huge change, so you will need to set a threshold below which data is ignored (perhaps using jit.3m).

Foxconn Facing Display Shortages as it Struggles to Meet iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Demand
The Taiwan-based manufacturer, which has more than one million workers in China, is operating about 100 production lines around the clock in Zhengzhou. The challenge is to manufacture two complicated new iPhones on a large scale at the same time because Foxconn is the sole assembler of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. It also makes the majority of the iPhone 6 that comes with a 4.7-inch display, the people said.Foxconn reportedly has hired more than 200,000 workers at its Zhengzhou site to work on Apple's new iPhone. Even with this large labor force and daily output volumes of 140,000 iPhone 6 Plus units and 400,000 iPhone 6 units, the company is still not able to meet pre-order demand.
One issue reportedly facing the manufacturer is a shortage of 5.5-inch displays, which are still only at being produced at a 50-60 percent output rate, leading suppliers to reject almost half of the display units that come off the production line.
Apple has faced similar shortages with previous iPhone models and has been able to gradually ramp up supply to meet demand. Apple will begin selling its new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus starting Friday, September 19th in a handful of launch countries. A larger global rollout is planned the following week with sales beginning on September 26th.

Shocking news would be, "Apple fulfils demand for new iphone at launch"
140k iPhone 6+ per day
400k iPhone 6 per day.
Reports of July ramp up, lets put 6 working days in there:
140*26 = 3.64M units before launch
400*26 = 10.4M units before launch
And its still NOT ENOUGH?! Dang it Apple, get your act together!
HHahaha right.
You are such the expert. Please tell us more areas of improvement for Apple.
Does it take an expert to figure out that simple math problem??
Am I the only one who knows that most of this is by design on Apples end?
There is a difference between knowing and assuming.. What you are doing is assuming.
Human beings tend to always want what they can't have...so by making supply shorter, it creates a mini panic and people who were on the fence suddenly HAVE to have it. It's simple psychology. The day apple meets demand on launch day is the day people start saying "Eh, maybe next year". Fantastic marketing.
Take a look at Playstation and Xbox launches..they do the same thing. All intentional to drive demand higher.
Again these are only assumptions. What you don't factor into your reasoning is the scale of manufacturing that needs to be built up. All Foxconn factories are on hyperdrive to produce iPhones (this is fact, not assumed) the moment it is ready for production. There is no artificial scarcity when a company is introducing the world's most popular smartphone in many countries simultaneously.
What you are also forgetting to include in your argumentation is that Apple is one of the few manufacturers that has a pure one-year refresh strategy for phones. If Apple would wait with the launch until it can satisfy global demand, than the update cycle would be closer to 1.5-2 years and Apple would have problems keeping the devices attractive in terms of specs and functionality. Samsung, LG and HTC would be running circles around Apple in terms of specs and updates.
This is not nearly as simple as you make it out to be.
