Geometris is a location based telematics and engineering company operating out of Houston, Texas USA. The company manufactures AVL devices based on GPS and GSM/GPRS networks.
In 2008, Geometris manufactured and shipped approximately 200,000 units to its customers.
Solutions
Geometris currently has 4 flagship products which are one of the few omnidirectional devices with built-in GPS and GSM antennas.
whereQube AVL: is an entry level device offered by Geometris. It includes a built-in GPS and GSM antenna, 4 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, 20 pin I/O connector and 2 LED lights.
whereQube ENG: is a vehicle diagnostic version of the whereQube. It includes a built-in GPS and GSM antenna, 4 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, 20 pin I/O connector and 2 LED lights. In addition, the device also includes CAN Bus protocols for vehicle diagnostics such as J1939, J1708, OBD and OBD II.
whereQube H²O: an IP67 rated device makes the whereQube H²O ideal for motorcycle, trailer and other weather exposed vehicles. IP67 allows the whereQube H²O to be water resistant for up to 1 meter. This device also comes with an optional accelerometer and motion sensor in the event the motorcycle turns over, the owner will be immediately notified.
All three families of the whereQube device come with the option of an internal back-up battery.
solarQube (in-development): Designed for use in harsh outdoor environments the solarQube can operate completely without access to external power and represents an opportunity to track containers, trailers, agricultural and construction equipment where existing wired solutions are too difficult or impossible to use. The solarQube utilizes proprietary shade store charging technology to capture energy even in low light conditions.

Enoughness represents a concept of consumerism wherein a conscious decision has been made to reject the notion of a need to upgrade or improve a current level of material comfort or lifestyle.
The term was first used in this context by Futurist Marcus Barber following global research into consumer trends in 2008, although the term has been used to encapture the thinking of British Economist's work Small is Beautiful although it is not known if Schumacher used the term himself.
The core condition for Enoughness is that the individual has sufficient choice over being able to consume or not, and sees no value in doing so.
Enoughness displays aligned though different characteristics to Philanthropy ; Simple Living; Satisficing and Altruism
Barber first raised the concept of Enoughness in a public forum in 2008 while working with the development arm of the City of Greater Dandenong, when discussing emerging issues in manufacturing. He has also used the term when discussing Bio fuels and Global starvation, credit issues aligned to Christmas spending, and global happiness.
What Enoughness is not:
Enoughness is not Philanthropy, wherein a well placed individual or
organisation hand selects certain causes or persons to be recipients of their generosity or support.
Enoughness is not Altruism, wherein an individual chooses to go without now, so that another may have now.
Enoughness is not 'satisficing' as there is a stronger sense of personal choice, rather than any tone of begrudging acceptance given choices available
Enoughness is not 'anti-materialism' in the sense that there is a withdrawal from a marketplace in the typical consumer model or a distinct shift against the idea of materialism in any form.
Distinct Characteristics
Barber suggests that for Enoughness to exist, there can be no forced coercion of the decision process due to strained economic conditions. Where an individual is faced with a forced down-grade in economic conditions, there is minimal control over the decision to consume or otherwise, and in such circumstances, this cannot be said to meet the conditions of Enoughness. Although it may be possible to learn about Enoughness when faced with such economic conditions, the test for Enoughness will arise only when the consumer has a choice over whether to upgrade their current material possessions.
Enoughness consumers do not reject the idea of consumerism for others, or decry consumerism itself. They have simply developed the position that their current array of material goods 'are enough' even though they are likely to be in an economic position to upgrade them, should they choose to do so.
Recent books discussing consumers, futures and economic development have also picked up on the Enoughness thread. These are and 'Resilience and the Future of Everyday Life'
Barber suggests that his research shows that the strongest signs of Enoughness exist in Scandinavian countries but also warns that there is insufficient research scope or depth to warrant the idea being tagged as a Consumer Trend. At best it would fit a pre early adopter position. See also 'The Continued Rise of Enoughness'
Stephen Aguilar-Millan of the European Futures Observatory (4) has also discussed Enoughness though likens it instead to Satificing.

Georgetown County once had many school which served isolated communities. By 1940, three clusters had emerged Georgetown, Andrews, and Pleasant Hill. Many smaller schools continue to exist today that continue to serve smaller communities, albeit those are elementary schools. The Waccamaw school cluster did not emerge until 1990.
Winyah School
The Winyah School was established on Highmarket Street in Georgetown in 1879. It served as an all-purpose school for many years. In the early 1900s, a high school building was built beside it.
In 1984, the high school building burned down. Shortly afterwards, the Winyah Grammar School was closed and Georgetown High School, Georgetown Middle School, and several smaller elementary schools were built. The original Winyah School building went unused for several years until the Winyah Auditorium Corporation Board began work to restore the historic building and make it the cultural centers of Georgetown. Most of the restoration work is now complete. In 1988, the original building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Howard High School, J.B. Beck Middle School, and West End Schools
These schools were the African American schools in Georgetown. Howard is still used as an adult education center. Beck is currently being used as the Georgetown County School District headquarters. Many of the West End buildings were torn down. An elementary building is currently the police headquarters for Georgetown.
Rosemary School
Rosemary was the African American school in Andrews. The original building was built in the 1920s on the site of what is today the National Guard Armory. In the 1950s, a new campus was built on the end of Jones Ave. This was about the same time the new Andrews High School building was built. In 1970, when integration came to Andrews, Rosemary became the middle school. In 2001, the Rosemary Middle School was moved along with Andrews High School to a new campus on County Line Road.
Pleasant Hill Schools and Chopee Schools
The Pleasant Hill Schools existed from the early 1900s until 2000. In 1938, the Pleasant Hill School was built, although smaller schools had existed in the area before that. Over the years, the Chopee schools also grew. These were the African American counterparts to the Pleasant Hill Schools. In the 1970s a new Pleasant Hill High School was built, leaving the old Pleasant Hill School to become the middle school. In the late 1990s, the Justice Department ruled that the Pleasant Hill Schools and the Chopee Schools must combine as they were determined to be still segregated. In 2000, Carvers Bay High School opened their doors. The old Pleasant Hill High School was refurbished to become Pleasant Hill Elementary School and the 1938 Pleasant Hill School was abandoned.
Murrels Inlet and Waverly Mills Schools
The precursors to the Waccamaw schools were the Murrells Inlet schools and the Waverly Mills Schools. The Murrells Inlet school continues to be used today as the magistrates office and a community center. The Waverly Mills Schools were destroyed at some point.
