The effect of financial constraints, absorptive capacity and complementarities on the adoption of multiple process technologies
This paper investigates the factors affecting the multiple adoption of new process technologies in manufacturing. We focus our attention on the effect of both financial resources and absorptive capacity on the decision to introduce the technology. We argue in favour of a negative effect of financial constraints and provide reasons for a differential effect of internal and external R&D on innovation adoption. Additionally, the methodology allows us to consider the possible complementarities arising when firms adopt several new process technologies. Our results show that financial constraints are dependent on the technology analyzed, whereas only internal R&D investments are strong predictors of adoption. We are also able to present evidence that the three technologies analyzed (numerically controlled machines, computer aided design and robotics) are, to some extent, complementary.

Red Bull chief Horner brands Mercedes 'naive'
Mercedes have been branded "naive" by Christian Horner, the Red Bull team principal, as they weigh up whether to punish Lewis Hamilton for defying team orders.
Hamilton's Mercedes team were angry with his tactics in the title-deciding Abu Dhabi GP as he backed team-mate Nico Rosberg into the clutches of the chasing pack in a desperate bid to win the championship.
Mercedes feared the ploy would cost the team victory and issued two instructions for the Briton to pick up his pace, both of which were ignored.
Toto Wolff, the Mercedes boss, hinted at disciplinary proceedings against Hamilton after the race, with the team to determine in the coming days what, if any, action they will take against the triple world champion.
Hamilton needed Rosberg to finish fourth or lower to win the title and Horner, who oversaw Red Bull's four consecutive driver and team championships between 2010 and 2013, gave his support to the British driver.
"It was only ever going to be that kind of battle between the two of them," Horner said. "He won the race as slowly as he could.
"It's like in a football game where the team might protect from the opposition by kicking the ball around and not enabling the opposition to get hold of the ball. I didn't see that he did anything wrong.
"Congratulations to Nico, he's driven a great season and is a very worthy world champion. But it was naive to think there would be any different approach to this race with what's at stake.
"Winning the race was never going to be enough for Lewis and he drove a tactical race. He didn't do anything dirty, he didn't do anything against the rules. I think it would be unfair to criticise Lewis for the way that he drove."
Mercedes, who sealed the constructors' championship with three races to spare, strengthened their so-called 'Rules of Engagement' earlier this season after Hamilton and Rosberg crashed in Spain and then Austria. They were both warned that they would be fined, or even banned, if they broke the strict terms which had been agreed.
Orders ignored
And Hamilton's disregard for their orders during the Abu Dhabi race would appear to go against the rules laid down by Formula One's all-conquering team.
Hamilton was scheduled to speak to the written media on Sunday night, but in the wake of Wolff's remarks his session was mysteriously cancelled.
In an earlier televised press conference, Hamilton said: "I'm out there fighting and I generally never try to do anything to harm the team or the brand or anything like that.
"But we've won the constructors' championship so it was down to me and Nico. However, they still felt they needed to make comments.
"We'll discuss it afterwards as we always do as a team and pull back in."

MIAMI (AP) When pitcher Jose Veras (FSY) snared a line drive to keep the Florida Marlins in the lead, he looked to the heavens, raised the ball and then lifted his cap skyward as well.
The Marlins can be thankful the breaks are falling their way lately. They took advantage of some good fortune and ace Josh Johnson's (FSY) latest gem to beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 Thursday afternoon.
BOX SCORE: Marlins 3, Rockies 2
Florida won the game in the ninth inning when pinch hitter Emilio Bonifacio (FSY) tripled and scored on Ronny Paulino's (FSY) walkoff single. But the pivotal moment came in the seventh.
After Johnson departed leading 2-1, the Rockies loaded the bases with two out. Seth Smith (FSY) then hit a liner, and Veras reached up to catch the ball in the web of his glove.
"As soon as I feel it, I said, 'Wow, I've got it. Thank you God for that,'" Veras said. "I just want to get the job done in that situation for JJ."
Johnson watched Veras' pivotal play from the dugout.
"I didn't even see that he caught it," Johnson said. "Then he's holding the ball in his glove and looking at it. I said, 'Attaboy.'"
The Rockies likely used more colorful language.
"The way that Veras finishes on his delivery, he kind of fell a little bit in that direction and actually fell right into the line drive," Colorado manager Jim Tracy said.
Despite a sputtering offense, the Marlins have won five of their past six games, including four victories by one run. Now one game below .500 heading into a weekend series against NL East leader Atlanta, the Marlins consider themselves playoff contenders.
"Absolutely," Johnson said. "We've thought that since day one. There's a little sense of urgency. But when you have a guy like Bonifacio stepping up and being that spark plug that we need, it's huge."
With the score 2-all, Bonifacio hit his first triple of the year to start the ninth against Jhoulys Chacin (FSY) (5-8), who then gave up two intentional walks to load the bases. On the next pitch, Paulino singled through the drawn-in infield.
That triggered one final roar from the "camp day" crowd of 29,102, the Marlins' largest at home since May 1.
"This team is showing some character," said Edwin Rodriguez, who became manager June 23. "I like what I see."
Especially from Johnson, who struck out 11 in 6 1-3 innings and allowed only one run — on a homer by Ian Stewart (FSY) in the second inning. Johnson lowered his ERA to 1.61, best in the majors.
On a sunny, 89-degree day, Johnson threw 120 pitches. He has not allowed more than two runs in his past 13 starts, and has gone at least six innings in 18 consecutive starts.
"The way he pitched, you want to win no matter what," Bonifacio said.
Leo Nunez (FSY) (4-2) struck out the side in the ninth.
The injury-plagued Rockies fell to 2-5 since the All-Star break.
"We've put ourselves in opportunities to win, but we're just not finishing the game," first baseman Jason Giambi (FSY) said.
Along with the near-miss in the seventh, the Rockies squandered a chance to take the lead in the eighth. They tied the game when Jonathan Herrera (FSY) led off with a double against Clay Hensley (FSY) and scored on Giambi's single.
Hensley hit the next batter but kept the score tied with the help of a double-play grounder by Stewart.
"We got snakebit a little bit in the seventh, and we missed a great opportunity in the eighth," Tracy said. "That's simply what the game boils down to."
One bright spot for Colorado was Jorge De La Rosa's (FSY) best start this season. The left-hander, making his third start since returning from a finger injury, allowed only three hits and two runs in six innings.
Stewart hit his 13th homer — only the fifth allowed by Johnson this season — and that was the Rockies' lone hit until the fifth.
Gaby Sanchez (FSY) doubled home a run for Florida in the first, and Cody Ross (FSY) hit his eighth homer in the second.
Notes: Marlins SS Hanley Ramirez (FSY) was held out of the starting lineup for only the fourth time this season. He's 4 for 23 since the All-Star break. Sanchez took his spot in the order, batting third for the first time this season. ... Rockies CF Carlos Gonzalez (FSY) is day to day with a bruised left index finger that forced him out of Wednesday's game. ... OF Dexter Fowler (FSY) (left wrist) is also day to day. ... Also out of the starting lineup was RF Hawpe, who is in a 2-for-17 slump. ... Colorado RHP Aaron Cook (FSY), scheduled to start Friday at Philadelphia, is 1-5 against the Phillies with a 5.70 ERA. ... Florida improved to 9-2 in home day games.

The timeline of the story, starting a few years before the POD in 1171.
Twelfth Century
The Norman Invasion (1169)
Dermot MacMurrough lands in Wexford. His army of Norman, French, and Flemish soldiers quickly regains Leinster. Waterford and Dublin fall under Anglo-Norman control. The Earl of Pembroke, Richard de Clare, marries MacMurrough's daughter and is named the heir to the Kingdom of Leinster. King Henry II of England, fearing a rival Norman state in Ireland, sets out to claim Ireland.
The English King (1171)
King Henry II landed at Waterford in 1171 and became the first English king to set foot on the island. He planned to re establish his authority over the Anglo-Norman territory. Soon after he arrived, however, Strongbow was killed at the Battle of Kildare.
Irish Reclamation (1171-1173)
After Strongbow dies, the power structure of southeastern and afterward northern Norman-controlled Ireland is in shambles. The Kingdom of Leinster is still under Norman control, and Henry II sends an army from England to fortify his position on the Island. Rory O'Connor defeats the Normans in Western areas of the island but doesn't get as far as Dublin.
Henry's Invasion of Ireland (1171-1174)
King Henry's army fortifies the Kingdom of Leinster and Dublin. He fights in northern areas of the island but is met with heavy resistance. The Anglo-Norman-controlled land is divided into the provinces of Leinster, Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin. Waterford becomes a part of the province of Leinster and Dublin is declared a royal city. The Kingdoms of Leinster and Wexford are declared, and the local Anglo-Norman rulers swear loyalty to the English king.
Richard ascends to the Throne (1173-1175)
After a less successful Ireland campaign, Henry II consolidates his kingdom in western France. He divides his land among his children, and they join in revolt against him. The crowned Henry the Young King is killed and Henry II also dies in the conflict. Richard the Lionheart inherits the empire.
Richard's War against Phillip II (1180-1187)
As he didn't need Philip's help in defeating his father, Richard never made an alliance with him. Instead, he sought to increase the Angevin Empire. He quickly moved his forces to rebel regions such as Angoulême and prepared to fight Phillip. By 1180, he stopped paying homage to Phillip. Phillip demanded that Richard pay homage, and Richard promptly declared war. The Angevin-French war ended in 1187 with the start of the Third Crusade. By the end of the war, Richard had not only captured more territory but was no longer the vassal of Phillip. Richard ruled his land on both the island and the continent as one kingdom, the Angevin Empire.
The First Crusade (1187-1194)
Richard declares tentative peace with the Kingdom of France to set out on the Fourth Crusade. He is able to conquer the islands of Greece and Constantinople. Norman forces defeat the Byzantine Emperor Alexios II in 1191 and establish the nominal "Latin Empire," a part of the Angevin Empire under control of the Angevin Emperor.
The Battle of Maqueda (1196)
A battle between an alliance of Almohads and King Alfonso VIII of Castile results in a decisive Almohad victory. The Almohad caliph then easily captures Toledo. The Kingdom of Castile is considerably weakened.
Thirteenth Century
Castile Falls (1201-1205)
Toledo is captured, and the Almohads move north. With Castile in disarray, the Almohads swiftly conquer much of the south of the kingdom. In 1205, Burgos is captured. Alfonso VII flees to Leon.
Kingdom of Thessalonica (1210)
A rebellion in Thessalonica deposes the Piedmontese ruler.
Leon Falls (1214)
After they conquer Castile, the Almohads are attacked by Leon, Aragon, Navarre, and Portugal. They fare far better on the Leonese front, and are able to capture much of the kingdom. Aragon, however, proves to be more difficult to defeat. The Almohads had not fortified eastern Castile yet, and face several defeats against Aragon. A treaty in November 1214 ends the war. Al-Andalus is established as the most powerful kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula.
Byzantine Treaty (1215)
Angevin Emperor Richard II signs a treaty with the Byzantine successor states of Nicaea and Thessalonica. His son Henry III is married to Euphrosyne, daughter of the Nicaean emperor Theodoros I.
Irish Uprising (1230-1237)
The rebellion in the Irish territories of the Angevin empire intensifies. The people of the two vassal kingdoms, Leinster and Wexford, now have an Anglo-Irish identity and depose English-appointed governors. The kings of Leinster and Wexford flee to England. King Richard II sends a large army to Ireland, quickly quelling the rebellion. He begins to conquer land previously lost after the first Norman invasion. The uprising ends in 1237 with most of the territory under Angevin control. The Kingdom of Uí Néill is established in the northeast.
War with France (1245-1270)
Louis IX of France claims territory east of Normandy. In France, the continental territory of the Angevin Empire is largely considered French territory. He demands that Richard II either returns it or pays homage to him as the king of the continental Kingdom of France. Henry III then claims the throne of France, and Louis IX declares war. The Angevin conquest of France begins. The overwhelmingly more powerful Angevin army has trouble in more heavily-fortified areas of France. This long war ends in 1270 with the Treaty of Chinon, where Angevin Emperor Henry III is declared King of France.
Icelandic Expedition (1275-1277)
Icelandic explorer Sigur Ísleifsson finds Leif Ericsson's "Vinland" while exploring land west of Greenland. News is brought back to Iceland, and then to the rest of Europe. Angevin Emperor Richard III becomes interested in the find, and summons Ísleifsson to his court. He funds a second voyage, and sends some of his English knights along with Ísleifsson.
Treaty of Chinon (1278)
In early 1278, disputes between several French and German dukes result in battles. Soon the conflict escalates and a war between the two European empires seems inevitable. In June 1278, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III sends envoys to Chinon. He manages to negotiate a peace treaty.
Vinlandic Colony (1279)
News of the "New World" discovered West of Iceland starts attracting explorers and immigrants.
Romano-Angevin War (1281-1290)
The ambitious Richard III sees an opportunity to expand the empire. The Angevin Empire is by far the most powerful state in Europe, and though it is territorially comparable to the Holy Roman Empire it has many more resources. Richard amasses an army in eastern France in April 1281. By May, the Romano-Angevin War begins. The HRE is caught off at first, and the Angevins are able to capture important castles and towns. The Angevins push past the Rhine and advance on Nuremberg. The tide of the battle shifts in 1282, and the HRE mounts a fierce resistance. The Angevins are held back for some time, and their advancement in more eastern territories. They are able to capture key cities in the Italian peninsula by 1285, however. The war ends with the Battle of Prague in 1290 when Emperor Frederick III is killed, some Angevin historians say by Richard himself. Richard is crowned Holy Roman Emperor in November 1290.
Fourteenth Century
See Maps of Europe
The Steam Engine (1301)
An Andalusian scientist, Yusuf al-Muzaffar, invents an early form of the steam engine.
Vinland (1304)
The Vinlandic colony becomes a province of the Angevin Empire.
The Iberian War (1307-1312)
Al-Andalus sets out to conquer the rest of the Iberian Peninsula. Leon is conquered within the first year of the campaign. For the first time, the Iberian Catholic kingdoms call out to the Angevin Empire for help. Angevin Emperor Richard III has ambitions to conquer the Iberian peninsula and agrees to send help. The Angevins gain control of Navarre and Aragon as Portugal falls. They begin to push into Andalusian territory, but by 1308 the Andalusians push back into Aragon. They use unexpected experimental war machines, some of which can be described as "tanks." Many of these machines are powered by the steam engine invented by al-Mazaffar. The numerically superior but vastly technologically inferior Angevin army is overwhelmed. They are pushed back into southern France. The seemingly unstoppable Andalusian army marches toward Chinon. The Emperor is evacuated to London. Chinon is captured in 1310. The Angevin Empire is a weakened state, and rebellions across the Empire begin. By early 1311, however, an Angevin army mainly from Italy lands in Almería. The city is captured, and as much of the Andalusian army is in the north, they are able to quickly overtake cities on their way to Córdoba. Several months later another Angevin army lands in southern Al-Andalus. Córdoba is captured in late 1311 and talks of a peace treaty begin.
Treaty of Bordeaux (1312)
The Treaty of Bordeaux is signed in 1312. The Angevin Emperor and the Andalusian Caliph agree to retreat from each others' capital cities. The Angevin army is to leave Andalusia and the Andalusian army is to leave southern France. However, Al-Andalus keeps the territory gained during the war, except for Aragon which becomes an Angevin province.
Vinlandic Exploration (1315)
Vinlandic explorers discover most of OTL eastern Canada. Several new colonies are set up.
Manned Flight (1317)
Andalusian inventor al-Muzaffar performs the first successful manned flight in a glider-like machine. The test is performed just outside Istanbul.

text: An external force coming in and dictating the terms of engagement to Apple management -- that's what matters. If you don't consider this groundbreaking and monumental, particularly within the context of what Apple is going through, you're deluding yourself as a shareholder or not studying the situation close enough as an observer. No doubt, I boil this down to the philosophical argument: Is there a meaningful connection between the seemingly unconnected (Einhorn pushing Cook around in a way he never would have and/or could have Jobs) and Apple's success? I think there is and, while Jobs is the face of this unorthodox, sometimes antisocial and quintessential Apple attitude, it was -- or at least it should be -- bigger than him. Jobs created a complex culture comprised of many actors; it was never a one-man show. Evolution is necessary, welcome and expected; misunderstanding how this culture permeated and impacted Apple's entire being is not. Maybe I am being melodramatic, but when Steve Jobs told Tim Cook, Don't ask what I would do, just do what's right, he didn't mean sell out the fiber of what made the company he built great.

We take care of the tech you rely on everyday.
Geek SquadHome Membership
One membership to set up and support every device in your home- from Best Buy or not.
An educational program under Best Buy Canada's community investment pillar, we partner with various non-profit organizations to help bring opportunities to students aged ten to sixteen.
Today, 70% of Canada's top jobs require technology skills and in the next decade, that number is expected only to increase.
Through Geek Squad Academy, we're showing youth the wide variety of roles technology might play in their future career opportunities in a fun, interactive setting. This isn't your average camp! When attending Geek Squad Academy, students become "Junior Agents" and get hands-on experience with some of the newest and coolest technology.
Geek Squad Academy is an educational program under Best Buy Canada's community investment pillar. We partner with local non-profit organizations and schools to teach students about the latest technology in a fun, interactive environment. Our camps are customized for students aged 10 to 16 (14 to 16 in Quebec).
We offer two separate course curriculums; one suited for elementary school-aged students (ages 10-12), and one for students aged 13 to 16. Classes are conducted by Geek Squad Agents from local Best Buy stores on topics such as Robotics, Digital Citizenship, 3D Design, Digital Music, and Web Programming. Our goal is to help youth get excited by the opportunities technology can provide, while building friendships and self-confidence.
Interested non-profit organizations and schools across the country must submit a proposal application. Best Buy will review each proposal and award camps based on location, space and timing. Along with providing facilities for the camp, the host organization is responsible for the recruitment and registration of 80-120 students and must be able to provide one staff member to be present in each class to assist with student supervision.
Since our classes are taught by Geek Squad Agents and Blue Shirts from local Best Buy stores, eligible facilities must be within a 50 km radius of a Best Buy store.
More than ten years ago, several enterprising Geek Squad Agents in the United States piloted programs in the Midwest to teach high school students how to build their own computers using parts donated by Best Buy and its customers. A female Double Agent took a look at the landscape of her local technical education market and noticed something – none of these programs were designed for young women. She decided to change this, and in Chicago in the summer of 2007, weekend PC builds were replaced with a week-long technology camp for girls, and the first Geek Squad Academy was born.
Since the first camp, Geek Squad Academy has expanded to more and more markets, and now camps in the United States include both young men and women ranging in age from ten to eighteen. Partnering with various non-profit organizations, Best Buy has already brought camps to over 70 cities across the US and impacted thousands of Junior Agents.
In 2015, Best Buy Canada brought Geek Squad Academy up north. So far, we have held camps in the Greater Vancouver area, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and the Greater Toronto area, and we look forward to continuing to grow this program here in Canada.
Non-profits or schools interested in hosting a Geek Squad Academy camp must submit a proposal application. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to find out when the next application period will be open.
It is crucial that you have all of your facility's information prior to starting the proposal process. Some of the categories that will be addressed during the proposal process include:
Traditionally, camps run for 1 full day (6 hours). There may be a possibility to offer a modified version of Geek Squad Academy (as an after-school or half-day event, for example). Just tell us what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to try and fit the program to your needs.
Please keep in mind that to host a full camp, we will need access to your facility and have exclusive use of all the rooms one day prior to the camp for equipment set-up and instructor training. If you are a school looking to host the camp during school hours, we recommend that camp starts on a Monday so set-up day can be on a Sunday to minimize the disruption.
Geek Squad Academy's mission in Canada is to connect youth with technology to inspire, motivate and empower their education and highlight the role technology could play in their future. Geek Squad Academy partners with organizations throughout the country who share our mission of opening doors because we believe that together, we can make a positive impact on today's youth.
Geek Squad Academy is customized for students between the ages of 10 – 16. We offer two separate course curriculums; one suited for elementary school-aged students (ages 10-12), and one for students aged 13 to 16. Currently camps are only open to the students or attendees of the school or non-profit organization that is hosting the camp. There may be opportunities in the future for youth to register to participate in Geek Squad Academy through public workshops. Watch this website for updates.
Geek Squad Academy does not have programs for adults at this time.
Here are a few of the subjects that may be offered at a Geek Squad Academy camp:
Students learn about making music using GarageBand, editing multi-track songs, and collaborating with others to create and mix music.
Students learn robotics and programming skills utilizing the Lego Mindstorm Ev3 curriculum. Students build their robot and write programming to manipulate their robot through a maze.
Students learn the importance of responsible internet use, including protecting personal information, avoiding suspicious content, and how to handle online bullying.
Students learn skills in CAD design and engineering, create a three-dimensional object, and may see a 3D printer in action.
Students learn how HTML and CSS coding works through interactive games and activities.
Most Geek Squad Academy camps are offered to participants free of charge. However, in a few cases, hosting non-profit partners may charge a nominal fee for participation if needed to offset administrative costs.
Geek Squad Academy runs camps from April to January, with the exception of December. We are also able to schedule camps during school breaks such as summer and Professional Development days (PA days).
Please submit your questions by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our Agents are anxious to get out in the field to work with you and your students. We have planned some amazing classes that will give teens a wide range of opportunities to engage in technology and develop 21st century skills.
In addition to the traditional 1 day camps, events can be shortened to 1-2 hour workshops, after-school, or half-day events if requested. Just tell us what you're looking for and we'll do our best to try and fit the program to your needs.
Please note that all applicants selected for Geek Squad Academy will be asked to sign our standard Geek Squad Academy Agreement prior to commencement of the program. This Agreement contains certain responsibilities regarding access to and use of your facilities, and security of the equipment and confidential information used for Geek Squad Academy. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to review a copy of this Agreement before applying.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to find out when the next application period will be open.

Moscow reiterates its missile defence posture
Moscow has warned that the implementation of the European missile defence project could become a throwback to the Cold War era.
Helsinki (Finland): Moscow has warned that the implementation of the European missile defence project could become a throwback to the Cold War era.
The US says the shield is designed to protect against "rogue states" such as Iran and North Korea.
"Any unilateral and unlimited buildup of the missile capability by one state or a group of states would lead to the preservation of Cold War hangovers, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
It would be "damaging strategic stability in violation of all the OSCE members` obligations not to strengthen their security at the expense of others," he added.
The project is a test of Western sincerity about its commitment to equal security in Europe, he said, reiterating Russia`s demand for "legally binding guarantees" that the system will not be used against it.
These guarantees should be verifiable, he stressed.
Negotiations between Russia and NATO member states on the US-led missile defence project have deadlocked over the West`s reluctance to give Moscow such guarantees.
The US scrapped plans in September 2010 for an anti-ballistic-missile defence system in the Czech Republic and Poland.
Moscow welcomed the move, and then-President Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia would drop plans to deploy Iskander-M tactical missiles in its Kaliningrad Region, which borders NATO members, Poland and Lithuania.
Last year, however, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Washington`s plans to deploy a missile interceptor site in Poland by 2018.

So mad, Our patio furniture is on our side in front of our bedroom windows, I was about to put Selena down for a nap and our neighbor sits in Our chair and smokes a cigarette! I went out and said if you want to use the chair I don't mind but please move it over to your side because i'm putting Selena down for her nap. I'm trying to be nice but i'm about to loose my mind living here! Grrrr!
I don't know how to say don't smoke in front of my bedroom windows without being totally rude ya know, any advice?
i say" sorry, could you please smoke in front of your windows, not mine. I can't stand smoking. I usually am a very direct person about such things.
I would be totally direct about it. I would also tell them not to use my chairs. Just let them nicely know that they are not allowed to smoke around where you live.
The lady took my chair and smoked on their side. I'm not good at being direct because I sound like an arse doing so, I think i'm gonna need a push, ugh!! help!
You could always put a note on the furniture that says "please do not use and please do not smoke near my home" that way you are not actually confronting anyone.
i like this idea...and why does she have to use your chair? hmm
Her chair was wet she'd said. I was trying to be nice but I guess i'm a pushover. I like our neighbors a little bit but I want them to know there's boundaries too.
Well I sold the patio furniture, now they can't sit on our side anymore and I used some of the money for gas in my car the rest I set aside for when I need it.

The Town Mill's evolving sustainable technology
It's a vocabulary highly evocative of a bygone age. And yet at The Town Mill the past is brought alive. You'll feel you're stepping back in time when you visit The Town Mill, but because it's a working watermill, its history and mechanisms come alive in front of your very eyes.
Evolving technology
Although there has been a mill on the site since at least 1340, the technology driving the waterwheel has changed over the years. The late medieval waterwheels of 1340 remained in place until at least 1640. Modifications came slowly at first, but then the burgeoning Industrial Revolution quickly spurred improvements.
In March 2007 a new micro hydro-electric system was opened at The Town Mill. The fully automatic system is designed to run 24 hours a day and produce 32,000 kilowatt hours of electricity and save 13 tonnes of Co2 annually.
You can see the past, and a more environmentally sustainable future co-existing here at The Town Mill.

"The tribunal has taken the decision with a clear conscience and under no pressure from either the board or anyone else," tribunal head Justice Aftab Farrukh told in a news conference. He also told that the three-member tribunal felt the original punishment was too harsh.
"We also took into consideration the past record of Shoaib and that he had publicly apologised for his behaviour and past deeds," Farrukh said.
"He has promised to reform himself and we have also recommended to the board that he should be given proper counselling."
Akhtar, who has played 46 Tests and 138 one-day internationals since 1997, was banned in April following a series of disciplinary violations, including his public criticism of the PCB in January after he did not make a short-list of 15 players who were offered a central contract.
Akhtar was already on two years' probation for hitting teammate Mohammad Asif with a bat days before the Twenty20 World Championship in South Africa last September.
His lawyer Abid Hasan Minto said the player had the right to pursue an appeal against the 18-month ban.
"But we will take a decision after going through the long and detailed order of the tribunal," Minto said.

Bill to Repeal Swipe Fee Reform Would Cost Shoppers 'Billions': NRF
Retailers already planning how to pass savings on to consumers
Legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to repeal debit card swipe fee reforms would cost consumers more than $6 billion a year in savings that retailers would pass along to customers, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF). The swipe fee reforms took effect Oct. 1
"This misguided legislation would take billions of dollars in savings away from American consumers," noted Mallory Duncan, SVP and general counsel at Washington-based NRF. "The banks tried to stop this law from being passed, they tried to delay it once it was passed, and they managed to water down the amount merchants and consumers will save. Now that it's just barely taken effect, they are trying to repeal it before anyone can benefit. Congress needs to stop doing the bidding of the banks and think about the people who paid for the bank bailout not so long ago -- consumers and Main Street merchants."
Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Bill Owens (D-N.Y.) are behind the repeal legislation. The regulations, set by the Federal Reserve under last year's Wall Street reform law, capped debit card swipe fees charged by big banks at about 21 cents, down from an average 44 cents.
Although retailers won't know exactly how much they're saving until they receive their bank statements over the next few weeks, they're already planning a number of ways to use the money to increase value for customers, including overall lower prices, specific discounts for using debit cards or hiring more staff to improve customer service, the trade organization said.

Hi, Christi!
It generally takes 6-8 weeks for your body to fully adapt to the medication, but many people will start to feel the effects much sooner. When I started my lithium I had severe mood swings and violent anger and aggressiveness. That started disappearing after only about two weeks and I've had no *side* effects at all. Remember, though, you'll need to have blood tests to check your levels every few months at first and you need to be sure you keep yourself well hydrated ! especially in the summer heat.
I can't help with Latuda as this was a medication that did nothing for me, but many people report excellent results. I'm sure some of the other folks here will chime in shortly.
Best wishes and always feel free to post here with any questions or concerns! WCV
Thank you!! The info is much appreciated- i habe the temper and need a "john cena"-" attitude adjustment- its been like 24 hours and i feel somewhat calmer... Maybe im just tricking myself...
I know what you mean! Some people get high and peachy and rosy as if there isn't a problem in the world. I would get so nasty and hostile I came close to decking my poor grandma once. But the lithium has that under control as well as my mood swings although now I have more of a tendency to depression. I'm trying Abilify for that and so far so good.
Good luck, Christi!

Mugshots Friday: Polar Man, Infinite Wisdom, and a Good, Reliable Goon
Every Friday, Riptide brings you the most eye-catching mugshots taken the previous week (or thereabouts) in Miami-Dade County. Yes, there is some mockery of bad neck tattoos, but also adulation directed at perps who just plain look more badass than we ever will. This is the italicized intro to that series.
Arrested: 1/24
Charged with: Cocaine possession
We don't know whether to throw a skeeball at his face or save the ice caps from melting so he doesn't drown.

Arrested: 1/20
Charged with: Attempted strongarmed robbery and assault
This guy just looks like a ton of fun. He looks like he's from Minnesota and he invents amazing sports when he's drunk and bored, and he had a great ska record collection in junior high.
Arrested: 1/22
Charged with: Battery
We were doubting the veracity of the "infinite wisdom" tattoo (because of the whole arrested for battery thing) but that all-knowing squint confirms that this is indeed Miami-Dade County's version of the monk that you climb the Tibetan mountain to ask advice of. Only thing is, about 46-percent of the time, he's going to punch you in the face.
Arrested: 1/24
Charged with: Assault, obstruction, disorderly conduct
"Hey uh, this photo aint going to be on some alt-weekly's blog where some dipshit writer's gonna wonder whether this thing on the back of my head is ironic or not, right? 'Cause if that happens, I'm gonna have to find that writer and sit on his face while punching his nads."
Arrested: 1/23
Charged with: Resisting officer without violence
Hey, don't let us keep you with this whole "arrested" thing if you got some place cooler to be, like in the background of a photo in Nas' liner notes or something.
Arrested: 1/22
Charged with: Burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, possession of burglary tools, aggravated assault, criminial mischief, loitering or prowling
Whatever happened to the good, reliable goon? You know, the former boxer who you could pay some pittance-- or if you're a really busy crime boss, keep on retainer for something like $85 a day plus any extra fur coats-- to bust a dude's head behind the bowling alley? The moment this guy shows up at your door, you're pawning your wedding ring to pay up, and it only takes like two seconds of the third-of-the-way-through-the-movie doo-wop montage.
Arrested: 1/26
Charged with: Fleeing police officer, obstruction by disguised person, felony battery, strongarm robbery
And seconds after this photo was taken, this badass lady had choked a jail guard with his keyring, stolen one of those cop-in-a-box scooters, and assumed a whole new identity. Okay, we have to stop watching movies on cable.
Arrested: 1/22
Charged with: Domestic battery by strangulation, aggravated assault
That's the kind of smile that's called "cheesing", right? Look at it a bit too long and it starts to get really unnerving.
Arrested: 1/19
Charged with: Possession of a controlled substance
Is there a Hot in Cleveland castmember crime wave going on? Are we in danger of being shanked by Betty White?

San Diego CA (SPX) Sep 10, 2013
The latest technology in solar thermal hot water flat plates is officially on the market. The Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) has awarded SunMaxx Solar's TitanPower ALDH29 the OG-100 Certification.
According to the SRCC, "the OG-100 collector certification program applies to that part of a solar energy system that is exposed to the sun and collects the sun's heat."
The independent third-party non-profit conducted numerous durability tests for the certification. During these tests, they measured the collector's energy output performance.
In Climate Category C (36 F), the TitanPower ALDH29's output reaches an unbelievable 31.2 kBtu rating. The Y Intercept rating is 0.739 with a slope of -0.702 Btu/hr.ft2. F.
SunMaxx Solar designed these flat plates to connect to one another with connector brackets instead of the traditional mounting rail. As a result, the installation cost and time is dramatically reducing.
Atheistically, the plates give the "skylight" look more than any other solar panel on the market.

The Red Crane Dojo taught the Bayushi Saboteur and Bayushi Bushi schools. It was located just north of Cherry Blossom Lake in the Shinomen Forest. [1]
History Edit
Founding Edit
Once a minor school within the much larger Bayushi Bushi Academy, the Dojo of the Red Crane earned its name in the 10th century when one of the sensei remarked that their students "do to warfare as the Crane have done to the iaijutsu duel, force the enemy into an unfair fight." When the school was large enough that it needed its own separate dojo, the master sensei christened the dojo with this remark. [1]
Naga Race Awakens Edit
The secluded location within a haunted forest left the dojo far from casual observers, also giving the perfect training ground for the students. When the Naga awakened, spells of confusion and misdirection kept them away. [1]
Scorpion Exile Edit
The dojo remained active during the exile of the Scorpion Clan in the Burning Sands, being the saboteurs very active. Since that time, attendance at the school nearly doubled. [1]
Tradition Edit
Most Red Crane students attended Bayushi Bushi schools or the Shosuro Ninja dojo for reasons of practicality. It helped the student to understand the capabilities of his cousins, and plan accordingly. No student of the dojo would claim exactly where they had studied or under whom. [1]
Training Edit
The first year was harsh for the students, and they were called uki. Hard exercises while the group was sabotaged in the most inventive ways imaginable made it a private hell for them. The second year the true training as saboteurs began, included explosives. The gempukku involved only conception and planning, and the final test was to steal a detailed layout of a castle's structure and battle defenses, or create one from a first-hand tour of the building. [2]
Benefits Edit
The Bayushi saboteurs were masters of discerning weaknesses and turning them into the Scorpion's gain, and fond of causing enemies to repeat their mistakes. [3]
Sensei Edit
The sensei was always an accomplished soldier and graduate of the school, promoted from within the school by a meeting among all the sensei of the dojo. The master sensei had always been chosen by a unanimous decision that the council of sensei reached within a day. [3]

Home Birth Vs. Hospital Birth
Personally, I don't have super strong opinions toward either option. I gave birth in a hospital and had a very good experience. Well, as good as any experience can be when you're in intense pain for 21 hours while pushing something the size of a watermelon out of you...
Hospital Birth Pros:
My nurses were great and stayed with me for their entire shift. We were there for so long that we switched nurses once, but our first nurse came back just to see me the next day while we were recovering. I felt really well cared for. I also felt safe knowing that there were lots of different medical professionals there if I needed second opinions or specialized care. We had a great delivery room with private bathroom and lots of space. They respected all of my wishes for skin to skin contact, delayed cord cutting, no pacifiers, and breastfeeding without question.
Hospital Birth Cons:
You are on a bit of an assembly line. My nurses were very attentive but I knew that they had other patients at the same time. It was also a foreign environment where I didn't have as much control as I would've at home. For example, nurses kept coming in to check on me or Avery throughout the night which interrupted sleep even more. If I was home things probably would've been done on my schedule. I also had to follow their guidlines for food. At home I could have just done what felt right.
Home Birth Pros:
Since I've never delivered at home I can only guess at the pros and cons, but here's what I think. It would've been nice to have a midwife that knew me and my husband intimately. I probably would be more comfortable talking about what I needed/wanted during labor because I'd know them better. It also would've been nice to recover at home instead of spending a few days in the hospital away from home.
Home Birth Cons:
Personally, I liked leaving the house to deliver. It made me feel like I was doing something productive instead of just waiting in pain on my couch. Maybe that's weird, but it just felt like things were officially happening. Plus I didn't have to worry about getting my house ready for birth and then cleaning it up after, LOL. I also would be worried about medical complications given my history of miscarriages.
What did you like/dislike about where you delivered your baby?
I have moved to a different state since then, and homebirth isn't an option here. I will have to deliver in a hospital this time, and I'm actually a little scared of it.

Three robbers (Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto) target a house in a derelict area of Detroit, believing a blind combat veteran (Stephen Lang) has a large cash sum to hand. Once inside, they discover the home-owner has other secrets and is dangerously resourceful.
Lately, a cycle of home invasion movies have vulnerable protagonists – the deaf heroine of Hush, the agoraphobic of Shut In (aka Intruders) – turning the tables on murderous, larcenous thugs. Don't Breathe takes a slightly different tack on this premise, focusing on three varied crooks – an unstable bad boy (Daniel Zovatto), a girl who needs cash to escape a horrible home life (Jane Levy) and a basically decent guy with a crush (Dylan Minnette) – who make the mistake of picking on a grizzled, wiry-tough blind ex-soldier (Stephen Lang). Wes Craven's The People Under The Stairs and the French Livide have played this reverse-the-threat game – though another contemporary run of movies have regular criminals clashing with outright maniacs (No One Lives, The Neighbour, The Collector).
Having dashed off the competent, not-exactly-memorable Evil Dead remake, Uruguayan director-writer Fede Alvarez doesn't exactly go all-out to break new ground with this 'original' – but does demonstrate a profound understanding of how this sort of suspense picture works. Revelations come along every ten minutes – each making the trap default heroine Rocky (Levy) has willingly stepped into more perilous and extreme. There's already tension in the uneasy alliance of the criminal trio, and the stakes rise once they're inside the large, sinister house – which has more locks than expected and an owner attuned to every creak of a floorboard or shard of broken glass.
Alvarez makes a point of prolonging the agony. Every time one or other of the robbers has a chance to get away clean, something pulls them back. The last act subjects the final girl to a ferocious, slobbering guard dog, a padded basement dungeon (with suspension harness) and a shocking home medical procedure. Lang, an underrated character heavy best known for Avatar, is a powerful, menacing presence but manages moments of pathos too.
An intense, streamlined exercise in gruesome thrills, with a tiny glimmer of social context (it's all about the economy) which doesn't take away from the exciting struggle to get out of this house of horrors.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 12:47am
A member of the 2009 MIAA Championship squad, Conor McGee knew that he always wanted to play for a school like Virginia, but took his career a different direction after being recruited by Michigan coach John Paul and seeing a certain campus set in a town called Ann Arbor. Conor spent his first season of collegiate lacrosse as one of the University of Michigan's goaltenders during the 2010 season contributing to an MCLA National Championship for the Wolverines.
During the spring of 2010 Conor learned about a possible alternative to make the jump to the NCAA Division I ranks at a school he had always dreamed of going to, Virginia. There was no way he could pass up the opportunity, so following the 2010 season he enrolled at the University of Virginia and was told that he would have a spot on the Cavaliers squad amongst the goaltending ranks.
With the recent announcement of Michigan making the jump to the Division I level and all the success that a program like Virginia has had I sat down and talked with Conor about the noticeable differences between the two programs. Conor is one of the handful of players ever to make the jump from a top-tier MCLA program to a top tier NCAA program. Below, take a listen to the compare his experiences with both teams.

Beef Teriyaki Stir Fry
Recipe by KittyKitty
This is so good, because the meat gets so tender and flavorful after being marinated. It's a great one dish meal, and if you don't have a wok, a skillet will do just fine.
Top Review by Marie Nixon
This was very good and actually tasted better the 2nd day. I used recipe 133751, "Restaurant Teriyaki Sauce" for the teriyaki sauce in this recipe. I also used a bag of fresh stir fry vegetables from the produce department so I had brocolli and snow peas in addition to the carrots and onion in this recipe. You get alot of meat out of 1 1/2 pounds of sirloin that is thinly sliced on the diagonal. The only thing I would add to this recipe is to provide extra teriyaki sauce on the side for those who would like it. Thanks for submitting this recipe, AshleyAnne.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless sirloin steaks
- 1⁄4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

- 1 1⁄2 cups diagonally sliced carrots
- 1 1⁄2 cups diagonally sliced celery
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup hot cooked rice

- Pour 1 tablespoon oil around top of a preheated wok, coating sides, heat medium high for 2 minutes. Add vegetables and stir fry 4 minutes; remove from wok.

Michael F. O'Brien I enjoyed your book very much. It is well done amd the photographs excellent. My wife and I spent thirty-four years in Asia, but sadly we did not get to Bhutan. One of my brothers did get there this past year. My son and I did male it to Tibet in '94 fulfilling the childhood dream of this Iowa farm boy. I am now working on a blurb.com book on Tibet. I have some twenty others here on blurb.com! Check them out if you like.
