Named after a dildo in William Burroughs cult drug tome The Naked Lunch, the Dan was built around the songwriting team of founder members bass player Walter Becker and pianist Donald Fagen. Between 1972 and their initial break up in 1980, the band released seven supremely sophisticated albums including Countdown To Ecstasy, Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied and The Royal Scam on the now Universal-owned ABC label.
And thanks to a clutch of superbly crafted songs like Do It Again, My Old School, Ricky Don’t Lose That Number, Steely Dan became a name for every critic to drop – and every new band to aspire to – in the years immediately preceding Punk.
But for all the jazzy chords, the clever wordplay and some vocal harmonies to-CSN&Y-for, Steely Dan were also very much a guitar band. Their founder members Denny Dias and Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter could trade licks, swap styles and rock out with the best. And yet they frequently took back seats in the studio in favour of star six string sessioneers such as Larry Carlton, Rick Derringer and Elliott Randall, who was responsible for the barnstorming solo from Reelin’ In The Years – the second single from the band’s 1972 debut LP Can’t Buy A Thrill – which BT Unlimited Calls has licensed for the latest instalment in its series of cute cartoon commercials.
Randall – whose studio CV includes cuts with The Doobie Brothers and Peter Frampton – now divides his time between New York and London where he made a rare appearance with a reformed Steely Dan at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2009, bringing the house down with a note for note rendition of what is probably his signature solo.
Now while we’re talking of great guitarists who have never really received all the credit they deserve, we should thank Halfords for choosing Into The Valley, the 1979 number 10 hit on Virgin by top Scots New Wavers Skids, which powers up its latest Summer TV campaign. Skids were fronted by one Richard Jobson, who sang in an accent quite impenetrable to anybody born south of Dunfermline while dancing to a rhythm even fellow Scots found hard to understand. But it was the late great Stuart Adamson who was at the core of the band which kicked Jobson up the backside every night. Adamson steered Skids through three chart albums and 11 hit singles including Masquerade and Working For The Yankee Dollar. All were subsequently cited as huge influences by US new punk outfits like Green Day who covered Skids’ The Saints Are Coming as a charity single in 2006.Adamson suffered a nervous breakdown in 1981, which effectively spelt the end of Skids. But inside a couple of years he’d bounced back with a new outfit called Big Country. Partnered by another hugely underrated plank spanker and fellow Scot Bruce Watson, Adamson forged a rousingly recognisable Celtic guitar sound which catapulted the band high into the charts on both sides of the Atlantic with Mercury albums like The Crossing, Steeltown and The Seer.
He eventually moved to Nashville in the 1990s before tragically committing suicide in 2001 after a long fight with alcoholism. At his funeral The Edge is reported to have said that Stuart Adamson penned the kind of songs he wished U2 could have written. Compare bits of Boy with Skids LPs like Scared To Dance or Days In Europa and you’ll see what he meant.
It wasn’t the bottle which was Henry Roeland Byrd’s weakness, although there can be no doubt he liked a drink as much as the next man. No, it was the liar dice and the gee gees which very nearly blighted the life of the New Orleans’ pianist better known to music fans as Professor Longhair.
Born in 1918, Fess, as he was otherwise known, began his musical career playing in a bar off Bourbon Street on a piano with missing keys. But he still managed to develop a distinctive mambo-based blues shuffle which was to become synonymous with the Crescent City. Fess truly hit his stride in the 1950s when he recorded seminal R’n’B tracks like Mardi Gras In New Orleans, Bald Head and Tipitania for a variety of labels such as Mercury, Federal and Atlantic. Although he never crossed over to wider and whiter audiences like fellow French Quarter contemporaries Fats Domino, Clarence ‘Frogman’ Henry or the younger Mac ‘Dr John’ Rebennack, Professor Longhair influenced them all. So it’s the distinctive whistling figure on his 1964 recording of Earl King’s Big Chief which aficionados of Second Line rhythms will recognise from the Kinder ad promoting chocolate which is somehow ‘approved by mums’.
Like many of his generation, Professor Longhair’s fortunes took a dip in the 1960s when he had to take work as a janitor to keep the bookies off his back. But appearances at the Newport and Montreux Jazz Festivals in 1973 not only helped clear his gambling debts but led to an invitation to play for a party on board the Queen Mary hosted by Paul and Linda McCartney. A new record deal with Atlantic and appearances in a number of PBS TV documentaries soon conferred him with a richly deserved national status he had never previously attained.
Indeed after his death from a heart attack in 1980 Professor Longhair was awarded a posthumous Grammy and was later inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall Of Fame. Most recently, Hugh Laurie included Tipitania on his hit New Orleans tribute album Let Them Talk, which arguably introduced the name of Professor Longhair to a whole new audience.
It remains to be seen whether Hanni El Khatib lives to scale such heights of stardom. This San Fransisco-born son of Palestnian and Filipino immigrants describes his music as sounding like being ‘shot by gun or hit by a train’. Which could well be right if his version of The Cramps 1978 A side Human Fly is anything to go by. This is the raw, raucous and distinctly modern garage track Nissan is currently using to promote its Qashqai model . More influenced by Jack Black than Lux Interior perhaps but it’s still a great taster for Hanni El Khatib’s retrotastic debut album Will The Guns Come Out which was released over here on the Innovative Leisure label in September last year.

For Mexican night with your family, Ventura’s has you covered– family-friendly atmosphere, welcoming staff, famous margaritas and authentic Mexican cuisine.
Beginning as a roadhouse in 1919, the building has gone through many changes and renovations over the years. The restaurant’s original owners, Alfred and Adela Mundt, introduced Ventura’s in 1984 to honor Adela’s Hispanic culture. Alfred passed in 2019, but his daughter, Valerie Scott, along with co-owner Todd Pierson, continue the tradition. “We worked very hard to make Ventura’s what it is today and we all feel very proud of our accomplishments,” explained Valerie.
A Seat at the Table
Within minutes of being seated in a cozy booth, we were greeted with a mask-covered smile. Desiring to experience true Ventura’s culture, we ordered margaritas. On-the-rocks or frozen? Salt or sugar rim? Which flavor? We were pleasantly surprised with the variations and finally settled on blueberry ($3.85) and classics ($3.35).
Eager to learn Ventura’s formula, we asked Valerie what went into the recipe, which she wouldn’t divulge. She did offer a bit of inside knowledge: “The margaritas are made fresh each morning with three different types of tequila, and are made with love.” A well-balanced concoction of sweetness and alcohol, neither element was overpowering.
Immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of our fellow patrons, we felt at home in a welcoming dining room.
We decided on the Super Nachos (6 for $6.99, 12 for $10.99) as an appetizer. “Super” was an understatement. Shortly, we were met with an enormous plate of house-fried chips, smothered in warm, melted cheese and topped with juicy chicken, beef and refried beans. Sides of fresh guacamole and sour cream complemented the already-loaded chips. The guacamole was neither too salty nor too creamy and included a few diced tomatoes in each bite.
Our server Kay made sure that we were comfortable and a smile was still on our faces. Ventura’s Deluxe Burrito ($8.19) is described as “Beans rolled in a flour tortilla and topped with melted cheese, onions, and choice of beef chunks, chicken or ground beef.” It’s clear that Ventura’s is serious about their cheese.
Other popular items would include enchiladas, tostadas and other specialties and combination plates.
Last, But Certainly Not Least…
We finished with arguably the most important part of the meal, dessert. From four decadent options we chose Super Fried Ice Cream ($6.99). Surrounded by deep fried cinnamon chips and drizzled with warm chocolate sauce, the crispy outside shell of the vanilla ice cream enhanced each bite.
Like all other restaurants during the pandemic, you will see a few changes in the dining area. Masks must be worn at all times (except when eating at the table) and dividers separate booths, tables and bar seating. But that won’t deter you from enjoying authentic Mexican cuisine from a Toledo staple that’s been doing it for over 35 years.
Call ahead seating is available during the pandemic and the hours are as follow:
Tuesday-Thursday: 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Friday-Saturday: 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Closed Sunday & Monday
7742 W Bancroft St

Golf is fucking boring. I'm not going to lie. And I really like golf. Well...I usually don't watch until Sunday with three holes left but, I love golf, and a lot of other people love golf too. However there's a reason a majority of Americans don’t like watching golf. It fucking sucks to watch. There's only so much standing around, and watching a tiny white ball go up in the air that the public can take. WE CAN’T EVEN SEE THE DAMN BALL!!! Could you imagine not being able to see the football while watching a football game? You would throw a gnome at your television. I know you would.
So I'm here today to offer some solutions on how to make golf less boring.
To start things off, we need some music on the golf course. Part of the reason golf is so boring is because everyone has to be quiet. There is no reason why there can’t be music bumping while golfers walk to their ball. If a golfer wants to jam to some Carrie Underwood while he walks to his ball, let him do it. If someone wants to listen to some hipster bullshit while he strolls the course, fine. That’s his problem. I'm also a big fan of each golfer having his own walk up music like in baseball. It will add some flavor and personality to the game and to each golfer. Some possible suggestions for walk up songs include: “I Kissed A Girl” by Katy Perry; “I Knew You Were Trouble” by Taylor Swift; “Since U Been Gone” By Kelly Clarkson; and last but not least, “Bitches N Marijuana” By Chris Brown and Tyga. But golf can only go so far by adding music to it.
Golf also needs to change the terms used for its scoring system. There’s nothing exciting about a “Birdie” or “Par” or a “Bogey.” They need to spice things up a bit. Even bowling has better names for its practices than golf does. You can get a turkey in bowling, but you can only get a tiny little birdie in golf. My solution is to change the names to more exciting things. More manly things like “Porterhouse” or “Dwayne the Rock Johnson.” Tell me you wouldn’t be pumped if someone got a double Porterhouse. I for one would enjoy seeing Rory Mcllroy make an awesome putt for a Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I’m down for a hole in one to be called a “Nick Offerman-chainsaw-hammer-rhinoceros-sausage-chest bump-woooooo!” I can already see the TV ratings going up. But that’s not enough. Golf needs to blow all the other sports out of the water. In order to do this, they need to become more creative.
I'm a big fan of having a trick shot hole. That will be exciting. If Dude Perfect can make crazy shots, I bet these pro golfers can too. Here are a few suggestions: Hit the ball behind the back; Hit the ball blindfolded; Hit the ball between your legs; Hit the ball while a drunk person is on your back; Hit the ball while having elbow surgery; Hit the ball while delivering your 4th child; Hit the ball while having a heart attack; Hit the ball while you’re snowboarding away from the Wicked Witch of the West; Hit the ball while your teaching underprivileged kids algebra. Just to name a few of your basic trick shots. Now while trick shots are awesome and fun, they’re not challenging enough for the golfers.
I suggest that Dikembe Mutombo guard the golfers at the 15th hole. Let's see how good these golfers really are after having to hit the ball over a 7 foot giant human being. If they can do that, they can do anything. Dikembe will be saying "no no no" but the viewers will be saying "yes yes yes." Having Mutombo will for sure make golf more fun to watch at home, but I think golf needs to add some extra incentive for fans to actually come to the tournaments.
I would like to see one of the holes should have a student section like atmosphere to it. In the vein of the Cameron Crazies at Duke. Have the fans be right next to the golfers while chanting personal, nasty things to them. Like “Zach Johnson was a day late on his taxes.” Or how about “Adam Scott more often than not doesn’t recycle.” That will really get inside the golfers heads, and bring more excitement to the game of golf. Now because the golfers will be so mentally distraught by the things being chanted at them, some of their shots won’t go as they planned.
I suggest that each golfer be allowed to throw the ball once per hole. We all have had those moments where we shank one and feel horrible about our game. We just want to throw the ball so why not make it legal for one hole. They player must publicly say "fuck it" and proceed to throw the ball.
I also think they should change the flags at each hole to American flags. Really embrace the American spirit. That’s what the people want. I mean, we put the flag on the moon so why can't we put it on our golf courses? While having the American flag on each hole will no doubt bring in more viewers, it’s still not quite enough to make Golf the powerhouse it should be.
Another thing I would change to golf to make it more exciting is I would get rid of the bunkers. Fuck bunkers. Everyone hates them, so let’s get rid of them. I would like to see them be replaced with swimming pools. That’s right, pools. I hope you can hold your breath underwater Sergio Garcia. It just adds that level of excitement that golf needs. I think I speak for all of us when I say I would love to see golfers have to go underwater to try and get their shot onto the green. Bringing the phrase “sink or swim” to life. Plus we can get some cool underwater camera from TV and experience golf in a whole new way. Replacing bunkers with pools will make the game more challenging and exciting, but I still think golf can still take it to a whole new level.
Oh, you think you’re so special Jordan Spieth because you just won the Masters at age 21, huh? Well let’s see you play a hole left handed. How good are you now Jordy? Huh? I’m suggesting here that at least once a round the golfers have to play a hole the opposite way they hit. Let’s see how well these golfers can really play. The ambidextrous golfers will thrive, while the simple laterality golfers will fall.
And what’s with this bullshit of playing on the ground? Fuck it; we are going in the air for a helicopter hole. What could be more exciting than seeing a golfer tee-off from a helicopter? Nothing, that’s what. You better not be afraid of heights Bubba Watson because golf is going high in the sky. After this, golf will be soaring into new heights. But I still think we need some more personality out of the golfers.
A big problem that I have with golf is there is a big lack of celebration from the golfers after they hit an amazing shot. I want to see golfers flip their clubs bat flip style after an amazing tee shot. Let the people know that you’re a millionaire who hits a fucking little white ball for a living. I want to see backflips after a stellar chip shot. I want to see Jim Furyk bounce on a trampoline, dunk a basketball, chug a beer, tame a lion, and chest bump an alligator…and that’s just when he saves par. That’s the excitement that golf needs. Also, why not have the golfers’ crowd surf from hole to hole. Make it fun and exciting for the young kids to watch. These are all cool and fresh ideas, but I think Golf can borrow an idea from Football.
It’s really grueling to watch 18 straight holes of golf. So I think golf needs some halftime entertainment after 9 holes. What’s the most exciting thing you can do for halftime entertainment at a golf tournament? Golf cart races. Maybe have some lucky fans get to face each other in a golf cart race around the course. That would be exciting, and it divvies up the long excruciating round of golf.
So this is for you, Tim Finchem; commissioner of the PGA Tour. But, I don’t really like your name so for the rest of this paragraph I am going to call you Mr. Golf. That is what I thought your name was going to be, and to be honest, it’s what your name should be. So, Mr. Golf I hope you will take my recommendations seriously, and adapt them to your game so your glorious game can be way more exciting.

Light Up Your Life: And Keep it Lit!!" by Robert T. Gardner
"This book is intended to clear the view of life for people, especially our youth, who sometimes allow themselves to be derailed from their chosen paths—usually, due to a wide assortment of experiences they endure related to family life. As human beings, the early part of our lives shape how we think, feel, and behave during the latter part of our lives. It is these experiences that determine if we possess the emotional intelligence to propel ourselves to live a fulfilled life and do what we were born to do. Each of us was born with a special talent. Yet most of us miss our true calling. In this book, you will find out how to turn on your light, become what you were born to be, and make the world a better place."

PSA nitrogen generator can meet special institutions by customized design
|PSA Nitrogen Generator
|Atmospheric dew point
Working Principle Description:
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is a new gas adsorption and separation technology. It uses carbon molecular sieve as adsorbent (carbon molecular sieve is a specially processed ink particle with pulverized coal as raw material, and its surface is covered with countless micropores). A two bed PSA device is used to separate nitrogen rich from the air, so as to obtain nitrogen. The separation principle: when the compressed air passes through the adsorption bed, the oxygen molecules directly enter the micropores on the surface of the carbon molecular sieve and are adsorbed.
The nitrogen molecules cannot enter the micropores and are enriched in the adsorption bed. The nitrogen gas with a certain purity is transported. The ability of carbon molecular sieve to adsorb oxygen increases with the increase of pressure and decreases with the decrease of pressure. The principle of adsorption and decompression is desorption when carbon molecular sieve is pressurized is used to cooperate with the circulation of AB tower to achieve the purpose of separation, which is referred to as PSA nitrogen production for short.
Nitrogen, commonly referred to as inert gas, is used in some inert atmospheres for metal treatment and in bulbs to prevent arcing, but it is not chemically inert. It is an essential element in animal and plant life and an integral part of many useful compounds. Nitrogen combines with many metals to form hard nitrides, which can be used as wear-resistant metals. A small amount of nitrogen in steel will inhibit grain growth at high temperature and improve the strength of some steels. It can also be used to produce a hard surface on steel. Nitrogen can be used to produce ammonia, nitric acid, nitrate, cyanide, etc; In the manufacture of explosives; Filled high temperature thermometer, incandescent bulb; Form inert material to preserve the material and use it in a drying oven or glove bag. Liquid nitrogen during food freezing; As a coolant in the laboratory.
● Nitrogen delivery ≤1000Nm3/hr;
● Purity 99. 9%
● Pressure 0.5~0.8 Mpa
● Atmospheric dew point ≤－40℃

NEW DELHI — Unseasonably heavy rainfall has destroyed crops, washed away bridges and killed dozens of individuals throughout India and Nepal in a reminder of the devastation brought on by a altering local weather.
The loss of life toll continued to rise on Wednesday as landslides and flooding broken properties and stranded 1000’s of vacationers flocking to trip spots and pilgrimage websites throughout Hinduism’s festive season, which coincides with the autumn harvest.
“Historically October is the start of post-monsoon,” stated R.Ok. Jenamani, a senior scientist from India’s meteorological division. “But this time what happened was that western disturbances were very, very intense.”
Cyclonic circumstances in the Bay of Bengal off India’s east coast despatched heavy winds and rainfall throughout the subcontinent, reaching the Himalayas in Nepal and spreading all the best way down to the coastal ravines of India’s southwestern peninsula.
In the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, days of heavy rainfall — in one place, essentially the most since 1897 — killed no less than 46 individuals and left a whole lot extra stranded in hillside resorts, with flooded lakes swamping roads.
South Asia’s monsoons have at all times arrived with fury. But the scenes of loss of life and destruction taking part in out in the area are yet one more reminder of the urgency of local weather change, consultants say. A warming local weather will imply extra frequent excessive rainfall in many components of the world, scientists have stated.
India and its neighbors have struggled to sq. improvement initiatives supposed to elevate thousands and thousands of individuals out of poverty with the dangers of a altering local weather.
Highways and bridges have been constructed in distant districts more and more inclined to landslides and floods. And nations, notably India, are relying closely on coal to gasoline progress, one thing that’s seemingly to come underneath the highlight on the United Nations’ COP26 local weather convention in Glasgow this month.
Governments in South Asia are anticipated to push rich nations for monetary support to assist them shift away from fossil fuels and towards cleaner sources of vitality.
That swap — if it occurs — might take years, stalling not solely worldwide pledges to cut back international carbon emissions, but in addition initiatives to mitigate the consequences of a much less predictable and extra harmful local weather.
Meteorologists weren’t anticipating the catastrophic rainfall that has deluged India and Nepal in current days.
About 100 individuals had been evacuated from a Lemon Tree resort in Nainital, a former British colonial hill station in Uttarakhand. Hotel administration workers remained to take care of older adults, after rescue employees determined that an evacuation might be too dangerous for them given the hairpin turns and steep drops on the district’s slender mountain highway.
“The water is receding now, but the vehicles are still stranded,” stated Akriti Arora, an organization spokeswoman.
Uttarakhand officers feared the loss of life toll might rise additional as the receding waters uncovered individuals trapped underneath the particles.

“All the forces are on the ground,” she stated.
Still, the forecast of one other bout of heavy rainfall in the times forward difficult a full evaluation. “It’s difficult to get all of the details,” she stated.
This week, officers in Kerala opened overflowing dams, the primary time state officers had made such a transfer since catastrophic flooding killed greater than 400 individuals in 2018.
India deployed navy and air power personnel to help with rescue efforts, and to power individuals dwelling in the trail downstream from the dam to evacuate.
Landslides and floods additionally struck Nepal this week, with no less than 50 individuals killed in inundated far-flung villages. Hundreds of homes in hilly areas had been swept away. Highways had been blocked, and a regional airport, its tarmac submerged, was pressured to cancel flights.
There, too, the cloudbursts stunned scientists, who had forecast that the Himalayan nation’s interval of heavy rains had ended greater than per week in the past.
Rice paddy that was prepared for harvest was broken in the rain, inflicting Nepal’s farmers to despair and prompting fears of a meals disaster in one of many world’s poorest nations.
“Rainfalls in October were reported in the past, too, but not to this intensity,” stated Ajaya Dixit, an professional on local weather change vulnerability in Nepal. “Climate change is real, and it is happening.”

Boxing, weightlifting and fashionable pentathlon have been set a goal of about 18 months to make adjustments with a purpose to hold their standing as Olympic sports activities for the 2028 Los Angeles Video games.
The governing our bodies of boxing and weightlifting have been described as drawback kids by Worldwide Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach, who has lengthy voiced considerations with the management of these sports activities and points with corruption and doping.
Trendy pentathlon has successfully been advised by the IOC to take away equestrian leaping from the occasion, frightening a backlash from offended athletes.
The high-profile incident of a coach putting a horse on the Tokyo Olympics has undermined fashionable pentathlon’s popularity regardless of greater than 100 years within the Video games since being created by IOC founder Pierre de Coubertin.
All three sports activities have been left off the preliminary record of 28 on the 2028 program, which will likely be put to IOC members for approval in February.
The record of permitted sports activities consists of skateboarding, browsing and sports activities climbing. All three made profitable Olympic debuts in Tokyo and look to be locked in for the long run because the IOC chases youthful audiences.
It additionally units them to obtain a share of future Olympic broadcasting revenue, which is presently value a minimum of $ 15 million to every sport.
The three sports activities left remoted Thursday nonetheless have a “pathway for inclusion” on the 2023 annual assembly of the IOC membership, Bach stated.
They should “display to the satisfaction” of the IOC government board they’ve made adjustments variously to the governance and organizational tradition of the sports activities. Trendy pentathlon additionally wants to exchange horse driving with a extra inclusive self-discipline accessible to younger individuals worldwide.
Soccer remains to be on the Los Angeles program, however Bach put FIFA on discover due to its plans to play World Cups each two years, as an alternative of each 4. The present cycle of males’s World Cups would put any biennial match in a direct conflict with the Los Angeles Olympics.

In today’s society where technology has become more advanced and developed, it is no surprise that there has been a significant increase in social media usage. Beginning with the introduction of pagers to Myspace in 2003, the market has only expanded. In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg founded the social networking company, Facebook, which immediately became an internet sensation and sprouted inspiration for Instagram, Twitter, Vine, and Snapchat in the following years.
These media platforms have garnered much fame and attention for their features to share photos, videos, and personal opinions instantly with the click of a single button. Supporters of social media claim that it is the “easiest form of communication plus its free” according to student Noah Chung from LACES High school.
Recently, at the Korean American Coalition Model United Nations, Students were prompted to engage in a formal debate discussing the benefits of social media. Although I initially sided with the group fighting for social media, I quickly understood that there is more harm than benefits.
Although social media is a free way to communicate with peers and form networking connections, the fact that it is so easy to share one’s thoughts can lead to rash decisions. One example may be “racial tweets” and “angry rants” that are posted without fully considering the consequences of sharing something that will never be completely erased from the global web. Laura Lee, a famous YouTube personality with over 4 million followers, was caught up in a controversy with racist tweets that dated back to 2012. Ultimately these tweets ended up severely damaging her entire career.
Another argument that is frequently raised is the use of social media to spread news on political campaigns and controversial topics. Despite the use of social media for campaigning and providing the latest news I can confidently say that most sources are not as reliable as they seem. There is a common misconception that the news provided on these platforms give the “full story” of a certain issue. However, many of the news articles and stories that appear on your feed are specifically tailored by the media sites by using past search history and following accounts. Director Adam Chong of MUN agreed to this statement as he recollected, “It’s very rare to see articles that do not fit my political viewpoints”.
Finally, I bring up the point that social media has caused an increase in cyberbullying and social pressure. Student Allison Lee of Crescenta Valley High School revealed, “ I realized that when I hang out with friends they spend the majority of their time on social media. Most people in our generation only post to gain a lot of likes and comments which builds up on the social pressure of a perfect feed and social life”.
Ultimately, the question is raised. Is social media really as beneficial as it seems?

Harvard University is committing more capital to a strategy that backs plaintiffs in commercial disputes, delivering robust uncorrelated returns.
The strategy is run by IMF Bentham Ltd., a publicly traded company which last week finished raising $500 million for a fifth litigation fund that will focus outside the U.S. Harvard, the world’s richest university, also committed capital to a $500 million fund that IMF Bentham raised last year to finance plaintiffs in the U.S., according to the company.
Litigation finance has made inroads with law firms and litigants around the world, with investors committing an estimated $9 billion over the long-term to the growing industry, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The funds, which have been knocked for fueling more lawsuits, pursue strategies from financing cases against corporations to providing cash advances to individual plaintiffs in exchange for a share of settlements.
“We see ourselves as providing the capital for the Davids to take on the Goliaths,” said Andrew Saker, chief executive officer of IMF Bentham, which manages about $1.4 billion. “More and more plaintiffs are aware of litigation finance as an alternative.”
Litigation finance funds have posted internal rates of return of more than 30%, according to the Bloomberg report. IMF Bentham’s strategies have delivered an IRR of about 60% since July 2011, according to a March 2019 investor document.
Saker said the industry attracts institutional investors because returns aren’t correlated with markets and claims can increase in times of distress.
A spokesman for Harvard’s endowment, which manages $39 billion, declined to comment.
IMF Bentham, which was founded in Australia in 2001, is one of the older players in an industry that has been drawing new entrants. In addition to commercial litigation and class actions, the firm also represents creditors in insolvency cases, according to its website.
The company, which expanded to the U.S. in 2011, has settled 144 cases, won 14 and lost 17 through June 2018, according to an annual report. It has notched $1.5 billion in total recoveries.
Investors in IMF Bentham’s fifth fund include London-based Partners Capital, which oversees endowment and foundation portfolios, Amitell Capital Pte Ltd. in Singapore and Canada’s Balmoral Wood, according to a statement from the firm. The size of the fund could double to $1 billion if investors exercise the option to roll over into a successor pool.

Ecuador approves oil drilling in Amazon rainforest park
President abandons plan to conserve forest in return for cash
Ecuador has abandoned a conservation plan that would have paid the country not to drill for oil in the Amazon rainforest.
President Rafael Correa Thursday approved drilling in a part of Yasuni National Park that had previously been untouched by the oil industry.
The park is one of the most biodiverse areas in the world and the decision resulted in protests in Quito by environmentalists.
But Correa said rich nations had failed to back the UN-backed initiative to pay the country not to drill, leaving Ecuador with no choice but go ahead with drilling.
In 2010, Ecuador launched a UN-backed scheme to attract donations to forego drilling in the east portion of the park with the aim of raising $3.6 billion US, about half the value of reserves in the park's Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini oil field.
But in three years the initiative attracted only $13 million in actual donations. By the start of this year, the total of pledges from governments and individuals reached $300 million, according to its negotiators, but only a fraction of that amount was actually deposited in the trust.
UN-administered fund falls short
The fund, administered by the UN Development Program, was based on the theory that stopping the drilling would prevent more than 400 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from going into the atmosphere.
"The world has failed us," Correa said Thursday in a televised address. "I have signed the executive decree for the liquidation of the Yasuni-ITT trust fund and through it, end the initiative."
"It was not charity that we sought from the international community, but co-responsibility in the face of climate change," he added.
Yasuni National Park covers nearly 10,000 sq km and drilling has been allowed in parts of the park since the 1970s. In addition to its broad biodiversity, the rainforest is home to two threatened indigenous populations.
The Yasuni oilfields hold an estimated 846 million barrels of crude, 20 per cent of Ecuador's reserves. The decision announced Friday affects about one per cent of its area, President Correa said.
Matt Finer, a scientist at the U.S.-based Center for International Environmental Law, expressed dismay at the decision.
"It is deeply disappointing that this alternative model for dealing with oil and gas reserves in mega diverse rainforests did not work," he said via email from Peru.
"The Yasuni-ITT Initiative was the lone exception to the relentless expansion of hydrocarbon projects deeper into the most remote tracts of the western Amazon. Now there is really no viable alternative to stop the wave of drilling slated for the most biodiverse region of the world."
The decision was a blow to environmental activists, who had hoped to protect part of the Amazon rainforest from development and pollution. It also stalls hopes that the Ecuador experiment could be a model to control climate change by offering other countries incentives to keep hydrocarbons in the ground.
Oil companies, including PetroEcuador which has drilling rights nearby, have been quietly preparing for the abandonment of the initiative by surveying and building roads to the area.

Consumers and motorists are bracing themselves for another hefty increase in the fuel price, making it the fourth consecutive price hike this year.
The price of both grades of petrol, 93 octane and 95 octane unleaded (ULP), and lead replacement petrol (LRP), will increase 54c/ℓ with effect from midnight tonight.
The price of 0,05% sulphur diesel will increase 1c/ℓ, while the price of 0,005% sulphur diesel will remain unchanged, according to a statement by the Department of Energy.
The department cited relatively higher Brent crude oil prices as the main reason for the increase.
“The average Brent crude oil price increased from [about] US$66/barrel [about R948/barrel] to US$70,82/barrel [R1 017/barrel] during the period under review. This [was the] highest level in almost six months as the US government decided to eliminate sanction waivers that allowed buyers to import Iranian crude oil,” explained Energy Minister Jeff Radebe.
FNB agriculture economist, Paul Makube, said the recent surge in the oil price was “a double whammy” for farmers, due to the direct impact on the fuel price and the indirect effect on oil derivatives such as fertiliser, pesticides and herbicides.
“The summer crop season has ended; however, farmers will start procuring for the next season at higher cost as they are yet to receive the income from the current crop that is still on the land. Furthermore, we are closer to the next planting season for winter crops and the higher costs will definitely erode producer margins.”

What is happening in our world? Who is doing what? what is going on now? These are questions that will be answered. Enjoy.
The Witcher Season 2 Netfilx Premiere Date, News, Cast, Plot Details, and Spoilers
The first season of The Witcher was a hell of a ride—an often confusing medley of guts and nudity and magic and one kick-ass theme song taking place over multiple timelines. In the finale, all the separate narratives and timelines converge into what sets up a much more promising second season.
What happened in The Witcher finale?
Well, essentially The Witcher took place over a span of 40 years, with the timeline of Ciri escaping the fall of Cintra being the present. The backstories of Yennefer becoming a mage and her meeting of Geralt of Rivia are told over a series of simultaneous flashbacks. In the final episode, a group of mages led by Yennefer attempt to stop the advance of the Nilfgaardian army into the North. Yennefer’s side wins as she embraces the chaos within her, but her fate is left unclear after the battle. Meanwhile, Geralt is mortally wounded and taken to a nearby farm, where he finally meets up with Ciri—thus beginning to fulfill his destiny.
What will Season Two be about?
The first season of The Witcher is loosely based on The Last Wish by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Events like Episode Eight’s Battle of Sodden Hill more or less happen as it’s told in the books, and The Witcher showrunners have said that they will continue to pull from events Sapkowski’s stories. That means the next material the show will likely adapt would be Blood of Elves and Time of Contempt.
The good news for anyone who was confused by the often separate timelines and stories, is that The Witcher will embrace a more linear structure in Season Two, showrunner Lauren Hissrich said in a recent interview with Gamesradar. “What’s great about season two, I can tell you, is that, in what we’ve written, the story becomes much more focused. There’s a stronger drive in the story, because all of the relationships that we’ve been setting up in season one, actually start to come into fruition in season two,” she said.
That means, now that these characters have come together, the story will be more focused and take more care with its worldbuilding rather than providing origin stories.
“I knew from the very beginning of writing this season that I wanted the last moment to be the meeting, and realizing that [Geralt and Ciri’s] destiny has been fulfilled,” Hissrich told IGN. “Because that’s what so much of Season 1 is about, right? It’s about the destiny of these three characters and how they find each other and how they move through the world, and interacting and moving together even though they don’t want to be. So, [in] Season 2 we actually get to explore some of that.”
In the finale of Season One of The Witcher, Geralt briefly sees a vision of a young woman named Visenna. While the show doesn’t give any other details about this new character, we know from clues in the games and books that she is his mother. As the Witcher Wiki explains:
Visenna was a druid, healer, and a sorceress, as well as the mother of witcher Geralt of Rivia. Geralt got the opportunity to meet her face to face as she treated some very serious injuries he had sustained.
This brief tease of the new character hints that Season Two will delve more into Geralt’s history and how he became a Witcher.
When does Season Two debut?
It’s unclear at this point, but according to Variety, the production is set to begin in early 2020, meaning Season Two is likely to return in late 2020 or 2021.

The vehicles of Ettore Bugatti are among the great legends of automobile history. From the middle of the 1920s until the start of the Second World War, the race cars with the typical horseshoe grill and the light blue paintwork built in Molsheim in Alsace won countless racing victories and thus founded the myth of the brand, which still lives on today as part of the VW Group. What is by and large forgotten, however, is that the small German automobile company Rabag at one time built around 100 Bugatti vehicles under license. The only known example of this Rabag Bugatti can now be viewed in the Technik Museum Sinsheim, perfectly restored alongside three original Bugattis.
The car was produced, at least in part, only about 50 km away from the Technik Museum Sinsheim, in Mannheim. Rheinische Automobilbau AG, referred to as "Rabag" for short, was founded in 1920 as the automobile division of the Funke tool factory in Düsseldorf, but just one year later, Mannheim-based Automobil AG, the automobile division of Union Maschinenfabrik, was integrated into the company. As far as is known, the Düsseldorf part of the company produced the engines, while the Mannheim part was responsible for construction of the bodywork.
The Bugatti models 22 and 23, for which they had acquired a licence from Ettore Bugatti, served as a basis for the engines and the chassis. The superstructures were partly self-constructed, but again here, sometimes the Bugatti design was adopted largely unchanged. The latter is true for the example on display in the museum, because it resembles its role model so much, that without the "RABAG Lic. BUGATTI" emblem affixed on top on the radiator, it can hardly be distinguished from an original Bugatti. In terms of drive, it has a 4-cylinder in-line engine with 1455 cc displacement and 25 hp engine power. The top speed is around 95 km/h.
The production figures at Rabag were very low. Only around 100 Rabag-Bugattis were built between 1922 and 1926. Apart from the one now on display in the Technik Museum Sinsheim, no other example is known about, neither in any museum nor in any private collection. It is therefore presumably the only Rabag car that has lasted to this day.

By Grace Leung, Newport Beach City Manager
Our next City Council meeting is Tuesday, January 12. Items that may be of interest are highlighted below. The entire agenda, and all reports, can be viewed at https://www.newportbeachca.gov/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/64234/72.
There will be a Study Session at 4 p.m.:
- The Council will review and discuss a traffic calming study for the Mariners and Dover Shores neighborhoods, along with proposed improvements. City staff will provide results of the study, which included traffic speeds, traffic volumes, accident history, and cut-through traffic in the neighborhoods. The final report presents a plan for City Council consideration that would include installation of speed cushions and edge-line striping to address traffic concerns. The report can be viewed at https://newportbeachca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument?id=67231.
- The Council will receive an update on the Harbor Commission’s review of Harbor Code Title 17, Marine Activities Permit, and recommended revisions to the code. Marine Activity Permits are required for businesses that operate some portion of their businesses on the water.
The Regular Meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. The following are items of note:
On the Consent Calendar:
- Council members will consider a 25-year lease extension with the Orange County Water District for the use of a waterline linking Newport Beach to groundwater sources in Fountain Valley. The lease agreement was originally signed in 1991, and Newport Beach began using the connection in 1996, following upgrades. The waterline has become a critical part of the City’s water system, allowing for access to less expensive groundwater sources and reducing dependence on more expensive imported sources. Under the agreement, Newport Beach would pay $1 a year for the waterline rights.
Public Hearings include:
- Consideration of several entitlement applications that would allow for the future development of a 13-acre property with up to 312 dwelling units atop an 825-space parking structure as part of the Residences at 4400 Von Karman project. The development applications also include an approximately 1-acre public park and a 284-space freestanding parking structure within the Koll Center Newport Professional and Business Office Site B, generally located between Von Karman Avenue and Birch Street in the vicinity of John Wayne Airport. The City Council will consider adoption of the environmental clearance and planning applications for the project, and introduction of two ordinances to amend the Planned Community Development Plan and approval of a Development Agreement. If approved, the item will return to City Council on January 26 for final adoption of the two ordinances.
Current Business includes:
- A potential revision to the Council policy on City trees that would provide more transparency and consistency for the retention, removal, maintenance, reforestation, trimming, and planting of approved City-owned trees. The item was reviewed by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, which recommended the policy revisions for Council adoption.


Managing the car dealer security of your auto dealership can be a difficult task. With many customers and employees passing through the property, and millions of dollars worth of automobile inventory it can be a challenge to keep track of everything going on.
These factors can make car dealerships a prime target for theft, so it is incredibly important that you have an efficient automotive dealership video monitoring and surveillance in place.
With an average loss of $8,407 per theft, having car dealership security is a must.
Some dealerships use live guards or simple cameras to protect their premises – but there are definitely limitations to on-site guards and cameras that do not proactively deter crime. The best choice for a car dealership security system is a modern, IP-based security system that is “Real Time” monitored by Active Watch Security. Active Watch monitored cameras is like having a static guard for every monitor camera at a fraction of the cost.
The security of any business, including a car dealership, is paramount to ongoing success. Having a video surveillance in real time is an investment in your businesses safety and future. We are here to assist you with our real time video monitoring and a well-trained team behind it, we will create a special proactive system tailored for your business.
Crime caught on camera
Security Guards and Alarms
Security guards are expensive and they are not able to watch the entire site. Having an alarm system means constantly facing false alarms and it is well known in the security industry every alarm is false until it is proven otherwise. Each of these services is incomplete and expensive; guard average cost $16 – $22 per hour and fines for false alarms. We have a solution that is pocket friendly and very reliable security wise. Our eyes are on the premises 24/7 and we are there to create a special system tailored for your business needs. With our automotive dealership security solutions activities will be recorded, archived and available to you locally.
Having an automotive dealership video monitoring service at your dealership will pay for itself by cutting costs and minimizing theft and damages on your property. Many of our clients have experienced 20 to 60 percent reduction when they switched to a security solution that is developed for their business needs.
Car lots can be places filled with unwanted and dangerous criminal activities like car theft and damage. Our team of operators assisted with AI is always on the lookout for any suspicious activity, often preventing illegal activity such as break-ins, catalytic converter theft and damage to vehicles before it happens.
We are aware that every car dealership owner is facing a problem regarding customer claims, damage to vehicles when they are in for service or repairs. Our operators are at the ready and will check the archived footage to inspect if the car was damaged (providing that a monitored camera is present in that area).
Vandalism is not an option to be excluded when it comes to car dealership property.
Guards physically are not capable of being everywhere at once. Our monitoring agents can track illegal activity that may happen and follow the protocol you set up to prevent it!


A prison chaplain has paid tribute to his fellow clergy and prison community after being recognised for his work in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list.
The Very Reverend Stephen McBrearty, who is lead Prison Chaplain for the Catholic Church, was speaking after becoming Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE).
Fr McBrearty said: “I am humbled and delighted to be the recipient of this award which recognises the work of the entire prison chaplaincy in Northern Ireland. I would like to pay tribute to the extraordinary chaplains from all Christian denominations and other faiths, the men and women who untiringly give their service to the Prison Parish family.
“Throughout the history of the Northern Ireland Prison Service, chaplains have been appointed to spiritually and pastorally accompany those placed into their care and those they work alongside. In their ministry, chaplains bring an awareness of the need for prisoners to be reconciled and resettled into the community within which much pain and suffering has been caused by their actions.
“The Prison Service works tirelessly for the community and I wish, on behalf of all the prison chaplains, to pay tribute to the Director General, Ronnie Armour and his team for generously supporting and affirming the work of prison chaplaincy.”
Congratulating Fr Stephen on his honour, Director General of the Northern Ireland Prison Service Ronnie Armour said: “This is a special day for Fr Stephen, the entire Chaplaincy and the whole of the Northern Ireland Prison Service. Chaplains in our three prisons play a crucial role in supporting the people in our care. They are a trusted and valuable part of the prison family.
“I want to pay tribute to all of our Chaplains but in particular the work of Fr Stephen in Hydebank over the last 22 years which has been invaluable to our staff, our partners but most of all to the young men and women in custody. I hope and trust that he will continue that work for many years to come. I want to offer my personal congratulations, and that of everyone associated with the Prison Service, to Fr Stephen on this richly deserved recognition of his selfless work.”
Notes to editors:
1. The Most Rev Stephen McBrearty became a Prison Chaplain at Hydebank Wood in August 1997 and was appointed lead Catholic Chaplain to the Northern Ireland Prison Service in 2008 by the Most Reverend Noel Treanor, Bishop of Down and Connor.
2. Fr Stephen was ordained in 1981 and is Parish Priest of St Colmcille’s Holywood.

They've been selling our records since many years, but some of our releases are now also available digitally from Hardwax.
Curle 053 by Gavin Russom is out now
I got to know Gavin Russom’s music thanks to the amazing 'The Days Of Mars' album he recorded together with Delia Gonzalez now ten years ago on DFA Records. Flash forward to last year, when we released Michele Mininni’s trippy 'Endless Ceremony'. Gavin Russom loved that one and sent over a demo shortly after - you’re listening to it now. I am really proud to be able to release an EP from such an extraordinary artist!

Curle 052 by Hiver is out now
The releases on Curle roughly go anywhere between deep house and solid techno, but Hiver’s deep techno sound is probably what I appreciate most myself if I had to choose. Melodic, floating and based on traditions but without sounding like something you already heard too often, that’s about how I would describe the Italian duo’s second Curle EP. Have a listen below.
Hiver hold a residency at Milan’s Dude Club, but in the meantime have played everywhere from Dimensions festival to Panorama Bar.

Camerado! This is no book;
Who touches this, touches a man.
So Long, Walt Whitman
As a child I wanted to be an architect, painter, journalist and even a nun.
I studied philology. I wanted to be a Beautiful Artist, too, but I stayed in artistontis...
I learned to make books. I wanted to write. Poetry. I was a poet on duty, as another better one said... And before me.
But it was never enough.
I needed to express myself and communicate, but also to do something tangible.
Touch, feel and create with your hands.
I read Like Water for Chocolate and came upstairs. From that moment I wanted to communicate with the kitchen, so I added one more to the list of my ways of expressing myself.
But it wasn't enough either.
Until one day Murakami taught me the way forward.
Ceramics allow me to combine many passions in one: each dish that I tournament with my hands is a blank canvas on which I can capture, express and transmit what I read, hear and feel, and, in addition, complete the party of communication that cooking represents for me.
So I guess it all comes down like this...
This is not a dish,
Whoever touches it, touches a person.
When I was little I wanted to be a painter or an architect.
Now that I am older I have realized that in life there is more than one way to be yourself.
In front of the lathe I am what the little girl I was would have wanted.

Don Felder Talks Collaboration With Styx's Tommy Shaw
Former Eagles Don Felder has opened up about his collaboration with Styx singer/guitar player Tommy Shaw on his single "Wash Away." The track appears on Felder's 2012 solo release Road to Forever and Don says it was a very relaxed collaboration.
"He helped me write lyrics on a couple of songs, which was great," Felder told ABC Radio. "We played guitars, set up a mic, sang the harmonies in my studio and it just turned out really wonderful to have collaboration like that."
It wasn't the only contribution from Shaw, however, who also co-wrote and recorded on a song called "Heal Me" for the album.
Felder will play cuts from the release at the Light Up the Blues event in Los Angeles on April 13.

Do You Need Better Hand Protection?
The right hand protection can offer essential support for your workout and help you find a faster path to great results. But what should you look for in a pair of weightlifting grips or exercise gloves? Great weightlifting grips provide four essential components of workout support. Make sure all four play a role in your choice.
Essential Features of Great Weightlifting Grips
- Safety and a Strong Grip
You need a pair of gloves or grips that help you gain a tight, controlled grasp of heavy bars and equipment. Your gloves should fit perfectly and shouldn’t confine your range of motion in any way. Ideally, you should be able to slide them on and forget you’re wearing them for the duration of your workout.
- Hand Protection
Your weightlifting grips should also protect your hands from abrasions, blisters and scrapes. This can prevent minor injuries and infections, but it can also support your results, since we tend to favor injured hands without even realizing we’re doing it. This can compromise our technique.
Gloves that cover the whole hand not only restrict our range of motion, but they also collect sweat and moisture, which can lead to mildew, bacteria, and unpleasant smells. Unlike regular weightlifting gloves, Gripads moisture-wicking neoprene weightlifting grips allow your hands to breathe and move naturally without sweaty confinement. The pads can also protect your hands from the germs that accumulate on shared gym surfaces.
The weightlifting grips you choose should stand up to abuse and work as hard as you do. Gripads are made of feather-light, super tough neoprene that can survive the most challenging reps and sets. When your workout ends, just toss the pads in the washing machine and they’ll come out clean and good as new.

Executive Producers Of "The Bible" Reveal First Look At New NBC Series Event, "A.D."
The 12-week event series premieres Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015
Posted: November 27, 2014, 5:00 PM | Category:Movies / Media Artist Tags: Source: Rogers & Cowan
The original NBC series event A.D., the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2013 ratings blockbuster miniseries The Bible, which garnered over 100 million US viewers, today reveals Jesus and the complete cast from around the world. From executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, the first episode of A.D. will premiere Easter Sunday, April 5th, 2015.
"Christianity is among the most diverse movements in history, so when Mark and I looked to bring this epic story of A.D. to life on NBC, it was important to us to find a cast as diverse and beautiful as the church is around the world." said Executive Producer Roma Downey. "We look forward to sharing these amazing performances with our audience, and in them we hope that people see themselves."
Juan Pablo di Pace, the critically acclaimed Argentinean actor, has been cast as Jesus. Di Pace is best known for his portrayal of Petros in the hit film Mamma Mia, along with award-winning theater work in London and Spain and his recurring role on the NBC show Camp. Di Pace leads an accomplished cast hailing from more than 10 different nations, including John - Babou Ceesay (Gambia); Mary Magdalene - Chipo Chung (Zimbabwe); James - Denver Isaac (Zimbabwe); Arik - Nicholas Pinnock (Jamaica); Simon The Zealot - Fraser Ayers (Scotland/Black); Ananias - Peter De Jersey (Britain); Mother Mary - Greta Scacchi (Italy); Thomas - Johannes Johannesson (Iceland); Judas - Cesare Taurasi (Italy); and Boaz - George Georgiou (Greece).
A.D. is an uplifting and harrowing journey through the beginning moments of the birth of the church picking up where the smash hit, The Bible, left off. A.D. follows the first ten chapters of the Book of Acts exploring the aftermath of Christ's death and its profound impact on his disciples, his mother Mary, and key political and religious leaders of the era, an impact that would completely change the world. A.D. will take its audience from the intense sorrow of Christ's ultimate sacrifice to the awe-inspiring wonder of the Resurrection and deep into his disciples' struggle to survive against opposition from every side as they continued to share his message of love with everyone, everywhere.
The series includes compelling context around the Biblical text, focusing initially on the Book of Acts while integrating dramatic history to help tell the full story of the people and their era. The audience will enter the world of the Apostles, of Pilate, Caiaphas, Herod Antipas and others, all from their own points of view. Each episode aims to bring the Biblical world to life in all of its grit and glory.

Around the turn of the 21st century, Johannes Heupel searched for a guidance system with mapping and contour capabilities, but didn't find what he wanted. So he set about developing the Windows laptop-based system he now markets as FarmerGPS from his farm near Stony Plain, Alberta.
In addition to providing lightbar guidance and a bird's-eye field map view, FarmerGPS also stores field maps and application data in the laptop's hard drive. This allows the operator to retrieve maps for use in other field operations, take notes and generate custom reports. For example, a custom applicator can export coverage area data to a spreadsheet program to create invoices while still in the field.
“Even today, most guidance systems are very limited for record keeping,” says Heupel, who notes that FarmerGPS could be used along with an automated steering system to capitalize on its mapping and record-keeping capabilities.
FarmerGPS supports importing of shape files and can export KML files for viewing in Google Earth. The software can recognize up to 10 boom sections via an interface box linked to sprayer/planter controllers, which also can be configured to automatically turn recording of field operations on and off.
The “lightbar” portion of FarmerGPS is arrayed along the bottom or top of the computer screen as a series of outlined boxes. The current position is darkened. The rest of the screen is devoted to the map view. Laptops with touch-screen capability can be configured with customizable buttons along the right side.
The list price of FarmerGPS is $349. Many customers run the software on small Windows XP-based netbook computers with 8.9-in. screens, which sell for about $400. Many netbooks have solid-state drives, which increase reliability, Heupel says.
In addition to a computer, the FarmerGPS software requires a GPS receiver and related cabling. FarmerGPS works with any GPS receiver using standard NMEA data protocols. Contact Heupel Farms, Dept. FIN, Box 2585, Stony Plain, AB T7Z 1X9, Canada, 780/990-4052, visit www.farmergps.com or www.freeproductinfo.net/fin, or circle 107.
