Notes for LEVIE JOSEPH JOZALE HANGJAS:
Levi was a tanner by profession. The Archief in Haarlem has no refernce for the name HANDRICKS, however there is a reference to a Welkous Hendrijntje who was maried to Levie Jozef HANGJAS. In the census of population in 1829 there was a family with 5 children at the Achterstraat (Backstreet) no. 230 in Haarlem.
Levie Joseph Hangjas,age 45, born in Amsterdam occupation: merchant, religion Jewish, Henderijntje Welkons age 34 from The Hague Hendrijntje is from Hendrica, Mozes Levi age 18 born in Amsterdam, Jacob Levi age 11, born in Haarlem,l Marcus Levi age 7, born Haarlem, Betje Levi, age 5 born Haarlem and Jozef Levi age 0 also born in Haarlem. Hangjas means something like Hangcoat. Perhaps Hangjas was impossible to pronounce in Australia and they decided to take the name Handricks

text: I was mowing the lawn one day and meditating on this very book, realising that I had the potential right at that very moment to be either an Esther or a Delilah to my husband, to my children and to the men in my church. At once I prayed to God and asked him to please help me to be an Esther to my people! As I said the phrase 'my people' I chuckled thinking that I was no queen, who am I to say 'my people' like that! But I knew my heart, it was not an arrogant prayer but it was a sincere prayer and I sincerely meant 'my people' as I understood my role in many people's lives.

Manford Best
Come Go With Me
- LP (Vinyl)
- Austria
- 2017
reissue of 1978 Nigerian Afrobeat/Disco/Reggae album: With the Super Wings in mutiny and a trial for the manslaughter of his former bandmate, Spuds Nathan, still hanging over his head, Manford Best came out swinging with Come Go With Me. It's a chirpy, calypso-influenced insight into the state of his mind and his first solo album. Recorded at Godiac Studios with the guys from Rock Town Express and a few of the Super Wings, Come Go With Me was the first album recorded on a new Tascam system that Goddy Oku had just bought back from London. The sound is crisp, clean and bright, perfectly suited to tracks like 'Come Go With Me' and 'Good Morning' and a welcome respite to the darker lyrics on 'Nobody Cares' and 'Far Far Far Away.' One of the stranger cuts is 'There's a Woman On My Mind (Mother)'. Manford regarded his mother as something of prophetess and would act instantly and without hesitation on the revelations in her 'dreams'. Come Go With Me was self-financed and released on Manford Best's own MacSeries Records label. Only 1,000 copies were pressed and he distributed them from the back of a Toyota van himself. A rare Afro gem, deserving of its place in the sun again.

Eji Oyewole
Me & You
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1985 Afrobeat/Funk album: A bona-fide Nigerian prince and probably the only musician to have ever played with Fela Kuti, Miles Davis and Bob Marley, Eji Oyewole combined African Highlife with western jazz to create a hybrid so that was as smooth as it was funky. His first album, Charity Begins At Home was an angry tirade against corruption in Nigeria. Me & You is his 'relationship' album, a brighter and happier set of songs that sees Eji all loved up, presumably with the mysterious 'Cameleon' featured on the cover. Eji's flute is no longer a strident voice raised in anger. Instead, on 'Me & You' and 'I'm a Dancer' it is a playful line of seduction. On the wonky and woozy 'Eniafelamo' his sax is a post-coital salutation. Even the one political track, 'Long Live Nigeria', is a loved up call for peace, progress and trust. Chilled, assured and dexterious, Me & You is a sophisticated showcase of Eji Oyewole's chops. 'This is the beginning of an atomic musical evolution,' he declares on the cover. 'Brothers and sisters, stay cool.'
Effi Duke & The Love Family
Mr. Love
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1980 Nigerian Jazz-Funk/Afrobeat album: Nigeria had a unique music scene which began spreading rapidly in the 1970s. The era was based on unspoiled use of fuzz pedal, keyboards and indisputable influences of the Psychedelic Blues bands of the West. In 1980 Effi Duke & The Love Family came out with their debut Mr. Love. It was released by Homzy Records which was a home of many Afro-Funk records, going strong from mid '70s toward '80s. Effi Duke & The Love Family being one of their most energetic albums. The '80s were definitely more into a jazzy sound with disco slowly infiltrating the African music scene. What's so unique about Mr. Love is Effi Duke's love for guitar based Jazz and together with African rhythms and funky bass, his album is a Funk/Jazz/Disco hybrid. He's an incredible guitarist and also at the time of this LP an ex-Wings member. They were one of the most popular bands from Nigeria. Effi Duke was a key part of the scene with being member of The Wings, The Visitors, The Apostles, he played also the guitars on Mary Afi Usuah's fantastic second LP African Woman (which will be also rereleased on PMG) and on many other great albums including the incredible Folk 77 album.
The Elcados
What Ever You Need
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1979 Nigerian Funk/Afrobeat album: By the 1979 release of Whatever You Need, the Elcados were ready to party. "We got rhythm, we got sound," they declare on 'Funky Music'. "You're going to dig it!' Starting out as the Moonrakers in Kanu in 1968, Steve Black, Rocky Mustapha, Tony Nosika and Frank Martins, spent the next decade gigging their way out of the north, including a surreal set with Khalifa Baba-Ahmed at the Miss New Nigeria contest. They released two rock-oriented albums in the mid '70s before hitting a disco/reggae groove on Whatever You Need. The album starts with the title track, a bouncy reggae number guaranteed to fill the dance floor. 'Cross Over Reggae' keeps the mood light before 'The World Is Full Of Injustice' delivers a bit of Rasta indignation. Funk monsters 'Marry The Poor' and 'Funky Music' bring it all home, reminding listeners that the guys didn't drag out their best shiny suits just to smoke spliffs. Sadly, Whatever You Need, was the last record the Elcados released. But they went out with the glitter ball burning brightly, dimmed but a little by the fug of the righteous herb.
Emma Dorgu
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1979 Nigerian Disco/Boogie/Funk/Afrobeat album: n 1979, Emma Dorgu decided it was time to act. He'd torn up the Lagos live scene with The Thermometers and conquered the airwaves with the single, 'World People'. But there were injustices afoot, not just in Nigeria, but in South Africa and Zimbabwe and across the continent as well, and he felt that something needed to be done. Roverman was his politicized call to action. Blackman Akeeb Kareem lent him the instruments and let him rehearse in his sitting room. Dorgu sets his stall out early in the reggae-tinged 'Free My People' calling for freedom for South Africa, freedom for Zimbabwe, indeed, freedom for all. Thankfully political injustice hadn't rid Emma completely of his urge to get on down. The New York ghetto funk of 'Roverman' and 'Loving' and the straighthead boogie of 'Afro Fever' leaven the message with a funky beat and an irresistible pull towards the dancefloor. On Roverman Emma Dorgu has achieved that that rarest of beats, an album that challenges your mind while it speaks to your feet. Protest music has never sounded so funky.
Emma Ogosi
Nobody Knows
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1978 Nigerian Boogie album: Limited to 500 copies only! Emma Ogosi has worn a lot of different hats in his career: former air force officer, guitarist with Benin-based Pogo Limited, and husband and manager of Nigerian reggae superstar, Evi-Edna Ogholi. In 1981, he donned a sequined cowboy hat and released Nobody Knows. Nobody Knows is arguably the Nigeria's best – and perhaps only – Disco Country album. Country music has always been influential in the country and Ogosi managed to channel Jim Reeves via the bright lights of Lagos' burgeoning disco scene to produce an album of sparkling mournfulness. The album starts brightly with 'You And I' and ends with 'Orindo,' a horn-driven dance floor filler. 'Nobody Knows' and 'A Lonely Child' venture into 'you done me wrong' territory. And you can imagine Kenny Rogers covering 'Give A Little', albeit wearing flares and platforms and a moustache instead of a beard. Overall, though, Nobody Knows is as disco as the sharp suit and gull-wing collar Emma is wearing on the cover. But don't be fooled – there are rhinestones on that there glitter ball.
Felix Lebarty
Girls For Sale
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1979 Nigerian Funk album: Before he was Nigeria's self-proclaimed Mr Lover Boy, Felix Lebarty was an upcoming musician in the country's Edo-Delta region. His big brother, Aigbe, was a legendary Highlife bandleader, but Felix paid his dues playing guitar with Thony Shorby Nwenyi and the Collection of Stars, along with fellow 'star' Mighty Flames bassist, Willy Nfor. Perversely, Girls For Sale was released after Lover Boy, the slick disco album that cemented his place in Nigerian music history. It is a collection of tracks Lebarty made early in his career, when his music was rawer and his pickup lines less sophisticated and less practised. In 'Come True', Lebarty actually admits to a girl that he hasn't got any money. He begs a girl to love him in 'Love Me Kiss Me' and pleads with a rival to give him a break in 'Don't Take My Girl'. He even takes a dig at Aigbe, his more successful sibling, in 'Mr Big Brother'. It's hardly what you'd expect from the disco god behind Lover Boy, who went on to have 19 children with 7 different women. To me, that's what makes Girls For Sale worth checking out. It's gritty, lo-fi and melodic, like The Apostles with a subtle a nod towards the Jackson Five, sung with endearing insecurity. What's not to like about that? - Peter Moore
Friimen Musik Company
We Can Get It On
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1978 Nigerian Funk/Afrobeat/Psych album: By the mid 1970's in Nigeria, the Biafran War was a distant memory and the music scene in the eastern city of Aba was booming again. Bands like The Funkees, The Wings and The Apostles grabbed the headlines, but the more interesting stuff was coming from smaller groups like the Friimen. The Friimen, or the Friimen Muzik Company to use their official name, were influenced as much by pre-Saturday Night Fever Bee Gees as Jimi Hendrix and James Brown. In Beni Tudumey they had the best keyboardist in the city, and in Dan Igbaji, Charlie Eze and Ken Okogbue its tightest rhythm section. Throw in Gbemi Saka Toju channeling his inner Barry Gibb and you had a band quite unlike any other in the country. The result is We Can Get it On, a hybrid of West Coast ballads and dancefloor chuggers. One moment they are thanking God for making the mountains ('The Creator'), the next salaciously suggesting it's time to make the mountains move ('We Can Get It On'). Some of the songs simply state the obvious ('Music Makes You Move'.) However, it's the track, 'Salt Sweet Style', that sums up the Friimen best: "We have the salt. We have the sweet. We have the style." It's all present and accounted for on We Can Get It On. - Peter Moore
Geraldo Pino
Boogie Fever
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1978 Nigerian Funk/Reggae/Afrobeat album: When Geraldo Pino rolled into town from Sierra Leone with his Heartbeats, Nigeria had never seen anything quite like them. Slick, tight and playing the latest James Brown-style funk on the very expensive equipment, they soon had the country in their thrall. 'Made me fall right on my ass!' a chastened Fela Kuti remembered in 1982. Fans of Geraldo's disarmingly eloquent enunciation on early albums – re-issued soon by PMG – may shocked the gruff, rawer tones on Boogie Fever. The album starts with a jaunty reggae track extolling the virtues of ganja and, later, 'Dance Fever' sounds like it was recorded down in Trenchtown after Geraldo had taken a toke or two of his own advice. Even the more traditional funk tracks like 'African Hustle' have a darker, more threatening vibe. Not that that is a bad thing. Boogie Fever is the sound of consummate musician letting his hair down. Or in Geraldo's case, letting it grow into a tight afro and not bothering to watch his Ps and Qs anymore. - Peter Moore, www.africanrevolutions.com / "Geraldo Pino came to Nigeria from Freetown in Sierra Leone in 1968 with his band THE HEARTBEATS and quickly changed the music scene completely. He was the first bandleader that brought sophistication into show business. He owned the best musical equipments, his costumes on stage was fantastic, his musicians were good looking guys with afro hair styles. His drummer then was Francis Foster who later played percussion with Paul Simon. Pino got the title of THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS in Nigeria. Girls loved him. I later joined his band with new set of musicians in 1974 as a singer while he based in Kano in the north of Nigeria. To survive in Nigeria those days as a musician you have to be very good on stage and Pino was. His stagecraft was exhilarating, his costumes were dazzling, he command the band and his audience wherever he played with his dancesteps and he became an inspiration to many Musicians. He later moved to Port Harcourt where he lived and died many years ago. Though he is dead, his music lives on through his many songs and this vinyl in your hands. His memory also lived with those who watched him on stage. Ladies and gentle men, this is GERALDO PINO!" - Steve Black
Guelewar Band Of Banjul
Warteef Jigeen
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1981 Gambian Afrobeat/Funk album: The Guelewar Band of Banjul are a band quite unlike any other – an explosive mix of soul and funk with local rhythms like Boogaraboo and Ndaga combined with a defiant insistence on singing in their local language, Wolof. They certainly blew a young Youssou N'dour away. He cites them as his biggest influence. Warteef Jigeen marks the point the band found its groove. The title track sets the tone early with parping horns and psychedelic guitar licks. 'N.T.C. The Gambia' and 'Jilana' seamlessly blend traditional percussion and plaintive sax. 'Leen Te Koun' and 'President Diawara' showcase some of the freakiest synth ever to come out of West Africa. It was Laye Ngom's decision as bandleader to draft in his cousin as singer that elevates Warteef Jigeen. Moussa Ngom had paid his dues singing at traditional circumcision ceremonies and his rough, expressive vocals bring a level of melancholy and intensity to the album. It's a melancholy and intensity that can only come from years of watching young boys take this painful journey to Gambian manhood, a journey, in a way, that Guelewar Band Of Banjul made on Warteef Jigeen.
Harry Mosco
Country Boy (Mr. Funkees)
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1978 Nigerian Funk/Afrobeat/Reggae album: Don't let the floppy hat and rolling English countryside on the cover fool you. Harry Mosco's Country Boy is a certified floor-filler, bursting with Studio 54 era disco-funk as well as a token reggae monster, complete with its own dub version. Harry Mosco always had swagger. A founding member of The Funkees, he'd stride out on stage in tight pants and dark sunglasses, commanding the attention of a population distracted by war. When The Funkees split in London, it was clear that his star would rise the fastest. Released in 1978 by fledgling Taretone label, Country Boy went on to become one of the best-selling Nigerian records of all time. The first few bars of 'It's Too Late' are guaranteed to get on the dance floor. Sam El'Salahi's slinky bassline on 'I Feel Funky' will keep you there. And 'Harry's Party' is a celebration you never want to end. The title track, and its dub doppleganger, are a reggae-tinged chance to catch your breath, before 'The Wanderer' drags you back on the dancefloor until the house lights come on.
Jake Sollo
Coming Home
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1977 Nigerian Funk/Afrobeat album: In 1977 Jake Sollo returned to Nigeria to record his first solo album, Coming Home. His long-term band, The Funkees, had imploded in London. And his big break with the Afro super band, Osibisa, was cut short when he went on strike with Kiki Gyan and promptly got sacked. Rather than sit at a bar and feel sorry for himself, Jake returned to Nigeria and got his mates together – including the aforementioned Mr. Gyan – and headed into the EMI studios in Lagos. The result was Coming Home, a triumphant album that combined the raw power of The Funkees with the slick tricks he learned in London. The opening instrumental, '404', is the track Carlos Santana would have recorded if he'd been born in Nigeria rather than Mexico. 'Raise Your Hands' and 'I Just Wanna Dance' are slick boogie monsters and 'Deiyo Deiyo' sees Jake displaying some mad synth skills on Africa's only Prophet-5, a hot piece of hardware that was transforming music in Europe and America. Coming Home is the sound of an artist at the heights of his power. And a precursor of the skills and sounds that would make Sollo the most sought after producer in Nigeria.
Masisi Mass Funk
I Want You Girl
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1979 Nigerian Afrobeat/Funk album: In mid-seventies, Nigerian bands came and went with alarming regularity, rising meteorically from the slums to stardom and falling back again just as quickly. Masisi Mass Funk from Anamara State was one such band. But during their brief moment in the stratosphere, they produced a funk gem in I Want You Girl. The band was championed by Ebere Ikoro from the Hygrades. He took them under his wing after an ill-advised collaboration with Soly Dibong. They were originators not imitators, he said. He produced I Want You Girl and played on it as well. It's easy to see what appealed to Ebere Ikoro. The title track has a Manfred Mann sixties vibe. 'Care To Love Me' is a wonky, off-kilter reggae calypso number. And 'Ungrateful People' bounces along with a Sly And The Family Stone chirpiness. However, it's the gospel numbers that really stand out. 'Heavenly Father' rocks out with strident keyboards and plaintive vocals. And the relentless 'He Is To Be Praised' is an afro-funk-rock-gospel monster, guaranteed to raise your eyes to heaven while keeping your feet firmly planted on the dance floor. Sadly, Masisi Mass Funk only released one album, their star burning as quickly as it did brightly. They went on to form First Planet, an Afro Boogie band that tore up Lagos dancefloors in the '80s. But that's another story for another day. - Peter Moore
Dr. Adolf Ahanotu
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1986 Nigerian Boogie/Funk/Afrobeat album: At a time when bandleaders in Nigeria used titles as an affectation, Dr. Adolf Ahanotu was the real deal. He had a PhD in music compilation and Master's degrees in education and communication. He also played a mean tenor sax, an instrument he mastered touring Owerri with the Mirabels. Ahanotu's scholarly background is apparent in the impeccable arrangements and the way each track is labelled with its musical type. The banging opening track, 'Sensation' is disco, notes the helpful doctor. The legendary 'Ijere' is to be considered Remire or Afro Jazz. 'Litany of Freedom' is reggae, 'Cupid' is rock and 'Tropical Moonlight' classified as the blues. The mandatory ode to the nation, 'Happy Nigeria', is labelled as calypso. But these are not dry, scholarly pieces. 'Sensation' reeks of dance floor freakiness not the hallowed halls of academia. And listen to the pitch bend craziness on 'Injere'. Sure, Dr. Ahanotu had studied the rules. But he wasn't afraid to break them. From the freaked-out opening seconds of the title track you are left in no doubt: The doctor is in the house. Mastered and produced by Goddy Oku. - Peter Moore
Aigbe Lebarty
LP (Vinyl)
reissue 1979 Nigerian Funk/Highlife/Afrobeat album: In 1979, long-time Highlife veteran Aigbe Lebarty decided to try his hand at high-energy disco funk. Checking the Lebartone Aces at the door, he borrowed the Sex Bombers from Prince Omo Lawal-Osula and created Unity, a sure-fire dance floor stomper that channels 'Ring My Bell' into a clarion cry for, well, unity ... and a good time. The title track is the undisputed highlight of the album. It rattles along in a wonky, skittish fashion, with the high-pitched toms dueling with the Sex Bombers in a musical game of Space Invaders. 'His Highness Erediauwa 1 Oba Of Benin (Part 1 &2)', sees Aigbe slips back into Highlife like a comfortable pair of slippers.
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1975 Nigerian Funk/Afrobeat album: Akwassa were among the best Afro-Beat bands coming from Nigeria. They released La'ila in 1975 and were one of the early Nigerian Funk bands to get an album out. They were related to the Heads Funk Band and most members were part of both bands. They managed to release two albums as Akwassa. Their debut La'ila came out on a well known Afro-Beat label Afrodisia Records. Akwassa were originally a duo made of Felix Day (guitar and vocals) and Kevin Coburn (organ, synthesizer and vocals). Felix Day is actually Feladey, the guitarist in Aktion (another top notch Nigerian band reissued by PMG). On La'ila the band used a lot of synthesizers and the overall sound is very pleasing. Overall the album has a raw and unpolished sound, but that's what brings that certain spark for being among the very best in the Afro-Beat genre.
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1981 Nigerian Afrobeat/Boogie/Disco album: Grill by Gbubemi Amas is as smooth as the red cardigan artfully slung around his shoulders on the cover. Whether he is running through the scales on a cover version of 'Fire and Rain', or trying on his calypso highlife moves on 'Ereyon', you know Amas is a man with a smooth line for every occasion. He is also a man with impeccable enunciation. Listen to 'Slow Down'. It features one of the most cultured sound checks you will ever hear in your life – "Willy, keep the bass a little bit tighter". That Amas is now a theatre producer and writer in Cardiff in Wales will come as no surprise. 'Slow Down' is a stone cold class, and an undoubted highlight, just as it was on the excellent Comb & Razor compilation, Brand New Wayo. 'Children' is a bright dancefloor filler. So is 'For You'. And 'Listen' showcases Amas's disco ball cassanova moves. Articulate, cultured and classy, Grill is proof that in 80s Nigeria was producing a class of boogie funk that was as sophisticated as anywhere in the world.
Bala Miller & The Great Music Pyrameeds Of Afrika
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1979 Nigerian Afrobeat album: Bala Miller was famous for pushing boundaries. His first job was selling beer in the Muslim north. And as a musician he'd always try to sneak in 'local' flourishes while playing trumpet with Bobby Benson and Victor Olaiya. It was with his band, the Pirameeds, however, that he was able to realise his dream of incorporating northern tunes into mainstream highlife. Honed razor sharp from a residency at the Costain Club in Kuduna, the band recorded Pyramids, a breathtaking fusion of Hausa rhythms, jazz and funk. With its haunting trumpet line, tribal drums and imploring Hausa chants, 'Ikon Allah', the power of God, is Bala Miller vision writ large. 'Yo Gboko' is a New York-style street drama, played out on the dusty streets of Northern Nigeria. 'Opportunity Knocks' is a playful burst of ska and 'Stretch Your Nose' is a raucous James Brown fable about the dangers of lying. Bala Miller went on to become one of Nigeria's best-loved personalities. The Costain Club became a renowned meeting place for northern musicians. But his greatest legacy remain Pyramids, an opus that introduced Hausa rhythms and stories to the rest of Nigeria.
Benis Cletin
Jungle Magic
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1979 Nigerian psychedelic Disco/Boogie/Afrofunk album: Considered an acid boogie classic, Jungle Magic is a cosmic transmission from the early days of Nigerian disco. The bass lines are lethal. The synths are fat and squelchy. And the groove is non-stop and primal. Channeling the jungle gods of funk and introducing them to Donna Summers, the title track, 'Jungle Magic', takes you to a freaky place you didn't know existed but never want to leave. 'Love Forever' brings a Calypso party vibe while 'Fireman' suggests Prince may have been listening to Benis when he wrote 'Alphabet Street'. The album was composed and produced by Benis Cletin. He also played guitar and synthesizer and sang lead vocals. George Achini from the Mighty Flames stars on bass and Mambo Sticks, Nigeria's leading disco drummer, lays down the rock solid grooves. Benis went on to release three more albums, which will be re-issued by PMG soon. Jungle Magic remains the album where he introduced his irresistible brand of psychedelic disco funk to world.
Berkley Jones
Nation Building
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1979 AFrofunk album: Nation Building is a real forgotten gem from the late '70s and is among the very best Afro-Beat Disco Lps ever. Berkely Ike Jones is one of the icons of the Nigerian scene being the guitarist and founder of BLO (forthcoming on PMG). BLO were one of the very best progressive bands from Nigeria and managed to release several albums for EMI (Nigeria) and Afrodisia Records. BLO are definitely a ground-breaking band, that managed to further establish the entire Afro-Funk genre. At the time Ginger Baker of Cream went to travel to Nigeria and invited Berkely Ike Jones to be part of session-band Salt. They went back to UK and toured in Europe. Berkely Ike Jones played with many bands like with Ofege on their Try and Love album and he also appeared on many other great albums by artists like Steve Black, Lijadu Sisters, Tee Mac, Kris Okotie, Sonny Okosuns Ozziddi, 'Blackman' Akeeb Kareem, Mixed Grill, Don Bruce And The Angels and Felix Lebarty. Nation Building is his solo project recorded in the late 1970s on Skylark Records. The original LP is extremely rare and very expensive, so this is your chance to grab your copy and listen to some really great Afro-Beat music.
The Beta Yama Group
Free Love
LP (Vinyl)
reissue of 1980 Nigerian psychedelic/cosmic Afrofunk album: It's hard to get a handle on Nigerian musicians Nash Dodoo, Charlie Cuul and Jonas Caulley. In 1980 they released an album of face-melting gospel boogie as the BML chapels. And in the same year, calling themselves the Beta Yama Group, they put out Free Love, a belated love letter to San Francisco's Summer of Love and an album altogether focused on more worldly concerns. Free Love is a small slice of Haight-Ashbury transported to the Polygram Studios in Lagos. 'Te Revoir' is Mamas and Papas jamming with Sergeant Pepper's Beatles. 'Free Love' offers a respectful nod towards Je T'aime-era Serge Gainsbourg. Sure, 'Revolution' gets hard and funky and 'Rain' flirts briefly with a calypso reggae sound, but the majority of the album is cheesecloth and flowers in your hair. Insanely rare – and worth buying for the freaky cover art alone – Free Love is a funky, reverb heavy call for love, peace and sweet, sweet loving. What more could you want from an album?

Information can only be transmitted from a presynaptic to a postsynaptic nerve ending, ensuring that the signal only goes one way. This is because neurotransmitters are only created in the presynaptic neuron, and can only be received by receptors in the postsynaptic neuron.
For any electrical current to be transmitted in the body, it must cross the synaptic gap or cleft between two neurons. Neurotransmitters are built up in the presynaptic neuron, and when they are stimulated by an electrical impulse, vesicles containing these neurotransmitters are released across the cleft. When these reach the other side of synapse they bind with the receptor site on the postsynaptic nerve. This alters the postsynaptic cell's level of excitement and can make it either more or less likely to reach an action potential. To reach this potential, a certain threshold of excitement must be present, and if this is obtained then the signal will carry on.
The human body uses a range of different neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors, which have different functions. Synapses are an important part of the electrical system in the body for several reasons. They create a filtering system for background stimuli that would otherwise overwhelm the system, they allow dispersion of the impulse down different paths, they allow grading of the signal, and they also ensure the signal travels in one direction only.

Lip fillers are fairly controversial when it comes to the beauty world. Ever since the whole big lip trend came around it's become a lot more known to the world which has lead to a lot of mixed views. I personally have always believed that if a person wants to alter something on their body and it doesn't harm them then go for it, understandably everybody has a different opinion but that's always been my way of seeing it. A few months ago I took the plunge and got lip fillers myself and today I thought I'd share my honest opinion on my experience for anyone considering it, or just for anybody that wants to know more about it.
When it comes to my lips, my top lip has always been an issue for me. Coming from a family with practically non existent top lips meant that fillers become something I've considered for many years. I know it sounds like something so minor but my top lip has always been the part of my face I disliked the most, and I spent years over drawing them trying to look like I actually have lips. I must admit it did become more of an issue for me when I began blogging and sharing makeup pictures on Instagram as I was constantly looking at my own face, so I thought why the bloody hell not and booked myself in for a consultation.
The consultation went well, I explained all about my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome as I wasn't sure if it would have any effect on the results but it was fine. For anybody wondering, I went to the Grove Clinic which is very local to where I live and I saw the lovely Dr Beata Goldin, she put me so at ease and showed me before and after pictures from previous clients as well as giving me loads of details and I just felt so comfortable in the clinic, it was professional and I felt safe leaving my lips in her hands so I booked in for a few weeks time.
So the day finally came around and I was so SO nervous. I absolutely hate needles so having them in my face wasn't exactly ideal, on my way there I was sat thinking "why the hell am I paying all this money for needles in my lip?" but I calmed myself down with my mum there for support. I went into the room and the numbing cream was applied and left on for a while to really work, then it was time for the needles. I couldn't believe it, I was waiting for a sharp pain but I didn't feel a thing, not at all throughout the whole thing! I was so relieved. I had 1ml of Juvederm in just my top lip but I can't remember what type, she did say it was a longer lasting version and I paid £280. After about 20 minutes in the chair I was ready to go.
When I got home the first few hours were pain free from the numbing cream, but as that wore off I began to feel a slight ache but it was nothing too bad, I also started to swell as well which was expected. About 8 hours after having it done the ache became more of a pain but it was manageable with ice and pain killers, I wouldn't say it was really painful it just felt really uncomfortable. By the evening I was looking more duck than human so I headed to bed expecting to wake up feeling and looking better the following morning.
Oh my god, I was not ready for the reaction I had looking in the mirror the following morning. Have you ever seen that episode of the Kardashians were Kris is on holiday and her top lip was really swollen (Google it!!), well that was me! My family had a real surprise when I walked down the stairs that morning, we all ended up laughing our heads off because I really did look stupid. As for pain, it was worse than the day before, eating was a bit of a task and I had to drink with a straw. I kept ice on it and when I went out I felt like an absolute idiot with my swollen top lip, but that evening both the pain and swelling started to go down.
|After (lipstick is Urban Decay Backtalk)
For the next couple of days I would get a dull ache when I smiled or opened my mouth too wide but the swelling went down more and more everyday. On day 6 the swelling got a bit bigger but that evening it went back down. I didn't have any bruising which I was so surprised about, I bruise so easy so I was waiting for it. By day 8 the pain had pretty much gone and the swelling too, I could see how my lips now looked and I was so over the moon with the results. I felt more confident wearing lipstick and I just felt so much better, I didn't realise how much it really would boost my confidence.
I had my lips done back in June so it's been a few months now, they're still looking great and I'm still so glad I got them done. I have noticed it's starting to fade slightly in the outer corner of my lips, but when I say it to anyone they assure me it's not and they're still the same size so I think it's just me getting used to the size. As for getting them done again, I'm already saving! When I had them done I said I wanted to still stay natural, and whilst I still do want natural I would like them a bit bigger. I can't wait to get them done again and it's money I'll happily hand over for the the confidence it gives me.
If you're considering it then I'd say absolutely go for it as long as you find the right professional to do it. Whilst there is a few days of aching afterwards it's not too bad, but be ready for the fact you might have swelling. Hopefully this post is helpful to somebody out there as I spent a good few months reading other peoples experiences before booking. It's something I'm willing to keep up with now once it starts to fade... it won't be long till the wrinkles kick in and I'll be there for botox too! Oh god the addiction is real.

Glen Moray Peated Spirit
20cl / 60.6%
Batch #1
- Distillery Bottling
Glen Moray Peated Spirit Reviews
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes by Rocky
Nose: A whack of peat – iodine more than TCP.
Palate: Warming, with the youthful peat balanced by sweetness and orange notes.
Finish: Warming, with the fruitiness slowly dissipating to leave warming iodine notes.
Comment: Rather rough around the edges, but it is very young, so this can be overlooked. A real insight into what the distillery is capable of producing in terms of peated whisky, and shows excellent potential.
Tasting notes by Billy A
Nose: Smoked ham, cocoa powder, a medicinal edge, damp peat, sugary sweetness, limestone and swimming pools.
Palate: Big mineral note and a burst of red fruit up front followed by liqueur chocolates, coffee grounds, medicinal peat and lots of heat. Water calms down the burn, turns up the chocolate and adds more fruit, while revealing some young spirit graininess.
Finish: Chocolate cake and coal fires, glace cherries and a hint of chlorine.
Comment: At an (estimated) 2 years old this is impressive - lots of flavour, great chocolatey notes and good on its own as well as an indication of future releases.

Chinese PC maker Lenovo posts 23% jump in profit
The world's biggest maker of personal computers, Lenovo, has seen a 23% jump in net profit as laptop sales outperformed industry average.
For the three months to June, net profit rose to $214m (£128m). Revenue in the same quarter jumped 18% from the previous year to $10.4bn.
Lenovo's core business lies in personal computers and accounts for 49% of total revenue in the quarter to June.
Laptop sales rose 12% in that period, when the industry was in a downturn.
Lenovo said the PC industry saw a 3.7% decline in laptop shipments for the three months to June, when compared to the same period last year.
The latest figures indicate Lenovo has maintained its status as market leader for PCs, with a higher global market share of nearly 20% when compared to last year.
In a statement which accompanied the earnings release, Lenovo Chairman Yuanqing said: "This has been a quarter of milestones for Lenovo - record PC share, a number three ranking in worldwide tablets for the first time and an even stronger number four global smartphone position."
Mobile division
Lenovo has been making moves to diversify away from the shrinking global PC market. Its "Mobile Device Business" includes smartphones and tablets.
For the first time ever, the company said it had sold more smartphones than PCs, with a record volume of 15.8 million units. That is a 39% gain from the previous year.
Mr Yang also said: "As the PC industry recovers, the smartphone market continues its shift from premium to mainstream, and our acquisitions of Motorola Mobility and IBM x86 proceed toward completion, we see even more opportunity to keep growing rapidly.
"Lenovo continues to outperform the market and meet our commitments to improve profitability in our core businesses, while building strong pillars for future growth across our entire portfolio."
The company has been on an acquisition spree. Earlier this year it struck a deal to acquire IBM's low-end server unit.
Lenovo is also in the process of acquiring Motorola's handset business from Google.
Both deals are awaiting regulatory approval, which analysts say could come as early as the third quarter of this year.
Revenue breakdown by geography
April to June (year-on-year)
- Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) up 49% to $2.8bn
- China up 2% to $3.8bn
- Asia Pacific up 2% to $1.6bn
- Americas up 19% to $2.2bn

Mikkelson Mathematics and Science Teachers Scholarship
The purpose of The Mikkelson Mathematics and Science Teachers Scholarship Fund is to encourage and support excellence in the teaching of mathematics and science. An extremely important element for improving the level of science and mathematics competence is to generate, in students, the desire to learn and understand how things work. Increased interest in mathematics and science can be encouraged by knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers who can make the subject matter relevant and understandable.
The Mikkelson Mathematics and Science Teachers Scholarship Fund's interest is in preparing students for success in fields that require a strong understanding of and competence in advanced mathematics and science. The fund's focus is to identify individuals who are deeply committed to teaching and provide them with opportunities to renew or advance their enthusiasm, skills, and knowledge. The fund provides scholarships for teachers to choose and attend programs which will improve their depth of knowledge of the subject(s) they teach and/or enhance their teaching skills and effectiveness. Programs intended to increase a teacher's knowledge of a subject area must include significant math and/or science content which can be applied directly to classroom instruction. These programs generally occur in the summer, but requests from teachers who would like to attend programs that occur at other times of the year are also considered.
Applications are accepted from individuals only. Each applicant must submit his or her own application. Applications requesting support for more than one person will not be considered.
Scholarship funds are not intended for use toward courses that are part of a degree program or required to attain or maintain certification.
- Elementary, middle, and high school teachers currently employed full-time in a Colorado school
Ideal applicants are either:
- Strong, experienced teachers who need or want a deeper background in a subject they teach, or will soon be teaching to attend courses, seminars, and workshops which will enhance a teacher's knowledge of scientific and/or mathematical subject areas.
- Individuals who have a strong background in math or science but limited teaching experience (e.g. an engineer or biologist who has completed an alternative licensing program) who need or want additional expertise related to how to better engage students or teach a subject to attend courses, seminars, and workshops which will improve a teacher's ability to teach science and/or mathematics.
Applications are evaluated on their likelihood to support the Mikkelson Mathematics and Science Teachers Scholarship Fund's goals and to provide the applicant with knowledge and skills which can be used to improve their teaching abilities. The main evaluation focus is on the possibility for improvement of a teacher's knowledge and/or hands-on learning experiences in science and mathematics. The applicant's experience level, plan for using what is learned in the classroom, and the quality of the program in which he or she would like to participate will also be considered. Funding is awarded on a competitive basis. Previous recipients are welcome to apply for a new grant, but preference will be given to strong applicants who have not previously received a grant.
Selected recipients may be funded in full or partially funded. Recipients will be required to provide receipts, among other reporting.
Awards may be used towards:
- Courses, seminars, and workshops which will enhance a teacher's knowledge of scientific and/or mathematical subject areas.
- Courses, seminars, and workshops which will improve a teacher's ability to teach science and/or mathematics.
Early Decision:
If you would like your application to be considered for early decision, please submit your application by January 18, 2019. Notifications for early decision considerations will be sent by the week of February 18, 2019.

You can use your own provider but this solution is designed to deliver everything a business needs to get up and running in minutes rather than days. Hardware setup is simple: we connected the Icon camera and Phone HD unit together using the 9 metre proprietary link cable. The Phone HD has an Ethernet port supporting PoE, but it isn't needed in this scenario as the camera powers it over the cable.

Summer is almost here, and for many, this will be a time for relaxation and vacations. But did you know that students can lose two months or more of achievement gains made during the school year if they stop reading over the summer? This loss is especially true for struggling readers and children from low-income families. The phenomenon is called summer learning loss, or summer slide. Not only can your child fall behind an average of two months in reading, but the learning loss is cumulative, summer after summer. It has also been shown to have a tremendous impact on students' success, including high school completion, post-secondary education and workforce preparedness (Smink, Jeff. "This is Your Brain on Summer." New York Times 27 July 2011: A29. Google News Web. 6 May 2018).
Summer can still be relaxing, but taking an active approach to prevent summer learning loss will set your child up for success in the upcoming school year! Following are the top three activities to prevent the summer slide at Scholastic.com:
Six books to summer success: Research shows that reading just six books during the summer may keep a struggling reader from regressing. When choosing the six, be sure that they are just right — not too hard and not too easy. If your child misses more than 5 words on a page, the book is too hard.
Read something every day: Encourage your child to take advantage of every opportunity to read. Find them throughout the day:
Keep reading aloud: Reading aloud benefits all children and teens, especially those who struggle. One benefit is that you can read books your child can't, so he/she will build listening comprehension skills with grade-level and above books. This will increase his knowledge and expand his experience with text so that he will do better when reading on his own.
We have also put together a Tips and Free Resources Guide to help parents prevent summer reading loss for their children. We've included links to summer reading lists, reward programs, and literacy activities; fun and engaging educational things to do around Houston with your children, including summer camps; and parent education resources. To view or download a printable version of this guide, please click HERE.
Don't let your kids fall behind over the break! There are so many ways to incorporate reading while still having a fun-filled summer.

"Psychoanalytic training became a symptom from which a lot of people never recovered." This comment by Adam Phillips spoke to the compliance that was increasingly required, even demanded, by the followers of Sigmund Freud that took charge of organizing a 'formal training' in psychoanalysis. This compliance, thought to instill 'conviction,' worked very well to stifle creativity or originality. As Phillips further points out, the field of psychoanalysis – and its training programs - began then, and has now, splintered into numerous paths, all of which follow different – some very different - from what was envisioned by these early adherents to the movement. These comments may capture what may be a thread woven within Annie Tardits' book: The Trainings of the Psychoanalyst. (This thread is undoubtedly also reflected in her use of "trainings," rather than the singular).
Tardits draws a meticulously detailed history of the thoughts, ideas, and fantasies of what the early psychoanalytic thinkers desired as constituting training in psychoanalysis. She offers a detailed picture of the conversations and the controversy among the followers - the people that were left by Freud to grapple with the questions about training. Freud continued work on his 'problem child' – psychoanalysis. Lou Andreas-Salome played an important role early on, and in her correspondence with Freud, wanted others to consider what 'informed desire' about training might entail. Andreas-Salome wanted to "...show what an analytic training could be before it became institutionalized." She reminded others that Freud's theory was not a rigidly fixed theory, but one that changed as his experience in practicing psychoanalysis grew, with Freud demonstrating what might be seen as a researcher's model. Freud's position allowed more emphasis on 'not knowing,' contrasting this with the 'mastery of knowledge.'
The open question about training remained an elusive one – what is to be included in a training for analysts 'to be'? Tardits points to Freud's persistent difficulty in suggesting what a 'definitive training' would include, and his consequent worry that the wranglings of his followers, and their obsession with formulating rules would, "...block the way to intellectual freedom," and to "the impartial desire to know." The war temporarily interrupted the conversations in psychoanalysis, with all the difficulties and dilemmas being further spread out, but regaining momentum in several different camps.
The core of the training, according to Freud, was to be one's personal analysis. He also introduced the notion that a training would rest on the candidates grasping "...what can be taught about the theory of the unconscious," the acquisition of interpretative ability, and the 'fight against resistance.' The understanding of what to do with the transference was crucial. Further, Freud's 'fantasical' idea was voiced, an idea not taken terribly seriously by many of his followers. His idea was that if a college was designed for psychoanalysis, the teaching would include depth psychology, an introduction to biology, clinical work, the science of sexuality, and the historical knowledge about civilization, mythology, religion, and literature. (Tardits, p.42)
Annie Tardits then introduces Lacan in her exploration of analytic training – explicating his views as they developed historically in the ongoing discussions. It is noteworthy that a reader of this text will need a fairly good grasp of Lacan's perspective on psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theory, i.e., Lacan's reading of Freud and the former's work being grounded in intellectual and philosophical roots not altogether familiar to all audiences. Tardits positions Lacan well with respect to his very substantive views on the training of the analyst, as well as his historical place in the difficult negotiations. However, Lacan's perspective may be difficult to understand for those that have received rather orthodox or a 'typical' analytic education – an education or training outside of the Lacanian school. Nevertheless, Tardits is able to position Lacan well in relation to the purpose of her text, and many readers will enjoy the questions that emerge as a result.
In my reading of this text – and struggling to understand Lacan's views with respect to psychoanalysis - I was drawn back to the philosophical works of Susanne Langer. For her purposes, Langer articulated the notion of generative ideas, and she spoke of the terms in which theories – and the questions raised – are conceived and give rise to new or specific questions. To quote Langer: "The limits of thought are not so much set from outside, by the fullness or poverty of experiences that meet the mind, as from within, by the power of conception, the wealth of formulative notions with which the mind meets experiences. Most new discoveries are suddenly-seen things that were always there. A new idea is a light that illuminates presences which simply had no form for us before the light fell on them. We turn the light here, there, and everywhere, and the limits of thought recede before it."
Lacan's perspective on the question of 'training' for psychoanalytic work, and his theoretical and clinical contributions to our understanding of psychoanalysis, are generative in their raising of significant and important questions – many of which provide the light that we need to continue illuminating our path to further psychoanalytic thought – through research and clinical endeavors. According to Tardits, Lacan wanted to avoid the 'disintellectualization' that may result from 'pre-digested knowledge,' that is, within what many consider to be the foundations of psychoanalysis. The Trainings of the Psychoanalyst will certainly be of interest to all those that have questioned the foundational bases for psychoanalytic training, and the limits posed by its current structure.

Our High Quality Therapeutic Lavandula Angustifolia also known as "True Lavender" is sourced directly from French growers and is 100% Pure and undiluted!
Lavender essential oil is used for multiple ailments including: stress relief, migraines, nausea, menstrual cramps, hay fever, bumps and bruises, eczema, and soothing your little ones.
Lavender oil is recommended by aromatherapists to promote sleep, relax in a hot bath, ease muscle tension, freshen clothes, and making spaces smell fresh through the use of diffusers or burners.
You deserve a natural, steam distilled essential oil to fit your everyday needs. Zänder provdes this in our French Lavender Essential Oil. Make the decision to increase the wellness of your family.
Zänder Essential Oils harness natural healing power.
We know that our customers care about their families and want to provide what's best for them.
This is why Zänder has strict standards in place to ensure that we always provide high quality
oils that improve health without harmful fillers or blending that larger distilleries use to lower prices.
Our Therapeutic Grade Lavender Oil, purified through steam distillation, allows you to experience the full effects of natural lavender.
The scent of lavender oil is known to ease mental tension, lift moods, and even ease anxiety. Simply breathing a couple drops rubbed between your hands is known to promote restfulness.
Diffuse lavender oil in bedrooms to ease children and adults alike into a deep and restful slumber.
Adding a few drops of our Lavender oil to a hot bath can transform an everyday bath into your own personal home spa.
Apply a drop to the back of your neck and chest to soothe irritated sinuses and to relieve seasonal allergies.*
For the artisan, Lavender oil can be used in bath salts, scrubs, and soaps that make great gifts.
Burning Lavender Oil has been used to enhance spiritual and meditative experiences.
*Due to its potency, Lavender oil applied to the skin directly may irritate sensitive skin. Try adding it to a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil to dilute. These fusions can also be used as relaxing massage oils.
Consumption of this oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA, however, ingestion is not recommended without the direction of a licensed health practitioner.
I recently got a automatic essential oil diffuser, so I have been trying out all sorts of essential oil scents with it. I have used the Zander's Unlimited Lavender Essential Oil a lot the past week. I like to use it in my bathroom and in my bedroom. In both rooms, it makes them smell so beautiful. Plus lavender is known to help calm, soothe, relax and help promote sleep. In addition to using it in my automatic diffuser, I have also used it with diffuser reeds in my kitchen. The lavender scent keeps my home smelling wonderful! When I use this, I tend to only use about 1 or 2 drops because it is so potent. However you can adjust that depending on your personal preference to fragrance.
I am really enjoying the lavender essential oil. There are so many uses around the house to use essential oils, I am just beginning to explore them all! Beautiful scent, highly recommend!

7 Organizational Hacks You Haven't Heard Of Yet
Life is a giant, fuzzy mess sometimes, and we get that, which is why we're all about the organizational hacks. Organization is hard, and it seems like our rooms (and our lives) are always an outrageous mess. But taking the time to get your act together can go a long way, and we're here to tell you it doesn't have to be hard. Look. We've all seen them. We've seen all the cutely labeled mason jars on Pinterest and the organization hack listicle all over our newsfeeds. We're not here to waste your time, and we don't want to repeat things you've already heard, so here are 7 organization hacks you probably haven't heard of yet to get things in order.
Desk Supplies in a Silverware Organizer
Pretty simple, right? Save yourself from having to reach all the way into the back of your desk drawer to find a pen and stick it in one of the long silverware sections of a drawer organizer. Use some of the smaller sections to store the little things like paperclips and thumb tacks.
Magazine Holder to Organize Kitchen Supplies
Ever fumble around trying to get at your saran wrap (or was it tin foil, or parchment paper?) These kitchen supplies are always falling down when we stack them up, and can really cause a cooking issue. Pick up a plastic magazine holder to store these boxes upright -- they'll be way easier to access.
Nail Polish to Paint Your Keys
Between house keys, car keys, apartment keys, and office keys, our keychains are a hot dang mess. Paint the top of each one a different color with nail polish and you'll (maybe) never get confused again.
Toilet Paper Rolls to Organize Cords
Between your cell phone, lap top, room fan, curling wand, and about nine hundred million other cords around your room. Wind them all up and hold them together with old toilet paper rolls. You can even decorate them with paint or washi tape to make them fit your dorm room vibe.
Tension Rod to Hold Up Bottles of Cleaner
We know in a dorm room or a first apartment there's only so much room for you to store your stuff. Save space in your cabinets by installing a cheap tension rod and hanging your squirt bottles filled with cleaner from them.
Dish Rack to Hold Your File Folders
Who said these things had to start and end with your dishes? Sticking your file folders into a dish rack the way you would plates keeps all of your work right at hand and really well organized. Bonus points for putting your pens and pencils in the little cubby meant for silverware.
Shoe Organizer for Your Cleaning Supplies
Tension rod method not your jam? No worries, because we have another fix for storing your cleaning supplies. Buy one of those door-hanging shoe organizers (the ones with the plastic slits for your shoes that definitely don't work with your winter boot wardrobe) and hang it from the inside of a closet door. Stick your supplies in there at your leisure! This method could also work well for gloves, mittens, and other little things you need a place for.

GC01P001078 is an RNA Gene, and is affiliated with the tRNA class.
fRNAdb sequence ontologies for GC01P001078 Gene
tRNA: Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are approximately 80 nucleotides in length. Their secondary structure includes four short double-helical elements and three loops (D, anti-codon, and T loops). Further hydrogen bonds mediate the characteristic L-shaped molecular structure. tRNAs have two regions of fundamental functional importance: the anti-codon, which is responsible for specific mRNA codon recognition, and the 3' end, to which the tRNAs corresponding amino acid is attached (by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases). tRNAs cope with the degeneracy of the genetic code in two manners: having more than one tRNA (with a specific anti-codon) for a particular amino acid; and 'wobble' base-pairing, i.e. permitting non-standard base-pairing at the 3rd anti-codon position.

I am a high school senior in Utah, and I engineered a passive hand sanitation device to be used in areas without formal water infrastructure (disaster zones, developing countries, dry cabins).
I became passionate about hand sanitation in areas without formal water infrastructure after I read Behind the Beautiful Forevers, realizing the impact of hand sanitation on world health. I also became more aware of the water my family wasted at our dry cabin (without any running water) trying to wash our hands and dishes with a traditional five gallon spigot. I decided to engineer an inexpensive device which would (1) conserve 50% of water compared to traditional faucets, (2) could be refilled and reused, (3) fabricated to fit into a 2 liter bottle (water source), (4) made of non-corrosive materials, (5) dispense water on command, and (6) shut water flow off on command. I succeeded in my goal to create a passive hand sanitation device which can be fitted into a 2 liter bottle, placing third internationally at I-SWEEEP (International Sustainable World Energy Engineering Environment Project) Olympiad.
However, this technology is useless unless it can be used to help improve human lives. Inspired by openwheelchair.org, I have decided to make the designs to my final prototype public to be used (1) by individuals who live dry cabins to conserve water, (2) by organizations who travel to disaster zones to insure hand sanitation, (3) by organizations which serve less developed countries to educate about the importance of hand sanitation, (4) by individuals who are creating 72 hour kits to protect against dysentery, or by anyone who sees a need that this device fills.
I am continuing my project and will update this site regularly to insure the best product possible, Engineering Journal will take you to my engineering journal if you are curious about the design process I went through to create RainCloud. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with further questions, with examples of how you used RainCloud, or with any other comments
Let's engineer a better world,

Newsom explained his reasoning for this plan by saying: "This city asset (the medallions) has been underutilized" and the cab drivers have "... underperformed."
He also wants to make a "gigantic, order-of-magnitude change" in the way things are done. He apparently plans to start with the Democratic Party. You know the party of: the Fair Deal, the New Deal, the Party of Labor, the Party of the People.
To heck with Obama, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and all the Kennedys. Gav is harking back to an more ancient tradition - one where rulers use their lower classes as "assets" to balance their budgets.
- Czar Peter the Great of Russia used the forced labor of serfs to build the city of St. Petersburg. He also thought his peasants "underperformed" so he worked over one million of them to death.
- The Maharajahs of India took a high percentage of their peasants' crops to fill their own coffers.
- This practice was taken up by the British to pay their governmental expenses when they ruled India. Mahatma Ghandi grew to fame by fighting against such excessive taxes.
- King Louis XIV of France, the Sun King, and his minister Jean Baptiste Colbert used corvee (free) labor to balance a budget depleted a lack of taxation on the nobility and his own extravagances. This practice ultimately led to the French Revolution.
All of which leads us to the question: Should Gavin Newsom be running for governor on a Democratic ticket or a Royalist one?
