A quaint little library established in 1939. Set in the delightful village of Freshwater, Isle of wight, this library has seen many changes in it's time, not least the new wheelchair ramp laid in place in 1995 due to new government legislation. A controversial move indeed. To rub salt into the wound, two disabled parking spaces were placed outside in spring 1998 (Isle of Wight council). Lois Cooper, Beverley Sixsmith and Jill Chesser were the original founders, Lois being the only sirviving members. Lucy Keene a former employee commeneted on the late Ms Sixsmith: "An admirable woman. A sufragette to the end." Realsiing the need to move with the times in 1993, the library implemented a late night closing on Tuesday evenings, remainin open until 18:00 instead of the usual hour of 17:30. Although this incited industrial action from the current staff, Lois failed to backdown from this radical new policy.

Patangay is a Marathi surname which originated India. This surname is a part of a community called Bhavsar kshatriya.
Bhavsar Kshatriya Samaj, is a community of Kshatriyas (warriors).
According to the epics the legendary Parshuram, who was said to be an Avatar of Lord Vishnu, had vowed a vengeance against a community of warriors, where in the war he had wiped most of the warriors, off the earth. This scenario had worried two young princes Bhavsingh and Sarsingh from Saurashtra who had foreseen their dynasty ending.
As the mythological period died, there was a certain period of civilization wherein there was cultural and economic stability in ancient India.
In the meantime apart from being at the royal service, a few members from the community started developing skills in stitching and dyeing clothes. These skills enabled them to grow as professional artisans and in turn Royal Tailors & Dress Designers. These artisans had to travel a lot as their skills were well known throughout the nation. That was how they settled down across the country adapting to the culture of the area where they settled down, yet maintaining their own. They could flourish just because they could adapt to any kind of situation and adopt the profession that was the need of time.
So as the sub community “Patangay” also survived by adapting these skills, Patangay community is also famously know as Ranreez.
The term Gotra is used in this context. Gotra is applied to an ancestor or an originator through whom a particular family, rather a race of humans originated.
According to the Hindu Ancestry there are in all eight Rishis who were the originators of their Clan. They were as follows:
1.Agasthi
2.Atri
3.Bharadwaj
4.Gotam
5.Jamadaagni
6.Kashyap
7.Vashistha
8.Vishwamitra
Similarly the family Patangay, was started by the Rishi Atri.

Mendo Mulcher is a brand of herb grinder manufactured in Mendocino County, California. The design itself was based on previous four stage herbal grinders with a micron screen and pollen catcher. Previously herbal grinders used wooden and metal pegs for shredding herbs, coffee, and pills. With advanced CNC manufacturing techniques, it is easy to accurately calculate the precise cuts. Each tooth of the grinder is made to slice on both sides and has curved sides to reduce the buildup of resin and pollens, which fall through the micron screen to collect on the last plate. Mendos are a favorite among cannabis smokers, as they easily collect potent THC crystals or "kief". It is fitting, as Mendocino County is the first county in the United States to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of cannabis by passing Measure G.
