"We are only more optimistic for the summer"
Despite a spate of European festival cancellations already this summer, a number of other European festival organisers have now spoken about their hopes of going ahead with their events this year and what safety measures might be involved.
After festival season was essentially wiped out last summer due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is hoped that full-capacity gigs can return in around five months' time as the global vaccination program gathers pace.
While Boris Johnson unveiled the UK Government's "roadmap" out of lockdown last month – meaning that the easing of COVID restrictions could see a return to large or even full-capacity live events from June 21 in the UK – the picture differs from country to country across the continent.
Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival was recently cancelled, disappointing many music fans who were hoping to see the likes of The Strokes and FKA Twigs at the start of June. However, Madrid's acclaimed Mad Cool Festival is still set for July. Organisers have said that they were "excited about the festival and currently waiting for the authorities to give an update regarding the next few months", but were "definitely in a better mood than last year".
"Our announced line-up, which is still missing two headliners and 11 more bands, for us is one of the most interesting ones since we started the festival," Mad Cool booker Cindy Castillo told NME. "We are craving it! Also, the UK government's decision gives us hope for the rest of the countries and festivals."
Castillo explained how, like the rest of the world, Spain's situation depends on the vaccination progress – which is currently quite slow – but she expects it will "move much quicker" from March or else "festivals will be hard to organise".
"Vaccination passports can be a tool to accelerate the flow of the audience, but what we really need is the vaccination process to speed up so we can achieve normality as soon as possible," she said. "We have already organised a plan for testing to happen in case we need to activate such a measure, but we all need festivals to happen so I'm sure we will all utilise everything possible to be able to move forward."
With a stellar line-up that currently includes the likes of The Killers, Foals, Cardi B, Phoebe Bridgers, Kings Of Leon, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deftones, Haim and Zara Larsson, Castillo said that Mad Cool were "currently working with agencies on all possible scenarios for this year" for how COVID might impact on the bill. "I would say the whole industry is collaborating more than ever to try and make it work the best way, to achieve our plans," she added. "We need live music to come back to our lives, to everyone's lives."

Dusan Kovacevic is CEO of EXIT Festival in Serbia, which is hoping to welcome the likes of Metronomy, David Guetta and Tyga to their 20th anniversary celebrations in July.
"We are optimistic because, along with the UK, Serbia is leading in mass vaccination," Kovacevic told NME. "Our health experts say that 50 to 60 per cent of people overall have already had the disease and are immune. By spring with vaccination, we will have herd immunity. We see no reasons why there would be a ban for events. After Boris Johnson's announcement in the UK, we are only more optimistic for the summer."
After holding a successful socially distanced but small-scale event last year, Kovacevic said that EXIT were ready to return at full-scale this summer with whatever regulations were required – but echoed that shows being cancelled in other countries could impact on the line-up of festivals throughout the continent. "There is no issue with someone from the US travelling to Europe, but they will only do so if they have enough shows to have a tour," he said. "This will depend on how many countries will have reached herd immunity by the summer. So far, UK and Serbia are looking good. We'll see about other countries.
"When it comes to DJs and electronic music, this will be a lot easier to achieve than with bands. I also think that hip-hop acts will be more keen to travel than some A-class rock'n'roll bands."
Elsewhere in Europe, Denmark's Roskilde Festival have said that they are "cautiously optimistic" due to vaccine roll-outs, but told SoundVenue that "20-25 per cent" of their line-up will drop out soon without firm government answers and a clearer vision of what's to come. "There has also been a good push in some of the digital and supportive solutions that are needed if we are to be able to make a festival this summer: for example the corona pass," they said.
Belgium's Rock Werchter are also cautiously continuing, having said that they should be expecting government guidance from mid-March and telling fans: "Say yes to the vaccine when it's made available to you. Better times are coming. We will make memories again". The neighbouring Netherlands was one of the first European countries to set a return date for events, with festivals due back from July 1 as well as receiving government-backed insurance should they have to cancel.
Lowlands Festival director Eric Van Eerdenburg welcomed the roll-out of the vaccine bringing about some normality and freedom, but said "as long as there are restrictions then there will be a need for testing and maybe vaccination passports".
"It's not something that we'll push upon the people, but if the government says we have to then we will," he told NME. "We won't make it up ourselves because it's a hell of a lot of work. It's a government that should impose that upon the people."
Echoing that it will be "shaky" for American acts to appear at European festivals if large parts of their tours are cancelled, he said he was hopeful of a good event made up of domestic acts and artists from central Europe.
"I think the urge with the audiences is so big that we must do whatever we can to get a good line-up," he said. "There's almost a responsibility for the artists to go out this summer because people need music. If they don't tour then we'll make the best of it and go on with a line-up that's not as strong, but people will accept it because the urge to meet each other, dance and have a good time is bigger than being critical about the line-up. It's about the social gathering."

Dr. Michael Head is a Senior Research Fellow in Global Health at the University of Southampton. While telling NME that he was feeling optimistic for the summer, he also warned that people should "be careful that we're prepared for any new COVID variants that might impact on the vaccine" – and that despite the vaccine and testing many will still be vulnerable.
On the matter of how line-ups might be affected across the globe, Dr. Head said that we currently can't be certain what the rules will be for quarantining for overseas travel when the summer rolls around and that "those policies might change in the last minute". For fans travelling to another country to attend a foreign festival, Dr. Head warned of the possibility of needing to quarantine on arrival or perhaps even testing positive on arrival and being denied entry.
"You need to consider whether all of these possibilities are worth it for what you're going to do when you get there," he said.
The coming weeks and months will see more test events happening throughout Europe, after Primavera Sound festival's recent trial for the return of gigs with no social distancing but same-day antigen testing in place found no infection rate.

Israeli company files international arbitration against Uzbekistan
Business 28 January 2010 13:27 (UTC+04:00)
Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Jan. 28 / Trend D.Azizov /
The Israeli Metal-Tech Ltd., a metal-based hydrometallurgy and chemical company, filed for arbitration against Uzbekistan, related to the country's unlawful treatment of Metal-Tech's 50 percent investment in Uzmetal Technology, a joint venture (JV) to produce high-quality molybdenum products, the company reported.
The request for arbitration, filed with the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) based in Washington, D.C., asserts Uzbekistan's breach of the Israel-Uzbekistan Bilateral Investment Treaty, as well as violations of various standards of treatment under international law and Uzbek legislation.
"It is unfortunate that we have not been able to resolve this dispute amicably with the
Uzbekistan government," Metal-Tech's Business Development and General Counsel Vice President Maayan Bar said. "Resorting to international arbitration will allow us to pursue our claims on an impartial forum."
The JV was founded in 2000 by the Israeli Metek Metall Technology (50 percent), Almalik MMC (30 percent) and Uzbek Refractory and Heat-resistant Metals Plant (UzKTZhM) (20 percent) with a statutory fund of $1 million.
In 2002, under the JV, the Israeli company has upgraded molybdenum production in Uzbekistan worth $19.39 million. Based on the project, the company launched the set of primary constructed facilities for molybdenum production (molybdenum trioxide) with a capacity of 600 tons per year at the UzKTZhM.
Simultaneously, the company established a workshop for producing molybdenum products. Prior to this final product molybdenum production at the AMMC was the molybdenum concentrate, which was delivered for further processing to UzKTZhM.
In accordance with the business plan, annual production of molybdenum should have reached about 350 tons by late 2006. It is also expected to send 240 tons for export, as well as 250 tons of molybdenum products.
Metal Tech is seeking repercussions because Uzbekistan breached its obligations by denying Uzmetal Technology necessary inputs of molybdenum concentrate in mid-2006, thereby forcing the joint venture to become idle for lack of raw materials to process.
The damage to Metal-Tech was exacerbated when Uzbekistan and its state-owned companies, which owned the other 50 percent of Uzmetal Technology, later forced the joint venture into bankruptcy and eventual liquidation.
In December 2007, the property complex of the joint venture was put up for auction starting price of $10 million, but then the assets were withdrawn from the auction due to lack of buyers.
It is the first time when the foreign investor appeals to the international arbitration with a claim against Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan has not yet commented on the issue.

Q: Ionic framework don't save token I have a problem with Ionic framework. I follow the guide to receive and send push notification, but something doesn't work.
When I launch the app, I press button Identify, and show my an alert that say the user ID. After, I press on register button, the phone show me an alert that contains the Device token(ANDROID). But when I go to ionic.io, in the dashboard of my app, the device token there isn't.
If I don't have the token saved on my dashboard, I can't send push notification.
Anyone can help me?
This is my controller.js:
angular.module('starter.controllers', [])

.controller('DashCtrl', function($scope, $rootScope, $ionicUser, $ionicPush) {

 // Identifies a user with the Ionic User service
  $scope.identifyUser = function() {
    console.log('Ionic User: Identifying with Ionic User service');

    var user = $ionicUser.get();
    if(!user.user_id) {
      // Set your user_id here, or generate a random one.
      user.user_id = $ionicUser.generateGUID();
    };

    // Add some metadata to your user object.
    angular.extend(user, {
      name: 'Ionitron',
      bio: 'I come from planet Ion'
    });

    // Identify your user with the Ionic User Service
    $ionicUser.identify(user).then(function(){
      $scope.identified = true;
      alert('Identified user ' + user.name + '\n ID ' + user.user_id);
    });
  };

  $rootScope.$on('$cordovaPush:tokenReceived', function(event, data) {
  console.log('Got token', data.token, data.platform);
  // Do something with the token
});

    // Registers a device for push notifications and stores its token
  $scope.pushRegister = function() {

    console.log('Ionic Push: Registering user');

    // Register with the Ionic Push service.  All parameters are optional.
    $ionicPush.register({
      canShowAlert: true, //Can pushes show an alert on your screen?
      canSetBadge: true, //Can pushes update app icon badges?
      canPlaySound: true, //Can notifications play a sound?
      canRunActionsOnWake: true, //Can run actions outside the app,
      onNotification: function(notification) {
        // Handle new push notifications here
        // console.log(notification);
        return true;
      }
    });
  };

  // Handles incoming device tokens
  $rootScope.$on('$cordovaPush:tokenReceived', function(event, data) {
    alert("Successfully registered token " + data.token);
    console.log('Ionic Push: Got token ', data.token, data.platform);
    $scope.token = data.token;
  });

})

.controller('ChatsCtrl', function($scope, Chats) {
  // With the new view caching in Ionic, Controllers are only called
  // when they are recreated or on app start, instead of every page change.
  // To listen for when this page is active (for example, to refresh data),
  // listen for the $ionicView.enter event:
  //
  //$scope.$on('$ionicView.enter', function(e) {
  //});

  $scope.chats = Chats.all();
  $scope.remove = function(chat) {
    Chats.remove(chat);
  };
})

.controller('ChatDetailCtrl', function($scope, $stateParams, Chats) {
  $scope.chat = Chats.get($stateParams.chatId);
})

.controller('AccountCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.settings = {
    enableFriends: true
  };
});

I follow the ionic guide step-by-step

A: In order to access the token on ionic.io , you have to push it through:
var push = new Ionic.Push();
var user = Ionic.User.current();

var callback = function(pushToken) {
  console.log('Registered token:', pushToken.token);
  user.addPushToken(pushToken);
  user.save(); // you NEED to call a save after you add the token
}

push.register(callback);

as mentioned in the docs.

Over the Target
Anyone publicly challenging BS regime narratives these days receives flak. If you are over the target on the FamilySearch Shared Tree clouds of Blue Hints appear onscreen.
A week ago, in Garden of Earthly Delights, I offered screenshots of two Robert Jenkinsons born in 1819. One was rightly the son of Thomas and Mary nee CASTLE and the other mistakenly so. After adding all but one of Right Robert's missing children with Elizabeth COLE, I connected him with his parents. The two Roberts are now "brothers" – and the system has issued "Possible Duplicate Child" warnings.
For now, Wrong Robert will remain a child of Thomas and Mary. I have made just enough changes to enable me to put the other Robert's headstone on the Shared Tree as a memory. ( I didn't add Jane to the family he created with Elizabeth. The child's name is inscribed in stone but I have so far been unable to find a birth, census, or death record for her.)
This representation of Robert and Ann BARWICK is problematic. It asks us to believe Ann was twelve years old when she had an illegitimate child, and thirteen when she married. It also shows son William dying in 1849, even though an attached census source shows the boy aged three in 1851.
There is a source for the marriage on 13 September 1846 and the banns (below). The absence of Blue Hints is significant. Robert's death in Durham is confidently asserted but searching for a record on Findmypast (+/- 5 years) returns nothing.
The births of William and James were registered.

Before bringing an outcast Robert JENKINSON in from the cold [L8S2-22P], I searched again for his children and found…
Previously, I had looked for a Robert born in 1819 +/- 2 years. My bad. But I am pleased to have this family to build on. When I have added the missing children I will introduce them to their paternal grandparents. That will be a shock to "the system".
This morning I had a last look for missing children on the Shared Tree and found Robert the Second, born in the summer of 1855. When he was 19 years old, he married Elizabeth STEPHENSON. Though that isn't quite how he has been presented.
The three-year discrepancy in father Robert's birth year is a red flag, and the absence of the children's grandparents is disconcerting but, yet again, it is the attached sources that confirm that there is something amiss here.
The contributor who attached three sources was clearly aware of the birth year difference but allowed this weed to take root anyway.
The second source earns flower status because the "wrong Robert" above will be made right by simply changing the birth date. The children shown in the screenshot seem right, though six more have to be added. The note added by the contributor isn't quite correct, ("age 20 born 1854)", and it doesn't reveal that the bride's mother in law was Elizabeth COLE. It also fails to point out that the Robert born in 1852 to Robert Jenkinson and Rachel HODGSON, died aged 9.
The third source is also a flower, being the Bridlington household of Robert and Elizabeth nee Stephenson.
It will take a few more days to fix the errors plaguing the closely related Jenkinsons of Filey and Bridlington – and to upload their several Filey St Oswald's headstones to the Shared Tree as memories.

Superdad?
I ended Friday's post with a 1901 census screenshot of "wrong" Elizabeth STORK as Mrs WESTFIELD. The only birth record I had found that was a reasonable fit for her gave the mother's maiden surname as ULLIOT. It didn't take long to figure that this woman was not the mother of the future Mrs Westfield. Here is the birth registration of the besmircher of little Elizabeth Stork's memory.
STOCK (sic), Elizabeth, Mother's Maiden Surname: MAINPRIZE. GRO Reference: 1845 J Quarter in BRIDLINGTON Volume 23 Page 21
In most other readily available sources this Elizabeth's calculated birth year is 1851. There is a record showing that she was baptised at the age of two that goes part way to explaining the six year discrepancy.
Elizabeth, daughter of William Stork and Frances "Fanny" Mainprize, already has a place on Filey Genealogy & Connections, but the information about her maternal grandparents there is minimal. I had to do more work to establish that, in reality, grandfather Leonard Mainprize was born in Flamborough in 1785. In a corner of the Shared Tree he is almost a quarter of a century older. And this fellow married twice and appears to have fathered seventeen children. I have put the two families together –
"Wrong" Elizabeth's mother is child 8 on the right.
That John Mainprize should have been born in 1807 to both Mary Morris and Frances Vickerman is only one indication that all is not well here.
Leonard is apparently sixty-seven years old when his last child, Mary, is born. In 1851 she is described in the Census as a "house servant", 23 and unmarried, living in Flamborough with her widower father. His given age is 65, not 90.
One of the FamilySearch Genealogies, from a partner site (MyTrees.com), has a firmer grip on reality.
If this mess on the Shared Tree can be cleared up, the relationship between the two Leonards may become clear – and little Elizabeth Stork can sleep in peace eternally when "wrong" Elizabeth is laid to rest in the right place and at the right time.
(I have just had a quick look online and the FamilySearch Shared Tree has been calculated to be 98% accurate.)

Re-arranged Marriages
A few days ago I messaged a contributor to the FamilySearch Shared Tree,and with David's help the problematic PARROTT families have been reconciled.
Tom Parrott of Hemswell has had his marriage to Susannah GRAVES annulled and he is now happily married to Minnie HIDER. On the 1911 census form he stated that ten children had been born in the previous 25 years, of whom three had died.
The sudden emptiness in Susannah's life was instantly filled by marriage to Tom PARRATT (sic) of Donington on Bain. I think David has already added to their family.
Because of the distant connection to Filey, through Emily Etta, I did a bit more work today on her father George, finding the marriage of his parents in Northorpe, a few miles from Hemswell. George's mother was 38 years old when she married and may have had a daughter with much younger Thomas Parrott before they tied the knot. I haven't put Mary on the Shared Tree because I couldn't find sources for her birth or baptism.
George and Elizabeth VICKERS have possible duplicate IDs linked to the baptism sof a daughter Elizabeth (MJB9-8QF) on 18 May 1859. Brother Tom was baptised on the same day, and firstborn sibling Sarah Elizabeth in May two years earlier. Alas, I haven't been able to find a birth source for Elizabeth – and Sarah Elizabeth reaching adulthood and marrying puts a questionmark over Elizabeth and Tom being twins. I haven't found little Elizabeth in census or death records either, so have not made the merge. Perhaps a descendant will find these Parrotts and offer a solution to this small mystery.
I took George Woodward Parrott from the other couple called George and Elizabeth but made up the loss by contributing other children and sources. Neither parent has ancestors on the Shared Tree, and only two grandchildren so far from their four girls and five boys. There's plenty of work there for others to do!

A Confusion of Parrotts, Part 2
The parents of Emily Etta PARROTT have this minimal presence on the FamilySearch Shared Tree – but it is something I can build on over the next few days.
Making George Woodward Parrott the fruit of a union that had not yet formed is puzzling.
But I can make mistakes too and I must own up to tentatively marrying Emily's brother Tom to one Annie SMITH, in Caistor in 1879. It was only the discovery of him at Thonock Hall in 1881 that has saved my blushes. He was an usher, servant to Elizabeth, Lady BACON. Also "living in" at the Hall was Minnie HIDER, a kitchen maid born in Belgravia, London. I had seen their names linked earlier in Free BMD Marriages. They married in St George's Hanover Square in 1885. Their first two children were born in London but the family then moved back to the Parrott heartland. The births of their next eight children were registered in Gainsborough.
Minnie has a FamilySearch ID [LK4R-W1M] but her husband-to-be is otherwise engaged, so to speak.
The Tom Parrott tied up with Susannah GRAVES has a Hemswell baptism source attached and two census sources giving his birthplace in Donington on Bain, over twenty miles away. I must somehow free Hemswell Tom from this illicit marriage and give Donington Tom his real parents.

As for the third Tom who married Annie Smith… I think I'll let him go. I have more than enough to do.

Reviewing my current list of "Stone People" this morning, I noticed that Emily Etta PARROTT was in need of a FamilySearch Tree ID.
This memory of her probably brings a smile to most people who notice the stone by the west wall of the churchyard.
Born in Upton, Lincolnshire, she was with Mary Elizabeth in Filey when the census was taken in 1901. They offered lodging to visitors at 4 Rutland Street.
Photographed this afternoon
That year, Emily was 27 and Mary 32. Some of Mary's forebears were established in Filey before the end of the 16th century and it would be interesting to know how she formed such a strong bond with the daughter of an agricultural labourer from the other side of the Humber. The two women appear to have lived together to the end of their days, Mary departing first aged 91 and Emily following about fifteen months later.
About three years ago I found Emily's parents on the Shared Tree, their record associated with the christening of their first child in 1856. Looking today for a more substantial pairing I happened upon Emily's older brother George Woodward Parrott. Five years separate them, and both were born in Upton – but although they should have the same biological mother, George has been placed with Elizabeth nee DOWLE.
This Elizabeth's husband George died in 1911; "just Elizabeth", mother of Sarah Elizabeth and Emily Etta, buried her George in 1885. The GRO Births Index shows her maiden surname.

PARROTT, Emily Etty (sic), Mother's Maiden Surname: VICKERS. GRO Reference: 1873 D Quarter in GAINSBURGH (sic) Volume 07A Page 722.
The confusion doesn't end here. The eldest brother of Sarah, George and Emily – Tom – is correctly pinned on the Shared Tree with his christening source but he has been married to the wrong woman and misplaced geographically in 1881 and 1891.
This will take some sorting out. I hope to offer my "workings" in Confusion Part 2 tomorrow.

The Wrong Wife
John Braithwaite TAYLOR is currently married to Ann CHADWICK on the FamilySearch Shared Tree. Nine sources are attached to his record but one is duplicated and another has been removed. Only the Civil marriage registration source is misleading.
Here is John's Probate entry –
Hmm, Elizabeth. The 1881 census finds John and Elizabeth at 14 Ferndale Terrace, Scarborough, with two children – Annie Gertrude, 4, and Francis Edward, 2. And the GRO Births Index offers…
Clearly, the marriage of Ann to John Braithwaite Taylor on the Shared Tree should be dissolved so that the birth of her first daughter with George COCKERILL can be recorded.
This child was born in Filey. She does not have a Shared Tree ID yet but she is with her seven siblings on Filey Genealogy & Connections. Her father has a foothold on the Shared Tree.Ann Chadwick has two IDs, one tying her to the wrong husband, the other placing her in the bosom of her birth family.
Elizabeth, the right wife, died shortly after celebrating her seventieth birthday.

Back in December, I looked at the three contenders for a lasting place in the affections of John COLLEY.
They were not all called Jane.
I messaged a contributor and can now report that some changes have been made on the Shared Tree. It may help to read Jane Lundy x2 before proceeding.
All of the women discussed in December's post have been thrown in the dustbin of family history, though Sarah's ID has been taken by an outsider, one Jane STUTTER.
This screenshot updates December's Jane & Sarah illustration.
I am questioning Jane Stutter because she dies aged 47 and not 56 as recorded by the gravestone, death registration and burial record. Her five children were born in Filey between 1827 and 1837 but her marriage to John took place in Essex in July 1825. Maldon is a small port on the Blackwater estuary, so it is quite possible that our Master Mariner found his wife there. But I am loathe to give up on the elder Jane LUNDY who figures in Filey Genealogy & Connections, though there are no sources to prove a woman with that name married the sailor.
The marriage of John to Jane Stutter does not seem definitive, lacking information regarding home parishes, father's names and their occupations. It doesn't give the age of the bride or groom either. Jane's age on the Shared Tree accords with the 1841 Census, where she is 38, living with 47-year-old John in Prospect Place, Filey. Enumerators were cavalier with ages at this census and the instruction "to the nearest five years" could give a margin of error up to ten years for adults. Jane is said to be Yorkshire-born – and searching for a fitting Colley family in Essex has yielded nothing so far.
I also sent a plea-for-help message in December regarding the elder Jane Lundy's great-granddaughter Mary Jane COLLING, who was posing as Mary COLLEY, daughter of William and his wife Jane JENKINSON. See Another Mistaken Mary. I didn't get a reply and so, five months on, I have packed the errant Mary off to the West Riding, where she belongs.

If I take "Snaith George" away from his parents on the Shared Tree he will have no-one in his past. After several hours of searching, I've yet to find his real ma and pa. Based on geography alone, there is a good chance he is the son of John and Elizabeth DOVE. They christened their boy in Bubwith, about ten miles from where "our George" married Rachael Lansdon née BICKERTON. Alas, the few sources that give his age all disagree. The 1841 England & Wales census says he is 35, the 1851 Canadian census offers 47. So, calculated birth years of 1806 and 1804. The Bubwith christening took place on 8 September 1802.
Rachael Bickerton's birth year is an equally moveable snack – 1806 (1841census), 1801 (1851 census) and a very precise 16 April 1796 attached to her christening in Howden, attended by parents John Bickerton and Jane RICHARDSON. FamilySearch gives eleven hints for Rachel/Rachael and only one is duff – the 1851 census, which makes her the wife of "Middleton George" and mother of three children not her own. In that year, of course, she was over 3,000 miles away in Ontario.
I am waiting for replies to messages I sent a while ago to two contributors to the Doves from Hook/Snaith/Goole. I would prefer it if descendants made the needed corrections.
I wonder how much Snaith George knew about his ancestry. Was he able to tell his children about their roots? Some days ago I discovered that his fourth daughter Harriet married Benjamin F. CHEESBRO in Norfolk, Ontario on 11 September 1858. Today I discovered that this union is peculiarly represented on the Shared Tree.
The marriage date is wrong and this Benjamin's birthplace is given as Saginaw. His two brothers were born in Methley, Yorkshire, a few years later. But, the parents of the Benjamin F. CHEESBRO who married "our Harriet" are given as Joseph and Jane in the Norfolk marriage source. A quick look at the growing Methley CHEESBROUGH family in England looks right, hence the ticks. Its Y-line goes back to Robertus, born 1586, but if you explore the Shared Tree further it becomes clear that Harriet married into a family of great distinction – assuming the earlier generations have been assembled with greater accuracy than those in the 19th century.
For now, in truth, poor Snaith George is bereft of forebears.

One George DOVE was a grandfather of the WARLEY girls of Middleton on the Wolds.
Last month, I deliberately titled a post Floy Warley, so that this blog might take the top spot from Rootspoint – should one in a billion people Google-search for the poor woman.
I was tempted to play the same card today with George, but there are two Yorkshiremen with this name, contemporaries, who found their wives, both called Rachael, in villages only twenty-five miles apart. I didn't want to flummox the crawlers.
Over at FamilySearch the bots (whatever) can be fooled into offering inappropriate hints – though human agents must unwittingly contribute false data to make this happen.
I will call the men George of Middleton and George of Snaith, after the places where the census enumerators found them in 1841. In real life, only one was the grandfather of Charlotte and Floy. On the Shared Tree, both of them are. It is a complicated tale.
The only significant error here is George of Middleton's birth date. The absence of Rachael's family name is made good by the next screenshot.
Note the date and place of the marriage.
Same date, different place. This is George of Middleton with his correct dates of birth and death, his parents and his youngest daughter Esther (sometimes Easter) – but married to George of Snaith's wife. Now, a further complication.
The two Rachaels fledged a number of baby Doves before civil registration began but, fortunately, they then had several children that are readily found in the GRO Births Index.
In the first quarter of 1839, George of Middleton registered the birth of Jane Elizabeth, Charlotte and Floy's mother-to-be, in Driffield Union.
In the last quarter of the same year, George of Snaith registered the birth of George Wesley in the Goole Union. Middleton is in the Driffield Registration District, and both Hook and Snaith are in the Goole RD.

DOVE, George Wesley, Mother's Maiden Surname: BICKERTON. GRO Reference: 1839 D Quarter in THE GOOLE UNION Volume 23 Page 213.
The 1841 households of the two families are found in the FamilySearch sources.
"Elizabeth" here is Jane Elizabeth.
Young George is George Wesley.
George of Middleton has at least five IDs. I haven't rounded up all the IDs for George of Snaith but suspect he has a similar number. The wives ditto. So, there is a lot of merging to be done. The mixing of the marriages, evident in the screenshots, won't make this straightforward.
One day, perhaps, the FamilySearch "system" will be smart enough to red flag the data entry errors that have caused this mess – rather than acquiesce by offering a Census hint for the "wrong" family.
One George and Rachel duo has the birth and death dates of the other, ensuring this hint points to the wrong clutch of Doves. Not a Match.

A Stone's Throw from a Coal Mine to the Hall of Fame
Stanley Coveleski's life was a story of triumph and tragedy.
He was born in the Coal Region town of Shamokin, PA in 1889, the eighth child of Polish immigrants, and went to work as a breaker boy when he was twelve. But he escaped the 12-hour work days in the mines by throwing stones at a can tied to a tree—his own crash course in how to pitch a baseball.
Years later, he was one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball.
In a season marked by personal and team tragedy—the death of his wife and his teammate Ray Chapman, who is the only player to die as a result of being hit by a pitch—Covey pitched three complete-game victories in the Cleveland Indians' 1920 World Series championship.
Covey, one of 17 pitchers still allowed to throw a spitball after it being outlawed before the 1921 season, was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.

Biografia

Primi anni
Nonostante la famiglia Abbati fosse originaria di Savignano sul Rubicone, Ottavio Abbati crebbe con due fratelli più piccoli in condizioni modeste a Fabriano, luogo d'origine della madre Cesira Rossi. Suo padre, Giuseppe Abbati, era parrucchiere di orientamento socialista. Nel 1912 lui e la sua famiglia si stabilirono nella Svizzera occidentale. A Malley, Renens, Vevey e Ginevra apprese il mestiere di parrucchiere e si interessò alle idee politiche, rivolgendosi alla vita e agli scritti di Giuseppe Mazzini. Nel 1917 partecipò alla prima guerra mondiale. Nel 1918 si arruolò nuovamente volontario con le Truppe ausiliarie italiane in Francia (TAIF). Dopo la guerra si stabilì a Roma.

Impegno politico a Roma (1918-1936)
Stretto collaboratore del politico e avvocato Giovanni Conti, divenne dapprima segretario della Federazione giovanile repubblicana del Lazio, poi membro del Comitato esecutivo della Federazione nazionale giovanile, in tale veste principalmente responsabile della propaganda e organizzazione. Nel 1921 partecipò al Congresso giovanile della Regione Lazio a Castel Gandolfo, e un anno dopo a Roma. Nel 1922 partecipò al congresso nazionale del Partito Repubblicano a Trieste come rappresentante delle sezioni di Corchiano, Montalto di Castro, Palombara Sabina, Roma e Viterbo.

Dopo lo scioglimento del Partito Repubblicano, continuò a lavorare in clandestinità. Nel luglio del 1932 fu arrestato insieme ad altre persone per aver fondato a Roma una propaggine del movimento Giustizia e Libertà e, dopo mesi di reclusione nel Carcere di Regina Coeli, fu mandato in esilio all'Isola di Ponza. Dopo il suo ritorno a Roma, sotto costante sorveglianza e più volte arrestato, riuscì a fuggire in Francia alla fine del dicembre 1936.

Impegno politico in Francia (1937-1940)
Abbati fu attivo principalmente nell'organizzazione del Partito Repubblicano a Marsiglia e Nizza (reclutamento di nuovi membri, fondazione di nuove sezioni, ecc.). Nel gennaio 1938 Randolfo Pacciardi lo chiamò a Parigi e gli affidò l'amministrazione e la redazione de La Giovine Italia, settimanale politico per gli emigrati repubblicani in Francia, il cui primo numero uscì a Parigi nel dicembre 1937 e ad Annemasse dal settembre 1938. Nel 1938 ricoprì per alcuni mesi la segreteria del Partito Repubblicano.

Abbati è stato attivo nella Lega italiana dei diritti dell'uomo e durante il Congresso della LIDU di Nantes nel luglio 1938 fu eletto nel Comitato Esecutivo. Gli informatori della polizia politica fascista che si erano introdotti clandestinamente nel partito e nella LIDU inoltrarono numerose segnalazioni su di lui al Ministero dell'Interno di Roma. Pur essendo apolitica per ovvie ragioni, fu monitorata anche la sua corrispondenza con la famiglia a Roma; tutte le lettere furono lette, fotografate, valutate e archiviate.

Fuga, internamento e liberazione (1940-1945)
Dopo la sconfitta francese nel 1940, la polizia fascista inviò alle autorità di occupazione tedesche un elenco con i nomi di 123 "pericolosi sovversivi" ricercati e residenti in Francia , tra cui Abbati e Pacciardi. Sotto l'impressione della minaccia dell'arresto e dell'estradizione in Italia, tentarono insieme di fuggire da Marsiglia attraverso il Nordafrica verso gli Stati Uniti, ma solo Pacciardi vi riuscì, mentre Abbati e alcuni commilitoni politici (Antonio Bedei, Francesco Blesio, Francesco Burrai, Raffaele Savorani, Augusto Testa) rimasero bloccati ad Orano dopo diversi tentativi di fuga falliti. La via di fuga attraverso Orano, organizzata da Pacciardi, si rivelò un vicolo cieco.

La moglie di Abbati, Caterina Martini, seguì il marito ad Annemasse con il loro bambino nel dicembre 1938. Per un accordo tra il Ministero dell'Interno, la polizia romana e il consolato italiano a Chambéry, fu arrestata al confine italo-francese nell'autunno del 1940, inizialmente trasferita nel campo femminile di Pollenza senza una sentenza del tribunale e poi internata in provincia di Avellino fino alla fine del 1942 mentre il figlio undicenne veniva consegnato alla nonna a Roma dalla polizia.

Ottavio Abbati fu internato dalle autorità di Vichy a Tiaret nel 1941; le occasionali donazioni di amici in Svizzera (tra cui Egidio Reale e i due socialisti ticinesi Francesco Borella e Guglielmo Canevascini, e a Tunisi Guido Levi) gli consentirono di sopravvivere. Nel 1943 fu liberato dalle truppe statunitensi. Lavorò poi per le autorità militari statunitensi ad Algeri nell'ambito della propaganda antifascista; nel febbraio 1945 tornò a Roma.

Dopoguerra (1945-1951)
Nel marzo 1945 fu incaricato da Pacciardi di riorganizzare il partito, ma fu destituito nel luglio dello stesso anno a causa di divergenze di opinioni sul corso del partito. Corse per le elezioni parlamentari nel 1948, ma non riuscì a farsi eleggere. Ottavio Abbati morì il 6 gennaio 1951 a Roma.

Riconoscimenti
Il 9 dicembre 1976, per il 50º anniversario dell'adozione delle leggi eccezionali e della formazione del tribunale speciale fascista, Ottavio Abbati (postumo) e altri 16 antifascisti ricevettero una medaglia dalla città di Roma "per il loro impegno contro la dittatura".

Climate Corner: Save the grandchildren
What will it take to motivate Americans into action?
Two of the happiest days of my life were when we welcomed our two granddaughters into the world in 2004 and 2005. At that time their futures were full of possibilities. Today, I fear what the future holds for the next generation and the planet, as nations (especially the USA) fail to take meaningful action to address the climate crisis.
This summer we've watched unrelenting wildfires in the western states. Over 7 million acres of federal land and 3 million acres of non-federal land has burned in California to date this year. Hurricane Ida hit the coastline of Louisiana just a few miles shy of a category 5 and was the second most damaging hurricane in that region since Hurricane Katrina, which left 1,800 dead and $125 billion in damages in 2005. As Ida moved along the northeastern coast it brought record rainfalls to the area and caused monumental flooding in parts of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Estimates of the economic damage top $95 billion, and 71 deaths have been attributed to the storm to date.
A question I struggle with on a daily basis is: Why are many Americans, including politicians, unknowledgeable or unwilling to take action on what has been referred to as "an existential threat to humanity?" The answer might be multifaceted. We lack the knowledge; we don't feel a sense of urgency; and we lack the political will.
In his book, "The Death of Expertise," Tom Nichols says, "the foundational knowledge of the average American is now so low that it has crashed through the floor of uninformed, passed misinformed and is now plummeting to aggressively wrong." We live in a world where many people think, "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." Our response to wearing masks and getting vaccinated are proof of that mindset.
It seems media has done little to educate the general public on the issues surrounding the climate crisis. Rarely does a weather reporter mention the term "climate crisis." In fact, a 2019 report by Media Matters America said that broadcast news only "devoted four hours" to climate coverage in that year. That's less than one percent of broadcast time.
A few pivotal events have affected the amount, accuracy and types of information Americans receive on a daily basis from our media sources. The Fairness Doctrine which said "controversial issues of public importance had to be reported in a manner that was honest, equitable and balanced" was repealed by the FCC in 1987.
Today, news stories can be reported without allowing for an opposing viewpoint or factual data.
Another issue is media consolidation. In 1983, fifty companies owned 90% of radio, television, newspapers, books, internet, cable, and movies. Since the passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, ninety percent of US media is now owned by six corporations. This allows thousands of small media outlets to be controlled by a handful of people. For example, Clear Channel owns over 1,200 stations. When an incorrect or "fake news" story is broadcast, millions of people are getting this false information.
We might blame some of our hesitancy to take action on a "lack of knowledge" or our inability to get real facts, but it is nearly impossible to ignore the death and devastation occurring from record-setting weather events. A recent study showed the 2018 wildfires in California cost $148 billion, killed 97 civilians and 6 firefighters, and destroyed 24,000 buildings. The current wildfire season is on track to break all records. At least 176 people died this past February in the record-breaking Texas snowstorm. The estimated cost of the storm is $20 billion.
If we believe the science and we acknowledge the destruction including lives lost and the costs, why aren't we screaming in the streets? Are we too anesthetized by lifestyles based on consumerism? Do we care nothing about the other sentient species we are destroying by our addiction to convenience? Have we been lulled into complacency by a media that remains silent on the issue? Are we counting on a solution coming from a political system bought and paid for by fossil fuels?
In fact, many scientists believe that we have less than a decade to make significant changes or face irreversible consequences. The United Nations scientists have called a "code red" for humanity in August saying in their 3,000-plus page report, "unless rapid and deep reductions are made to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions" we will exceed the 1.5 C threshold by 2030.
A major threat to solving or even addressing climate change continues to be the lack of political will. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, "we have the scientific knowledge and the technical means but we lack the political will to put a price on carbon, to stop subsidies on fossil fuels, to stop building coal power plants, and to shift taxation from income to carbon." Ansel Adams accurately describes the situation, "it's horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save our environment."
But sadly, this is what we have to do; fight our own government. Since the passage of the 14th Amendment, the courts have extended corporations rights that were previously only granted to citizens. Corporations are not citizens; their main concern is their bottom line.
Corporate power has increased with the passage of Citizens United. With endless amounts of lobbying money, we now have the best politicians money can buy. Until we end Citizens United and get money out of politics, many politicians will continue to thwart any efforts to hold fossil fuel corporations responsible for their role in the climate crisis. Instead, they will placate the industry and cling to false solutions like carbon capture, blue hydrogen, and recycling.
If you need any motivation to act on climate change and demand politicians take the issue seriously, look at your grandkids. Do you want them to know you sat by and watched their world burn?

Here's What We Know About OutDaughtered Star Grandma MiMi's Surprising Arrest
By Christine-Marie Liwag Dixon/Oct. 19, 2020 5:58 pm EST
OutDaughtered fans were shocked to learn that Michelle Theriot, better known as Grandma MiMi on the show, has been arrested. TMZ broke the news that Danielle Busby's mother had been pulled over for a DUI over the weekend as she was driving home. The outlet reported that cops said the OutDaughtered star was "lethargic" when pulled over and that her "speech was slurred and she had bloodshot eyes." She also reportedly tried to mask the smell of alcohol in the vehicle with perfume.
Grandma MiMi is said to have initially claimed to have had two glasses of wine, although she later said she'd actually had two Michelob Ultra beers. She reportedly failed sobriety tests and was put in handcuffs and taken to jail.
Grandma MiMi is quite close to her grandchildren. As OutDaughtered fans know, she even moved from Louisiana to Texas after the quints were born in order to be closer to her beloved family.
Grandma MiMi's Instagram account disappeared following her arrest
As noted by TV Shows Ace, Granda MiMi's Instagram appears to have been taken down or deactivated following the incident. The Busbys have yet to weigh in on her DUI, although both Adam and Danielle have been active on their own Instagram accounts since the news broke.
Danielle recently posted a picture of herself and some of the quints baking. "Sunday baking, brought to you by Mama, Hazel and PK," she wrote in the caption. "We are making chocolate dipped pretzels with sprinkles for a Halloween Party."
Adam's latest post is about Danielle. "Love this woman," he wrote in the caption of a photo of Danielle playing on the floor with one of the kids. "No matter how busy or stressful things can get in this house, @dbusby can still recognize those special little moments to stop what she may be doing and play on the floor and be a kid."

Craig Murray: Russia Played No Role At All In The Email Leaks, interviewed by David Swanson

Craig Murray is an author, broadcaster and human rights activist. He was British Ambassador to Uzbekistan from August 2002 to October 2004 and Rector of the University of Dundee from 2007 to 2010. See www.craigmurray.org.uk.
Murray explains that he has met the leaker of either the DNC or Podesta emails and that both sets of emails were leaked by one or more people at either the NSA or the Democratic Party, that Russia played no role at all.
Vincent Emanuele joined the United States Marine Corps as a squad automatic machine gunner in 2002. After two combat-deployments in Iraq, he refused orders for a third and immediately began organizing with Veterans for Peace and Iraq Veterans Against the War. In 2008, Vince testified to Congress at the Winter Soldier Hearings on Capitol Hill, where he provided detailed accounts of war crimes, atrocities, drug abuse and sexual assault within the military.

Were the DNC Emails Hacked or Leaked?
TheRealNews on Dec 12, 2016
Former FBI agent and whistleblower Coleen Rowley says we've heard from the FBI and the CIA, but it is the NSA that would be the critical agency because of how it monitors communications.
The CIA's Absence of Conviction
by Craig Murray
Craig Murray's website
I have watched incredulous as the CIA's blatant lie has grown and grown as a media story – blatant because the CIA has made no attempt whatsoever to substantiate it. There is no Russian involvement in the leaks of emails showing Clinton's corruption. Yes this rubbish has been the lead today in the Washington Post in the US and the Guardian here, and was the lead item on the BBC main news. I suspect it is leading the American broadcasts also.
A little simple logic demolishes the CIA's claims. The CIA claim they "know the individuals" involved. Yet under Obama the USA has been absolutely ruthless in its persecution of whistleblowers, and its pursuit of foreign hackers through extradition. We are supposed to believe that in the most vital instance imaginable, an attempt by a foreign power to destabilise a US election, even though the CIA knows who the individuals are, nobody is going to be arrested or extradited, or (if in Russia) made subject to yet more banking and other restrictions against Russian individuals? Plainly it stinks. The anonymous source claims of "We know who it was, it was the Russians" are beneath contempt.
As Julian Assange has made crystal clear, the leaks did not come from the Russians. As I have explained countless times, they are not hacks, they are insider leaks – there is a major difference between the two. And it should be said again and again, that if Hillary Clinton had not connived with the DNC to fix the primary schedule to disadvantage Bernie, if she had not received advance notice of live debate questions to use against Bernie, if she had not accepted massive donations to the Clinton foundation and family members in return for foreign policy influence, if she had not failed to distance herself from some very weird and troubling people, then none of this would have happened.
The continued ability of the mainstream media to claim the leaks lost Clinton the election because of "Russia", while still never acknowledging the truths the leaks reveal, is Kafkaesque.
I had a call from a Guardian journalist this afternoon. The astonishing result was that for three hours, an article was accessible through the Guardian front page which actually included the truth among the CIA hype:
The Kremlin has rejected the hacking accusations, while the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has previously said the DNC leaks were not linked to Russia. A second senior official cited by the Washington Post conceded that intelligence agencies did not have specific proof that the Kremlin was "directing" the hackers, who were said to be one step removed from the Russian government.
Craig Murray, the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, who is a close associate of Assange, called the CIA claims "bullshit", adding: "They are absolutely making it up."
"I know who leaked them," Murray said. "I've met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it's an insider. It's a leak, not a hack; the two are different things.
"If what the CIA are saying is true, and the CIA's statement refers to people who are known to be linked to the Russian state, they would have arrested someone if it was someone inside the United States.
"America has not been shy about arresting whistleblowers and it's not been shy about extraditing hackers. They plainly have no knowledge whatsoever."
But only three hours. While the article was not taken down, the home page links to it vanished and it was replaced by a ludicrous one repeating the mad CIA allegations against Russia and now claiming – incredibly – that the CIA believe the FBI is deliberately blocking the information on Russian collusion. Presumably this totally nutty theory, that Putin is somehow now controlling the FBI, is meant to answer my obvious objection that, if the CIA know who it is, why haven't they arrested somebody. That bit of course would be the job of the FBI, who those desperate to annul the election now wish us to believe are the KGB.
It is terrible that the prime conduit for this paranoid nonsense is a once great newspaper, the Washington Post, which far from investigating executive power, now is a sounding board for totally evidence free anonymous source briefing of utter bullshit from the executive.
In the UK, one single article sums up the total abnegation of all journalistic standards. The truly execrable Jonathan Freedland of the Guardian writes "Few credible sources doubt that Russia was behind the hacking of internal Democratic party emails, whose release by Julian Assange was timed to cause maximum pain to Hillary Clinton and pleasure for Trump." Does he produce any evidence at all for this assertion? No, none whatsoever. What does a journalist mean by a "credible source"? Well, any journalist worth their salt in considering the credibility of a source will first consider access. Do they credibly have access to the information they claim to have?
Now both Julian Assange and I have stated definitively the leak does not come from Russia. Do we credibly have access? Yes, very obviously. Very, very few people can be said to definitely have access to the source of the leak. The people saying it is not Russia are those who do have access. After access, you consider truthfulness. Do Julian Assange and I have a reputation for truthfulness? Well in 10 years not one of the tens of thousands of documents WikiLeaks has released has had its authenticity successfully challenged. As for me, I have a reputation for inconvenient truth telling.
Contrast this to the "credible sources" Freedland relies on. What access do they have to the whistleblower? Zero. They have not the faintest idea who the whistleblower is. Otherwise they would have arrested them. What reputation do they have for truthfulness? It's the Clinton gang and the US government, for goodness sake.
In fact, the sources any serious journalist would view as "credible" give the opposite answer to the one Freedland wants. But in what passes for Freedland's mind, "credible" is 100% synonymous with "establishment". When he says "credible sources" he means "establishment sources". That is the truth of the "fake news" meme. You are not to read anything unless it is officially approved by the elite and their disgusting, crawling whores of stenographers like Freedland.
The worst thing about all this is that it is aimed at promoting further conflict with Russia. This puts everyone in danger for the sake of more profits for the arms and security industries – including of course bigger budgets for the CIA. As thankfully the four year agony of Aleppo comes swiftly to a close today, the Saudi and US armed and trained ISIS forces counter by moving to retake Palmyra. This game kills people, on a massive scale, and goes on and on.

same thing . just coming from a different party .
David Llewellyn Foster | December 16, 2016 at 7:08 AM
The most extraordinary thing about all this despicable posturing and blag, is the wholesale contempt it displays for the US electorate ~ who are treated like ignorant cattle, whilst being preached at by criminal elites, fed institutional lies and mercilessly corralled by brain-washed bigots.
State directed 'Intel' media are managed exactly like a gigantic Concentrated Animal Feed Operation or 'CAFO.'
It is beyond disgraceful that 'legitimate' or 'legitimized' organs of governance are simply being held hostage to a pack of braying, multi-branded feral propagandists; fattened by illusions of dominance, with over-stuffed pockets and bulging egos.

"The situation is more than intolerable . . . it is ridiculous . . . it is obscene."

I stumbled upon Craig Murray relatively recently, in connection with Brexit and my interest in getting a Left take on the referendum, and am very happy to have done so. I've seen this article bouncing around on the few – They've shrunk in number – progressive websites I've visited. I just never got around to reading it. It would have been a shame considering it's significance. Thanks DS!
dandelionsalad | December 14, 2016 at 2:23 AM
You're welcome, Arrby. I am thankful that Craig Murray allowed for other websites/blogs to republish his article for free. You are right, many people need to read this piece.
I first learned of him in 2009. Here's the interview with him then: https://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/craig-murray-uzbek-terror-and-the-ukusa/

The Architect Of Mezcal: Carlos Moreno Talks Community, Tradition, And The Family Behind Koch
Christopher Friedmann
"https://spiritedzine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/SpiritedZine_C_728x90-01.jpg"/>
Carlos Moreno's energy is palpable. He's on his way to the Koch Mezcal warehouse in Oaxaca and as our call cuts in and out, he begins to unravel the vast world of connections he has strung together over the last dozen years.
Today, Koch employs 170 individuals from across the region. Since starting the company in 2008, Carlos has knitted together a community. Not long ago, each producer in the organization was on their own, forced to play jimador, mezcalero, and seller, driving their own trucks to markets across Oaxaca's diverse landscape in an effort to sell some, but certainly not most of their own Mezcals. Now, these once unconnected Mezcal producers are a family, and a successful one at that.
During our interview, Carlos takes us from the car, through the warehouse, and finally to a desk sitting just outside the facility. The desk is not his. In fact, he doesn't have one of his own.
To some, the lack of a desk for the man behind one of the most beloved Mezcal companies on the planet may seem strange. Carlos is an architect by trade and looks like a man comfortable crossing a construction site, checking in on each piece of a massive project. In the Koch warehouse, he is in his element, chatting with everyone, from those on the production line to friends from across the globe working on innovations. He doesn't look like a man who enjoys sitting.
A ball of passion and energy, Carlos has constructed an organization that actively works with 18 communities across Oaxaca. Koch offers Mezcals from 58 families that are sold to 16 different countries. On top of that, he provides consulting services to 10 companies, some of which use his warehouse and expertise to create Mezcals of their own.
It's Carlos' passion that has connected the various producers currently found under the Koch name. When asked how he manages to keep so many different producers happy, he explains, "We make them feel comfortable because we are involved with them in the production of agave, in the production of Mezcal. How can you make a maestro in Oaxaca feel happy? Work with them. As in any business in the world, they want to be connected with you."
It's that shared passion and understanding that Carlos believes connects the entire organization, "Living in the communities, you know, it's hare, tortilla, frijoles. or whatever you have, you know. Sometimes we have a rabbit, and that's the thing, that's the life here. And if you enjoy it, people feel it. I think sometimes we forget, but all of us know a human being feels the other people," he explains. "When you have passion it's obvious and people enjoy it and people enjoy sharing with you. I think that's why they are happy, because we are connected."
Koch takes that connection to heart and puts money back into the land and communities who produce the Mezcal. They also defend strong social, ecological and ethical values. "We put our money back into the fields and [the producers] know we recollect seeds," reveals Carlos. "We germinate the seeds and then give them back to the communities, so they can plant it back in the mountains." That's just one of the ways Koch remains focused on the land and the people.
Koch is a company steeped in tradition, Carlos a man fascinated with history and families who have been producing the agave spirit for generations. That's why Koch doesn't impose a singular way of Mezcal production on its producers. He understands that the producers the company works with know better than anyone how to make the Mezcal they have been creating for decades.
That doesn't take anything away from Carlos. His knowledge of Mezcal is vast, and he just so happens to be a steadfast believer in terroir. "Everything is based on principles, and one is we respect the region of the agave," he explains. "In Koch, you find agave produced in the same region [in which it's grown]. The agave must be from the same community, from the same region because we are giving to our consumers the experience of terroir."
Carlos believes that in every bottle, drinkers should be able to "taste the soil, the water, the fermentation, and the yeast." Additionally, "It should be natural yeast you find in the environment."
It's up to the producers to make Mezcal in the method that their "region" has perfected. "Each region in Oaxaca has a different way to produce. Some of these people love to do it by hand, they are smashing the agave by hand, and other people use a horse." Every choice has an impact on the final product, explains Carlos, "If you have animals closer, it will be richer." That's why it is of the utmost importance that Koch "respects the production of each region."
Despite all of these differences in production, Carlos views the company he has built as "a big family." "Koch is like our last name and then each bottle, each community, each family, they have their own history."
This weaving of different communities has helped Carlos put Mezcal on the map. His company has improved the lives and land of those who are connected with it and is one of those responsible for the relatively new global popularity of the agave spirit. But while many would see this as pointing toward a bright future, Carlos remains cautious.
When asked what's the future of Mezcal, he responds, "The next for Mezcal is, sadly, industrialization." Carlos "sees it every day." "The big companies are in Oaxaca, making, producing, buying everything for massive consumers… I think Mezcal, right now, is in a big risk."
Carlos believes that big companies can make Mezcal that tastes good, but to him, it's a product "without essence." "That's why we say our liquid is culture," he elucidates. "And that culture is love and passion." And while Carlos has no illusions about the approaching reality of industrialization, he believes that his tight knit community of 58 families is the way to make sure money is spread across Oaxaca.
That's why Carlos continues to work with outsiders who want to produce Mezcals of their own. He believes if you blend Mezcals to create a unique product that someone is looking for and keep things out of the major factories, Mezcal can continue to provide for families across the region. The point is to make sure that the money doesn't just end up in "one reduced group of people."
At the heart of it all, Carlos sees Mezcal as a community and Koch as a family, and he believes that it's this connection and passion for the agave spirit that will create a bright future. As he puts it, "One by one, we are mortals. Together, we are eternal."
