This is going to be vague, for reasons that will become apparent: I'm not going to name the pubs or the beers, or even the day when I drank them.
Beer 1 was a porter – quite a big, complex beast. I liked it well enough, but it was a bit slack and lacking condition; what was worse, partway down the glass I started to notice a sour edge to the flavour, as if the beer was starting to oxidate(?).
Oh well – occupational hazard of drinking cask, I thought, and ordered something else. This was a pale beer with a completely different flavour profile, but… damn it, there it was again: a sour edge, as of a beer that was just about to start going off.
At this point I gave it up and went home. But, with that last beer in mind in particular, I'm seriously starting to wonder: is it me? Was I just tasting everything as sour that day?
Is that, as they say, a thing?
Does anyone else have experience of thinking every single beer they tasted was going off, or know someone who does?
Pale yellow, clear, light but effective conditioning. A fresh-tasting golden ale with a bit of body; faint herbal overtones keep things interesting, and there's a distinctive tannic bitterness on the finish. The overall effect is clean but slightly medicinal, in a good way: the first time I tasted this I was on my way home from a beer festival, and it felt like a healthy choice. (On the other hand, I was on my way home from a beer festival, so my judgment wasn't perfect.) The bitterness builds: after a while I notice bitterness buzzing on the tip of my tongue between mouthfuls, as well as at the back of my mouth; as I get further down the glass I start to get bitterness at the edges of my tongue as well. A pleasantly bland golden ale in mid-mouth, surrounded on all sides by medicinal bitterness – it's an interesting combination, and rather pleasant.
Before I go much further with this review of a series of beers with additions, I should say that in general I'm not a fan of beers with additions, particularly where the additions seem designed to replicate flavours that can be found in beers without them – look at all those Christmas beers with cake spices or soft fruit added for flavour, or BrewDog's Elvis Juice (craft beer that tastes of grapefruit because it's got grapefruit juice in). So the realisation that the green tea here is carrying some of the aroma and bittering duties that the hops ought to be doing should really put me off this beer. It doesn't, though, because the beer works so well – really pleasant, drinkable without getting bland or boring. Perhaps they should go the whole hog and leave the hops out – anyone for a Green Tea Gruit?
Amber, clear, decent conditioning. Fresh, mildly citric foretaste, building to a substantial sweetish body with a bitter finish. So far, so 'best bitter', but I should add that I got bitter oranges in the body and, in a more pronounced form, on the finish; after a while I could taste orange peel on my lips as well. In short, yes, I was tasting the pith.
What impressed me about this was its balance and drinkability. A marmalade beer sounds like a gimmick, and in many brewers' hands it would be – it'd be a jangle of jammy sweetness, harsh bitterness and obtrusive orange flavouring. This doesn't have any of those things – it drinks like a best bitter, but one that happens to take a lot its body and bitterness from bitter oranges. It's a surprisingly unified and un-spiky flavour profile, and it goes down very easy.
Golden, clear, lively conditioning. An initial biscuity heaviness – with just a hint of sweetness – dries out rapidly to something more like a golden ale, with a touch of that 'gassy' mineral quality; there's a bit of soapiness coming through from the ginger, too. A definite but not extreme bitter finish is rounded off very satisfactorily by ginger heat. The overall effect is of a three-way cross between old-school best bitter, pilsner and ginger beer – but a ginger beer that's been left to ferment out, so that the sweetness has gone but the ginger remains.
I've got two touchstones for ginger beer – Marble's Ginger Marble and (a distant memory of) Brendan Dobbin's West Coast alcoholic ginger beer. Neither of them is/was at all sweet, a test which most 'ginger beer's fail badly; the West Coast beer, in fact, tasted almost exactly like (an even more distant memory of) home-made ginger beer that had fermented in the bottle. The clean and dry flavours of these beers, backed by the ginger hit on the after-taste, make them serious thirst-quenchers. This one is worthy to stand alongside them.
Golden, slight haze, low but adequate conditioning. Peaches in the aroma, unquestionably; sweetness and fruit in the foretaste. Not sickly or heavy, but doesn't open up or dry out very much in mid-mouth; becomes a bit fresher, but stays fruity. The bitterness at the end is all tannic, with a touch of herbal perfume (China tea?).
As with the Jasmine Green Tea Pale, my immediate reaction to this is that they're using additions to get flavours that (with the right malt, the right hops and the right technique) could have been wrung out of malt and hops alone. But let's park that and just ask whether the beer works. I suppose there are two questions to ask of any beer whose flavour profile is dominated by additions. One is whether you feel like you're drinking something distinctive, or just a bland base beer with a bunch of flavours dropped on top of it; the other is whether you feel like you're drinking beer, or the flavourings have taken over to the extent that it might as well be an alcoholic version of (whatever the flavour is). The first of these, the PIT passes with flying colours: it's an interesting combination of flavours, well combined and none of them obtrusive. On the second I'm less sure; there wasn't really enough hop character to keep it out of the 'alco-pop' zone. Nice stuff, though, and I was still smelling peaches half an hour later.
Black, good conditioning. Opens with a sharp – raspberry-flavoured – sourness; as the flavour develops this is replaced by a mellow, dark chocolate bitterness, lightened with some sweetness and a distinct edge of vanilla.
I'm having to rethink my position on beers with additions. I think back to Titanic's Damson and Vanilla Stout; despite the obvious similarities, that was nothing remotely like this. The Titanic beer tasted like a stout, but also tasted of damsons – the fruit flavour emerged out of the flavour of the beer. What Ticketybrew seem to be doing with these beers is quite different. The 'sharp opening, smooth bitter finish' combo is very characteristic of stouts. What's unusual about this one is that both the foretaste and the finish come from the additions – just as the sweetish 'best bitter' body of the Marmalade Pale comes from the oranges and the dry 'pale ale' finish of the Jasmine Green Tea Pale comes from the tea. These are Frankenstein beers, with hops-and-barley flavour profiles duplicated – and heightened – by the use of additions. It's a really interesting approach, and mostly it seems to be working really well.
Pale gold, clear, light carbonation. Sweetish foretaste, perhaps slightly heavier than most of these; develops to a light, fresh flavour with a bit of that lager-like 'gassy', almost menthol edge to it. No bitterness on the finish – just more of the same and a return of that (rose water?) sweetness.
Immediate reaction: "Goes down like an absolute dream, and I don't even like it." A beautiful beer, and very, very drinkable. I still feel vaguely as if I don't like it (or maybe just that I ought not to like it?); it's certainly sweeter than most things I drink, and the rose water addition is the kind of thing you get in those made-up beers marketed at women from time to time. But you can't argue with an empty glass. It's just a really nice beer – and I think it is definitely a beer, not an alcoholic carbonated rose water drink. Incidentally, I'm sure I remember an earlier version of this one having more additions – ginger comes to mind – but I've got to say it works fine as it is.
Mahogany brown, nearly opaque, very light but adequate carbonation. A surprisingly straightforward beer, despite the unusual ingredient list (malted rye and all). It starts out like a heavy-ish, dark-ish brown bitter – not much bitterness or overt sweetness – before an aftertaste dominated by the titular coffee and star anise. And repeat – like so many beers on this list, this is a beer that goes down surprisingly easily. The flavours are quite distinctive and wouldn't automatically combine to make a good beer – in fact the first time I tasted this, on draught, I found the star anise a bit overpowering – but here they work together well. As so often, the secret is balance.
Mahogany brown, opaque, very light but adequate carbonation (i.e. not flat). Heavy, with both sweetness and salt on the foretaste; doesn't lighten much but builds to a rich malt-loaf flavour, finishing with bitterness (and a definite hit of coffee), together with a brief return of that salt/sweet combination. Grew on me as I got down the glass; there are some strong and definite flavours bumping into each other here, and the combination initially tasted a bit in-your-face and medicinal. By the end, though, it tastes like itself and nothing but.
Quite full-on, this one – it drinks its strength and then some. I'm not sure I'm really on board with the recent rediscovery of lactose, 'breakfast stouts' and all; I feel about this one rather as I felt about Wild's Millionaire, that the fact that you can do something doesn't necessarily mean that you should. It's different, though, and it certainly tastes like you'd expect a salted caramel coffee porter to taste. More to the point, it passes both the tests I mentioned earlier on – it's a distinctive flavour combination, and there is recognisably a beer underneath it all (the Wild beer didn't really pass this second test, as I remember). It's not quite as seamlessly put together as some of the beers here, though.
Pale yellow, hazy, good condition. A sweetish foretaste gives way to spiky and aromatic fruit flavours; thins out a little – to something like home-made lemonade – before a buzzingly intense bitter finish. You'd swear there was grapefruit in there.
Minor update 13/8. Seen on a shelf (in Whitby): Tea and Biscuits Mild 3.5% Malted barley, lactose sugar, malted wheat, tea, hops, yeast. BB March '18, so presumably knocking on a bit. Although I'm an inveterate Ticketybrew-spotter, I didn't buy it; this was partly because I was about to head off on a walk but mainly because the shop was charging £3 for it (as they were for just about everything else on the shelves). I'm used to paying over £2 for Tb's small bottles (although it's always nice when you can get them for under £2), but £3 – for a 3.5%er – was a step too far. Possibly the good people of Whitby felt similarly, which is why those bottles were still on the shelf.


Mayor Kenney signed the bill yesterday.
According to Julia Terruso writing here at Philly.com, Mayor Kenney signed the bill after receiving an 11-page opinion from City Solicitor Sozi Tulante, in which he concluded that its ok to ban employers from inquiring about applicant salary history. Prior to issuing the 11-page opinion, business groups had warned the City that this law would violate the First Amendment.
But, will business groups file a lawsuit? Unclear.
Legalities aside, I encourage you to check out this story over from Fabiola Cineas at Philadelphia Magazine about how this type of legislation, which is designed to help eliminate the gender-wage gap, can actually increase it. (Much like some studies on ban the box laws show that they may harm the people that they are intended to benefit).
One of the common concerns is that, without salary-history information, employers may guess about salary history — and guess low. Consequently, the salary offer at the new job may be correspondingly lower than it otherwise would have been.
But, this is largely a moot point now. Unless the law gets overturned, it will take effect in Philadelphia on May 23, 2017.

Dean Jones says all of Karachi Kings' foreign stars will rejoin PSL 2020
PSL 2020: Karachi Kings head coach Dean Jones says that both foreign and local players are available to play the remainder of the tournament.
Karachi Kings head coach Dean Jones on Thursday indicated that all of the overseas and local players of the franchise will be available for the playoffs of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020.
With the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) recent announcement over rescheduling the four remaining PSL matches in November, many fans wondered if the spectacle would be held with out without its foreign stars.
In a post on Twitter, Jones said that his charges, both foreign and domestic, will likely be available to participate in the matches scheduled from November 14-17.
As of yet, it is unconfirmed whether foreign players from other franchises are available.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Occurs Frequently When The Child Is Sleeping With An Adult
The news story that is the subject of this blog entry reports on a study that found more than half of babies who died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, died while they were sleeping with an adult. The scientists do not know why.
This story belongs in the Scientists R Stoopid section because the babies are dying from being energy sucked by the adults. Stoopid Western Scientists do not believe in what is commonly referred to as "the energy of the human body" so of course they cannot comprehend the manner or the reason why an adult would suck the life energy out of a baby to the point of causing it's death
The complete news article is reprinted below.
More than half of sudden infant deaths reviewed in a study released Wednesday occurred while the babies shared a bed or sofa with a parent.
The incidence of so-called sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, increased when the adult "co-sleeping" with the infant had recently consumed alcohol or drugs, the study found.
SIDS entered the medical vocabulary some 40 years ago to describe cases in which babies, mainly two to six months old, died for reasons that defied explanation.
Since then, research has identified several SIDS risk factors related to behaviour.
Sleeping on the tummy rather than on the back, for example, was far more likely to lead to an otherwise unexplained deaths. Soft objects such as pillows in a baby's crib, along with mothers who smoke, were also associated with a higher number of deaths.
Public awareness campaigns in many developed countries have cut death rates by more than half — from about 1-in-800 live births to less than 1-in-2,000 — over the last two decades.
But questions remained about how to account for this dwindling number of cases, and whether they occur more frequently in some sectors of society than others.
To help find answers, a team of researchers led by Peter Fleming of St Michael's Hospital in Bristol, Britain, studied the 80 unexplained SIDS cases that occurred in southwestern England from 2003 through 2006.
They compared them with two other control groups, one with 82 "high risk" infants of smoking, socially-deprived, single mothers with two or more kids, and the other with 87 babies from randomly selected families.
Of the SIDS infants, 54 percent died while co-sleeping with a parent.
"Much of this excess may be explained by a significant… interaction between co-sleeping at recent parental use of alcohol or drugs," the researchers said.
In the two control groups, the rate of co-sleeping was about 20 percent.
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, also noted that one fourth of the infants who died were swaddled, and one fifth used a pillow, a far higher percentage than in either control group.
Socioeconomic deprivation did not seem to be a factor.
"The dangers of this combination of behaviours are, for the first time, convincingly shown in this study," Edwin Mitchell, a professor at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, noted in a commentary, also in the BMJ.
"We have learnt that SIDS is largely preventable," he continued, calling for better parental education.

The owner of a local business informed his close associate, the business' operations manager, that he intended to sell the business. After much discussion, they agreed that the operations manager would pursue the purchase of the business. The current owner then drafted a rough outline of the transaction that spelled out basic deal terms.
Those initial terms were not advantageous to the operations manager. Concerned about this, he contacted Allan Peiser, CPA, to assist him with protecting his financial interests throughout this transaction and helping him facilitate a financially attractive deal.
Although the initial "back-of-the-napkin" deal terms put the prospective owner at an early disadvantage, Allan's thorough analysis and steady guidance over the course of the entire six-week transactional period was instrumental in facilitating a successful transaction—one that, in the end, proved financially and structurally advantageous for the client.

Philosopher, political theorist, and public intellectual
Achille Mbembe was born near Otélé in French Cameroons in 1957. He obtained his Ph.D. in history at the University of Sorbonne in Paris, France, in 1989. He subsequently obtained a D.E.A.in political science at the Instituts d'études politiques in the same city. He has held appointments at Columbia University in New York, Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, Duke University and Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) in Dakar, Senegal.[1] He is currently a research professor in history and politics at Harvard University's W. E. B. Dubois Research Institute.[4]
His main research topics are African history, Postcolonial Studies and politics and social science. Although he is called a postcolonial theorist, namely due to the title of his first English book, he has thoroughly rejected this label more recently,[9] because he sees his project as one of both acceptance and transcendence of difference, rather than of return to an original, marginal, non-metropolitan homeland.
Mbembe's most important works are: Les jeunes et l'ordre politique en Afrique noire (1985);[10] La naissance du maquis dans le Sud-Cameroun (1920–1960);[11] Histoire des usages de la raison en colonie (1996);[12] De la postcolonie. Essai sur l'imagination politique dans l'Afrique contemporaine (On the Postcolony) (2000);[13] Sortir de la grande nuit: Essai sur l'Afrique décolonisée (2003);[14] Critique de la raison nègre (2013).[15]
His central work, On the Postcolony, was translated into English and released by University of California Press in 2001.[13] This work has also been republished in an African edition by Wits University Press, and contains a new preface by Achille Mbembe. In this text Mbembe argues that academic and popular discourse on Africa is caught within a variety of cliches tied to Western fantasies and fears.[16] Following Frantz Fanon and Sigmund Freud, Mbembe holds that this depiction is not a reflection of a real Africa but an unconscious projection tied to guilt, disavowal, and the compulsion to repeat. Like James Ferguson, V.Y.

The Taylor Henderson Act
August 5, 2018 Michael Volpe 2 Citizen Bill Ideas, State Legislation,
I worked on a story with a New Hampshire woman going through a divorce nightmare in Oklahoma. In this story, I found the judge, Tulsa Special District Judge J Anthony Miller, refused to recuse himself even though he went to law school with a litigant and acted as an informal mediator earlier on in the case, forced a pro se litigant, Tanya Hathaway, to continue even after suffering a panic attack, forcing her appearance while she recovered from the panic attack with a subpoena, and finally, in a most Orwellian manner, he made a ruling on the case before he heard testimony.
Along with writing the article, I submitted a formal complaint against him with the Oklahoma Council on Judicial Conduct (COJC). The COJC Administrative Director then wrote a letter stating in part, "Although the allegations you've detailed are of great concern, it was the Council's determination that the conduct you described does not fall into the statutorily provided categorizes it is authorized to address." When I asked Ms. Taylor for an explanation, she repeated the three-member panel did not find any violations of the Oklahoma Code on Judicial Conduct."
It's a tactic used by bureaucrats so often I refer to it as "name, rank, serial number." I realized then and there that the COJC is corrupt and in desperate need of a full audit. I believe that most states judicial oversight boards are equally corrupt and equally in need of an audit. The evidence suggests that in Florida that's the case; the Judicial Qualification Commission (JQC) rarely holds judges accountable; here's part of a 2015 story from The Orlando Sentinel: "Central Florida judges are rarely suspended."
According to a December 2015 white paper by the Florida Legislature Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability, in fy 2010-2011, there were 621, 2011-2012 659 complaints, fy 2012-2013 618 complaints, fy 2013-2014 684 complaints, and fy 2014-2015, 771 complaints, and formal action was taken in 4,4,2,4,9 in each of those years. Either there are a lot of frivolous complaints, or the Florida JQC protects bad judges from litigants.
Call for a Full Audit of Florida's Judicial Qualifications Commission.
The audit- with subpoena power- would be run out of the State Legislature, specifically originating from the Florida State Senate Judiciary Committee and Florida House Judiciary Committee.
In California, that state's legislature approved a historic audit of its Council on Judicial Performance. "The CJP admits that less than 2% of all complaints filed by average California litigants or their family and friends have resulted in the discipline of our state's judges, in a 20 year report. This is a disturbing statistic that proves the need to reform the state's only judicial oversight agency, which was created back in 1961 in large part to "protect the public." The CJP is clearly failing in its mission." Said the Center for Judicial Excellence, one of the chief proponents of the audit.
Ms. Henderson also noted of the Freedom of Information Act: "The Oklahoma Open Records Act is the State of Oklahoma's equivalent to the federal Freedom of Information Act to which you reference.
The Audit:
The audit there was created by the legislature and that would be a model.
The audit will look at several things, Florida's budget, rules, standards and procedures. specifically:
1) complaint review process,
2) case outcomes, and
3) how it evaluates evidence and witnesses.
4) How many complaints each judge had
5) How often action was taken for each judge
The auditor will be created by a joint committee of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. The auditor will have subpoena power and will have access to each complaint and investigation over the last ten years.
The Taylor Henderson Act.
Clause 1:
Pursuant to Title 51, Section 24A.3.2 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the Council on Judicial Complaints is specifically exempted from the Oklahoma Open Records Act and its records are not subject to public inspection."
The Florida JQC will be governed by applicable Florida FOIA laws.
Previous: The Citizens Only Census Act of 2018.
Next: Mandatory Prenuptial Agreement

Michael Volpe says:
Here's the most recent version based on your notes.

Ms. Henderson also noted of the Freedom of Information Act: "The Oklahoma Open Records Act is the State of Oklahoma's equivalent to the federal Freedom of Information Act to which you reference. Pursuant to Title 51, Section 24A.3.2 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the Council on Judicial Complaints is specifically exempted from the Oklahoma Open Records Act and its records are not subject to public inspection."
I made a couple small changes. Let me know if this works or if more work needs to be done.
Along with writing the article, I submitted a formal complaint against him with the Oklahoma Council on Judicial Conduct (COJC). The COJC Administrative Director, Taylor Henderson, then wrote a letter stating in part, "Although the allegations you've detailed are of great concern, it was the Council's determination that the conduct you described does not fall into the statutorily provided categorizes it is authorized to address."
Either there are a lot of frivolous complaints, or the Florida JQC protects bad judges from litigants. An audit would provide transparency. Judicial oversight investigations by the JQC and other oversight boards are done in secret, the complainant is given little more than a letter, and bureaucrats like Henderson don't give any more information when any more contact is made.
An audit brings transparency, accountability, and oversight to the process.
The audit there was created by the legislature and that would be a model. An audit would provide transparency. Judicial oversight investigations

GREAT NEWS IN THE DRAFT EQUIPMENT'S WORLD: CELLI GROUP ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF THREE NEW BRANCHES IN GERMANY, THE U.S.A AND BRAZIL
Notwithstanding limitations and the current pandemic resulting from Covid -19, the Celli Group continues its consolidation process in the draft equipment's world at an international level
TAG: BEER WATER BUSINESS INDUSTRY CELLI GROUP
The Celli Group has announced the opening of three new branches in Germany, the U.S.A and Brazil.
Already present in the UK, and with further two branches in Singapore and Moscow, the Celli Group continues to invest in the draft equipment global market consolidating its leadership position and its brand identity, despite the current pandemic and economic setback due to Covid -19.
The new European branch, in Dusseldorf, which provides for the opening of offices and a logistics warehouse, is part of a strategic market in which the company has been present for some time in all product categories (beer, soft drinks and water). It is also where Celli already has a network of high-level commercial employees. Celli Deutschland will bring further added value to the Group's business, in particular by allowing it to offer a new range of products specifically designed for the German market. This includes the development of the Acqua Alma brand in the world of drinking water dispensing and the implementation of innovative technical assistance services that the Group offers.
The opening of Celli North America, in the state of New York, will support the acceleration of growth in the world's leading beverage market. This will see Celli placed alongside the most significant multinationals in the sector as a strategic partner on technologically innovative projects. Thanks to commercial, logistic and production expansion plans, as well as technical assistance services, the American market will benefit from the high level of innovation of the Group's dedicated drinks dispensing solutions based on IOT systems and data analytics. This will work on proprietary algorithms already developed and consolidated in various countries around the world.
The third branch, Celli Latam, was opened in São Paulo in Latin America. This is a market in which Celli is already a leader. This opening in Brazil will give the Group an opportunity to be closer to its customers, guaranteeing support for structured growth, and will be managed by the Celli sales staff already present in South America. They will be able to rely on a consolidated network of distributors.
"We are going through one of the most difficult periods in our recent history" - said Mauro Gallavotti, CEO of the Celli Group – "but we are convinced that it is precisely in these times of crisis that it is necessary to invest in order to build competitive advantages for the future. It is a matter of vision and courage. International expansion has always been part of the Group's DNA and the opening of these three branches is a fundamental strategic step. The post-Covid 19 restart has only one pathway: to resume and continue to invest in sustainability. Consuming drinks dispensed is, and will continue to be, far more sustainable than the consumption of bottled drinks. And this is true at any historical moment, for all consumers all over the world ".
The Celli Group, leader in design, engineering and production of beverage dispensing systems for over 40 years, exports its products to over 100 countries around the world. The Group achieved pro-forma turnover of around 130 million euros in 2019, achieved thanks to strong growth, both organic and through acquisitions in Italy and the UK. The Group has also developed the most advanced IOT platform for beverage dispensing systems in-house, which allows you to remotely monitor the performance of all draught systems in real time in order to manage consumption and operation.
The innovative IoT platform Intelliwater for the remote management of installations is already used in the soft-drink and draft equipment. Through this technology, it is possible to monitor in real time the status of installations, consumption, offer management, promotions, prices and payments, promptly and effectively managing service and maintenance on all the machines installed. This is an efficient solution from a management stand point but above all from an eco-suistanable one. The use of microfiltered water installations, in fact, not only avoids the expensive bottling processes but also transportation and distribution costs. Celli is the high-quality, customizable and eco-sustainable brand of draft equipment dedicated to on-the-go beverage consumption.
Cosmetal, global leader in Italy and Europe in the manufacturing of drinking water dispensers, has the goal of revolutionizing how we consume water on the go, starting from the concept that the future of our planet depends on a more sustainable use of plastic by the beverage sector and by making single-use bottles obsolete. Now, this goal involves also the new Celli Group branches all around the world. The Group commits to revolutionize the drinking water consumption experience and digitalize the water consumption, by spreading a loud and clear high-impact message: "Don't recycle, refill". This is needed because recycling is no longer sufficient: more must be done through solutions such as refilling.
These company expansions follow the previous acquisitions of the Celli Group, which led to its great success. MF Refrigeration was the fourth acquisition in Great Britain for Celli, after those of ADS2, specialized in the design of custom and design columns for beer tapping (2015); Angram Ltd, a Yorkshire company specializing in the production of traditional pump dispensing systems for beers, purchased through ADS2 (2017); FJE Plastic Development Ltd, an English company specializing in injection molding whose systems allow a controlled use of recycled plastics (March 2018). Then, in 2016 Celli took over Cosmetal, the Marche-based company specializing in the production of solutions for the supply of drinking water.
To plan, manage and deliver all of the new complex projects will be a real challenge, but the strong determination shown by our teams around the world encapsulates our belief that success requires us to think big, act decisively and face challenges head on
The new Group identity is getting stronger and the Company is perfectly placed to respond to all of the challenges and opportunities ahead.

RUDN students reach the final of the VII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN"
10 days to study and solve real problems of the fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes, brainstorming and teamwork hours, 6 minutes to present and defend the project: more than 100 RUDN students participated in the selection round of the VII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". 3 teams that developed the best projects according to the jury will represent RUDN in the finals of the CASE-IN championship, held in Moscow in late May.
How to find deposits of diamonds and oil and how to develop the field - the CASE-IN championship became a test of professional strength and creativity for students of RUDN Engineering Academy. 19 teams presented case studies on the topic "Digital Transformation" in three areas - "Geological exploration", "Mining", and "Oil and gas business".
10 days before the qualifying stage, teams received assignments to develop solutions for real-world cases taking into account all their nuances and difficulties. The participants of the Geological Exploration direction came up with ideas for finding diamonds in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Mining - for developing diamond deposits, Oil and Gas Engineering - with a project to develop an oil field.
"In Yakutia, near the town of Mirny, there is a diamond deposit, which has a complex location. Taking into account all the conditions – both climatic and geographical - you need to choose how to work there, how to get these diamonds. We chose underground method, it is much more efficient and environmentally friendly. Taking into account the fact that the field is located near the river, which flows into the reservoir, it was necessary to exclude its pollution, as it provides water to the city. Therefore, underground mining is the surest way with no extra economic and labor costs," said the captain of the Underground Navigators team, Akbar Doskalov.
Students' ideas were assessed by experts - managers and specialists of industry companies and organizations, including the Rosgeologiya Holding, Micromine Rus LLC, Tatneft PJSC, NTC Tatneft LLC, the Union of Surveyors of Russia, ANO Subsoil Use Audit and Consulting, LLC "Geotechnologies", Institute of Geology of Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Central Research Geological Prospecting Institute of Nonferrous and Noble Metals, and Institute of Oil and Gas Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"This year the case for the qualifying round turned out to be difficult, but interesting. The participants were given a vast field for proposing new ideas, technologies and calculating the economic indicators of the proposed solutions. The teams prepared well-developed solutions that were interesting to study and evaluate, " commented Zaur Davletov, expert in the field of oil and gas business, researcher at Tatneft.

Honoring Martin & Frances Burns – From Their Great-Grandson
My Trip to Long Island National Cemetery
We are all descended from thousands of people. However, we don't get to know all of them. For the ones we do get to know, there are some that we actually get to spend time with and there are others that we get to know through stories. Here is the story of my great-grandparents Martin and Frances Burns through the lens of their great-grandson, Shane Martin Oxendine.
By: Shane M. Oxendine
Everyone in the family always had good things to say about Martin.
They said that he was smart and that he was the sweetest man that they had ever met.
A true gentleman.
I'm proud to have his name as my middle name because it drives me to be a kind-hearted person just like he was.
Even though I never met him, I'm thankful for him and the picture that people painted of him. I honestly believe that he was a great man and I admire the way that he treated the people that I love today.
Nanny was also such a great person. She loved me very much and she always made sure that I knew it. There was never a day around her where I didn't feel loved. I remember that she would always say that I reminded her of her husband. She always said that I was lucky to have some of his attributes.
Nanny also always made sure that I had nice stuff. I remember that she would always buy me new clothes.
SHE ALSO ALWAYS MADE SURE I HAD A CLEAN PAIR OF SOCKS TO WEAR. She would ask me almost every day if I needed socks because she knew it was important to me. She also said she didn't want me to have "stinky feet" and that would always make us laugh.
I loved her so much.
She was always a sweet, beautiful person to me. She never once got mad at me or treated me badly. All she did was love me. She is a big reason why I take my family seriously. She showed me how to love my family without me even knowing it back then.
She also had a laugh that was really funny. I had to get a portrait of an angel tattooed on me with her name above it simply because she was an angel when she was alive and when she passed.
I'll never forget her.
I'll always love her and I'll always miss her.
I've never met anyone like her and I probably never will again. I know that her and Martin are now together up in Heaven, and that's what she wanted in the last of her time.
It's depressing but she made that very clear. She loved him more than life itself.
I admire her for everything that she was. She was such a great person.
I promised you that I would take you to see them and one day soon we will.

Honoring Our Fallen Heroes – Ed Murphy
For awhile, I lived in Farmingdale, New York, which is the location of what is known as Pinelawn, a collection of cemeteries in the area, including Long Island National Cemetery, one of the largest national cemeteries in the country with over 346,000 interments. This final resting place of many of our country's departed veterans is also the resting place of a number of my family's ancestors.
In this first installment of "Honoring Our Fallen Heroes," I am going to cover the life of Freeport native, and U.S. Navy Veteran, Edward James Murphy, my wife's great-grandfather.
Ed Murphy (as his family knew him) was born on April 29, 1913 in Brooklyn, New York. His parents, William Joseph Murphy and Margaret Mary Shalvoy had a total of 10 children and eventually settled in Freeport, a populous coastal community on Long Island's South Shore.
William and Margaret Murphy with their first 5 children: Ray, Ed, and Bill (top row) and Marge and Joe (bottom row) Source: Shalvoy/Scollin Family Research Committee
The family consisted of 8 boys and 2 girls with Ed and his older brother Bill at the helm. Talk about lots of protection for their 2 sisters.
Both Ed and Bill attended Freeport High School and played football there as evidenced by this 1929 team photo.
Special thanks to the Freeport Memorial Library and New York Heritage Digital Collection for allowing me to find this gem.
Close-up of Bill and Ed. I believe this was Bill's senior and Ed's junior season. Must have been awesome playing together. I wonder what their positions were.
By 1930, you can see the entire family unit living in Freeport: William, Margaret, William, Edward, Raymond, Margaret, Joseph, Richard, John, Mary, and Robert. That's a lot of Murphys!
On November 25, 1935, Ed married Lorraine Lehmann in Brookyln, New York. I have not yet been able to obtain a copy of their marriage certificate.
By 1940, Ed is still in Freeport living with his wife Lorraine and daughter Mary Lou. He is listed as working as a "Beer/Ales Salesman." My guess is that this means he either worked for a liquor store or a beer distributor.
A few years thereafter, Ed enlisted in the United States Navy towards the end of World War II. According to this photo, Ed Murphy completed his training in Great Lakes, Illinois. This photo was found on Find A Grave and I am not sure of its original source.
In the Navy, Ed served as a "storekeeper." The term no longer in use, a storekeeper was responsible for maintaining a ship's military supply store. They were responsible for purchasing, procurement, shipping and receiving, and issuing equipment, tools, and essentially anything else they had in stock. I am very interested to see exactly what he did during the war and where exactly he was stationed during that time.
Unfortunately, Ed Murphy did not live much longer after serving in World War II. At the young age of 35, Edward James Murphy passed away at Meadowbrook Hospital in the Town of Hempstead leaving behind his entire family.
From The Nassau Daily Review-Star, Tuesday, July 3, 1948, Page 9.
From The Nassau Daily Review-Star, July 6, 1948, Page 17.
Thanks to Find A Grave and the Veterans Affairs Nationwide Gravesite Locator, our deceased veterans are easier to find more than ever. On Saturday, March 26, 2016, I took my wife to visit both of her great-grandfathers that are buried at Long Island National Cemetery. We don't know the last time someone was there to visit him, but as we always do, we left a rock on top of his headstone to make sure that others know he will always be remembered.
Edward James Murphy – we salute you and thank you so very much for your service to this great country during World War II. You were taken from us way too young, but we hope you will be remembered forever.
As always, keep on digging.

#52Ancestors is a campaign challenging family history researchers to write the story of one ancestor per week for each week of the year. I was only able to get to 6 ancestors.
