Ellerslie cricket club

Ellerslie Cricket Club's home ground: Michael's Avenue Reserve (Viewing from Club Rooms)

Ellerslie Cricket Club (inc.) was formed in 1922 at a location known as Michaels Avenue Reserve, Auckland. The club has had some well-known players come to play for them in the past. Some include Ole Mortensen and English Internationals, Devon Malcolm and Wilf Slack. The home-grown legends include Bill "Chook" Fowler, Martin Pringle and umpire Barry Frost.

Ellerslie Cricket Club has 9 Senior Men's sides and 1 Ladies side and a roster of over 150 junior players. The club's mascot is the great racehorse Bonecrusher (known as the Pride of Ellerslie). The club colours are Black and Gold. The playing season is from October to March. The clubrooms are located above the YMCA on Michaels Avenue and are shared with Ellerslie Soccer Club.

Current

Until the 2005/2006 season Ellerslie's first team played in the First Grade of the Auckland Cricket Club Competition. As a part of restructuring of the Auckland Club Cricket, Ellerslie first grade team merged with Auckland University Cricket Club's first grade and collectively had two teams playing in Premier and Premier Reserve Grade respectively. This merge of Ellerslie first grade with Auckland University's first grade was for a 4-year lock in period.

Ellerslie now has stand alone sides in both the Premier and Premier Reserve grades.

Junior cricket

Over the years Ellerslie has always suffered from a moving population which made it hard to gain junior cricketers and keep them through to senior level.

Going by photo's taken of teams in the 1920s the club had real strength and again in the 1950s. In the 70's a new influx of youth joined the club as it was critical by ACA rules that all clubs must foster junior cricket.

It is usually left up to a few keen parents to ensure the kids are looked after and coached properly and the club has been lucky to have them. People like Roy Schnauer, John Molesworth, Dave Cosgrove, Harold Butler, Wayne Young and many more were assisted by regular club members over the years.


Ellerslie cricket club

During the 90's Kevin Williams took over the mantel and has run the Junior section without fault. He has raised the junior membership to figures never realised in the past and has gained sponsorship for all teams. As a result of all his hard work the club is now seeing the youth moving into the grades and staying with the club.

Also the Junior Club has never had so many reps in both the district squads and playing for Auckland, this can only be a plus for the club in the future.

Ladies cricket

Like junior cricket it has always been a tough assignment to get a Ladies Team to be associated with the club but with winning comes recognition and in the early 80's Ellerslie gained a ready made team from ALHA made up of some very good cricketers including past NZ & Auckland reps.

This team played in the top Auckland grade and were very competitive as well as a lot of fun in the social aspect of the club with the guitar playing evenings etc.

The current plays in the Women's First grade. They have won the championship in 2004/2005 season. In 2005/2006 season they came close but lost in the final which saw them being placed second.

Jubilees

Ellerslie Cricket Club has celebrated two anniversaries over the past 20 years: the 60th in 1982 and 75th in 1997. Both occasions were special for the club bringing past members together and talking over past times and exploits.

Probably the most celebrated occasion was in 1982 when the Auckland Racing Club named a race after the club and the winner's photo is still displayed in the clubrooms.

The 75th was also a special night with past members coming from as far a field as Australia and The South Island.

Representatives

Over the years the club has had its share of players making representative level. The following are/were the rep players from Ellerslie (Apologies if anyone or the teams they have played in are missed):

Club professionals

When Ellerslie Cricket Club made the premiership grade they decided they needed a boost in player strength and coaching so it was decided to draw on the English County Professionals to help the club. The following is a list of the players (and a profile on their ability) who have graced the Ellerslie Club:

  * Wilf Slack, Left Hand Batsman & Medium Pace Bowler. Wilf played for Middlesex and England.
  * Ian Gould, Right Hand Batsman and Wicket keeper. Ian played for Middlesex, Auckland & England.
  * Harry "Bhuna" Bliss: English Club player and future international hopeful.

  * Devon Malcolm, Fast Right Arm Bowler. Devon played for Derbyshire and England.
  * Harshad Patel, Right Hand Batsman.
  * Bradley Parker, Right Hand Batsman. Bradley played in the Yorkshire League

There are of course many others who paid their own way out to play for Ellerslie during their off season.

Personalities

Over the years the club has had many personalities through its ranks but some were to become or were more famous than just cricketers.

* Roger Douglas: Politician, Minister of Finance
  * David Curtis: Pop Star
  * Doug Cowie: NZ Cricket Umpire.
  * Avi 'Beam' Singh: The heart and sole of Ellerslie Cricket Club in the 2010s. It is rumoured that Avi once batted for 5 hours in 30 degree heat to save a crucial two-day match, declining to have any water at each drinks break as he "hadn't earned it".

One thing about this club over the years is it has had many personalities, not as famous as those mentioned above but real personalities in their own right. Unfortunately for the readers' sake it is not possible to pass on the reasons.

Club history

As far as records show and from photos of earlier teams The Ellerslie Cricket Club was up and running in the early 1920s playing in the Auckland City & Suburban competition. There proof that there was a wicket at the Ellerslie Gardens, now the Auckland Racing Club and an All England Eleven played an Auckland Twenty Two in 1877, so the club says if there was a wicket why not a cricket club?

The name of such a club is not known but the money is on it being "The Ellerslie Cricket Club".

The Roaring Twenties

Given all the facts, it is known the club existed in the 1920s and was very strong playing in the City & Suburban Competition.

One famous name that appears in the photos is Charlie Kerr. Charlie was a great spinner and many say if he had played in the ACA competition he would have played for Auckland and maybe New Zealand but Charlie was a loyal C&S man and later played for the Greenlane Cricket Club up until the mid Nineties which made him a very mature cricketer indeed.

Not much more is known about the club in those days but there are photos and a picture speaks a thousand words.

The Fifties & Sixties

The next era there is any history on, starts in the 1950s and this to is made up of photo's and some history related by some old time residents in Ellerslie but it is all very sketchy.


Ellerslie cricket club

The club did cater for some very useful schoolboy cricketers in the late Fifties namely Rex Hooton who later went on to play for Northern Districts, Auckland and in later years coached Auckland. There is also John Wiltshire who went on to play for and captain Auckland.

The Club played out of The Ellerslie Domain in those days as Michaels Ave was just a gorse covered swamp but hard work and dedication by a loyal team helped by the Ellerslie Borough Council transformed it into an excellent sports field over many years. It was and still is shared by the Ellerslie Football Club and between them they purchased and located an old US Army building which became their clubrooms until 1979.

During these years the club had just two Saturday Teams plus a Junior Team playing in the ACA within the Eastern Districts Association and enjoyed a good competition with clubs like Panmure, Mt Wellington, St Heliers and Parnell. They also had a very social Sunday team and every Sunday saw a huge picnic atmosphere at the Ave with cricket being the secondary fixture.

Stalwarts of the club were John and June Molesworth and through their hard work the clubs Saturday Teams flourished and later in the Sixties the club gained much needed new blood & went from strength to strength into the 1970s.

The Seventies

This decade saw the club move from a mid grade club playing good cricket through to the ACA Premiership Competition in just 9 seasons.

Ellerslie Cricket Club started the Seventies with a strong committee dedicated to getting to the top and each year its overall player strength built up with players like Ross Hackett and Steve Chapman: two very good players from Australia. Ross played for NSW Juniors in his early years.

Other players to strengthen the club in the early 1970s were Alan & John Verral, Ian Rout, Graeme Atkinson and many others.

In the 1973/74 season Ellerslie won the ACA Major Club Championship for clubs with 4 or more teams in their ranks which was a great feather in its cap because from then on everyone sat up and respected Ellerslie as a club of the future.

That same year Ellerslie gained the services of Malcolm Beach from the Eden Roskill club and Stu McKay both very good spin bowlers and along with the talents of Steve Chapman and Blain Mahood both medium/fast bowlers. Ellerslie was starting to make heads turn.


Ellerslie cricket club

During the 1976/77 season the then Secretary of the ACA Mr Quinton Baddelly introduced promotion relegation twice a year and this timed in very well with Ellerslie's performances on and off the field and by winning each grade Ellerslie entered both at Christmas and at season's end they were knocking on the Premiership door.

This was starting to upset some of the old boys in the ACA but too late because in the 1978/79 season Ellerslie won its way into the ACA Premiership Competition and its First A side won their way into the ACA Senior A Competition.

Ellerslie was the first club to actually win its way into the premiership in decades as other clubs like Takapuna & Howick Pakuranga were installed in the premiership purely on club numbers. Ellerslie won its way in by winnings and were proud of it.

The Eighties

The club really started to grow & with the promotion to the Premiership competition. Ellerslie gained the services of two outstanding English professionals, Wilf Slack, a stylish left hand opening batsmen and medium pace bowler who was West Indian and Ian Gould an excellent wicketkeeper and right hand batsman. Both Wilf & Ian hailed from the Middlesex County Cricket Club 2nd XI but in future years would both move on and play for England.

Ellerslie took the field in their first Premiership match against Suburbs New Lynn in a one-day match up against current Auckland and New Zealand players Peter Webb & John Reid. Ellerslie won that match and this was the start of some very good years in the 1980s.

Under the captaincy of, first, Malcolm Beach and then Bill Fowler, the team progressed into a formidable cricket team gaining respect within the cricket community. Even though Ellerslie struggled some seasons while in their building stages, it never finished last in either the One or Two Day Competitions.

The 1983/84 season was the turning point for the club when it finished


Ellerslie cricket club

* 2nd in the Major Club Championship,
  * 1st in the HEC MEMORIAL ROSEBOWL (best premier run rate)
  * 3rd Grade won THE OPOTIKI CUP winning the grade,
  * 4th and one day 1 pennant winners for 1st round wins
  * and the highlight of the season when the Premiers won the
  * LION BREWERIES CUP for the ONE DAY FINAL win over Papatoetoe on the last ball of the day at Eden Park No 1.

This was the year of big, mean Ole (Stan) Mortenson: Ellerslie's English professional from Derbyshire. Stan was a fast bowler and hailed from Denmark; he terrified many a batsman and umpire alike.

Other notable players of the day were the old sea dog Alan Hill and the young brigade of Martin Pringle, Martin Bradley, Mark Sumich, John McGregor & Mark Keogh who were to be the nucleus of the team for many years to come under the captaincy of Bill (chook) Fowler.

This was not to be the last of Ellerslie's successes as they went on to win the ACA 2 DAY PREMIERSHIP title in the 1985/86 season and probably the main reason for this was a good all round team spearheaded by Devon Malcolm a very fast right arm bowler and another West Indian playing out of the Derbyshire County Club in England. Devon also moved on to play for England and took many wickets at test level.

This win was very exciting as once again Papatoetoe were Ellerslie's main rival with only 4.28 points separating the two teams going into the last match of the season but an outright victory over University saw Ellerslie through to its first major premiership title.

As well the Senior A also won the PRESIDENTS CUP as winners of the Senior A competition making the 1985/86 season the most successful in the history of the Ellerslie Cricket Club.

Other One Day Championship titles were collected in 1986/87 over Takapuna, 1989/90 over Suburbs New Lynn and 1991/92 over Cornwall.


Ellerslie cricket club

Ellerslie also played in the Premiership final against Grafton in a 3-day match at Eden Park but were outclassed on this occasion but finishing 2nd was no mean feat. Sadly a number of Ellerslie's premier players retired in the early nineties leaving a big gap to fill but it has had many fine performances since, with still many more to come.

As well as the contribution given by all the players over this period to gain such successes it would not have been possible without the undying presence of Frank (Bomber) Lancaster: the Premier Teams scorer. Bomber has hardly missed a game and is still turning up wet or fine to score for the team he has cared for, for over 20 years. Now that is dedication.

The Nineties

This decade started well but as mentioned, the retirement of some of Ellerslie's established players saw the club go back into a rebuilding mode and even though it had not gained great heights, the club has been steady. Financial woes affected the club like many other sports clubs in the later part of the decade. The ongoing committees have worked hard to fix the problems.

The Millennium

As is, of most sports, the success of the club is gauged on the top team and unfortunately due to a restructure by the ACA the Premier Team was relegated in early 2000s to a new grade called 1st grade with promotion relegation. Ellerslie is now (2006/2007 season) back in the Premier grade after Ellerslie's top team merged with Auckland University's first grade.

Going into season 2010/11 thanks to hard work from the committee the club is now once again a stand-alone Premier Club.

Cibyra Minor

Cibyra (Greek: Κιβύρα) also referred to as Cibyra MinorCibyra Magna, was a town in ancient Pamphylia. Strabo, after mentioning Side, says, "...and near it is the coast of the little Cibyratae, and then the river Melas, and a station for ships".Manavgat River, 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Side. But there could have been no city between Side and the Melas, and it is conjectured that in Strabo's text, the coast ("Paralia") of the Cibyratae should come after the Melas. The vestiges of Cibyra are probably those observed by Captain Beaufort upon a height which rises from the right bank of a considerable river about 8 miles (13 km) to the eastward of the Melas, about 4 miles (6.4 km) to the west of Cape Karáburun, and nearly 2 miles (3.2 km) from the shore.Ptolemy mentions this Cibyra among the inland towns of Cilicia Trachea; but Scylax places it on the coast. There is a place, Cyberna (Κυβέρνη), mentioned in the Stadiasmus, which is placed 59 stadia east of the Melas. If the conjecture as to Strabo's text is correct, we may identify Cyberna with this Cibyra of Pamphylia.

Coos River

The Coos River flows for about 5 miles (8.0 km) into Coos Bay along the Pacific coast of southwest Oregon in the United States.South Fork Coos River and the Millicoma River, it drains an important timber-producing region of the Southern Oregon Coast Range.Coos Bay.

The river is the largest tributary of Coos Bay, which at about 10,000 acres (4,000 ha) is the largest estuary that lies entirely within Oregon.15 miles (24 km)—curving east, north, and west of the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend and passing by the communities of Barview and Charleston—meets the ocean.

Most of the Coos River watershed of 730 square miles (1,900 km2) is in Coos County, but 147 square miles (380 km2) are in eastern Douglas County. percent of the basin.

The river supports populations of chinook and coho salmon, Pacific lamprey,western brook lamprey,shad, steelhead, and coastal cutthroat trout. Since public river-bank access is limited, fishing is often done by boat.

Course

Flowing west from the confluence of the South Fork Coos River and the Millicoma River, the Coos River is bordered by Oregon Route 241 (Coos River Highway) on the right and Coos River Road on the left. Downstream from its source, the river receives Noah Creek from the right 4 miles (6.4 km) from the river mouth. Curving south, the river receives Vogel Creek and then Lillian Creek, both from the left, before passing under Chandler Bridge, which carries Route 241 from the right bank to the left bank about 2 miles (3 km) from the mouth. The river then turns west and north as it enters the bay and splits into two distributaries separated by a marsh. The Cooston Channel, which is on the right, continues north around the west side of the marsh for about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the mouth. The left-hand channel almost immediately merges with Catching Slough, which enters from the left and continues around the east side of the marsh to meet the Marshfield Channel of the bay.

Discharge


Coos River

Discharge

Estimates of the average discharge of the Coos River varies from 90 cubic feet per second (2.5 m3/s) in late summer to 5,500 cubic feet per second (160 m3/s) in February. Estimated extremes vary from a low of 50 cubic feet per second (1.4 m3/s) to a high of 100,000 cubic feet per second (2,800 m3/s).

Coosa darter

The Coosa darter (Etheostoma coosae) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is endemic to the eastern United States.

Description

The Coosa darter is a robust species of darter which can be identified by having a blunt snout with a small mouth. The spiny part of its dorsal fin is marked with bands of color and has a central red band along the whole of its length, although it does not possess the anterior ocellus found in many other species in the subgenus Ulocentra. Above and below this central band there are alternating clear and dark bans. In the soft-rayed part of the dorsal fin, the middle part of the membranes between each ray is red. The color of the body is yellow-olive, marked with 8-9 dark blotches located dorsally and on the flanks. The lower snout and the throat are pale green, while the anal fin and upper and lower lobes of the caudal fin are turquoise. The blotches along the flank have a slightly green hue.total length for this species is 7.2 centimetres (2.8 in), although the standard length of males is more commonly around 4.1 centimetres (1.6 in) and of females 3.9 centimetres (1.5 in).

Distribution

The Coosa darter is only found in the Coosa River system, which drains into Mobile Bay in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.

Habitat and biology


Coosa darter

Habitat and biology

The Coosa darter is found in rocky pools and nearby riffles of creeks and small to medium rivers, as well as in streams. It feeds mainly on the larvae of midge and blackfly larvae, with smaller amounts of cladocera, copepods, mayfly nymphs, and caddisfly larvae.flies, are more important in summer and crustaceans become more important in the winter. The Coosa darter is known to spawn from mid-March to mid-May. The female lays a single egg at a time, placing it in small cracks and crevices in wood, rocks, or other hard substrates. The male fertilizes the eggs as soon as they are laid. They may spawn in any position from horizontal to vertical.

Taxonomy

The Coosa darter was first formally described as Poecilichthys coosae in 1945 by the American ichthyologist Henry Weed Fowler (1878-1965) with the type locality given as a small creek in the Coosa River drainage within Cherokee County, Alabama, near the settlement of Chesterfield.

Status

The IUCN has listed this species as being of "Least Concern" because it has an extensive range in the Coosa River system, has a large total population size, and has numerous subpopulations. In general, the population trend seems stable and no major threats have been identified.

Looking to go 2-0, the Shock took to the field against the Quad City Steamwheelers on April 6, 2007 in front of yet another sold out crowd of 10,560 fans. The game started off slow for both teams due to sloppy play and numerous penalties on both teams. Only 13 total points were scored during the first quarter.

The rankings didn't lie, as both teams were neck and neck in scoring for three quarters when the Steamwheelers pulled away in the 4th by scoring 27 points, as opposed to the Shock's 18. Statistically, the Shock played the better game, and would have won, but Quad City capitalized on the Shock's four interceptions, two of them being end zone interceptions. Because of that, Coach Adam Shackleford benched starting quarterback Andrico Hines in the 4th quarter and put in backup quarterback Matt Gutierrez. For only the second time in franchise history, the Shock lost a home game, with the Steamwheelers beating them 60-45.

Looking to rebound from an unprecedented two straight losses, the Spokane Shock put on a show. QB Andrico Hines threw six touchdowns (17-31, 192 yards) without throwing an interception for the second consecutive week. The Renegades defense focused on WR Antwone Savage who was limited to only six receptions (his lowest total of the season) but still managed to haul in four touchdowns and 75 yards. As a result, Hines had to turn to receiver Andre Rector, who continued to improve from Week 3, The Shock's other receiver, Raul Vijil, had two touchdown receptions but left the game in the third quarter after spraining his ankle. The Spokane defense also put on a show. The Shock had several huge stops, which limited the Renegades to just 26 points. The secondary made outstanding contributions. In addition to the 5 pass breakups from Nygel Rogers and Alex Teems, the defense forced two turnovers (both interceptions by Rob Keefe, one being returned 13 yards for a touchdown) and made 26 tackles. This contrasted the previous week, in which the Shock allowed the Fusion to score 63 points, and they had 32 missed tackles.

The Blitz's offense made the most of their scoring opportunities converting on five of seven opportunities in the red zone, led by QB Denny Gile (18/37, 181 yards, 3 touchdowns). The Shock's offense countered with three touchdowns led by QB Andrico Hines (18/31, 168 yards, 2 touchdowns).

Shock Head Coach Adam Shackleford would not comment on the officiating in his post-game press conference.

Blitz WR Rennard Reynolds led the team in receptions (7) for 71 yards with two touchdowns. The Shock's receiving core, already decimated by injuries, had to call on Rob Keefe to play on both sides of the ball and ended up leading the team in receptions (6) for 38 yards.

In a game reminiscent of last season's championship run, the Shock pulled out the victory on the last play of the game with an 18-yard touchdown pass from QB Justin Rummell to WR Kelvin Dickens. Rummell's game-winning touchdown pass was set up after a beautiful 48 yard kick-off return by Antwone Savage.

With only :15 second left in the fourth quarter, the Coyotes marched down the field and capitalized with a one-yard punishing touchdown run by Tonae Martin that put them up by three points, 63-60. As the Shock lined up for the ensuing kick-off, Savage headed out to the field for the return, his only return of the game after being limited by a slight hamstring strain.

2007 Spokane Shock season

The defense of the Shock came through with several key stops, including newcomer Devon Parks who was selected as the ADT Defensive Player of the Game. Parks, who signed with the team on Thursday (the same day he arrived), was inserted into the starting line-up and came through with 5 total tackles (eight assists, one solo) including a four-yard sack on the first play of the game. DB Alex Teems had the difficult assignment of covering Hawks leading receiver Josh Richey but still managed to contribute key pass break-ups (with three) and led the team in tackles.

Richey, who was selected as the Schutt's Offensive Player of the Game, was the primary source of offense for the Hawks as he led the team in receptions (seven) and touchdowns (three). Teems, however, was able to shut down Richey, who did not have a single catch in the 4th quarter.

The offense of the Shock was once again led by the lethal Hines-Savage combination. Savage, who led the team in receptions, fell one reception short of breaking Charles Frederick's single-game record of 15. He also had a personal best in receiving yards for the season with 179, which also led the team, and contributed four touchdowns.

The Hawks defense put heavy pressure on Hines all night and came up with three sacks – including 1.5 from former Shock DL Chuck Jones. Hines, however, still managed to complete 74 percent of his passes (20/27) with 233 yards and five touchdowns.

K John Koker made a touchdown saving tackle in the 4th quarter on the 10 yard line but sustained a concussion.

After playing in only five games for the Shock, Parks already owns the club record for sacks in a season (6) breaking Neil Purvis' record (3.5) from last season.

2007 Spotless dispute

Supporters of the locked out workers picketing Spotless' offices in Wellington

The 2007 Spotless dispute was an industrial dispute between contracting company Spotless and 800 of their employeesNew Zealand and represented by the Service & Food Workers Union.

Lock out

The workers were locked out on July 12 after announcing rolling strikes were to start following the breakdown of employment agreement negotiations.

Employment Court case

The union took Spotless to the Employment Court, arguing that the lockout was illegal,

According to union spokesperson Alastair Duncan "More lost hours have been generated by Spotless in this one lockout, than the total lost hours of every other industrial dispute in our public hospitals over the past ten years,".

Settlement

After the lock out ended Spotless agreed to pay its workers a starting rate of $14.25 an hour, three dollars higher than the minimum wage, and the same wage paid by the three other contractors. New Zealand Herald journalist Simon Collins called the settlement "a breakthrough with potential flow-on effects for thousands of other low-wage workers."

2+2 road

This article is about a specific type of expressway found in Ireland and Scandinavia. For another type of road typically with four or more lanes, two on each side, see Arterial road.

An example of a 2+2 dual-carriageway in Ireland (the N4)

A 2+2 road is a specific type of dual-carriageway that exists primarily in Ireland,Finland,cable barrier.

These roads do not have hard shoulders and therefore cannot be designated as motorways in the future. However, they may be designated as limited-access roads, as such roads do not require the physical standard of motorways to be designated as expressways. The Irish variant has 3.5-metre-wide (11 ft) lanes3.25-metre-wide (10.7 ft) lanes.

Junctions are generally at-grade roundabouts and minor roads cross under or over the mainline without connecting. They are also known as "type 2 dual-carriageways" by the Irish National Roads Authority. These roads look similar to expressways, except that expressways often have interchanges, large medians or concrete barriers between traffic.

Claudio Cavazza

Claudio Cavazza (4 May 1934, Bologna - 6 June 2011, Rome, Lazio)Sigma-Tau pharmaceutical company.

History

Instigator and promoter of the scientific section of the Festival dei Due Mondi (Festival of the Two Worlds) in Spoleto, SpoletoScienza, organized by the Fondazione Sigma-Tau, which quickly established itself as one of the most important events dedicated to matters of science and epistemology of our times. After having graduated with a degree in pharmaceutical chemistry and studied for some time under Professor Noris Siliprandi, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Padua, Cavazza soon made the decision to dedicate himself to entrepreneurial activities. His entrepreneurial breakthrough into the pharmaceutical sector happened in the mid 1960s, thanks to the launch of Rekord B12, which soon became one of the highest selling medicines in Italy and elsewhere. Its success originated from the discovery that vitamin B12 develops an antiasthenic and antidepressant effect at high doses. The medicine was also distinctively packaged in a particularly innovatively designed tube, which was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. An equally fundamental step in the history of Sigma-Tau group was the decision – resulting from the passion and determination of Claudio Cavazza – to dedicate significant resources to scientific research into the study of carnitine, an endogenous substance of natural origin that is without side effects, which intervenes in the processes that allow cells to produce their own energy sources. The study of carnitine produced preparations of proven efficiency, able to correct metabolic defects, whether congenital or acquired, in different clinical situations. Over the years, Sigma-Tau group has broadened its presence in the international scene with branches not only in the major European countries of France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and the United Kingdom, but also in India, and with two production plants in the United States and Spain. Sigma-Tau group has around 2,500 employees, 400 of whom are researchers involved in the most advanced sectors of national and worldwide research in which it reinvests 16% of its turnover.
