He also must raise $5,000 in cash to get out of jail. Pereira, of Somerset, a custodian at the Somerset Berkley Regional High School, was arrested at the high school at 9:30 p.m. following an investigation by police and the state Internet Crimes Against Children task force. “They had tracked an IP address that was registered to him at his Somerset address,” said prosecutor Kyle McPherson. “When they went to his house, they spoke with his wife. His wife indicated there were two computers in the house.” One computer, McPherson told District Court Judge James J. McGovern, was used solely by Pereira and was password protected under the user name “MasterBlaster.” McPherson alleged investigators were able to gain access to the computer files and found material that lead them to charge Pereira with dissemination of child pornography and possession of child pornography. Pereira was arrested at work. He was in custody overnight prior to his arraignment in District Court Thursday. “My client is devastated by the charges. He denies the charges,” said attorney Michael DiGioia, who was appointed to represent Pereira at the arraignment. While the prosecutor asked for $10,000 cash bail, DiGioia argued for personal recognizance bail. “He has no history with the court,” DiGioia said. “He has never been arrested. He has never been in trouble.” DiGioia added that Pereira no longer had a job, either as a custodian or at his work with a landscaping company. “He has lost both of his jobs because of this,” he argued. “He is not going back to the high school.” School officials confirmed Pereira has been placed on leave pending further investigation. The judge set bail at $5,000 cash. McGovern also ordered that Pereira have no access to computers and no contact with children younger than 14 while out on bail. Police officials say more details will be released later on Thursday, but the chairwoman of Somerset's kindergarten to Grade 8 School Committee said she has been told that no students were involved in the material found by police. "I just received info from Chief McNeil that our K12 students were not part of pornographic material confiscated," Melissa Terra wrote in a Facebook post Thursday morning. Terra said the school department's administration is working with police "on getting the information necessary to answer questions regarding the custodian incident." In a message sent to families, Superintendent Jeffrey Schoonover said all hiring procedures were properly followed and confirmed that it does not appear any high school students were involved. "As many of you have heard the disturbing news, a high school custodian was arrested last night at SBRHS on charges of possessing and disseminating child pornography," Schoonover said in the message. "The Somerset Police Department has confirmed that, at this time, there does not appear to be any involvement of any high school student. The custodian has been placed on leave pending the District’s receipt of further information regarding the status of this matter. "The custodian, who was hired approximately five weeks ago, worked the weekday shift from 3:00 PM - 11:00 PM. Employment in the Somerset Berkley Regional School District is contingent upon a successful background check, which includes a state CORI and a national fingerprint background check. All hiring procedures were appropriately followed for this individual." Pereira is due back in court on Nov. 27 for a probable cause hearing. The charge of possession and dissemination of child pornography carries a minimum sentence of 10 years up to a maximum of 20 years in prison. Email Kevin P. O’Connor at koconnor@heraldnews.com.

Flanker task to investigate if and how individual differences in bilingual language experience modulate neurocognitive outcomes (oscillatory dynamics) in two bilingual group types: late bilinguals (L2 learners) and early bilinguals (heritage speakers—HSs) TFRs were computed for both incongruent and congruent trials The difference between the two (Flanker effect vis-à-vis cognitive interference) was then (1) compared between the HSs and the L2 learners (2) modeled as a function of individual differences with bilingual experience within each group separately and (3) probed for its potential (a)symmetry between brain and behavioral data We found no differences at the behavioral and neural levels for the between-groups comparisons oscillatory dynamics (mainly theta increase and alpha suppression) of inhibition and cognitive control were found to be modulated by individual differences in bilingual language experience albeit distinctly within each bilingual group While the results indicate adaptations toward differential brain recruitment in line with bilingual language experience variation overall earlier versus later onset to bilingualism—the bilingual type—seems to constitute an independent qualifier to how individual differences play out if individual patterns of dual language engagement matter it cannot be assumed that such patterns align symmetrically such that bilingual type (macro) categorizing factors do not intercede to affect how individual bilingual engagement patterns ultimately manifest It is with this in mind that the present study is couched and contributory treating bilingualism as a continuous variable we regress individual measures of bilingual engagement to understand how they might predict on-task neural dynamics while performing a Flanker task bringing together two distinct types of bilinguals–early native (heritage speakers) and late(r) L2 learners–we further ask whether the age of onset of bilingualism interacts differentially with how proxies of bilingual engagement present in individual differences while it is the case that individual patterns of dual language engagement predict individual differences in on-task TFRs in both bilingual type groups the patterns are distinct within each group suggesting that onset timing and/or overall duration of bilingualism has a moderating effect for how individual differences unfold few studies in the neurocognition of bilingualism have looked specifically at HSs (or at least labeled and differentiated them as such) we take the null hypothesis to be that there is no maturational effect on how the mind/brain will adapt to the same quantity and quality of dual language experience we leave open the extent to which different bilingual types will in their aggregates and indeed across the individuals that comprise them differ in terms of empirical exponents of cognitive tasks likened to bilingualism-induced adaptations Precisely because it is highly likely that in the most common cases bilingual type will matter for quantity and quality of opportunities to engage (and thus change) the relevant underlying cognitive systems Doing so enables us to investigate the relevant contribution and weighting of experience related variables specific to bilingualism and multilingualism and macro group level factors such as AoA duration of being bilingual/multilingual and exposure/usage patterns in isolation as well as how they might interact with each other Although these two studies are done in the context of bilingual language learning they highlight how oscillatory dynamics can be profitably employed in bilingualism research more generally to better understand underlying processes of neural computation serving language related functions The findings revealed modulatory effects of age of second language acquisition on high beta and gamma power whereas higher degree of use of the second language at home and in society contexts correlated with functional connectivity (mean coherence) in theta the results of these two studies highlight the modulatory role of brain oscillations (measured in a task free context) in dual language scenarios and underline how these effects vary by degree of individual engagement with bilingualism experience factors over the lifespan The present study tests three hypotheses guided by the recent Unified Bilingual Experience Trajectories (UBET; DeLuca et al., 2020) framework UBET makes detailed predictions about how four general components of bilingual experience (intensity/diversity of use and duration of use) would variably drive adaptations in cognitive control and its neural underpinnings As pertains specifically to adaptations in oscillatory dynamics several of these predictions from the UBET framework are key: increased intensity and diversity of bilingual experience would positively correlate to theta power (in situations of cognitive control) This theta increase is predicted to stem from increased fronto-cortical recruitment to handle the higher control demands associated with this experience prolonged duration of bilingual experience would relate to increased alpha suppression/desynchronization in situations requiring cognitive control This shift in oscillatory dynamics is related to a transition toward increased efficiency and automation of handling these existing control demands intensity of use would have an additive effect in this transition increased intensity of exposure would modulate the latency by which adaptations to efficiency manifest neurophysiologically (1) Bilingual group types differences: power differences at the group level between HSs and L2 learners specifically increased theta activation for L2 learners and increased alpha suppression for HSs for interference suppression given the difference in duration commensurable with bilingual type (2) Individual differences predicted by engagement patterns: collapsing the groups and regressing dual language engagement (i.e. how much and in what contexts they use both languages) as continuous variables one might find correlations between power in theta (synchronization reflected in frontal electrode clusters) reflecting functional adaptations to increased control demands and alpha (suppression) with engagement above and beyond bilingual type specific effects reflecting increased efficiency in handling control demands If intensity over duration of engagement has an additive effect we might expect different patterns of individual differences between HSs and L2 learners given inherent differences regarding language usage distribution one could expect all HSs to use a non-societal language at home (potentially the only context in which they use their heritage language) high use at home would not necessarily signal overall intensity at an equivalent level an equal score would for an L2 learner since the non-societal language is not expected in that context a high score in home use is likely to denote a rather high level of intensity overall (3) Correspondence between neural dynamics and behavioral performance: theta activation is predicted to correlate with faster reaction times in the Flanker paradigm Alpha suppression is predicted to show a greater dissociation with reaction times especially with prolonged duration of bilingual engagement signifying increased efficiency of handling control demands regardless of the reported early first exposure to English of the L2 group there are considerable and important differences to the “earliness” of HSs linguistic onset and temporal exposure/engagement to bilingualism Since all participants are sampled from the same context in Germany where English is taught pervasively and early on the heritage speakers have also been exposed to English This is unsurprising since their trajectories with English over time are not expected to be different in the aggregate from the L2 learners in our sample what distinguishes our groups is their native bilingualism with Italian (or not) In addition to more fine-grained measurements of linguistic exposure and engagement based on the participant's mother's highest level of education (0 = lower than a high school diploma and there were no differences across the groups (t(55) = 1.99 for which the groups did not differ [t(57) = 1.08 Participants were presented with sets of five arrows and asked to specify the direction of the arrow in the middle Surrounding arrows (flankers) were pointing either in the same direction (congruent condition: <<<<<) or in a different direction (incongruent condition: <<><<) Incongruent trials require participants to ignore the conflicting information coming from the surrounding arrows incongruent conditions involve greater recruitment of the executive control system The task procedure was first explained to the participants A brief practice session preceded the experimental blocks to allow the participants to familiarize themselves with the task The practice session consisted of a total of 12 trials 4 incongruent trials and 4 neutral arrows (only a single arrow was shown this condition was not used in the EEG analysis) Participants were instructed to use their corresponding index finger to press left (on a button box—RB-740 Cedrus®) if the central arrow (or the single arrow in the neutral trials) pointed to the left and to press right if the opposite was true Participants were instructed to be as quick and accurate as possible The experimental session consisted of two blocks of 120 trials each presented in a randomized order: 40 incongruent trials the total number of trials was 240 (80 trials per condition) Each trial began with a fixation cross in the middle of the screen presented for a jittered duration of 400–1,600 ms (at randomized steps of 100 ms) The fixation cross allowed the participants both to focus their attention on the center of the screen and to reduce saccadic eye movements a 200 ms baseline blank screen appeared followed by the stimulus which was presented until the participants responded or for a maximum duration of 1,500 ms An inter-trial interval (ITI) blank screen of 2,000 ms followed to avoid eventual carryover effects The participants were instructed to take a short break between trial blocks The EEG signal was continuously recorded from 32 Ag/AgCl scalp electrodes (LiveAmp32 AFz acted as the ground electrode and FCz as the online reference located on the forehead above the eyebrows were employed to detect and monitor vertical and horizontal eye movements Data were recorded with an online filter of 0.01–200 Hz and was amplified and continuously digitized at a 1000 Hz sampling rate using a Brain Vision LiveAmp amplifier Only items correct at the behavioral level were used for further preprocessing and analysis The power spectrum was computed in the 2–45 Hz frequency range to accommodate the following frequency bands: 4–7 Hz (theta frequency) 21–30 Hz (high beta frequency) and 31–45 Hz (gamma frequency) a 500 ms long stable moving window and a Hanning taper were employed Power changes were computed in steps of 50 ms and 1 Hz Given the properties of the time-frequency analysis and the BVA to Fieldtrip export procedure the resulting time-frequency representations (TFRs) contained data points between 500 ms prior to and 950 ms after the stimulus onset These TFRs were expressed as a relative change from the −500 to −100 ms baseline period TFRs were averaged for each subject and separately for each of the three conditions the difference between incongruent and congruent trials RTs lower than 200 ms and non-accurate were excluded from further analysis This led to the removal of 139 trials (0.97% of the trials) Repeated measures ANOVAs were performed for RTs (factors: Group [heritage speakers (HSs) L2 learners (L2)] × Condition [incongruent generalized linear models from the binomial family were employed looking at the fit of condition and group on accuracy [glm(accuracy ~ condition*group The tests were run on the entire post-stimulus onset window with averaging per frequency band A statistical threshold of p < 0.025 per tail was used to compute t-values for every electrode-time-frequency point and for corrected cluster-level significance To compare the interference effect between the two groups we first subtracted the power spectrum for the congruent condition from the incongruent condition separately for the HS and L2 groups We then ran a cluster-based permutation test comparing the resulting power spectra between them a broadly distributed negative alpha cluster (650–950 ms) a positive alpha cluster (300–500 ms) in fronto-central electrodes and a broadly distributed negative low beta cluster (550–950 ms) At the whole collapsed sample level (both bilingual type groups included) the following clusters were found: a positive theta cluster (300–650 ms) across fronto-central electrodes a broadly distributed negative cluster (600–950 ms) and a positive (350–500 ms) alpha cluster across fronto-central electrodes a broadly distributed negative low beta cluster (450–950 ms) and a negative high beta cluster (750–950 ms) over central-posterior electrodes These clusters were extracted and used for the computation of the average power-individual-frequency band Averaged time-frequency representations of individual conditions (A,B) and the Flanker effect (C) for the L2 learners for 4–30 Hz in a representative electrode Cz and topographical plots (D) of the Flanker effect for the time-frequency clusters of interest The Flanker effect was computed by subtracting power in the Congruent condition from power in the Incongruent condition The color bar applies to both single electrode and topographical plots and indicates relative power change Averaged time-frequency representations of individual conditions (A,B) and the Flanker effect (C) for the heritage speakers for 4–30 Hz in a representative electrode Robust functions are designed to be more sensitive to outliers and suboptimal normal residuals the interrelationship between brain oscillations and behavioral interference was investigated how neural correlates predict response speed differences between incongruent and congruent trials (testing the third hypothesis) we used the data at the whole collapsed sample level (both bilingual type groups included) (see Section Identifying time-frequency clusters of interest for clusters of interest) but there were no group differences in any of the conditions no language group by condition interactions where found Summary of the behavioral analysis (mean Reaction Times and Accuracy) for the L2 learners (n = 32) and HSs (n = 28) for the three different conditions (congruent We found no differences between the two groups, i.e., at the aggregate level HSs and L2 learners displayed very similar brain oscillatory patterns when looking at interference suppression in the Flanker task (see Figures 1, 2) Although there do not seem to be any aggregate differences this does not mean that individual level factors are not at play whether in a collapsed group of all participants or across participants in each group separately it is possible that each group contains participant samples with similar degrees of relevant experiential variation washing out any obvious effect We cannot discount a priori that individual linguistic experience/engagement could trump any potential effect AoA and/or -lingualism status (bi- vs multilingualism) might confer independently it might be the case that timing (onset and duration) of multiple language experience and/or quantity of languages (bilingual vs multilingual) offer no explanatory value above and beyond individual engagement with multiple language use whenever one attains competence in more than one language this would mean that there are no caveats to the claim that linguistic engagement patterns are primarily deterministic for neurocognitive outcomes it is not only conceivable but indeed realistic to find adult L2 learners who are much more engaged in bilingual experiences than some childhood simultaneous bilinguals even if the general trend and intuition pushes us to think in the opposite direction there would be no reason to treat HSs and L2 learners distinctly of significant importance that our design allows us to address we first collapsed the two groups and ran multiple regressors to investigate how language usage variables predict neural outcomes overall Some interesting results emerged significant the question remained as to whether or not collapsing is the best approach If it turns out to be that group categorizing variables (e.g. AoA) brings something to bear independently probing for individual differences related to linguistic experiences would still make sense to do regardless doing so within each group separately should prove more meaningful Upon careful inspection of the data, it became clear that when collapsed together the two groups were clustering separately, instead of forming a homogenous bilingualism continuum (see Figure 3 for an example of this phenomenon) the preferred analysis was the one that treated the groups separately upon treating the groups separately we note that significant effects are more pervasive The two figures on the left represent the correlation between experience factors (NSL Home top and AoA bottom) and low beta power from the whole collapsed dataset (units on both axes are normalized ones: x-axes age and y-axes power) (see Section Identifying time-frequency clusters of interest for clusters of interest) have been sorted out into the two groups (HS for the heritage speakers of Italian and L2 for the L2 learners) where again the NSL Home interaction is on the top and AoA on the bottom Notice how the two groups cluster separately the L2 learner group (L2) is represented in blue and the HS group (HS) in red L2 learner group individual analysis results in alpha Predicted values of Age (left) and AoA onset (right) on alpha power (negative cluster) in the L2 learner group (see Section Identifying time-frequency clusters of interest for clusters of interest) L2 learner group individual analysis results in low beta Predicted values of NSL Home on low beta power (negative cluster) in the L2 learner group (see Section Identifying time-frequency clusters of interest for clusters of interest) For the HS group, we only found a negative correlation (Figure 6) between Age and theta power (positive cluster) (E = −0.03 Predicted values of Age on theta power (positive cluster) in the HS group (see Section Identifying time-frequency clusters of interest for clusters of interest) In this analysis, we modeled RTs interference as predicted by brain-data*group. We found a significant interaction between group and alpha power (in the positive cluster) (E = −0.99, t = −2.06, p = 0.04) (Figure 7) While a positive correlation is found between alpha power and interference suppression effect for the L2 learners the HSs exhibit a negative correlation: the more alpha was recruited the smaller the difference was between incongruent and congruent trials Interaction between alpha power (positive cluster) and group and interaction with behavioral RTs interference The L2 learner group (L2) is represented in red and the HS group (HS) in green (see Section Identifying time-frequency clusters of interest for clusters of interest) we unpack and interpret the above presented results in general and specifically in relation to our three hypotheses outlined in the introduction neither make reference to the timeframe under which adaptations toward efficiency occur that our L2 learners are not only proficient in English but have had significant time with English competence it could simply be that they are past a stage in bilingual development where increased reliance on fronto-cortical circuits is implicated for all intents and purposes any potential effect duration of bilingualism could have had is surpassed in these groups Without a monolingual comparison or an additional bilingual group with less L2 experience (beginners) we cannot tease the following three possibilities apart: (i) bilingualism has no such effect here (unlikely in light of the rest of the data unpacked below) (ii) there simply is no difference between L2 learners and HSs par excellence at any stage of development or (iii) such differences would obtain but only when L2 learners are under a particular threshold of bilingual experience it might not have been a fair question to ponder from the outset since HSs tested in adulthood are inherently at a mature state of linguistic bilingual development whereas L2 learners at similar ages are at various stages of linguistic development—i.e. with HSs we are looking at neurocognitive effects of bilingual language maintenance as opposed to bilingual language development as one can do at various stages of proficiency with L2 learners To the extent that this approach panned out there is a combined epistemological and empirical note of importance It can be true that bilingual experience is deterministic for outcomes of neurocognitive adaptations in general but teasing this out can be inadvertently obscured by combining proverbial apples and oranges with crucial variables that make them incomparable at some level of apparent importance could interact with how experience is differentially uptaken in each bilingual type and thus introduce noise but not necessarily play out in the same ways depending on how experience interacts with other features we might expect to see that variation in experience predicts outcome differences regardless of bilingual type but is appreciated only in comparison to peers within a singular type (at least for some outcomes whereas others might not show a type division) it could be the case that experience only matters when certain other variables are true only if bilingualism commenced before a particular age the order in which we approached these analyses should have been reversed Examining the groups separately and showing the same trends in each would have certainly warranted a follow up to see if the same held true when combining both groups: a lesson learned should also be a lesson shared the relative decrease of beta power for the incongruent relative to the congruent conditions could reflect conflict at the response level that is simultaneous activation of both response directions in incongruent trials compared to the single direction in congruent trials This prediction is more in line with our finding of positive correlation between the AoA (given that it is often confounded with prolonged duration of bilingual use) and alpha decrease whereby the earlier the participants learned their L2 the stronger alpha decreases are exhibited the effects of Age and AoA are somewhat contradictory in our study and further work should more closely examine the contributions of these different but related factors So how can it be that given very similar brain signatures of conflict resolution between the two groups we find these signatures to be differentially modulated by language experience factors Here is where we believe we see an effect of HS bilingualism itself Recall that the groups are controlled for context of learning and proficiency of English the HSs experience with Italian under an immersion context their earlier intensity to naturalistic bilingualism When the onset of exposure to another language occurs past a certain threshold (e.g. as in our L2 learners) and non-societal language is minimally or not used at home the duration of exposure may not have that same effect in the case of later onset of exposure to L2 and minimal use of non-societal language at home experiential factors modulate the engagement of attentional mechanisms required for managing the conflict as reflected in alpha oscillations and recruitment of the motor system reflected in beta oscillations The current study does not allow us to disentangle the effects of AoA and non-societal language use at home on the relationship between experiential factors and neural signatures of inhibitory control. It is possible that the differences observed between the two groups are driven by one or both of these measures, or that adaptations required by each are likely to be modulated by the other (DeLuca et al., 2020) Further work should address this issue by carefully selecting appropriate test populations to address this query by adding a group of multilinguals with the same languages to our HS group but have acquired their L2 and L3 in adulthood (e.g. German natives who acquire English in the typical (early L2) case and are L3 learners of Italian with high proficiency) As per hypothesis 3, we investigated the anticipatedly observable relationship between oscillatory dynamics and reaction time (RT) performance, inclusive of whether the pattern was modulated by differences in language experience (Figure 7) Recall here that the HSs and L2 learners showed differing patterns: the L2 learners showed a positive correlation between alpha power and RTs for inhibitory control whereas the HSs showed a negative correlation between alpha power and task performance for this contrast the negative correlation here indicates that the HSs seem to rely less on inhibitory control processes to achieve similar reaction time performance for interference suppression The pattern seen in the L2 learners was not expected but also suggests an adaptation to the nature of language control demands The positive correlation between alpha power and reaction time indicates a shifting adaptation to inhibitory control costs that might not have (yet) reached a degree of efficiency noted in the HSs This indicates a greater requirement/focus on specific cognitive networks related to language- and domain-general cognitive control This effort then would lead to a slight slowing on trials requiring increased inhibitory control (such as the incongruent trials) resulting in larger interference effects at the level of RTs It is possible that with increased intensity of use or prolonged duration of use the patterns seen in this group would more closely align with those seen in the HS group but further research targeting individuals and groups with such demographic patterns is required to assess this Investigating EEG oscillations in a Flanker task this study examined potential neurocognitive adaptations in two types of bilinguals Motivated by inherent differences in duration (and entailed intensity by contextual distinctions) of bilingual experience we hypothesized that our groups would diverge relative to each other: L2 learners would exhibit increased theta activation while HSs would show increased alpha suppression between-group comparisons revealed no such distinctions In line with the literature seeking to reveal—if existent in a given aggregate—and understand individual differences in bilingual language and executive control demographic) variables to probe for prediction of individual differences in neural activation When examining the Flanker effect separately within each group we did find that both groups demonstrated (partial) signatures of cognitive control (specifically theta increase initial alpha increase followed by later alpha decrease as well as low beta decrease) the data revealed specific bilingual experiential factors correlated to modulatory effects in each group the two groups demonstrated distinct relationships between oscillatory dynamics and behavioral performance on the Flanker task (reaction times) insights from this study support the view that individual engagement matters in bilingualism and neurocognitive outcomes but not necessarily in the same way across all bilingual(type)s it is also prudent to point out that our study is limited to a single cognitive task to the extent that Flanker is a good task to examine inhibitory control the present can speak only to support our general conclusions for the relevant cognitive domain claims of bilingualism—whether treated/envisaged as a continuous variable or not—potentially affecting executive functions are not limited to the domain of inhibitory control a modicum of caution needs to be applied in terms of the generalizability of even what the present data support: while we maintain the present study shows that degree of bilingual engagement matters—differentially so for distinct types of bilinguals—for neurocognitive outcomes this does not mean it

do not require valuable real estate and those on reservoirs used for hydropower are particularly cost effective as they can hook up to existing links to the power grid Excess power generated on sunny days can pump water up into the lake to be stored for use on cloudy days or at night.EDP executive board member Ana Paula Marques said the war in Ukraine showed the need to accelerate the shift to renewablesShe said the Alqueva project was part of EDP's strategy "to go 100% green by 2030" with hydropower and other renewables now accounting for 78% of EDP's 25.6 GW of installed capacity.In 2017 EDP installed a pilot floating solar project with 840 panels on the Alto Rabagao dam the first in Europe to test how hydro and solar power could complement each other.EDP already has plans to expand the Alqueva project It secured the right in April to build a second floating farm with 70 MW installed capacity.Reporting by Sergio Goncalves; Editing by Andrei Khalip and Edmund Blair But the best

graduates were vacationing last year in Passos Brazil — about eight or nine hours' drive northwest from Rio de Janeiro in the state of Minas Gerais — where their parents grew up and where they have a large extended family The sisters were looking for a business opportunity when they discovered Passos’ growing reclaimed furniture industry and were introduced by an “auntie” to Leandro José da Silva owner of a family- run factory that employs 11 people The pair researched the market and drew up specifications for pieces they felt Cape customers would appreciate they traveled to Passos and watched as the shipment was loaded onto a 40-foot container They ended up staying for two months to learn about every detail of the importexport process “Having my products abroad in the American market is a dream come true,” he said in a message translated by the sisters the Pereiras feature a line of customdesigned furniture made entirely of reclaimed wood In several carefully staged rooms the bright open space of the store highlight the varied textures and colors of the reclaimed wood tables some with hints of the original paint still on them the sisters enthusiastically explained the origin of the pieces and how they came to open a store to showcase furniture light fixtures and even works of art made from reclaimed and recycled materials “The furniture started everything — our mission our goal to offer sustainable things made with good business practices.” Laura Pereira said peroba is similar in strength to mahogany and comes from abandoned homes originally built early in 20th century

its real estate is some of the most expensive in Latin America.In contrast the narrow street where Gonçalves lived is partially dirt lined with wildflowers and boxed in by mountainsides cobbling together buses and trains for a journey that takes nearly three hours via public transport.Gonçalves' family declined to talk with Reuters.Her death happened quickly the municipal health secretary; André Português the town's mayor; and two other people with knowledge of the case who declined to be identified.When Gonçalves checked into the municipal hospital doctors determined she had a urinary tract infection People with underlying conditions are most at risk from COVID-19 Gonçalves' condition deteriorated rapidly Ramos said she received a call that morning from Gonçalves' employer; the Leblon resident said she had tested positive for coronavirus Doctors intubated Gonçalves to help her struggling lungs Rio state officials said lab testing confirmed Gonçalves had died of the virus.She was interred in the municipal cemetery about a block from her house in a simple white structure where bodies are stacked one on top of the other Local workers call the structure "the vertical." Most graves are unmarked.With coronavirus cases mounting officials here say they are imploring residents to stay inside to slow the spread.Ramos said the local hospital has been training in coronavirus treatment protocols since December and has for weeks been building an intensive care facility within the hospital to handle an expected surge in cases the fear here is palpable."We're in panic," Ramos said choking back tears.Reporting by Gram Slattery and Rodrigo Viga Gaier; Additional reporting by Lucas Landau; Editing by Marla Dickerson which regarded Cuba as one of its ‘socialist

Seoul Is Cuba really breaking from the axis of dictators?” Maxwell said “What if Cuban relations with South Korea will be exploited over time to receive South Korean exports particularly of high tech and dual use goods that could then be transhipped to North Korea?” Maxwell likened the geopolitical situation between North and South Korea to that of opponents in the Korean stone-capturing game baduk “It appears that South Korea has captured a North Korean stone,” he said ”But does this ‘diplomatic terrority’ really benefit South Korea in the long run But the establishment of relations

eventually discovering his own identity The play features every major character from the film from Buddy’s real workaholic father Walter Hobbs to his real brother Michael Taking on the role of the play’s protagonist Although brand new to the high school theater scene he has four years of acting experience under his belt from middle school and programs in Swansea playing a positive and upbeat character like Buddy the Elf is new “I have to be very happy all the time,” Pereira said “It was a challenge to get used to at first.” Nathan Vieira plays the man in the big red suit but he’s not your typical bright and cheerful Santa Claus “He’s actually the least hopeful during Christmas,” Vieira said “He’s not as joyful as you’d think Santa would be.” Vieira described his role as playing a happy-acting person who is actually deeply sad on the inside “It’s a very complicated change of emotions,” Vieira said Junior Kempton Campbell will take on the role of Buddy’s real workaholic father He begins the play as a grumpy and Christmas-apathetic character but slowly warms up to the idea after Buddy enters his life “I think it’s real good character development,” Campbell said said the Dartmouth High Theatre Company was looking for a winter production to include younger actors and actresses from the middle and elementary level in “Everyone knows the story of Buddy the elf,” Lawrence said “It’s a perfect opportunity to incorporate all three of our age groups.” each performance will also include the one-act play Last Stop Till Christmas which takes place at a bus stop as a large
