BRAZIL: The state of Piauí has reported progress on a series of investments to enhance the metre-gauge diesel suburban line in its capital
On November 11, Governor Rafael Fonteles inaugurated a 2·5 km, one-station eastern branch from Boa Esperança to Colorado
The project included the construction of a new station on a previously freight-only line at a cost of R$9·4m
The suburban rail service is also seeing upgrading work carried out in two phases
is currently being implemented and covers double-tracking of the 13·5 km line between the Engenheiro Alberto Tavares Silva terminus and Itararé
This does not include the new branch to Colorado
It also covers the rebuilding of five stations
the construction of a grade separated crossing where the railway meets Avenida Higino Cunha
the reconstruction of the maintenance workshop and construction of a new operational control centre for real-time service monitoring
The investment package is expected to increase the line’s throughput from 4 000 passengers/day to 12 000
and bring the end-to-end travel time down from the current 1 h to 25 min
R$390m phase of the programme is planned for which the federal government has already allocated R$237m in co-financing
This would see the railway bridge over the Poti river improved
and renovation of four intermediate stations renovated
the state of Piauí is seeking to acquire three diesel multiple-units to boost capacity on the service
Minister of Institutional Affairs at the state government Alexandre Padilha reported that bids had been received in early October
Padilha has also announced that services on the suburban rail will be free from January 1 2025
Government efforts to inject fresh impetus into the rail business and increase its share of the freight market continue
but reliance is being placed on the private sector to fund new projects
BRAZIL: Piauí state Governor Rafael Fonteles has given the go-ahead for the renovation and expansion of the 1 000 mm gauge suburban network in Teresina
which currently comprises a single 13·5 km route shared with freight traffic
The governor approved the R$11m investment package on August ..
Better utilisation of under-used main line railways is seen as key to developing cost-effective urban and suburban rail networks that can relieve road congestion in Brazil’s fast-growing cities

NJ — A former assistant dean from Warren was sentenced to 36 months in prison for defrauding her former employer in a $1.3 million "embezzlement scheme" that went on for 13 years
Teresina DeAlmeida, 59, of Warren, and her co-conspirators, Rose Martins, 44, of East Hanover, New Jersey, and Silvia Cardoso, 61, of Warren, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud before U.S
District Judge Julien Xavier Neals in Newark federal court
Prosecutors didn’t name the specific university in a news release, but Seton Hall officials confirmed the incident took place at the university’s law school
A spokesperson said the university "immediately conducted a more intensive review utilizing a third-party auditor and notified the appropriate higher education and government entities."
A spokesperson told Patch that the university uncovered the "financial irregularities" during a regular internal review
"The defendant abused her position of trust as an assistant dean to orchestrate an elaborate embezzlement scheme for more than a decade," Sellinger said
she and her co-conspirators stole more than $1.3 million intended to benefit the school and its students
My office is committed to relentlessly prosecuting those who commit financial frauds."
"By choosing to utilize her position for illicit profit
Teresina DeAlmeida chose to enrich herself first and serve the students of the University last," said Jenifer L
"Financial fraud like this will not be tolerated and IRS Criminal Investigation will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to root out and investigate these financial crimes."
Martins and Cardoso conspired to fraudulently misappropriate more than $1.3 million from their former employer," Sellinger said
"DeAlmeida was an assistant dean responsible for financial functions
was also employed by the graduate school in a support staff role."
the three defendants used a variety of methods to defraud the university:
DeAlmeida was sentenced to 2 years of supervised release and ordered restitution of around $1,397,000

Pessoa reportedly stood on the foot of his rival's adviser after the event had ended - both he and the candidate filed a police report .

A Brazilian mayor headbutted one of his rivals during a heated televised debate on Thursday.
Teresina Mayor José Pessoa Leal shocked candidate Francinaldo Leão when he walked up to him and lunged forward and struck him in the face in front of the other stunned candidates at the TV Band studios.
The 49-year-old Leão, who is running under the Socialist and Liberty Party (PSOL), had questioned the 77-year-old Democratic mayor about issues within the city's health department.
He was given one minute to respond to Leão's allegations and then delivered the headbutt before the moderator stepped in between them.
Pessôa, who is seeking a second consecutive term, claimed Leão had spit at him.
The discourse – the first debate of the campaign season – continued without any issues as Pessôa extended an apology.
'I want to apologize, because he came at me a lot, spitting, but I already apologized,' he said
However, footage reviewed by DailyMail.com didn't show the Leão spitting at the mayor.
Despite the apology, Leão appeared before a local police precinct and filed a report.
'I was attacked by the current mayor of Teresina with a headbutt, for asking the question that every citizen of Teresina would like to have asked: about the abandonment of Teresina's Public Health system,' Leão said in a statement.
'I was attacked for defending the rights of our outskirts, for giving a voice to those who are often silenced.
'But know one thing: they will NOT silence me! Despite the Mayor's lack of control, my fight will continue so that every citizen is heard and has their social rights respected.'
The Pessôa campaign accused the mayoral candidates of constantly attacking him with accusations that are not true.
'On July 23, the mayor released an open letter to the civil and federal police authorities in which he denounced the untruths against his administration and personal life, which have been going on since the beginning of his term and which have become even more intense with the arrival of the election period,' the mayor's campaign said in statement.
'Regarding the debate between the candidates that took place yesterday on TV Band, the mayor was once again attacked by candidates who are making an excessive and unethical opposition, who are trying, at any cost, to destabilize him, with all kinds of provocations,' the campaign added.
'The mayor maintained his calm and serene demeanor until, faced with yet another provocation, he reacted to verbal violence from his opponent. The mayor is against violence, but he is human and true to his feelings.'

Although the city makes a small contribution to national and global emissions
it is situated in a global warming hotspot
Teresina is already affected by extreme heat
and models anticipate that it will become even hotter and drier in the coming years
The city's high vulnerability to climate change particularly affects Black
Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) groups living in low-income neighbourhoods
Social injustice and racism are tied together in the urban development process of Teresina
Flood-prone areas often overlap with vulnerable neighbourhoods at the fringes of the city
Climate action at the city level must simultaneously favour racial and climate justice to promote transformative changes towards sustainability
Teresina will likely have to absorb climate-induced migration from its surroundings
which may increase the challenges of already overloaded basic services and infrastructure
Urban planning in Teresina must accommodate future projections by combining climate mitigation with adaptation to provide low-carbon and resilient development
Urban climate governance is still emerging in Teresina
which makes this a key moment for transformative action towards sustainability

People who met Teresina Piano in the last few years
would sometimes take note of her foul mouth and dirty jokes
her love of beer and dancing and loud music
and say she’d “gotten feisty” in her old age
“Oh no,” her great-granddaughter Jennifer Warner would tell those people
She lived with Warner and Warner's young son
but that wasn’t so they could care for her
and anyone suggesting otherwise was likely to get called an SOB or worse
drove until she was 104 and walked without a cane until she was 105
when a fall — while dancing to a rock band at her neighborhood dive bar
Piano's parents were both immigrants from Sicily
The family lived in Cleveland when Piano was born
but was stuck with it at age 8 when a teacher named Miss Cross couldn’t pronounce “Teresina.”
Miss Cross was lucky young Teresina let that slide
Teresina was walking home from school in Rochester and saw whiskey running down the gutter
a Mafia-connected bootlegger who made wine
She got home to find barrels of whiskey broken open and federal agents all over the house
One of them was eating a loaf of bread her mother had just baked
and she’s crying,” Piano told The Star in an interview the week before she died
spouting off a few choice phrases and ending with: "Aren’t you ashamed
Piano’s version of the story — which she told on the patio of her neighborhood bar
The Garage — ended with the federal agents fleeing in the face of her wrath
Piano was married for 55 years to Norman Piano
They had two children and six grandchildren
Piano had 11 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren
Piano lived in North Hollywood for most of her adult life
including at a factory that made military uniforms during World War II
“She hated anyone saying she couldn’t work because she was a woman,” Warner said
When their son Michael was a baby and the family lived in Rochester
just “out,” so she put a snowsuit on the baby and followed him to the local bar
her husband reconsidered his plans for the evening
“he never f---in’ tried that again,” Warner said
Michael was a founding member of the 1960s folk-rock trio The Sandpipers
They had a hit with their version of “Guantanamera,” and Piano would play Sandpipers records and brag about her son for the rest of her life
Grandma Piano was the matriarch of the family when Warner was growing up
made clothes and pillows and blankets for everyone
and Warner was recently divorced and looking for a new place
Piano and Warner became regulars at The Garage
Piano would have a can and a half of beer every night
The regulars at The Garage had a memorial potluck dinner for Piano two days after she died
and then there will be another party at The Garage
Piano’s wishes were clear: No one is allowed to wear all black
“We’d better all be drinking and laughing,” Warner said

Teresina is surrounded by different vegetation zones and experiences a tropical wet and dry climate
Teresina has an estimated population of 861,442
ranking as Brazil's 21st most populous city and the 15th most populous state capital
Teresina has the second best quality of life of all cities in the North-Northeast of Brazil
Teresina is also considered one of the country's safest state capitals
Until 1852, the state capital of Piauí was Oeiras. However, Oeiras experienced challenges associated with communication and trade, and therefore it was decided that the state capital should be shifted from Oeiras to a better-connected area. Teresina’s location on the Parnaíba River made it a preferred choice
Teresina was established as Piauí’s capital city on August 16
It was Brazil's first planned city and was later renamed Teresina in honor of the Brazilian Emperor's wife
The city traces its origins to a small fishing village that was colonized in the 18th century
About 40% of Piauí's gross domestic product (GDP) comes from Teresina
Textiles and garments are the city's most profitable industries
creating exports to other regions and generating thousands of jobs
Other significant industries in Teresina include pharmaceuticals
The city's construction industry has also experienced recent growth due to the increasing demand for skyscrapers within the capital
Teresina also features a vast transport network that includes subway service

The capital of the Piauí region will benefit from new line in the southeast with a complete renovation of the metro in the works
The Governor of the state of Piauí in Brazil has approved an expansion of the metro line in Teresina as well as the renovation of a section of the existing line.
A 13.5km-long line, the Teresina metro serves the region’s capital city with a daily ridership of about 12,000 people and will be expanded in the Southeast area by a further 2.5km after a work order by Governor Rafael Fonteles.
Governor Fonteles said: “In addition to expanding the Teresina subway line in the Southeast region
we are talking about the renovation of some stretches
totalling an investment of around 11m reais across both works.”
The new 9.4m reais line will run from the Boa Esperança station to a new station in the Colorado neighbourhood through the Gurupi and Alto da Resurreição areas
with construction expected to take just under a year
the 1.58m reais renovation of part of the existing line will see 2,200 wooden sleepers replaced and a new level crossing built across 150 days of work
marking the beginning of further renovations as the region’s Secretary of Transport Jonas Moura works on securing funding for the project.
Metro operator Companhia Ferroviária e Logística do Piauí’s president José Augusto Nunes said: “There is a great demand for public transport throughout Brazil and Teresina is no different. Our service is fast and comfortable
enabling safety and traffic with ease.”
Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard

The green-feathered bird started squawking as soon as officers arrived at a house in the Vila Irma Dulce neighbourhood of the city of Teresina
“He must have been trained for that,” said one officer involved in the operation
“As soon as police got close he began shouting.”

A Brazilian journalist claimed the bird appeared to have invoked its right to remain silent
“Lots of police officers have come by and he’s said nothing,” said local vet Alexandre Clark

who had become wrapped up in Satanism.Her killers said she kept saying
Teresina Elsa Mainetti was born in Colico, Italy, on August 20, 1939. She felt the calling to dedicate her life to helping others from when she was in grade school. Staying true to herself, she entered the novitiate of the Sisters of the Cross, in Rome
Sister Maria studied hard and dedicated her life to children
and families in the towns surrounding Vasto
she quickly became known for her love and commitment to the homeless youth and poor people of the area
Her ministry to children as a catechist and spiritual leader added to her reputation
Sister Maria Laura Mainetti was at home in her convent when she received a phone call from one of her former catechism students
Sister Maria was at that time the Mother Superior of the convent; the nuns specialized in helping teenagers in trouble
The girl who was calling was asking Sister for help
She said she had been raped and was pregnant
She asked Sister if she could meet with her to talk
and the girl told her she would call her back with a time and place
and told Sister Maria she had run away from home and would she please come to see her
She wanted to meet Sister in Marmitte dei Giganti Park at 10 p.m
It was not unusual for her to go out at night like this as she was always available to assist young people in trouble
The girl who met her was Milena De Giambattista
The two walked together over to the park where Milena’s two friends
All four walked into the park and headed to a secluded area
they immediately made Sister Maria kneel on the ground
They then began screaming and cursing at her and smacking her head
De Giambattista began beating Sister Maria with a brick while Gianasso started smashing sister’s head into a wall next to where they had stopped
Then they took turns stabbing Sister Maria with a kitchen knife
Their intention was to each stab Sister six times for a total of 18 stab wounds
But they lost count and stabbed her 19 times
The next morning someone out for an early morning walk discovered Sister Maria’s brutalized body
In her hands were clumps of one of her attackers’ hair
a witness stepped forward and said that he had seen the three girls and Sister Maria together on the night of June 6
two of the girls began discussing the murder
Three weeks after the crime had been committed
Two of the girls were 17; the other was 16
None of them had any prior history of violent behavior or of being in any trouble
they said that killing Sister was “a game.” They finally admitted it was a satanic sacrifice
After searches in the young peoples’ homes
the police were able to discover the existence of a satanic subculture
had aligned themselves with Satan and his evil demonic forces
Their initial target was the parish priest
but they realized a priest was too powerful for them to bring down
the kind nun who had taught them catechism when they were in grade school
Sister was willing to do anything to help her former pupil
[she] sacrificed her life while praying for those who were attacking her.”
The killers of Sister Maria admitted that she was praying for them as she lay dying
Pope Francis declared on June 21 that Sister Maria Laura Mainetti had died “in odium fidei” (in hatred of the faith) and was a martyr
She will be beatified at a date to be announced
The murderers of Sister Maria were juveniles and served their sentences
being paroled (on the average) after about five years
Today they are all living lives far away from their crime

Meridiani expands the Indoor collection for 2020 with new seating in an essential
thanks to perceptive use of materials and finishes
A seamless narrative, woven by Meridiani in all its collections
speaking the same language of sophisticated elegance
aristocratic simplicity; a stylistic logic that lets the brand’s inimitable philosophy shine through
based on concepts of maximum aesthetic and design quality
without ever overlooking the need for innovative solutions
While the interpretation in forms of this identity of Meridiani takes shape in minimal, clean, linear compositions, the versatile approach of the company is revealed in a sartorial ability to craft and combine different materials and finishes, always generating new perspectives. This attitude is perfectly embodied in the Open Air 2020 collection
for an outdoor living area that sums up beauty and functional use
offer another good example: the couple Teresina & Teresa
are also standouts among the offerings of the Indoor 2020 collection
Teresina & Teresa are like two sides of the same coin: chairs with or without armrests – variations of the same model – that take on form and structure through the warmth and material essence of solid oak
skillfully crafted in rounded profiles that accentuate not only comfort but also tactile sensations
Teresina & Teresa also differ due to the ‘soft’ and ‘kuoio’ options: the first is softer
with the back and seat padded and covered with fabrics or leathers from the collection; the second is more daring and energetic
featuring a cowhide shell that defines the back
armrests and seat; the cowhide is bonded with the wooden structure
a large range of finishes adapts to any type of context or décor
Bringing out the impact of geometric lines
A single product can contain an entire range of different identities: the structure in metal tubing with a square cross-section offers two different heights for the back
It is now enhanced by bronze-plated brass and platinum-plated steel finishes
The existing collection has been expanded with two versions with armrests
all in metal or with cylindrical tubing in solid oak
coated in glossy or matte lacquer in the colors available in the catalogue
just like the impressions created by the Meridiani living area
The largest diffusion magazine in the luxury & design world

Brazil’s biggest aluminium can manufacturer CROWN Embalagens Metálicas da Amazônia (Crown Brazil) opened a fifth production plant at Teresina
Brazil’s biggest aluminium can manufacturer CROWN Embalagens Metálicas da Amazônia (Crown Brazil) opened a fifth production plant at Teresina
The company had announced its decision to construct the fourth line in September 2013
The Teresina plant exclusively manufactures aluminium cans for beverages such as soft drinks
The plant will have an initial production capacity of one billion cans annually
which will be doubled to two billion cans a year in the future
This facility will manufacture the seven sizes of beverage cans presently available from Crown in Brazil
The new beverage can manufacturing facility principally uses recyclable products for its production thereby reducing usage of raw material by 5% to 7%
It became operational in April 2014 before being officially opened the following month
Brazil is the world’s third biggest Bauxite holding country
the sixth biggest producer of raw aluminium and the ninth biggest consumer of aluminium
Crown’s geographical expansion into Brazil will reduce transportation distances
simplify logistics and enable the company to provide prompt customer support
Aluminium cans are quintessential for food packaging as they are non-toxic and resistant
lighter than glass and do not rust changing the taste of the drinks
Rexam opened a fourth production line at its existing plant in Ludesch
A press cuts the aluminium sheets into discs
which are then turned into cups with varied diameter and height
These cups then pass through another press where the external walls are stretched under great pressure to give it the can shape
The next step involves washing the cans thoroughly inside and outside several times and then drying them in an oven
The clean cans are internally coated to prevent the liquid filled from coming in direct contact with the metal
the profile of the wide mouth is moulded to the end so that the cans can be fitted and seamed after filling
The last step involves a quality check completed by qualified technicians using electronic means
including high-intensity lights and cameras
The beverage cans have a 360° printable surface area, which is printed with the use of Crown’s Pictoris™ high-definition printing
The printing technology improves dot spacing for fine detailed images and text
These cans appeal to both brand owners and consumers
as they are light in weight and quick to cool
The aluminium cans are 100% and infinitely recyclable
which is a joint-venture company between Crown Holdings and Évora
is one of the biggest manufacturers of two-piece aluminium cans for beer
juices and teas in Brazil since its start of operations in 1996
including the new beverage can plant in the city of Teresina
Other aluminium beverage can manufacturing plants owned by the company include the Cabreúva plant in São Paulo
Estância plant in Sergipe and Ponta Grossa in Paraná
The Manaus facility in Amazonas produces aluminium ends of the beverage cans manufactured in Cabreúva-SP and Estância-SE
