So — and not that it was mentioned in There have been so many different opportunities that have come my way because I've pushed myself whether it's that mentality of you need to work hard because we've got to overcome the fact that you're not necessarily like everyone else in the classroom helped me fight a little bit harder for the things that I wanted to really achieve I think it's super important to learn from those opportunities that just maybe didn't pan out But my grandparents and my parents always instilled in me that you don't give up My grandmother never misses an opportunity to tell me how proud she is of me Obviously there's a large generational gap were not necessarily seen the way Latin women are now kind of always having to be subordinate to men those that made those sacrifices before us Please note that email communications to the firm through this website do not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the firm Do not send any privileged or

In the northern Italian town of Alessandria a small restaurant is turning something as ordinary as a pizza box into a vehicle for change has launched a unique initiative in collaboration with the animal welfare organization Tutela Animali: photos and short bios of dogs in need of adoption are printed on every takeout pizza box Each box features the face of a dog currently living in a local shelter along with a short description and contact information for those interested in giving the animal a new home they’re greeted not only by the smell of fresh pizza but also by the eyes of a dog looking for love It’s hard to ignore that,” Amato told la Repubblica And the impact is already visible—several of the dogs featured have found new families thanks to this creative The initiative speaks to a larger problem across Italy where thousands of dogs are abandoned each year While shelters and volunteers work tirelessly one of the biggest hurdles remains visibility This is where partnerships like the one between Bistrot Barbarossa and Tutela Animali can truly make a difference It’s also a reminder that social change doesn’t always need grand gestures—sometimes “I hope other businesses join in,” Amato said In a world saturated with traditional advertising this grassroots effort stands out for its sincerity and simplicity It's a small but powerful example of how food and

activity was started in Piedmont between public bodies responsible for land management the academic world and professionals to define guidelines for geological studies and to produce rules for the prevention of geo-hydrological risk The conference is organized by the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Turin by the Italian Society of Environmental Geology (SIGEA) -APS by CNR IRPI of Turin and by the Regional Order of Geologists of Pemontet and will see the contribution from the Piemonte Region ISPRA and the Po River Basin Authority with the patronage of the CNG and the various local administrations ISPRA researchers are participating at the conference Program The local committees and Greenpeace have announced the results of tests carried out on 36 citizens who live near the chemical plant and paid for the tests out of their own pockets All samples certified the presence of harmful substances above the limits during a press conference organised in front of the Piedmontese city's prefecture by Greenpeace and local committees which have been fighting for years to ban perfluoroalkyl substances used to make everyday objects and considered harmful to humans and the environment The analyses involved 36 people living in the Spinetta Marengo area: in all of them the presence of pfas was found which doctors consider to be endocrine disrupters able to influence the change of hormones responsible for development "We ask President Alberto Cirio to come here and talk to us who should protect us?" said the citizens attending the conference who have been waiting almost four years for the analyses financed by the Region they decided to pay the 90 euros needed to find out whether the carcinogenic substances were present in their segue 'We hoped to fall back on the Region's biomonitoring announced in 2021,' denounces Mirella Benazzo we managed to get more adhesions than those collected by the regional sampling,' adds Giuseppe Ungherese 'which shows how concerned the people living near the chemical plant are The 36 blood samples were sent to Aachen University thanks to the coordination of Greenpeace Italy which has been following pfas contamination in Italy since 2016 first in Veneto and then in other northern regions PFAS, thousands of people in Piedmont drank contaminated water, says Greenpeace The examinations involved eight municipalities located within a ten-kilometre radius of the chemical plant with the values increasing significantly in the vicinity of the plant and appearing to be related to age and gender with adult males being the most affected by the bioaccumulation of pfas in the blood all samples showed traces of pfas in excess of the limits set by the US National academies of sciences (Nas) which indicate 2 nanograms per millilitre as the maximum threshold not to be exceeded even 20 nanograms per millilitre are exceeded a suburb that is home to Solvay's 130 hectares the maximum value of 32 nanograms per millilitre was reached of which 22.76 nanograms alone of the carcinogen pfoa a substance that belongs to the pfas group we asked citizens to explain what they know about pfas and the basic information about their families," Benazzo continues there is one case of cancer in each household It is also worrying that no general practitioner has ever spoken to his patients about pfas and the possible tests to be performed to understand whether or not the substances are present in the blood' The tests carried out in Alessandria follow a first round of analyses carried out in 2023 by the Belgian television network Rtfb the Alessandria committees involved activists from the Veneto region who have been exposed to the largest pfas contamination in Europe since 2013 and asked the Veneto's Doctors for the Environment Isde association for help The support of the Mamme No pfas and other activists was also important An IARC study confirms that PFOAs are carcinogenic and toxic and I lost my father and husband to cancer which I use to irrigate my vegetable garden analysed and high values of pfas were found What do I have to do to protect my health?" asked a resident who underwent the test the woman discovered that the pfas values in her blood exceeded 20 nanograms per millilitre The analysis conducted by the University of Aachen could not measure the two pfas produced and patented by Solvay Syensqo and its previous owner Ausimont: cC6O4 are only available for research in environmental matrices it is analysed worldwide by only two institutions: the Policlinico di Milano – which since 2021 has been Solvay's labour clinic and which finds up to 3 milligrams per litre in the blood of workers (3 million times higher than the 2 nanogram threshold) – and the Regione Piemonte which in the only biomonitoring carried out so far on farmers who feed on products grown near the chemical hub indicated an average of 15 micrograms per litre (a thousand times higher than the threshold) pfas produced by the Alessandria chemical plant reaches the blood of residents through food which is in turn contaminated by emissions from the plants' chimneys Amag Reti idriche – the company that manages the drinking water network of the eight Alessandria municipalities affected by these new blood tests – to lavialibera 's specific question on the presence of pfas in Spinetta Marengo's drinking water replied that 'the values are all below the limits that will come into force in January 2026' who until November 2023 had never found traces of pfas albeit with values below 100 nanograms per litre the

There are many factors that affect inflation—inflation being the change in the price level those factors are mostly transitory and can lead to a surge in prices but they won’t cause prices to consistently grow 6  But those supply chain issues can absolutely contribute to a big increase in prices The long-run effects depend on how policymakers respond There are so many things going on in the world right now that it’s hard to isolate one factor we found that these supply disruptions would lower economic activity by about one percentage point within six quarters of the start of the disruptions the disruptions that we’re currently seeing could knock 4 to 5 percent off of industrial production in the next year or two We’re just pushing too much stuff through the pipeline right now and maybe the efficient thing to do is to slow down economic activity which will allow businesses to restock so that we can get into a better productive situation which is slowing down the movement of goods around the world sanctions on Russia have stopped the flow of some goods Those policies have consequences on the global economy But the truth is that even if the oil from Russia doesn’t go to Europe That process of rejiggering where things go does create a temporary void that causes a drop in economic activity which will be restored once new connections are made I would have thought everything would go back to normal a year from now But we’re still seeing these closures in China that reduce the supply of goods for production in other parts of the world But I think we’ll have at least another year of low growth Pope Francis met with groups from two Italian dioceses at midday on Saturday in the Paul VI Hall faithful from the Diocese of Alessandria and confirmandi - young people who are preparing for confirmation or who have recently been confirmed -  from the Diocese of Spoleto-Norcia The Pope first spoke to the group from Alessandria while mentioning the many young people from Spoleto-Norcia who are "like so many flowers that are blooming" and with them one experiences "a sense of having the whole family" together The occasion of the visit of pilgrims from Alessandria was the 450th anniversary of the death of Saint Pius V who made courageous choices," said the Pope the style of Church governance has changed and "the backbone of his life was faith," affirming how his teachings are important also for today's world they invite us to be "seekers of truth," and Jesus is Truth in a way that is not only universal but also communal and personal saying the challenge is to experience that search for truth today in the daily life of the Church and of Christian communities And this search can only take place through personal and communal discernment starting from the Word of God Hearing the Word helps a community grow in the knowledge of Jesus and in the community life that must be woven from bonds of love and sharing The Word "comes alive particularly in the celebration of the Eucharist."  “Saint Pius V worked to reform the Church's Liturgy and after four centuries the Second Vatican Council implemented further reform to better adhere to the needs of today's world Much has been said in recent years about the Liturgy But the greatest effort must be made to ensure that the Eucharistic celebration actually becomes the source of community life.” bringing us into the life of Christ and then calling us to act concretely for others and stressed how the Acts of the Apostles give us back "the image of a Church on a journey that finds in prayer gatherings the basis and the impetus for missionary action." Regarding the first Christians we read how they were persevering in the teaching of the apostles And to the faithful of the Diocese of Alessandria engaged in a journey of synodal journey of pastoral renewal “I hope that all communities will devote the necessary effort to advancing along the path of a pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are 'Mere administration' can no longer be enough let us be 'permanently in a state of mission'.” Pope Francis' called for this synodal journey to instill a "growth in fraternal communion" among the Bishop invoking the Lord's blessing for every success Addressing the young pilgrims from the Diocese of Spoleto-Norcia the Pope explained how the Sacrament of Confirmation is also a journey "because it re-relives the experience of Jesus' first disciples." To their names The Pope then asked the young people if they remembered the date of their baptism,  It is especially important for you who are confirmed or those to be confirmed The Christian life is a house that is built on the foundation of Baptism The foundation is always the same: Baptism That is why it is important to remember the day we were baptized Pope Francis recalled how the young people come from earthquake-damaged territories so they understand the importance of what it means to have a solid house He also responded to their request to bless a stone brought to him from the ancient Abbey of St so that it may become "a symbol of its reconstruction."  saying "I bless each one of you so that you may become a living stone to build up the Christian community: a living stone in the family To be living stones: this is possible with the power of the Holy Spirit who in Confirmation confirms you as baptized children of God and members of the Church."

The newest change adds a six-kilometre detour to avoid Alessandria, bringing the total distance to 305km in addition to the neutral 10km stretch out of Milan. The UCI rules impose a maximum distance for elite men's races of 280km for the Olympic Games and World Championships, 240km for Continental and National championships and 200km for 1.Pro, 1.1 and 1.2-ranked races, but the Pro Cycling Council is left to decide how long WorldTour races can be. Milan-San Remo organisers already received an exception to reduce the team sizes to six riders in order to allow two Italian Pro Continental squads - Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec and Bardiani CSF Faizané - to be added while the start list remains inside the maximum 176 riders for WorldTour races.

All rights reserved A new report by Greenpeace Italia denounces the presence of toxic compounds produced by Solvay Solexis also in the Turin area and other parts of Piedmont and not only those around Spinetta Marengo the Alessandria district where the multinational Solvay Solexis This is the conclusion of a new report by Greenpeace Italy which denounces the presence of perfluoroalkyl substances in drinking water in Piedmont While in the province of Alessandria there are high concentrations of PFOA (considered carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and whose production has been banned for 10 years) in the metropolitan area of Turin there are traces of the compound cC6O4 produced in Italy "exclusively" by Solvay Solexis which recently changed its name to Syensqo 125,000 Piedmontese drank carcinogenic substances over a long period of time without knowing that they were carcinogenic "It was thought that PFAS pollution in Italy only affected the Veneto or Alessandria regions," says Giuseppe Ungherese "areas where there were or still are industrial plants producing these dangerous molecules In recent months we have shown that the problem also affects many areas of Lombardy Today we are forced to denounce that even in Piedmont there are other areas where the problem is significant Greenpeace Italy has asked all the managers of Piedmont's drinking water networks and the health authorities (ASL) for access to the results of analyses carried out to detect PFAS in drinking water there are still no national limits for these substances which have been considered dangerous since 2001 Most managers and local health authorities have never looked for the compounds in drinking water even though Piedmont is home to Italy's only producer The data presented come mainly from two provinces: Alessandria and Turin Solvay Solexis has been discharging the effluent from its industrial collector into the Bormida river since acquiring the chemical centre in 2002 Solvay Solexis had already been warned in 2007 that its industrial effluent was releasing PFAS and damaging the environment The alarm had been raised by the European Union had identified the Po as the river with the highest level of PFAS pollution in Europe Professor Michael MacLachlan wrote an email to the company: “From our studies we believe that the most likely source of PFOA emissions into the river is your industry we urge you to investigate.” Solvay Solexis replied that other industries were discharging into the River Po and that there were no limits on these substances we have had to wait until 2021 to have parameters on discharge levels in Piedmont despite the fact that Arpa Piemonte (the regional authority on the environmental protection) started monitoring these compounds in 2008 together with the National Research Council (CNR) the body that discovered the largest PFAS contamination in Veneto in 2013 Thanks to the cooperation of the local health authority in Alessandria Greenpeace was able to re-establish the monitoring of drinking water in Alessandria If the chemical plant has had no impact in the area close to the production site has not spared several municipalities along the Scrivia river: Alzano Scrivia recorded a PFOA presence above the limit of 100 nanograms per litre set by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) It is a pity that none of these municipalities has been contacted by the Arpa laboratory which was informed of the presence of cC6O4 in the drinking water network in June 2020 The municipality was contacted by ARPA and ASL and two days later it was decided to close the main well Greenpeace asks: how is it that in these five municipalities on the Scrivia ASL waited until 7 August 2023 (from November 2019) to change the supply point seven days after the NGO's request for data which can also be consulted via a map with yellow and green dots indicating the monitoring carried out over the years The water network manager for the province of Turin the Società metropolitana acque Torino (SMAT) provided the data obtained in 2023 (following research begun five years earlier) and its analysis shows that 14 municipalities tested positive for the compound cC6O4 it is possible to draw a kind of map that goes from Bardonecchia to Ivrea with values that reach 66 nanograms in Cintano As in the case of the five towns in the province of Alessandria where there was a lack of communication from the authorities no document sent by SMAT to the contaminated centres has been delivered to Greenpeace for these 14 municipalities the entry “PFAS sum” appeared on the SMAT website dedicated to the analysis of compounds monitored in drinking water as the operator has been producing data on PFAS since 2018 the year in which it involved the chemistry department of the University of Turin in the search for these emerging pollutants which were then found in several municipalities The province of Turin is already aware of cC6O4 after ARPA Piemonte found traces of the compound in the leachate of the Barricalla landfill in the municipality of Collegno tens of kilometres from the production centre of the multinational Solvay Solexis which has always denied selling PFAS to research centres and universities Contrary to the dossier on drinking water in Lombardy published in May 2002 with data supplied by the bodies involved in Piedmont Greenpeace has received negative replies from almost all the managers There are two reasons for this: on the one hand the entry into force of the limits for PFAS in water is not expected until January 2026 and the decision taken in 2019 to monitor only the Alessandria area In the 2019 health monitoring programme (Prisa) the region includes an appendix from ARPA Nord Ovest (Turin) which recommends that only the area affected by the actual contamination the administrations and local health authorities have avoided testing for carcinogenic compounds in Piedmont's drinking water for years Greenpeace carried out its own sampling in July 2023 indicated the presence of PFOS in the municipality of Galliate Inquinamento Click here to see Canada's most comprehensive listing of projects in conceptual and planning stages Alessandria Trigila isn’t the first female to opt for a construction career but at the age of 25 she has already achieved the position of project coordinator with Clifford Restoration/Clifford Masonry Being young and a female manager in the predominantly male dominated construction industry has more than a few challenges especially when your father runs the companies growing up in a construction family and accompanying her father on weekends to construction sites and then working summers for the companies in a variety of roles during high school and university did lay the groundwork for her future career "I was fortunate enough to have the advantage of being dragged along to jobsites since the age of five," says Trigila stressing she didn’t actually go on construction sites but would listen to her father discuss issues with employees and clients as they stood on sidewalk or in a nearby restaurant she cleaned and sorted materials in the company yard or updated suppliers’ lists and then was given more responsibility working with the safety department designing safety manuals she worked her way up to project administrator assistant before graduating from Queen’s University in Kingston "It (the industry) always fascinated me but I wasn’t sure it was something I would be interested in long term." Shortly after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and Economics in June 2014 she applied and was offered a customer service position with a bank asked if she wanted to enter project management But Trigila says she didn’t receive any preferential treatment in the initial hiring process and hasn’t received any since her father told her to submit a resume and then interviewed her before offering her a position but fair as he is with any of the other staff members and in the end I appreciated that I was treated like any other applicant." To dispel any suggestions or hints of favouritism or nepotism the senior Trigila made it clear she "would have to work twice as hard and put in double the effort." Trigila worked alongside with her father and other senior project managers but was gradually handed management of the restoration of the south tower of Toronto’s Bishop Strachan School Other projects have followed including her most recent one at the Church of the Redeemer in Toronto where she has managed the restoration of its bell tower and some of the church walls "I learn something new every day and utilize everything as best as I can to ensure a project runs as smooth as possible." Although she can rely on her father and other senior company personnel for advice Trigila says she — and any other project manager — have to think and make decisions quickly on the job site "At some point you can’t keep saying ‘I’ll get back to you on that’." she studied Construction Project Management at Toronto’s George Brown College at nights and some Saturdays completing the program in a short 10-month period "It was a great environment to listen to stories from job roles I had never assumed It also gave me an opportunity to work with people from different fields and background during group projects and assignments is that it put me on par with my co-workers." and the leadership training she received at Queen’s University has helped her cope with the day-to-day job challenges Trigila also draws inspiration from other "construction female role models," specifically referring to Dawn Tattle "I would encourage not only young women but young people in general to consider a career in construction dynamic industry to be involved in and the opportunities are endless." Not only has it given her the opportunity to restore some of "Ontario’s hallmark addresses," it has also allowed her to give back to the community Early this past summer she was the project manager of the "Gift Box" a Faith- Alliance initiative designed to raise awareness about human trafficking The Clifford companies donated all the labour materials and installed the large walk-in structure at a downtown Toronto church The outside was decorated to be a wrapped gift catching people’s attention and representing how people are lured into human trafficking while the inside depicts its harsh realities "I found it (being involved) one of the most rewarding projects as it was a labour of love to help raise awareness and help in the fight to eliminate human trafficking."

insufficient means and inadequately supported soldiers (so much so that they were forced to loot the territory to feed themselves) Napoleon’s idea was to march on Milan (where the French entered in early June) and immediately seek a clash with the Austrians to cut their lines between Genoa and Milan the French managed to inflict a first defeat on the Austrians The clash took place near the Bormida River because it was a key area for communications: the French seemed destined for defeat but on the afternoon of June 14 the arrival of reinforcements led by General Louis Charles Desaix (who died during the battle struck by a bullet) enabled the French to launch an unexpected counterattack Today there are still many places that tell the story of the Battle of Marengo in and around Alexandria: the clash has entered into Napoleonic myth (so much so that it is considered Napoleon’s favorite battle) and can be retraced through numerous testimonies in the area a 19th-century residence in Spinetta Marengo multimedia materials and more to document the clash of June 14 The entrance to the museum is the "Pyramid," which commemorates Napoleonic events Napoleon returned to Alexandria to celebrate the battle before the world and the leader appeared before a crowd of dignitaries and generals in the same uniform he wore on June 14 five years earlier Napoleon wanted a great pyramid to be erected on the plain of Marengo along with the sacrifice of General Desaix and his men would eternally commemorate his victory: “Let it rise from stone to stone as on that of Egypt.” Its construction began immediately and work was in the home stretch but it was destroyed with the return of the Austrians to the area The City of Alexandria built a new cast-iron Pyramid in 2009 which has become a symbol of the museum and Napoleonic Alexandria A tour of the sites of the Battle of Marengo can begin at the bridge over the Bormida River rebuilt in the Napoleonic period over the Romanesque bridge built by Benedictine monks in the 14th century The Austrian army passed through here before the clash against the French army At the bridgehead stands the giant plane tree that tradition says was planted in 1800 by Napoleon to honor the approximately 2,000 soldiers who died on the day of the battle and the 10,000 wounded on both sides The plant is over 200 years old and about 40 meters tall (its foliage covers an area of about 400 square meters in spring-summer) The tree is owned by the City of Alexandria and protected by the local superintendency one of the most monumental in its historic center In 1804 it appears that Napoleon via stayed during his trip to be crowned emperor in Paris the palace is said to have hosted Napoleon’s nephew at the beginning of the Second War of Independence: in the same palace General François Certain de Canrobert had taken lodging with the General Staff of the French army that would support the Italians in the war against Austria the Citadel of Alexandria constitutes one of the grandest European monuments in the field of permanent fortification of the 18th century one of the few still standing and certainly one of the best preserved in Europe It is the only lowland fortress built by the Savoy family in the 18th century and is the only European fortress still set in its original environmental context after the triumphs of the Battle of Marengo and his ascension to the imperial throne of France decided to expand and restore the fortress and surround the city with new defenses and eight new fortifications in order to create a large logistical base intended to support the operations of the French army deployed in northern Italy urban development was planned in the built-up area of Marengo the location and effectiveness of the modern fortifications made the Citadel one of the most spectacular fortresses in the empire and the richest arsenal in all of Europe Napoleon wanted to make the Citadel a kind of “eastern gateway” to France In Alexandria you can also visit the Civic Museum located in a wing of the Palazzo Cuttica di Cassine (visit the Napoleonic rooms and admire the armchair of Empress Maria Luigia and art rooms with the collection of Giovanni Migliara and the frescoes of the Arthurian cycle) Other Napoleonic routes pass by Novi Ligure where the Napoleonic battle of 1799 was fought

but Sinisa Mihajlovic's side are through to the 2016 final.AC Milan ended third-tier Alessandria's Coppa Italia dreams to reach the final after a 5-0 win on Tuesday Having won the first leg 1-0 courtesy of Mario Balotelli's penalty the in-form Serie A side completed the job at San Siro as Jeremy Menez and Alessio Romagnoli scored two apiece While there was no dispute about Menez's measured finish and tap-in Romagnoli's opening close-range goal – his first for the club – raised suspicions of offside and the linesman did initially appear to indicate as much Alessandria provided a spirited second-half showing but still succumbed to another Romagnoli goal and Balotelli's cool finish and will return to Lega Pro action sitting just three points off a play-off spot Milan have not won the Coppa Italia since 2003 but will seek to end that wait when they face either city rivals Inter or Juventus – who meet on Wednesday – in the Rome final in May The result extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 12 matches with Sinisa Mihajlovic's men having lost only once in 2016 Keisuke Honda missed a glorious chance to put the hosts ahead inside seven minutes the Japan international somehow side-footing over the empty net from eight yards after Juraj Kucka's run and pass had taken goalkeeper Gianmarco Vannucchi out of the equation.  Genoa and Spezia on their way to the last four and proved they would be no pushovers this time out either with Christian Abbiati forced to deny Vedran Celjak from a tight angle.  when Menez controlled Honda's lofted pass with his chest and steered an effort into the bottom-left corner with 20 minutes gone The tie was effectively over just four minutes later as Romagnoli touched home from two yards out following a corner with Alessandria's calls for offside ultimately dismissed There was further punishment to come before the break Menez – who only returned from a back injury last month – putting the finishing touch on a well-worked move Still the visitors refused to give up the fight in the second half pressing forward and seeing Manuel Fischnaller head narrowly wide from a free-kick The underdogs came even closer to a consolation soon after but despite Michele Marconi's shot going through Abbiati's legs Mattia De Sciglio got back to clear off the line And a fourth arrived at the other end 10 minutes from time when Romagnoli forced the ball over the line following a corner while Balotelli raced away to slot in another at the death as Mihajlovic – four times a winner of the competition as a player – led his men to the final with
