community as opposed to the … previous prudential committee,” Abrantes said “And [I want] better communication with the fire district itself.” Becky Vital Amaral said she’s pleased with the turnout in her favor considering she “did very little campaigning” compared to Abrantes’ signs and mailers “Having such a large turnout in my favor shows that residents are concerned about the direction the department is moving,” Amaral said Abrantes is replacing former Prudential Committee member Bob Bouley shortly after a recall petition was presented to him Abrantes was part of the group that led the recall effort which faulted Bouley for removing Greg Edgcomb from his position as acting fire chief “without any process and in violation of the Open Meeting Law and the District By-Laws” and for

All five of UC San Diego's men's and women's divers, under the guidance of first-year diving coach Jon Real produced the necessary scores earlier in the year to get on the plane to Alabama and participate on Tuesday Abrantes navigated through the qualifier on the basis of her eighth-place finish in the three-meter springboard event She will be the Tritons' first female diver in the main NCAA draw in over a decade Out of 36 divers on three-meter, true freshman Tiffany Wong was 25th (207.55), and sophomores Delainey Carlin (Carlsbad/Carlsbad HS) and Patty Sullivan 34th (187.40) and 35th (184.80) On the men's side, junior newcomer Trevor Jackson (Ramona/Ramona HS) competed only on the one-meter board and placed 22nd of 24 with 200.75 points Abrantes and Sullivan were making their second appearances in the pre-qualification meet Abrantes will compete in preliminaries of one-meter diving on Thursday and three-meter on the final day of the NCAA Championships this Saturday they would take place during the evening sessions After the top nine from each board advance automatically to the main draw an alternating format is used to fill out the remainder of the 18-diver field for the men and 22-diver field for the women for preliminaries with four of them strictly eligible for relays will commence their participation at the NCAA Championships on Wednesday morning Thanks for

Metrics details Regulatory boundaries and species distributions often do not align This is especially the case for marine species crossing multiple Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) Such movements represent a challenge for fisheries management as policies tend to focus at the national level yet international collaborations are needed to maximize long-term ecological social and economic benefits of shared marine species we combined species distributions and the spatial delineation of EEZs at the global level to identify the number of commercially exploited marine species that are shared between neighboring nations We found that 67% of the species analyzed are transboundary (n = 633) fisheries targeting these species within global-EEZs caught on average 48 million tonnes per year equivalent to an average of USD 77 billion in annual fishing revenue over 90% of their catch and economic benefits were attributable to a few shared resources Our analysis suggests that catches from transboundary species are declining more than those from non-transboundary species Our study has direct implications for managing fisheries targeting transboundary species highlighting the need for strengthened effective and equitable international cooperation Our study focuses on the “transboundary” nature of shared species exploited by fisheries operating within EEZs having an accurate understanding of the distribution and scale of transboundary and straddling fish stocks as well as associated fisheries is important to inform their sustainable management these studies did not consider species’ biogeography in the quantification of transboundary stocks we aim to estimate the number of exploited marine species shared by neighboring countries and determine their contribution to global and regional catches as well as fisheries revenue we categorize species according to their catch trends while identifying differences among species based on habitat preference We hypothesize that the methodological constraints of previous studies resulted in an underestimation of the number of transboundary species and their contribution to global catch and revenue For this analysis we only considered shared species between neighboring EEZs rather than the species’ extended distribution (e.g. We rely on multiple data sources including occurrence and only consider a species to be present in a grid cell if all data sources showed positive occurrence (see Methods) Anchoveta in Ecuadorian waters only include a small proportion of the shared distribution range (spatial threshold between Ecuador and Peru < 10%; see Methods—Criteria 3) and thus do not meet our criteria for consideration as a transboundary stock A situation similar to the example of Peruvian anchoveta in Ecuadorian waters is common amongst the transboundary species identified in this study 590 of the 633 transboundary species have stocks in EEZs that do not meet our criteria for consideration as transboundary stock The annual average contribution from all excluded stocks of transboundary species to fisheries (e.g. Ecuador’s anchoveta catch) between 2005 and 2014 was 10.8 million tonnes representing USD 19,243 million in fishing revenue over the same time period These five nations were responsible for 41% of the yearly global fisheries revenue from transboundary species Weighted

Games Joao Victor Oliva and Escorial Horse Campline achieved their second MER validating their qualification and place as hot favourites for the Brazilian individual spot in Tokyo Portuguese equestrian enterprise Horse Campline stepped in to host a new CDI in Abrantes after no less than five CDIs had been cancelled in Portugal since the beginning of the year "The CDI Alter was cancelled shortly before the due date so Horse Campline decided to grab the FEI qualification date and go forward with an international dressage event as many Portuguese riders were eager to show at their first international of the year," said Maria Amaral "Horse Campline set up a successful event in just two weeks time with the objective of giving riders the opportunity to obtain qualification scores for upcoming championships such as Olympic Games CDI Abrantes with a lush green backgroundThe CDI Horse Campline was held in Abrantes an equestrian centre which has been host to international shows in previous years As the Horse Campline headquarters are still under construction the company opted to rent this venue with very few resident horses facilitating the guarantee of compliance to all the EHV-1 FEI rules Horse Campline brought innovation to the show grounds applying the new concept of rider-audience engagement successfully tried out in northern Europe: riders were interviewed after the test and a live stream was offered which generated over 3,000 viewers on Saturday The event was the first opportunity of 2021 for Portuguese riders to re-confirm or achieve their Minimum Eligibility

Still present in so many cultures, the market takes place on the streets, and sellers do their businesses in carts, makeshift stands and tents, making the market place and the city space merge or coincide. SectionThe new Abrantes Market is at once building and street. One can cut across, going from one street to the other, either through the stairway opened at the northern edge, or wandering between the stands and the spiral staircase located at the southern edge. Deep down, it is basically a street, shaped with walls and covered by a white-washed shell of exposed concrete. © Fernando Guerra | FG+SGOn the top of the building two volumes capture the sunlight that flows to the lower floors through openings in the slabs at each level highlighting the concrete's texture and exposing the passing of the hours You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email The NJ Transit board is gaining a labor leader with experience in the construction sector who will join the board Tuesday for his first meeting is the assistant executive secretary-treasurer for the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters "As a labor leader with extensive experience in a variety of capacities within the construction industry I am eager to bring my insights and expertise to the table as we work towards advancing public transit services in our state," Abrantes said in a statement "Throughout my career within the construction sector I have witnessed the transformative impact that infrastructure projects can have on communities particularly how they spur economic activity and development," he said Engineers union without a contract authorized a strikeAbrantes' arrival comes while the agency is at odds with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen the remaining union at NJ Transit without a contract — the last one expired Dec The union authorized a strike in August after an overwhelming majority of its members voted in favor of it but it requires the National Mediation Board to "release" them to allow a strike and even then they could still face intervention from the president Abrantes said he has worked on collaboration between labor management and other community stakeholders in his work Meanwhile, the agency is in the process of moving to a new headquarters nearby especially after it was revealed by NorthJersey.com that officials went with the most expensive option despite facing a $120 million deficit in the fiscal year that starts July 1 and a nearly $1 billion shortfall a year later Abrantes will be among the board members who must attend some of 10 public hearings about the fare increases that are scheduled to be held in person in March More: NJ Transit's Access Link pilot that uses Lyft and taxis expands to Bergen, Passaic More: More turnover on NJ Transit board as agency faces fiscal cliff "My background in union leadership has equipped me with the necessary skills in negotiation and stakeholder engagement that will be invaluable as we address the evolving needs of our transit system," Abrantes said "I am excited to work alongside my fellow board members and other external stakeholders as I’m brought up to speed on the challenges confronting the agency in the post-pandemic era as well as how we can continue building on their successes moving forward," he said Other board members have left recentlySangeeta Doshi who had served on the board since former Senate President Steve Sweeney appointed her in 2020 said her term's expiration in January gave her an "opportunity to pursue other opportunities," in an emailed statement to NorthJersey.com "As someone who is extremely passionate about the environment I ensured sustainability remained a focus for NJ Transit throughout my tenure," Doshi wrote "I consider it a privilege to have served the residents of New Jersey and to have represented South Jersey on the board."

ideas and most of them are bad but sometimes I have some decent ones.” My particular idea this time around was to give away an extra turbo I had laying around It was a pretty damn good idea if you ask me but you could say the execution wasn’t the smoothest even so it gave me an excuse to fly out to Florida to meet  Jonathan Abrantes and see his Candy Red 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost he and his family moved to America where he and his dad became close over a shared love of cars Jon had reached out to me via Instagram as he had heard I was giving away a turbo Jon had informed me that he would be drag racing his Mustang at an in-state event a few cities away from him I knew it was going to be some sort of drag race but had no idea that the event would attract some of the fastest street cars in the United States I booked my flight out to Tampa and got to the track intake to see Jon offloading his Mustang and putting on a set of Forgestar F14 drag pack wheels wrapped in giant Mickey Thompson tires This was Jons first time with the car on a race track and he was determined to make as many passes as he could Jon shared he got the bug for speed at a young age and his father and he installed a turbo kit Fun times and many blown engines ensued before they graduated to a beat up They managed to rebuild the engine but failure persisted with this vehicle One day  Jon was walking through a grocery store and saw a photo of the new 2015 S550 Ford Mustang on a magazine cover that thing is sexy,” Jon said of the mustang He found out the S550 came with a 4-cylinder option which prompted him to dip into  savings before making his way to eBay we agreed if the price went down $1,000 we could get the car,” Jon said of the car he had his eyes set on He added that much to his disbelief the next morning the price had dropped $1,000 Jon immediately called the owner to arrange payment and pick up Jon was proud to tell me that he and his father built this car themselves and from my first impressions What caught my eye first was that Jon was using an air gun to remove his lug nuts The hose it was hooked to was attached to the compressor tank in the trunk – the Ecoboost sitting on Air Lift Performance strut airbags but the Candy Red Autoflex Dip looks wild when exposed to the sun to black and glaring bright orange with some sparkle flare Jon replaced the OEM bumper with a much more aggressive IKON GT350 replica I appreciate that they went the extra mile with the fangs and canards Jon bravely opened up these extremely expensive OEM headlights and has replaced the OEM DRL’s with Starry Nights Tribal Boards he added their Demon Eyes and LED tubes that run below the headlight housing Jon mentioned “One of the most difficult/annoying mods was my headlights since I changed/modified them three times those three times were definitely times where I wanted to throw in the towel and let someone else do it for me Many of my friends paid other people to do their headlights and they came to me to do theirs (I refused) but they weren’t happy with their headlights after paying someone to do it but loved mine which brought some pride into it and showed how proud I was that I did them myself instead of being unhappy with a job I paid someone else to do.” The stock hood has been swapped out for GT hood that adds a light flare with it’s added double gills on the side Jon has installed a MAP Performance Turbo Kit that has boosted figures from a stock 256 wheel horsepower to over 457 WHEEL Horsepower Jon states that he loves the power that has been added but the turbo lag is unreasonable I gave him the Turbonetics NX2 Drop-In turbocharger and anti-surge compressor housing to help reduce lag the turbo is over 2.5x larger than the OEM turbo This additional airflow dramatically increases power while nearly matching the spool time of the stock turbo Jon will be doing a full install in the coming week so stay tuned the direct injection system just cannot supply fuel fast enough To help save our environment while making power a Radium Engineering fuel rail has been installed between the intake manifold and cylinder head This allows Jon to run an additional 4 injectors to help the demand of extra fuel needed when running ethanol / E85 A Split Second Fuel Controller is used to help control the additional injectors a Bluetooth ethanol content sensor lets Jon know exactly what percentage of ethanol is flowing to the engine To evacuate the block with all that extra boost a UPR catch can and check valve has been installed to help our 2.3L block breathe the pressurized gases Jon has installed an obnoxiously loud Turbosmart Supersonic blow off valve for maximum PSH sounds and turbo protection Let’s shut the hood and take a look at the side profile of this Mustang This Ecoboost is quite literally and figuratively on the ground thanks to a complete Airlift Performance Strut + Bag combo In the trunk is Airlift Performance 3P management system + compressor tank are a sponsored set of Vertini RF1.5 Wheels featuring a 5 split spoke design 20×9 +32 up front and a 20×10.5 +45 in the rear FF Performance has provided Jon a set of Forgestar F14 Drag Pack wheels measuring in at 17×10 +44 colored in Gunmetal Mounted up to those Drag Packs are a very aggressive standing Mickey Thompson ET Street R Bias Tire Under the side skirts lies a strip of underflow for the true tuner pop Wrapping up the rear of Jon’s car is an Ikon GT350R V2 fiberglass spoiler. I think this spoiler compliments the front very well especially with the low stance. A set of custom burnt quad tips completes his rear exhaust section. Jon’s interior remains fairly stock with Carbon Fiber wrap accenting the dash and many other bits and pieces. Not to worry! Jon will be swapping out his MAP Performance kit for our Turbonetics NX2 Drop-In turbocharger. jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-57-34_338248 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-56-36_931146 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-55-34_823846 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-01-35_404210 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-57-03_340541 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-06-58_159513 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-03-18_040121 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-07-27_705900 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-06-17_359108 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-58-13_429869 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-05-16_504870 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-02-33_449687 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-04-36_589589 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-03-57_197563 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-00-46_765584 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_19-00-11_603471 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-58-31_453087 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-59-39_774605 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-59-02_459203 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-57-53_310138 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-55-11_022365 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-54-04_664553 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-53-42_193574 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-53-11_529821 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-52-36_727897 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-52-07_018992 jonathan-abrantes-shows-2015-mustang-at-fl2k18-2018-10-24_18-51-37_484073 Build your own custom newsletter with the content you love from Street Muscle, directly to your inbox, absolutely FREE! © 2025 Power Automedia.
