received in the specialized laboratory of the Lourinhã Museum where the work of its preparation and conservation is taking place” In the note, the municipality, led by Aurélio Ferreira, says that the excavation of the fossilized skeleton was carried out by the team of paleontologists from the Lourinhã Museum and by the services of the Municipality of Marinha Grande, in accordance with the guidelines of the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) “was very challenging because it was conditioned by the tides sea conditions and difficult access to machines capable of transporting the block of

Casa Vera Cruz in partnership with the Agency for Integration and the latter through an agreement between the municipality and AIMA The expansion of the national CLAIM network is an item in the

build a green hydrogen production plant in the municipality of Marinha Grande, as part of the Nazaré Green Hydrogen Valley Project which aims to decarbonise industries that consume natural gas To be installed in the Casal da Lebre industrial area particularly in the glass sector that consume large amounts of natural gas to replace this fossil fuel with green hydrogen to be produced in Marinha Grande “We plan to build a green hydrogen production plant and supply green hydrogen via the pipeline to the industries in the Marinha Grande industrial park, which are the three glass industries and, eventually, the cement industry that is outside this industrial park but is in the Leiria cycle,” João Rosa Santos, the commercial manager of Rega Energy He explained that “the hydrogen pipeline will go to each of these industrial units” through pipes identical to those for gas João Rosa Santos added that the environmental impact study has already been carried out and submitted to the Portuguese Environment Agency Admitting that the reduction in CO2 will be “only a small part” because companies will continue to consume fossil natural gas the manager highlights the importance of always verifying a reduction in greenhouse gas The construction of the factory for the production of green hydrogen will not require the installation of solar panels since a European regulation “allows this type of installation to be connected to existing renewable solar photovoltaic and wind energy production parks by 2028” the production of green hydrogen uses renewable sources and electricity and the water used “comes from the wastewater treatment plant of the industrial area itself” “What we are doing is negotiating with the owners of existing solar and wind farms and buying the energy from them” João Rosa Santos does not hide the fact that green hydrogen is “an expensive energy” “which is cheaper because there are more and more fossil natural gas deposits in the world This is a path that obviously requires a large investment on the part of companies which are absolutely committed to progressively replacing their consumption of fossil fuels with green energy” He also stated that “there is regulatory pressure to achieve very demanding decarbonisation targets in 2030 under penalty of being penalised with payment of CO2 emission licences João Rosa Santos also considered that this “ecosystem is favourable for [companies] to have all the conditions to continue developing their production” because this transition is “a great driver and fixer of existing jobs and Rega Energy’s objective is to be “supplying the first molecule” in Marinha Grande by 2027 The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) in Macau is working to assist companies in Marinha Grande according to a university representative who spoke to Lusa news agency the head of the USJ delegation in Portugal the objective is “to support companies in the municipality of Marinha Grande in their internationalization

branches with other paths through the garden with its reflective surface generating a scenographic setting in front of the house they are greeted by a large porch accompanied by a parking space there’s a welcome patio that serves as the heart of the house This area perforates the large black square covering of the house organizes the ‘U’ shape of the house and separates the social area from the intimate area The concrete exterior walls wrap around the private areas of the house to protect them generating a strong contrasting effect with the transparency of the glass base the glass enclosure blurs the boundaries between the outside and the inside leaving the surrounding greenery and the courtyard garden to invade the interior the industrial look disappears and occupants immerse themselves in the comfort and coziness of the environment.  a central piece of furniture separates the living room from the office and the bathroom there is the kitchen that opens toward the planted garden The corridor that connects the social area to the intimate rooms goes around the central patio wrapping around the courtyard and enjoying ample natural light at all times of the day the green of the garden permeates the interior through the transparent walls again destroying the boundaries between the outside and the inside.  name: Marinha Grande House designer: Contaminar Arquitetos

For many years Portugal has been actively involved in celebrating World Judo Day and has always been among the most active countries as part of a national campaign dedicated to sporting values and specifically to the 'Say No to Racism' campaign World Judo Day was included and celebrated by all sports in the country In 2021 World Judo Day was not only celebrated by the national judo federation but also by the IPDJ the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth which co-ordinated the links between World Judo Day and the 'Say No to Racism' initiative together with several well known names of Portugese sport and culture and from the government Marinha Grande Judo Club has been a strong and regular presence at IJF events including all IJF campaigns aimed at the young ones The celebration on 28th October 2021 began with a demonstration from young judoka from Marinha Grande during which the Secretary of State was seen wearing a judogi and a yellow belt on the tatami an unexpectedly strong commitment to the judo values officially launched the 'Say No to Racism' campaign a campaign that was supported by two black and blind ambassadors who emphasised the capacity sport has to overcome barriers They opened their hearts to the audience and shared their personal experiences During the conference that was held on the same day who went to the Olympics and was ranked 8th at the 1989 World Championships in Switzerland stated that his sport is unmistakably judo now working for the International Judo Federation who presented inclusive sport projects such as Judo For Peace and Judo in Schools "Today we celebrate World Judo Day and we saw the involvement of the national judo federation and the President of the judo club of Marinha Grande Leandra Freitas from the International Judo Federation and many others especially when lived through the supreme values of sport The children here today could talk about the judo values and it is beautiful to see this I have a son who practises judo and I know there is friendship sincerity and many more values involved and these are already more than enough to contribute to a great way of life I am convinced that those two hours we spent together were special for everyone  I can tell you that it made me forget something that happened yesterday but the budget fell and the budget is an important instrument of government action I had a bit of apprehension but actually I forgot about it at least for two hours This is because we are here doing something extremely important I was thinking about what our judoka speakers just said about what judo teaches us It teaches us to fall and then to rise again The budget dropped yesterday and now we're going to have to find a way to get up and try What our young judoka transmitted to us today at such a young age is important for each one of us." This was our project, certified with the Ethics flag (the first school in Portugal with a judo project). At the same time, we have many concerted actions with the Judo Clube da Marinha Grande. We have another judo project, for instance, involving our judo and school sports students working with autistic students."

in the municipality of Marinha Grande is of a new species of ichthyosaur (fish-lizards) and was the first identified in the Iberian Peninsula “It is a completely new species to science and was the first found and identified in the entire Iberian Peninsula; that is, it broadens the range of what was known about these animals at this time,” said João Pratas, researcher and collaborator at the Lourinhã Museum The Marinha Grande Council announced that “a new species of marine reptile from the ichthyosaur group ’ which inhabited the region more than 190 million years ago this new ichthyosaur was discovered on the beach of Água de Madeiros a teacher at the Francisco Rodrigues Lobo Secondary School the name ‘Gadusaurus aqualigneus’ makes “reference to cod (‘Gadus’) due to the morphological similarities with ichthyosaurs “The choice of name pays homage to the fish that is an identity symbol of Portuguese culture linking paleontological heritage and intangible heritage,” he explained The municipality stated that it was “a relatively small animal distinguished by a large nasal foramen [orifice] larger than that documented in other species and by two symmetrical grooves in the surrounding bones” suggesting that it is a younger animal whose bones were not yet well fused or that the bones moved during the fossilization process,” he explained the first author of a scientific article published a week ago in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica stated that after the discovery by Isabel Morais Roldão the professor handed over the specimen to the Lourinhã Museum This was followed by preparation and cleaning work in the museum's laboratories said the PhD student from Universidade Nova de Lisboa “We then made comparisons with other existing ichthyosaurs which is the typical procedure for trying to identify what we are dealing with,” he added explaining that everything is included in the article now published The animal “is part of a group of marine reptiles that were the ichthyosaurs” “a group of reptiles that adapted to a marine environment developing a very hydrodynamic body shape” “It is the type of evolution similar to what is observed today in modern whales They would be animals with a very hydrodynamic body tails and fins similar to those of a shark or a dolphin and they also had very large eyes,” he explained João Pratas said that the region between Marinha Grande and Lourinhã (Lisbon) has always had a large collection of fossils it was fortunate that this region had several of the characteristics necessary to be good places for preserving fossils And that is why it is quite common to find several things in these regions that allow us to make discoveries like the one in this article,” added the researcher This website is

between students teachers and management bodies “through regular contacts” to “increase mutual understanding and friendship” The document stipulates as priorities the fields of Arts Technology and Sport in cooperation projects and activities “The signing of the protocols we witness today can serve as an important platform for further educational exchanges between schools,” said Alexis Tam in his speech at the ceremony He also pointed out the “unique exchange opportunities” that twinning offers students emphasizing their contribution to “broadening students’ vision during visits and
