a “fair resolution of this matter.” director of the Immigrants’ Rights and Human Trafficking Program at Boston University School of Law told GBH News on Friday that she was disappointed by the outcome of the case She’s worried that the deal will make it harder for victims in this case to get help and add to fears in the immigrant community that traffickers will not be punished “The alleged conduct really includes telltale signs of trafficking including individuals being paid $3 per hour threats to throw workers out of the housing that they then provided which are really red flags in terms of trafficking offenses,'' she said ”I worry a little bit about the chilling impact it will have on survivors in stepping forward.“ The men face up to ten years in prison for each migrant violation Jesse

headquarters from Burlington to Woburn settling into a 9,800-square-foot space at the TradeCenter 128 business and technology campus the company sought a similarly high-profile location with a modern aesthetic “TradeCenter 128 delivers on all counts—and at a value—less than three miles away,” Cusano said Reveneer has grown into a major player in the sales outsourcing industry employing hundreds across two key hubs in Woburn and Fort Lauderdale The company’s expansion reflects its continued growth and prominence with frequent recognition on The Boston Globe’s “Top Places to Work” and Inc Magazine’s list of fastest-growing American companies The lease agreement was facilitated by Cusano alongside Hunneman executive vice president Steve James and associate Henry Birmingham Cummings Properties’ in-house teams managed a custom buildout tailored to Reveneer’s needs “Thanks to our strong relationships at Hunneman and our in-house design/build capabilities we were able to quickly deliver the right deal in the right space for the client,” Cusano noted Reveneer’s move to TradeCenter 128 offers employees access to a variety of amenities The campus is home to Teresa’s Ristorante Bar & Pizzeria Apple Spice Boxed Lunch Delivery & Catering An Indian street food and sandwich café is also set to open later this year Cusano emphasized the importance of an amenity-rich environment in attracting and retaining top talent and post-work gatherings can make a meaningful difference for employee satisfaction,” he said Reveneer’s transition to Woburn marks another milestone for the rapidly growing firm reinforcing its commitment to innovation and workplace excellence it’s not at a swanky downtown restaurant — it’s at Sally’s Apizza 85-year-old New Haven pizzeria opened its first Massachusetts location in Woburn in December with lines out the door and around the block I know; I saw them every time I scooted into HomeGoods next door to do my holiday shopping who had unsuccessfully attempted to order a takeout pie at 5 p.m. when the restaurant opened (they’ll launch lunch service soon) [We] won’t be able to start processing your order until 8:00.’ I was grocery shopping in the nearby Market Basket so I decided to just go over to the restaurant and order a pizza in person They told me it was very busy and the pizza wouldn’t be ready until 9 ‘I’m not going to wait four hours for a pizza.’ I left and ordered a pizza elsewhere,” the reader lamented attributable to a few bumps in the road of starting a new business or if their pizza is so good there’s always going to be a long wait It might be of benefit to your readers to look into this and see what’s going on.” What’s going on is that Sally’s thin-crust pizza has lots of fans and is therefore swamped I first attempted to dine in with a party of five — arriving right when doors opened — and was quoted a nearly three-hour wait I was advised to make a reservation next time but be forewarned: Sally’s only takes reservations for parties of four or fewer A post shared by Sally’s Apizza (@sallysapizza) my family spent the next week or so trying to snag takeout I would log on as if I were trying to get Taylor Swift tickets ready to pounce and place my online order as soon as doors opened But no: I also received a message saying that due to high demand I wasn’t given the option of ordering and waiting Clearly, the hungry Globe reader and I aren’t alone: Sally’s has posted a user guide on social media because of the demand Tips include the fact that “takeout is limited” and “be prepared to order fast.” There’s also the option of calling in an order I was given the choice of visiting the restaurant in person to place my order — which I would’ve loved to do And a Sally’s rep says that they’ll soon lift takeout limitations if you hanker for an authentic New Haven slice — that isn’t from Frank Pepe which also now has locations throughout the area — don’t give up hope And if a trip to Woburn isn’t in your future? A Seaport location is in the offing. Just book your reservations in advance. 300 Mishawum Road, Woburn, 781-399-5264, www.sallysapizza.com It continued Sunday afternoon against Woburn in the Div 2 MIAA semifinals at the Tsongas Center in Lowell After giving up a goal in the first 11 seconds of play Geoghan pitched a shutout for the Bulldogs the rest of the way in a 2-1 victory over Woburn to reach the state title game More: 'We don't want to feel it again': Luke Ryan, Scituate boys hockey have unfinished business More: South Shore high school top performers in MIAA playoffs Four and a half minutes after Woburn's strike, Cullen O'Brien got the equalizer for Canton, erasing the early Tanner lead. Conceding the early goal didn't fluster Geoghan, which didn't come as a surprise to head coach Brian Shuman. "You don't need to say anything to Connor, that's the best part," Shuman said. "He just knows. So many times during the year I'd look at him, and he goes, 'I know, I got it, I got it.'" Whatever "it" is, Geoghan had it from that point on. In the second period, senior captain Travis Thomas gave the Bulldogs the lead, which turned out to be the game-deciding goal. Moments later, Geoghan found himself in a 1-on-1 situation on a Woburn breakaway and made a potential game-winning stop. With his legs split and Geoghan lying on his stomach, he slid across the goal crease and stuffed a backhand attempt with his right pad. At the end of the period, he was greeted by each of his teammates one at a time as they slapped his helmet before they went to the locker room. "We told him that we had his back and that once we got one more, we're going to keep winning," Thomas said. Last season was Geoghan's first as the starting netminder for Canton, helping the Bulldogs earn a no. 2 seed in the state tournament. The Bulldogs fell short in the sweet 16, however, in a 4-2 upset win by No. 15 Masconomet. Now, Geoghan gets to experience playing at the TD Garden for a state championship for the first time as the starter in net. "I can't wait. I can't wait," Geoghan said. "Especially being on the bench sophomore year, it's going to be unreal to get out there." With the high-powered offense that Canton typically provides, recognizing the strong defensive play of the team can sometimes take a backseat. The Bulldogs scored 6 or more goals in nine games this season. But on Sunday, Geoghan and the defense had their time to shine in a game featuring only three total goals. "He's kind of the unsung hero of our team. He's been rock steady," Shuman said of Geoghan. "He doesn't get a lot of the accolades, but we knew his game was coming."

inspired by the company's old guitar amplifiers At 7.5kg in weight and 12.5 x 15.8 x 8.0 inches in measurement the Woburn 3 in Black would blend into any room decor.  Also: I spent hours testing

get a cavity on the back side to make it easier for you to pick up and move the speaker when needed.  The Marshall Woburn 3 isn't as feature-rich as some other speakers in this price range There's no Wi-Fi or voice assistant support Marshall has put a lot of effort into the hardware but has done a poor job by limiting wireless source support the speaker does a fantastic job at what it's made for.  Also: This unassuming Bluetooth speaker caught me off guard with big bass and clear mids The Woburn 3 features a 90 W Class D amplifier that powers a 6-inch woofer and dual 15 W amplifiers Two 15W Class D amplifiers drive the two 0.75-inch tweeters Prakhar Khanna/ZDNETI had the treble and bass knobs set to neutral throughout my testing The speaker delivers strong bass with the woofer's low-end power which delivers details even at low volumes You can feel the sub-bass thumps at 30% volume or more Also: Finally, a Bluetooth speaker that rivals my Bose SoundLink Max - and it much more affordable and heavy metal equally as much as acoustic music and the acoustic strums also sound bright and detailed and the mids are detailed with sparkly highs the higher frequencies tend to distort a bit at loud volume and the speaker can fill a big room at 70% volume.  the Woburn 3 can be paired with the Marshall Bluetooth app to adjust in-app EQ You can also use the Placement Compensation feature to set the speaker at the best place in your room and it'll adjust the sound accordingly you just need to answer two basic questions.  where the missing codec support is still formidable Liz Reisberg of Arlington attended the town hall in Woburn on Saturday and provides notes about what they and participants had to say Ed Markey held a town hall at Woburn Memorial High School The event seemed to have been arranged at the last minute which might explain why the auditorium was only half full during such a tumultuous political time.  Clark and Markey each made brief opening comments before taking questions from the audience Clark opened by celebrating the impressive turnout in Boston on April 5 estimated at 100,000 and poking fun at the Massachusetts GOP for responding to the massive turnout with the statement “The Democrats seem intent on stirring up trouble.”  A veteran expressed concern about the future loss of benefits Clark acknowledged that services are already being cut and the administration plans to lay off 80,000 employees at the Veterans Administration Another audience member expressed concern about the people being snatched off the street or from their home and being stranded in El Salvador Clark indicated that $6 million of taxpayer dollars is being sent to El Salvador to imprison deportees She informed the audience that a congressional delegation plans to visit the prison this week and suggested that if a delegation of U.S politicians can arrange a photo op in El Salvador they can certainly bring back someone wrongly imprisoned there.  Perhaps the most poignant moment occurred when an audience member explained that he was the only surviving family member and primary carer for a brother with severe disabilities and complex health needs He explained that he can only juggle work and provide care for his brother because of the support he gets from Social Security He worries about looming cuts to these programs Markey acknowledged that this gentleman was one of many “heroes” who are a critical part of care provided to our most vulnerable citizens and affirmed that beneficiaries of these programs are from red and blue states and funding cuts will have catastrophic consequences to many American families.  Other issues raised related to school funding particularly special education and concern for the fact that the Trump administration seems to be plowing ahead despite attempts to stop them The audience was generally polite and respectful but there were occasional shouts of “What are you going to do about it?” The senator and representative responded that they are acting on multiple fronts They are trying to drag out roll calls and hearings to delay Trump’s appointments and the implementation of policies They indicated that they have ways to “jam the committees.” They are working with partner organizations to pursue actions through the courts with 179 lawsuits already filed against the administration They are holding town halls in red districts where the GOP has avoided holding them and making use of social media and billboards to respond to false information with “our truth.” The congresswoman and senator repeatedly stressed the importance of the audience making their voices heard of being in the street and supporting the many candidates in swing districts whose prospects improve as the chaos being generated by the Trump administration continues to grow.  we will send you an e-mail when there are new updates on the site so you wouldn't miss them YourArlington is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.Your

about this place – about Arlington Most towns measure their Town Meetings in hours I often compare notes with moderators from other towns Nobody does democracy as much as Arlington does democracy There’s something here that inspires an intensity for engagement and self-governance like nowhere else I’ve seen Whether it was called Menotomy or West Cambridge or Arlington our town is unmatched in its passion for self governance YourArlington founder Bob Sprague offers his opinion in a periodic column titled "Perspective: Ah-lington."  The 2025 annual Town Meeting gets underway Monday, April 28, in uncertain times -- shaped by a president who would be king. How might that national doubt -- fueled by foolish tariffs, immigrants who are unconstitutionally "disappeared" and mindless cuts to government and research -- affect the outcome of 79 Arlington articles?  The damage threatened by the Trump administration has yet to play out clearly on town finances Whatever occurs on Town Hall from 8 to 11 p.m on Mondays and Wednesdays will do so with local

Arlington rental agreements in cases where the landlord retains them Arlington residents of all backgrounds—renters homeowners and landlords—are invited to share their experiences and opinions through

Constitution of the United States against all enemies We now face the most pernicious of domestic enemies: the president of the United States who seems determined to emulate the king from whom we won our independence Trump has proven beyond all doubt that he styles himself the embodiment of the law one whose absolute authority can neither be questioned nor limited by Congress Six craven members of the Supreme Court have given him the immunity and impunity to act as a monarch but we the people still have the final say and history teaches that if fascists are to be stopped peacefully UPDATED
