Livorno: Al Cisternone "Moby Prince" un’installazione audiovisiva in memoria della strage
Livorno: Al Cisternone "Moby Prince" un’installazione audiovisiva in memoria della strage. Venerdì 14 aprile alle ore 15.30 al Cisternone l’associazione Effetto Collaterale inaugura “Moby Prince – Memorie cittadine”, installazione audiovisiva realizzata in occasione del 32° anniversario della strage. Saranno presenti l'assessore al Lavoro del Comune di Livorno Gianfranco Simoncini , Giacomo Sini dell'associazione 140, che nella strage ha perso il padre Antonio, e Michela Pertici, vicepresidente della Sezione Soci Livorno di Unicoop Tirreno che ha sostenuto l'iniziativa. Per tre giorni dal 14 al 16 aprile, dalle ore 15.30 alle 19.30 (ingresso gratuito), il Cisternone diventerà un maestoso monumento alla memoria fatto di acqua, immagini e voci per non dimenticare quella terribile notte del 10 aprile 1991 e ricordare le 140 vittime e i familiari che da 32 anni chiedono verità e giustizia. L’iniziativa, che ha il patrocinio del Comune di Livorno e di Asa spa, nasce all’interno del progetto “Documenta” lanciato dall’associazione Effetto Collaterale nel 2019 per promuovere il ricordo delle vittime del Moby Prince coniugando arte e memoria. L’edizione di quest’anno è dedicata a Francesca Talozzi che, scomparsa un anno fa, con l’associazione Effetto Collaterale si è impegnata a lungo per tenere viva la memoria della strage. “Nella bellissima cornice del Cisternone - spiega Alessia Cespuglio, presidente dell’associazione Effetto Collaterale, fondata nel 2009 con l’amica Francesca Talozzi - racconteremo come Livorno ricorda e ha ricordato in questi lunghi anni le 140 vittime del traghetto Moby Prince, lasciate morire la notte del 10 aprile 1991. Oltre all'acqua, questo luogo storico della città custodirà per tre giorni un altro bene prezioso: la memoria della strage. Attraverso la proiezione delle immagini conservate nel fondo fotografico dell’associazione 140, ripercorreremo i giorni e i mesi immediatamente successivi a quel 10 aprile, il dolore dei familiari, il recupero del traghetto carbonizzato, il processo conclusosi con un agghiacciante ‘il fatto non sussiste’ e i cortei cittadini che in questi 32 anni hanno segnato la storia della città”. “Al centro dell’installazione - sottolinea il fotografo Attilio Zavatta che ha curato l’allestimento - non solo la memoria della strage ma anche il ricordo di ciò che eravamo allora, una ‘doppia memoria’ che è importante tenere insieme. Al Cisternone ci saranno quindi anche le immagini del 1991 che tanti cittadini ci hanno inviato in risposta alla ‘chiamata alla memoria’ lanciata lo scorso marzo. Foto di famiglia, foto di vacanze o compleanni, ritratti, foto di bambini, di matrimoni e amici. Scatti preziosi provenienti dai nostri archivi domestici che ci spingono ad un ‘esercizio di memoria’: ricordare chi eravamo, dove eravamo nell’anno della strage. Immagini comuni eppure uniche e personali di chi avrebbe potuto essere su quel traghetto perché ognuno di noi è 141”. Insieme alle immagini, accompagnerà i visitatori un suggestivo audio: all’interno della grande cisterna cittadina la voce poetica di Simonetta Filippi, scrittrice e attivista dell’associazione Effetto Collaterale, ricorderà quella terribile notte e i nomi di tutti coloro che quella notte sul Moby Prince trovarono la morte. Una morte ancora oggi senza spiegazioni né colpevoli. “Quella realizzata dall’associazione Effetto Collaterale - afferma Giacomo Sini dell’associazione 140 - è un’iniziativa innovativa e di grande impatto, anche per noi familiari, perché unisce memoria collettiva e memoria soggettiva. Per chi, come me, quella notte di 32 anni fa ha perso un familiare la strage del Moby Prince è anche questo: un percorso doloroso che vede intrecciarsi un’esperienza personale ad una collettiva perché quel dolore è comune a 140 famiglie. Un grande grazie dunque ad Effetto Collaterale che da anni cerca, attraverso l’arte performativa e visuale, di costruire e condividere memoria. Ricordo bene lo spettacolo teatrale che nel 2012 Francesca Talozzi portò in scena alla Fortezza e tutte le altre iniziative che sono seguite. Se oggi sentiamo una città più partecipe e consapevole di ciò che stato è anche grazie al loro lavoro”.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Les 11 plus jeunes chefs d'états dans le monde
Les 11 plus jeunes chefs d’états dans le monde
« L’âge n’est qu’un nombre » ! Certains répètent souvent cette phrase surtout pour justifier qu’une tierce personne soit en mesure de prendre quelques responsabilités, malgré leur jeune âge. Cependant, pour les postes politiques, les gens ont toujours tendances à faire confiance aux candidats les plus âgés aux dépends des sang frais, sous prétexte que ces derniers n’ont pas du tout ou ont moins…

The youngest leaders in the world
As Gabriel Boric becomes Chile’s youngest-ever president at 35, we look at the world’s youngest leaders.
The leftwinger is far from the youngest person heading a government.
That title is presently held by 26-year-old Giacomo Simoncini, one of the Captains Regent of San Marino, the tiny independent state in northern Italy.
Here is our list of other youthful leaders in power:
– Finland: Premier Sanna Marin, who got into hot water last week for going to a disco despite being in contact with someone who had tested positive for Covid, is 36. She got the top job in 2019 aged 34.
– Kosovo: Another woman leader, Vjosa Osmani, was elected president in April aged 38.
– Georgia: Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili was the same age when he came to power in February.
– El Salvador: Controversial populist President Nayib Bukele is 40, having been elected at 37.
– Andorra: Former justice minister Xavier Espot Zamora became the head of government of the small territory between France and Spain in May 2019 aged 39.
– Costa Rica: Carlos Alvarado, a journalist and former labour minister won elections to become president in May 2018 aged 38.
– New Zealand: Jacinda Ardern was 37 years old when she was sworn in as prime minister in October 2017.
– Ireland: Leo Varadkar became Ireland’s youngest prime minister in June 2017 aged 38. He now shares power as deputy leader of a coalition government and is due to be premier again next year.
– France: The investment banker Emmanuel Macron became France’s youngest president in May 2017 at 39.
As well as democratically elected governments, other notable young leaders include North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, 37; Chad’s Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, also 37, who took over after the death of his father in April; and the leader of the military junta in Mali, Assimi Goita, 38.
Of young monarchs, the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, is 41 as is Bhutan’s King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. He rose to the throne in 2006 when he was just 26.

Uno dei due nuovi Capitani reggenti di San Marino, Giacomo Simoncini, ha 27 anni: è il Capo di Stato in carica più giovane del mondo. Secondo, per età, nella storia della Repubblica. Eletto nelle file ‘Noi per la Repubblica’, di centrosinistra, fa parte del Consiglio grande e generale, il parlamento sanmarinese. A dare l’annuncio dal balcone centrale del Palazzo Pubblico, con tre squilli di tromba e una formula che rimane invariata dalla sua costituzione, il segretario di Stato per gli Affari Interni, Elena Tonnini

Inflation Rises Again (1440) US inflation rose 7.9% during the 12-month period ending in February, the largest such increase in more than four decades. Higher inflation means consumers can buy fewer goods with each dollar they spend. February’s increase is the highest since 1982, when inflation rose almost 8.4% on the heels of a period characterized by slow economic growth, high unemployment, and rising prices.
Americans are besieged by stress, poll finds (NBC News) Financial woes, coupled with a barrage of horrifying scenes from Ukraine as Russia continues its invasion, have pushed a majority of Americans to unprecedented levels of stress, according to a new report from the American Psychological Association. The association’s annual “Stress in America” poll, published Thursday, found that U.S. adults—already weary from two years of the Covid-19 pandemic—are now overwhelmingly troubled by inflation and the war in Ukraine. According to the results, 87 percent of those surveyed cited rising costs of everyday items, such as groceries and gas, as a “significant source of stress.” The same high percentage said their mental health was greatly affected by what has felt like a “constant stream of crises without a break over the last two years.” And 84 percent said the Russian invasion of Ukraine is “terrifying to watch.”
In an about-face, liberal US cities target homeless camps (AP) Makeshift shelters abut busy roadways, tent cities line sidewalks, tarps cover broken-down cars, and sleeping bags are tucked in storefront doorways. The reality of the homelessness crisis in Oregon’s largest city can’t be denied. “I would be an idiot to sit here and tell you that things are better today than they were five years ago with regard to homelessness,” Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said recently. Wheeler has now used emergency powers to ban camping along certain roadways and says homelessness is the “most important issue facing our community, bar none.” Increasingly in liberal cities across the country—where people living in tents in public spaces have long been tolerated—leaders are removing encampments and pushing other strict measures to address homelessness that would have been unheard of a few years ago. Donald H. Whitehead Jr., executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, said at least 65 U.S. cities are criminalizing or sweeping encampments.
Chile’s president sworn in (Foreign Policy) Gabriel Boric will be sworn in today as Chilean president, assuming power from Sebastien Pinera after the left-wing activist defeated the right-wing Jose Antonia Kast in December elections. The 36-year-old Boric is set to become not only Chile’s youngest-ever president, but will also become the world’s second youngest head of state (the title is currently held by 27-year-old Giacomo Simoncini, one of San Marino’s captains regent).
Russia’s widening war (NYT) Missiles hit well behind Ukrainian lines today, striking three cities that until now had not sustained major attacks. The assault on Dnipro, in central Ukraine, and on Lutsk and Ivano-Frankivsk, in the west, suggested that Russia was widening its attacks on cities as the invasion entered its third week. The primary target for Russia remains the capital, Kyiv. Russian forces continued to pummel Mariupol in the south. Ukrainian officials said the death toll in that city had reached 1,552, but an adviser to the city’s mayor warned that constant bombing had made it impossible to count the dead. The chief economic adviser to Ukraine’s government, Oleg Ustenko, estimated that his country had already suffered $100 billion in damage since the invasion began Feb. 24. “The situation is a disaster that is really much deeper than somebody can imagine,” Mr. Ustenko said at a Peterson Institute for International Economics virtual event.
Putin says Russia to use Middle East volunteer fighters against Ukraine (Reuters) Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the green light on Friday for up to 16,000 volunteers from the Middle East to be deployed alongside Russian-backed rebels to fight in Ukraine. The move, just over two weeks since Putin ordered the invasion, allows Russia to deploy battle-hardened mercenaries from conflicts such as Syria without risking additional Russian military casualties. At a meeting of Russia’s Security Council, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said there were 16,000 volunteers in the Middle East who were ready to come to fight alongside Russian-backed forces in the breakaway Donbass region of eastern Ukraine. Shoigu said Western arms were flowing into Ukraine in an “absolutely uncontrolled” way and that the Russian military planned to strengthen its Western border after what he said was a build up of Western military units on Russia’s border.
Agencies say 2.5 million people flee Ukraine (AP) The International Organization for Migration says 2.5 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia invaded more than two weeks ago. He said that more than 1.5 million refugees have gone to neighboring Poland and that some 116,000 of the refugees are “third-country nationals,” not Ukrainians. The U.N. high commissioner for refugees, Filippo Grandi, also gave the 2.5 million total for refugees and said his agency estimates that about two million people are displaced inside Ukraine as well.
Warsaw overwhelmed as it becomes key refugee destination (AP) Warsaw’s mayor is appealing for international help as the city becomes overwhelmed by refugees, with more than a tenth of all those fleeing the war in Ukraine arriving in the Polish capital. Some seek to wait out the war or settle in the city, while others merely use Warsaw as a transit point to head further west, turning its train stations into crowded hubs where people are camping out on floors. “We are dealing with the greatest migration crisis in the history of Europe since World War II. ... The situation is getting more and more difficult every day,” Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski said, adding that “the greatest challenge is still ahead of us.” The welcome Warsaw has given Ukrainians as the neighboring nation struggles to resist Russia’s invasion is wholehearted. Across the city, people have mobilized to help.
How the Ukraine war is lurching the globe toward a new food crisis (Washington Post) Russia’s invasion of one of the world’s leading breadbaskets—Ukraine—is deepening the worst surge in global food prices since the Great Recession, raising the specter that Moscow’s war could spark crisis-level hikes, inflame the scourge of world hunger and spark political turmoil far from the conflict zone. Around the world, food prices were already rising fast amid supply chain disruptions and pandemic-era inflation. But some prices—especially wheat, a basic source of sustenance in many countries—have shot through the roof because of the Ukraine crisis. Together, Ukraine and Russia account for nearly 30 percent of wheat, 17 percent of corn and over half of sunflower seed oil exports. The conflict-induced bottlenecks at Black Sea ports—where cargo vessels have been struck by Russian rockets—and other complications of war have slammed Ukrainian exports. A new report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) due out Friday estimates food and feed prices could surge 7 percent to 22 percent above already elevated levels due to the war. Grains are global commodities, and the price for flour, bread and other foods is set to hike across the globe, including in the United States. But the countries most impacted are likely to be those most heavily dependent on Ukrainian and Russian wheat—including Egypt, Turkey, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Lebanon and Somalia. Experts have warned that higher food prices could trigger global unrest. During the 2007-2008 crisis, riots broke out from Haiti to Bangladesh. The social uprisings of the Arab Spring also took place against a backdrop of public angst over the high cost of food.
Russia built an economy like a fortress but the pain is real (AP) Western sanctions are dealing a severe blow to Russia’s economy. Russia is now the most-sanctioned country in the world, with roughly 3,000 restrictions levied by various countries since the beginning of the war. The ruble is plunging, foreign businesses are fleeing and sharply higher prices are in the offing. Familiar products may disappear from stores, and middle-class achievements like foreign vacations are in doubt. Beyond the short-term pain, Russia’s economy will likely see a deepening of the stagnation that started to set in long before the invasion of Ukraine. But a total collapse is unlikely, several economists say. Despite the punishing financial sanctions, Russia has built “an economy that’s geared for conflict,” said Richard Connolly, an expert on the Russian economy at the Royal United Services Institute in Britain. Although sanctions have frozen a large portion of Russia’s foreign currency reserves, state finances are in good shape with low debt. When the government does need to borrow, its creditors are mostly domestic banks, not foreign investors who could abandon it in a crisis.
China locks down city of 9 million amid new spike in cases (AP) China on Friday ordered a lockdown of the 9 million residents of the northeastern city of Changchun amid a new spike in COVID-19 cases in the area attributed to the highly contagious omicron variant. Residents are required to remain home, with one family member permitted to venture out to buy food and other necessities every two days. All residents must undergo three rounds of mass testing, while non-essential businesses have been closed and transport links suspended.
11 years later, fate of Fukushima reactor cleanup uncertain (AP) Eleven years after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was ravaged by a meltdown following a massive earthquake and tsunami, the plant now looks like a sprawling construction site. Most of the radioactive debris blasted by the hydrogen explosions has been cleared and the torn buildings have been fixed. Despite the progress, massive amounts of radioactive melted fuel remain inside of the reactors. There’s worry about the fuel because so much about its condition is still unknown, even to officials in charge of the cleanup. Nearly 900 tons of melted nuclear fuel remain inside the three damaged reactors, and its removal is an unprecedented challenge involving 10 times the amount of damaged fuel removed in the Three Mile Island cleanup following its 1979 partial core melt. The challenge of removing melted fuel from the reactors is so daunting that some experts now say that setting a completion target is impossible, especially as officials still don’t have any idea about where to store the waste.
Jellyfish vs. nuclear subs (Guardian) The humble jellyfish, the bane of nuclear plants the world over, looks set to torpedo Brisbane’s hopes of becoming home to Australia’s future nuclear submarine fleet over fears that the invertebrate could clog the expensively-assembled vessels. As the Guardian reports, the city is one of three potential bases under consideration by the Australian government, a location marine biologist Lisa-ann Gershwin has warned as “close to the absolute worst place” for nuclear submarines to dock, given the risk posed by the invertebrates who frequently bloom nearby and tend to clog cooling shafts. The local jellyfish have already caused trouble in Brisbane before, prompting an emergency reactor shutdown of the nuclear-powered U.S.S. Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier in 2006 when over 1,700 pounds of the creatures were sucked into the ship’s inner workings.
Don’t complain about changing the clocks this weekend. Some people deal with time changes every day. (WSJ) Americans living in time-zone borderlands constantly have to do mental math and override their time-zone-sensitive gadgets—or risk running late or arriving too early. Some business operators say the shift has created challenges in places where time-zone lines bisect residential and commercial areas. There are four time zones in the continental U.S., while Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territories are spread across five others. States such as Indiana, South Dakota, Florida, Michigan and Texas each span two. It used to be worse; before the U.S. adopted a system of five time zones in 1918, North America had over 144 local times, sometimes leading to railroad collisions.
