Tanta gente per Pier Luigi Bersani a Grosseto per l’apertura della festa regionale de l’Unità targata Pd Toscana. 

Festa regionale de l’Unità di scena sulle Mura Medicee fino al 6 settembre. Qui il programma. 

Ad accogliere Bersani, ex segretario Pd, già ministro nei governi Prodi, D’Alema, Amato, il deputato Marco Simiani, segretario unione comunale Pd Grosseto, con Giacomo Termine, segretario provinciale Pd Grosseto.

Bersani: “Il campo largo è la strada, la stiamo percorrendo già in mezza Italia. Dobbiamo allargarlo anche di più. Bisogna partire non dai nomi e dalle formule, ma dicendo chiaro quello che vogliamo fare: no alla guerra, no al riarmo, sul lavoro si cambia. Poi le forze ci sono per un’alternativa a questa destra che in quattro anni ci ha fatto fare solo passi indietro. Quattro anni sono abbastanza per non poter più dare la colpa agli altri: allora perché siamo indietro in tutte le classifiche? C’è qualcuno che si ricordi qualche riforma che ha migliorato la vita dei cittadini?

Poi Bersani, intervistato da Chiara Geloni: “Vogliono far passare l’idea che loro stanno col popolo. La destra ha sempre fatto così. Meloni, in questi quattro anni dove sono andati i soSono andati in salari? In investimenti per le imprese? Sono andati alle rendite. Quelli che chiamano extra profitti sono il record storico di bilanci non di qualche banca. Di tutte le banche”.

Marco Simiani: “Che partenza fantastica! Spazio eventi pieno, ristorante affollatissimo, tantissima partecipazione e un’energia travolgente per l’inaugurazione della nostra Festa dell’Unità di Grosseto. Non potevamo chiedere un inizio migliore: aprire questa edizione insieme a Pier Luigi Bersani è stato un momento straordinario di comunità, confronto aperto e passione politica vera. Un grazie di cuore a tutte le persone che hanno riempito la serata, a chi si è fermato a discutere, ad ascoltare o semplicemente a condividere un momento in compagnia sulle Mura Medicee.E il grazie più grande va, come sempre, alla nostra squadra formidabile di volontarie e volontari: senza il vostro lavoro instancabile, il vostro entusiasmo e la vostra generosità tutto questo non sarebbe possibile. La bella politica si fa tra la gente”.

Giacomo Termine: “Una partenza bellissima! Tantissime persone alle Mura Medicee di Grosseto per l’inizio della Festa regionale de l’Unità: voglia di esserci e di confrontarsi. Con buona pace di chi sui social si scatena con insulti e commenti violenti: qui ci sono persone, sorrisi e una comunità che ha voglia di costruire una alternativa seria, concreta e credibile”.

SUWANEE, Ga., Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Marking the official opening of its North American manufacturing facility in Georgia, global Tier-1 supplier YFORE Technology debuted its Occupant & Driver Monitoring System (ODMS)—an integrated in-cabin full-coverage sensing solution. 

As in-cabin monitoring systems become standard, conventional vision-only setups often struggle with seatback occlusion, footwell blind spots, and covered occupants, while distributed sensors complicate vehicle wiring and roof tooling. To solve this, YFORE’s ODMS combines a DMS/OMS-integrated smart mirror with automotive-grade cabin radar, delivering an integrated multimodal architecture for robust cabin protection. 

Multimodal Fusion Eliminates Blind SpotsIntegrating the smart mirror with in-cabin radar overcomes optical limitations through RF signal penetration. The smart mirror’s high-definition camera tracks driver fatigue, distraction, and unresponsive states from a prime forward angle. Simultaneously, the roof radar penetrates blankets, clothing, and tall seatbacks to capture micro-breathing in rear rows and footwells, achieving comprehensive 3D spatial coverage. 

Full-Scenario Sensing Aligned with Safety StandardsThe ODMS architecture covers seven core functions: driver fatigue, distraction, unresponsive driver, and phone use detection, alongside seatbelt status, occupant classification, and full-cabin life presence detection. This integrated approach provides automakers with a reliable, full-scenario sensing foundation to help vehicles achieve five-star safety ratings under Euro NCAP. 

Streamlined Architecture and Cabin SpaceBy embedding optical components into the smart mirror and pairing them with a compact radar module, ODMS eliminates multiple headliner cutouts and complex roof wiring. This preserves clean interior aesthetics while simplifying platform adaptation across multiple vehicle models. 

Moving from localized monitoring to full-cabin protection, YFORE delivers a comprehensive, integrated, and scalable safety solution for global automakers.

JINAN, China, Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Niutech Technology Group Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as “Niutech”), a global supplier of industrial continuous pyrolysis solutions, has signed a sales contract with a global energy major for an Industrial Continuous Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Production Line. Featuring Niutech’s proprietary technology and single-unit capacity of 10,000 to 50,000 tons per year (tpy), the line will upgrade one of the customer’s large-scale refineries, enabling end-to-end production from waste plastic pyrolysis oil to hydrotreated Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This marks Niutech’s first entry into the customer’s equipment supply chain. 

SAF is a critical pathway for aviation decarbonization. The EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation mandates a 2% SAF blend from 2025, rising to 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. With Used Cooking Oil (UCO) supply limited, waste plastic-to-SAF is emerging as a promising second route. Niutech’s technology converts low-value waste plastics — including PP, PE, PS, ABS and nylon, single-type or mixed — directly into pyrolysis oil suitable for SAF, without complex pre-treatment such as washing, sorting or drying. 

The company’s waste plastic pyrolysis solutions have been commercially deployed across the UK, South Korea, Denmark, Thailand, Vietnam and China, delivering multiple 10,000-tpy-class continuous pyrolysis projects. 

“Large-scale pyrolysis projects impose stringent requirements on continuous operational capability,” said a Niutech marketing executive. “Niutech has focused on pyrolysis technology for nearly 40 years and brings mature equipment and extensive project experience. This partnership is another validation of the strength of our industrial continuous technology.” 

About Niutech 

Niutech Technology Group Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 688309) is an integrated pyrolysis solution provider with fully independent intellectual property. Its industrial continuous pyrolysis equipment (10,000–50,000 tpy per unit) handles more than 30 waste types including scrap tires, waste plastics, oily sludge, tar residue and medical waste. Niutech has delivered 10,000-tpy-class projects across dozens of countries including Germany, the UK, South Korea, Denmark and Brazil.

FIRENZE – Una nuova replica nel dibattito sulle modalità di gestione e contenimento dei detenuti violenti all’interno degli istituti di pena italiani. Donato Capece, segretario generale del Sindacato autonomo polizia penitenziaria (Sappe), ha risposto alle polemiche sorte attorno alla proposta dell’organizzazione sindacale per contrastare gli episodi di aggressione e vandalismo nelle sezioni ordinarie.

Nella sua nota, il rappresentante sindacale fa riferimento anche alle analisi di Giovanni Battista de Blasis pubblicate sul portale PoliziaPenitenziaria.it, relative all’esigenza di superare la prassi dei continui trasferimenti e di applicare appieno le disposizioni previste dall’ordinamento, con riferimento all’articolo 14-bis dell’ordinamento penitenziario e all’articolo 32 del Dpr 230/2000.

“Ci viene contestata una proposta, una impostazione di fondo, che il Sappe non ha mai fatto. Non abbiamo chiesto di riaprire nostalgicamente le vecchie supercarceri di Pianosa e Asinara, non abbiamo invocato l’isolamento permanente dei detenuti e non abbiamo mai pensato di ‘buttare la chiave’ – chiarisce Capece – Abbiamo posto una domanda concreta: come deve reagire lo Stato davanti a quella minoranza di detenuti che aggredisce ripetutamente poliziotti Penitenziari e altri reclusi, incendia celle, devasta sezioni e continua a seminare violenza, magari passando semplicemente da un carcere all’altro?”.

L’organizzazione sindacale rigetta l’interpretazione di chi accusa la proposta di voler ripristinare modelli passati: “Qualcuno ha preferito combattere contro uno spaventapasseri costruito ad arte piuttosto che confrontarsi con ciò che abbiamo realmente scritto. La nostra proposta è semplice: utilizzare concretamente gli strumenti già previsti dall’ordinamento, a partire dall’articolo 14-bis e dall’articolo 32 del Dpr 230 del 2000, realizzando una rete limitata di istituti o sezioni specializzate per quei soggetti che, per il loro comportamento concreto durante la detenzione, richiedono particolari cautele”.

Sul tema del recupero delle storiche strutture insulari, il segretario precisa: “Le supercarceri degli anni Ottanta e Novanta non devono tornare. Quello che merita di essere recuperato è il principio organizzativo della differenziazione. Non tutti i detenuti possono essere gestiti nello stesso modo e negli stessi luoghi. Abbiamo parlato di strutture del 2026, non di riaprire cancelli impolverati da trent’anni“.

La misura proposta prescinde dall’appartenenza a circuiti di criminalità organizzata o dal regime del 41-bis: “Parliamo della pericolosità operativa che si manifesta quotidianamente nelle sezioni ordinarie. Un detenuto può non appartenere alla mafia e tuttavia aggredire ripetutamente agenti e compagni, incendiare materassi, distruggere celle e impianti e destabilizzare un’intera sezione. Questa realtà esiste e negarla significa voltare le spalle a chi lavora ogni giorno nelle carceri. Il criterio non deve essere la diagnosi, la nazionalità, la tossicodipendenza o il reato commesso, ma esclusivamente il comportamento concretamente tenuto durante la detenzione. Comprendere le cause di un’aggressione non può significare ignorarne le conseguenze. Se una persona necessita di cure, lo Stato deve garantirle. Ma deve contemporaneamente proteggere Poliziotti Penitenziari, altri detenuti e operatori”.

In merito alle caratteristiche operative del sistema ipotizzato dal Sappe e alle richieste indirizzate ai vertici istituzionali, Capece aggiunge: “Sicurezza e trattamento non sono nemici. La sicurezza è la condizione perché il trattamento possa esistere. Al ministro Nordio e al capo del Dap De Michele chiediamo una ricognizione nazionale sulle aggressioni e sull’applicazione degli articoli 14-bis e 32, un tavolo tecnico e un piano operativo per strutture specializzate. Potranno essere realtà insulari logisticamente compatibili oppure altri luoghi più idonei: non difendiamo una scelta geografica, ma un principio. Le vecchie supercarceri non devono tornare. Deve però tornare la capacità dello Stato di distinguere, organizzare, curare e, quando necessario, contenere“.

FIRENZE – Prorogato fino al prossimo 13 settembre il divieto assoluto di abbruciamento di residui vegetali agricoli e forestali in tutta la Toscana. Il termine, inizialmente fissato al 31 agosto, è stato spostato a causa delle condizioni meteo previste per l’inizio del mese di settembre dal Consorzio Lamma che indicano alte temperature e tempo sereno e secco in gran parte della regione. Ricordiamo che il divieto è entrato in vigore dallo scorso 13 giugno.

Oltre al divieto di abbruciamento di residui vegetali, nel periodo a rischio il regolamento forestale della Toscana vieta qualsiasi accensione di fuochi, ad esclusione della cottura di cibi in bracieri e barbecue situati in abitazioni o pertinenze e all’interno delle aree attrezzate. Anche in questi casi vanno comunque osservate le prescrizioni del regolamento forestale.

In deroga, l’ente competente su ciascun territorio può autorizzare attività di campeggio anche temporaneo e fuochi anche pirotecnici, tramite autorizzazioni che contengano le necessarie prescrizioni e precauzioni da adottare per scongiurare qualsiasi rischio di innesco di incendio.

La mancata osservanza delle norme di prevenzione comporta l’applicazione di pesanti sanzioni previste dalle disposizioni in materia.

I cittadini sono invitati a segnalare tempestivamente eventuali focolai al numero verde della Sala operativa regionale 800 425 425 o al numero unico europeo di emergenza 112.

La Regione, in collaborazione con il Consorzio Lamma e Cnr-Ibe dispone di un sistema di previsione del rischio incendi basato sull’indice canadese Fwi (Fire Weather Index), utilizzato per valutare quotidianamente le condizioni favorevoli all’innesco e alla propagazione degli incendi boschivi. In base a questo sistema di previsione, ogni giorno del periodo a rischio verrà pubblicato sulla home page della Regione Toscana il bollettino incendi boschivi.

Il sistema di classificazione del rischio, condiviso a livello nazionale, individua quattro livelli di pericolosità associati ad altrettanti colori, analogamente a quanto avviene per le allerte meteo.

Per ciascun comune toscano sarà così possibile conoscere immediatamente il livello di rischio presente sul territorio.

Il bollettino contiene, inoltre, una sezione dedicata ai comportamenti corretti da adottare e alle attività consentite, in funzione del grado di rischio previsto.

VIAREGGIO – Tragedia nel tardo pomeriggio sul litorale di Viareggio, dove un uomo di 84 anni, originario di Vinci, ha perso la vita per annegamento mentre si trovava in acqua.

L’allarme alla centrale operativa dell’emergenza sanitaria è scattato intorno alle 18 nelle acque antistanti la Passeggiata, nello specchio di mare compreso tra i Bagni Principe e Imperia. Notata la situazione di grave pericolo, si è messa immediatamente in moto la macchina dei soccorsi: le persone presenti nello stabilimento e i bagnini di salvataggio si sono tuffati per recuperare l’anziano e riportarlo a riva, avviando subito le prime manovre di rianimazione. 

Sul posto sono tempestivamente giunte l’automedica, un’ambulanza della Misericordia di Viareggio e il personale della Capitaneria di Porto per la gestione degli aspetti di competenza. I sanitari hanno proseguito a lungo i tentativi di rianimazione cardio-polmonare, anche con l’ausilio del defibrillatore. Purtroppo ogni sforzo si è rivelato vano ed è stato possibile soltanto constatare il decesso dell’ottantaquattrenne per arresto cardiocircolatorio da annegamento.

COREGLIA – Paura nel primo pomeriggio di oggi in Mediavalle per un doppio evento sismico che ha fatto tremare la terra in provincia di Lucca, venendo chiaramente avvertito dalla popolazione di diversi comuni.

La prima scossa, la più intensa, è stata registrata dai sismografi dell’Istituto nazionale di geofisica e vulcanologia alle 15,06. L’epicentro è stato localizzato a 6 chilometri a nord-est del comune di Coreglia Antelminelli, ad una profondità di 9 chilometri. Il movimento tellurico ha raggiunto una magnitudo di 3.2 ed è stato avvertito nitidamente dai residenti della zona e dei centri limitrofi.

Appena tre minuti più tardi, alle 15,09, si è verificata una seconda scossa di assestamento. Il nuovo evento sismico ha registrato una magnitudo di 2.6 ed è stato localizzato con il medesimo epicentro.

Subito dopo le scosse la macchina dei controlli e della protezione civile si è messa in moto per le verifiche del caso sul territorio. Fortunatamente, secondo le prime ricognizioni e le informazioni raccolte presso i comandi dei vigili del fuoco e le forze dell’ordine, non si registrano danni a cose o persone, né segnalazioni di criticità particolari alle strutture, pur avendo generato apprensione tra i cittadini.

The Next-Gen All-in-One Laser: xTool X1 Global Tech Launch 

For years, digital fabrication has been bottlenecked by hardware fragmentation. Makers and growing businesses faced a compounding challenge: high-speed engraving required specialized galvo systems, large-format processing demanded gantry architectures, and working with varied materials mandated investing in separate diode, CO₂, fiber, or UV machines. Expanding creative or commercial capabilities inevitably meant inflating studio footprints and equipment budgets. 

xTool developed the X1 to bring these capabilities together in a single platform. Built around the core philosophy of “All the Best Lasers, Built into One,” the xTool X1 unifies speed, wide-format capacity, high-power cutting, and modular laser expansion within a single, future-proof chassis. Designed specifically for ambitious makers, laser enthusiasts, and scaling storefront sellers on platforms like Etsy and Shopify, the X1 marks an industry transition from single-purpose tools to a dynamic, evolving manufacturing hub. 

Key Technologies Powering the xTool X1 

SME Summit: Keynote Insights, Connected Ecosystems & Panel Discussions 

Extending xTool’s vision from groundbreaking hardware to full commercial empowerment, the inaugural SME Summit examined how creators and small businesses scale within xTool’s broader Connected Creation Ecosystem. The summit opened with a keynote from xTool US General Manager Stein, who highlighted the brand’s rapid commercial growth—driven by the recently launched xTool O1 Omni Printer, which generated over $20 million in revenue with 6,000+ units sold on day one. Stein emphasized seamless cross-device synergy across printing, engraving, cutting, and textile decoration, as demonstrated live through an integrated workflow pairing the xTool Selected Embroidery & Sewing Machine SE1 directly with the xTool O1 Omni Printer. Further bridging technology and business expansion, the summit program hosted keynotes from three small business owners detailing operational scaling strategies. The session culminated in a panel discussion titled “Empowering Modern Makers: Tools, Monetization, and Possibilities”. Moderated by Vincent Nguyen, Editor-in-Chief and Co-Owner of The Gadgeteer, the panel gathered featured creators, micro-entrepreneurs, and industry voices to examine creator-led monetization models and real-world smart tool adoption. 

Vision: Laser Will Converge. Creation Will Expand. 

The xTool X1 represents more than a standalone hardware reveal; it signifies an industry shift toward converged creation platforms. xTool believes the future of desktop fabrication relies not on proliferating specialized machines, but on unifying diverse capabilities into one platform. Great engineering removes limitations so creation can expand.

XUZHOU, China, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XCMG has announced that the first main unit of the world’s first 14,000-ton ring crane has rolled off the production line, marking a historic breakthrough in ultra-heavy lifting technology. Jointly developed by XCMG and Sinopec Heavy Lifting & Transportation Co., Ltd., the crane will be the largest-capacity ring crane ever built, setting a new benchmark for major construction projects worldwide. 

The crane features a modular configuration comprising two main units that work in tandem. The first main unit has completed final assembly and can independently perform lifting operations. Once both units are completed and integrated, the crane will have a maximum lifting capacity of 14,000 tons and a maximum lifting moment of 700,000 ton-meters, with several key performance specifications expected to lead the industry. 

“This crane is more than an incremental improvement; it represents a transformative leap for the global heavy-lifting industry,” said Yang Dongsheng, chairman of XCMG Group and XCMG Machinery. “Our partnership with Sinopec has created a new integrated model spanning R&D, manufacturing and application, setting an industry benchmark for independent innovation and engineering application of major technical equipment.” 

The ring crane also features a pioneering electric direct-drive system that converts electric power directly into motion, delivering energy savings of more than 30%, boosting operating efficiency by 20%, and reducing fuel costs and carbon emissions. 

As nuclear power projects worldwide become larger and more modular, demand is rising for ultra-heavy lifting equipment. The 14,000-ton ring crane marks a major step in the growing role of Chinese-developed high-end lifting equipment in nuclear power construction worldwide. It can serve conventional energy, nuclear power and wind power projects. For conventional energy, it can lift a range of large towers and vessels as complete units, replacing sectional lifting and reducing risks in assembly, pressure testing and other installation work. In nuclear power construction, it delivers a world-first capability: from a single crane position and using a single boom configuration, it can handle plant modules and major equipment for two nuclear islands. For offshore wind, its lifting height and capacity enable the installation of larger-capacity turbines. 

Yang added: “XCMG will continue to advance the independent development of ultra-large engineering equipment, bring proven, reliable solutions to a wider range of engineering applications, and provide customers worldwide with safer, more efficient and energy-saving construction solutions.”
