La più grande struttura mobile al mondo avvolge il reattore n° 4 di Chernobyl

Res publica   29.11.16  

Il time lapse del posizionamento finale del New Safe Confinement, il nuovo sarcofago di confinamento progettato per sigillare completamente i resti del reattore numero 4 della centrale di Chernobyl e il precedente sarcofago di contenimento eretto nel 1986.

Thirty years after the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, the radioactive remains of the power plant's destroyed reactor 4 have been safely enclosed following one of the world’s most ambitious engineering projects.
Chernobyl's giant New Safe Confinement (NSC) was moved over a distance of 327 metres from its assembly point to its final resting place, completely enclosing a previous makeshift shelter that was hastily assembled immediately after the 1986 accident.

The equipment in the New Safe Confinement will now be connected to the new technological building which will serve as a control room for future operations inside the arch. The New Safe Confinement will be sealed off from the environment hermetically. Finally, after intensive testing of all equipment and commissioning, handover of the New Safe Confinement to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant administration is expected in November 2017.

L'ultima icona del '900

Res publica   26.11.16  

Protagonista della Guerra Fredda, condannato all'irrilevanza dalla storia. La parabola triste del Comandante Fidel Castro.

The world has now moved on from Castro’s world. Today, the majority of countries on Earth are capitalist democracies. Even the world's most powerful authoritarian states, Russia and China, feel the need to pay occasional lip service to democratic ideals. Authoritarian communism, of the sort Castro dedicated his life to, is no longer a vital force.

The most potent ideological divides in 2016 are inside Western democracies: whether to embrace multi-ethnic democracy and global integration, an option exemplified by Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, or whether to resist demographic change and wall off one's nation from the world, an option exemplified by Donald Trump and the European far right.

On these questions, Castro had nothing of note to say. He was simply irrelevant. His death in 2016, the year of Brexit and Trump, shows just how much the old world has given way to the new.

La nascita di South Park

Multimedia   25.11.16  

Iniziò tutto con una storia sul Natale e i regali. Enterteinment racconta la genesi della serie che ha ammazzato Kenny.

Matt and I were at the University of Colorado at Boulder [in 1992]. When you're in the film school, you're working on someone's film every weekend, so you're spending your weekends on set. Matt and I would always end up either running cameras or running sound or something. Shoots are so f--king boring, and we would just sit there doing voices for each other—that's where it actually started. We would always talk like these little kids and make each other laugh. So we had a year of doing little skits with the voices before we shot anything. The film department showed student films at the end of the semester. I was like, "There should be something Christmassy," because these screenings were a few days before Christmas. I had done one even before that, called American History, with construction paper cutouts, and I got a student award for it. So Matt and I just did this little Jesus and Frosty thing.
