CINZIA GORLA

La situazione dell’ambito di scelta Quarrata-Serravalle è stata seguita con particolare attenzione negli ultimi mesi da parte dell’Asl Toscana centro, a fronte della sofferenza assistenziale determinatasi a partire dall’aprile 2026 in seguito alla cessazione dell’attività di due medici di medicina generale e alla mancata copertura degli incarichi attraverso le Zone Carenti pubblicate.

Per fronteggiare la situazione e garantire la continuità dell’assistenza ai cittadini, l’Azienda Sanitaria ha ripetutamente promosso consultazioni finalizzate all’attribuzione degli incarichi, fino all’individuazione dei due nuovi professionisti.

Il dottor Alduini e il dottor Bartalucci svolgeranno la propria attività ambulatoriale nella Casa della Comunità di Quarrata, in via Montalbano 364. A partire dal 1° settembre, i cittadini interessati potranno effettuare la scelta del nuovo medico presso uno degli sportelli dell’Anagrafe sanitaria oppure attraverso la procedura online messa a disposizione dall’Azienda.

Si precisa che martedì 1° settembre, in occasione della festività patronale di Quarrata, sarà attivo il servizio di Continuità Assistenziale contattabile attraverso il numero unico 116117. Gli ambulatori medici del dott. Alduini e del dott. Bartalucci saranno quindi effettivamente aperti a partire da mercoledì 2 settembre.

Le modalità per effettuare la scelta o il cambio del medico di medicina generale sono disponibili alla pagina dedicata del sito dell’Asl Toscana centro: https://www.uslcentro.toscana.it/medico-di-famiglia-e-pediatra-scelta/scelta-e-cambio-del-medico-di-famiglia-o-del-pediatra/scelta-e-cambio-del-medico-di-famiglia-o-del-pediatra-on-line.

Mezzala di qualità e inserimento, Luperini torna a Pistoia a 7 anni di distanza dall’ultima volta. Il centrocampista, infatti, ha indossato la maglia arancione per 3 anni, dalla stagione 2016/17 alla 2018/19, collezionando ben 96 presenze, 17 gol e tanti momenti indimenticabili, come la conquista dei play-off nella stagione 2017-2018.

Dal punto di vista personale la stagione migliore è stata l’ultima, con ben 10 gol messi a segno. Numeri che hanno permesso a Luperini di guadagnarsi la chiamata del Trapani in Serie B e di proseguire il suo percorso professionale in piazze importantissime del nostro calcio come Palermo, Perugia, Catania, Ternana e Livorno, dove ha giocato nella seconda metà dell’ultima stagione.

Adesso, Luperini dovrà essere in grado di trascinare la squadra di Bisoli ad un ritorno tra i professionisti sfumato nelle ultime due annate.

The combined business brings together Ballard’s proven fuel cell technology and global scale with GeoPura’s Hydrogen Power Units, fuel supply capabilities and Energy-as-a-Service business model. 

VANCOUVER, BC and NEWCASTLE, UK, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ballard Power Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP) (“Ballard”), a global leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology, today announced that it has closed the acquisition of GeoPura Limited (“GeoPura”), a leading UK-based provider of zero-emission, hydrogen-based power solutions.

The combination of GeoPura’s HPU™ platform, fuel production, and logistics with Ballard’s advanced fuel cell technology, creates a turnkey Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) solution enabling Ballard to serve customers as a one-stop zero-emission energy solution provider. This end-to-end capability strengthens Ballard’s market presence across Europe, offers new commercial opportunities into North America, while reinforcing its long-term path toward sustainable profitability and accelerated growth. 

“Today marks a pivotal milestone in Ballard’s evolution as we officially welcome GeoPura to our organization,” said Marty Neese, Chief Executive Officer of Ballard. “By bringing GeoPura’s clean power generation platform together with Ballard’s fuel cell stack engineering under one roof, we provide our customers with a single, integrated source for reliable zero-emission power. This strategic combination enhances our competitive advantage across Europe and North America and positions Ballard to capture value across the entire hydrogen ecosystem.” 

Andrew Cunningham, who now takes the role of Ballard’s President, added, “Uniting with Ballard creates a stronger, more resilient partner for customers facing increasingly complex energy challenges. Together, we combine world-leading fuel cell technology with proven hydrogen power production and infrastructure expertise to deliver reliable, zero-emission energy where and when it’s needed. From replacing fossil fuel generation and overcoming grid constraints to strengthening energy security and protecting local air quality, we provide a practical solution to some of the most pressing power challenges facing businesses today. I’m energised to lead our combined team as we take these capabilities to more customers and markets around the world and execute on our shared growth vision.” 

The transaction agreement includes total upfront consideration of £275.0 million, comprising £82.5 million in cash, 49,584,212 newly issued Ballard common shares and restricted share units which will be settled in 12 months for an additional 1,084,540 Ballard common shares. On a pro-forma basis, former GeoPura shareholders hold approximately 14.1% of Ballard’s outstanding common shares. Ballard may pay up to £27.5 million in additional contingent consideration upon GeoPura’s achievement of specified post-closing financial milestones. 

Effective with closing, Andrew Cunningham has assumed the role of President of Ballard, reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer Marty Neese. In addition, Andrew Cunningham and Lord Richard Harrington, former UK Business and Industry Minister and Chairman of GeoPura, have joined Ballard’s Board of Directors as nominees designated by the former GeoPura shareholders.

“Dopo nove anni di governo cittadino — nove anni, non nove mesi — il centrodestra sembra essersi finalmente accorto che diverse cose in questa città non funzionavano come avrebbero dovuto.

Non ultima la raccolta porta a porta in collina, oggetto delle recenti critiche dell’ex capogruppo di Fratelli d’Italia Pelagalli. Una critica che, nel merito, possiamo anche condividere: il servizio presenta problemi e va migliorato. Ma viene spontaneo chiedersi dove fosse il centrodestra quando, il 6 ottobre 2025, si decise di estendere il porta a porta alla collina. Non era una decisione dell’attuale amministrazione e l’assessore ai rifiuti di allora non era certo un “signor nessuno”, ma un esponente della maggioranza che ha governato la città per nove anni.

Lo stesso vale per il verde e le manutenzioni stradali. Oggi sembra che tutte le criticità emerse nelle settimane estive siano responsabilità di chi si è insediato il 15 giugno. Ma chi ha amministrato fino a poche settimane fa ha lasciato una situazione che presenta problemi strutturali: personale operativo insufficiente, servizi da riorganizzare, strumenti di gestione e manutenzione come gli accordi quadro che, a nostro avviso, non hanno garantito il necessario controllo e la necessaria programmazione.

Il gruppo consiliare del PD, dai banchi dell’opposizione, ha denunciato più volte negli anni le problematiche relative a manutenzione, verde, strade e servizi, facendosi portatore delle segnalazioni e delle istanze dei cittadini attraverso numerose interpellanze e atti consiliari e, soprattutto, avanzando proposte e soluzioni concrete, troppo spesso rimaste inascoltate o contrastate dall’allora maggioranza. Criticità che il centrodestra ha spesso minimizzato, ricordandoci che “i chilometri di strade sono tanti” e che “il verde in città è molto esteso”. In nove anni sarebbe stato necessario programmare per tempo il ricambio del personale operativo destinato al pensionamento, investire con continuità nella manutenzione e costruire una macchina amministrativa adeguata alle esigenze della città. Invece si è lasciato trascorrere il tempo senza affrontare adeguatamente criticità che erano note e ampiamente prevedibili.

Se il centrodestra vuole interrogarsi sulle ragioni per cui il 24 e 25 maggio i cittadini hanno scelto di cambiare amministrazione, indirizzo e colore politico, può partire da qui: i cittadini hanno visto e vissuto sulla propria pelle le conseguenze di un’amministrazione che, evidentemente, non ha saputo guardare abbastanza lontano né dare risposte adeguate ai problemi quotidiani della città.

E i problemi che per anni abbiamo segnalato e che oggi, improvvisamente, sembrano essere diventati evidenti anche a chi allora governava, spetta adesso a questa nuova amministrazione affrontarli: non vogliamo nasconderli né sottrarci alla responsabilità di risolverli. Ma è francamente singolare che chi ha governato fino a ieri pretenda oggi di attribuirne origine e responsabilità a chi si è appena insediato. Due mesi di nuova amministrazione non possono trasformare improvvisamente chi governava fino a ieri in uno spettatore di ciò che accade oggi”.

L’operazione si inserisce nel più ampio quadro dei servizi preventivi e di controllo del territorio disposti per verificare il puntuale rispetto dell’ordinanza prefettizia che ha istituito la cosiddetta “Zona Rossa” nel centro cittadino. Tale misura mira a contrastare i fenomeni di degrado urbano e a garantire una maggiore sicurezza sociale, attraverso un’intensificazione della presenza delle Forze dell’Ordine nelle aree più sensibili della città termale.

Proprio durante uno di questi capillari controlli all’interno del perimetro di sicurezza, seguiti ad una speditiva ma efficace attività informativa, l’attenzione dei militari si è concentrata sull’uomo, un trentottenne regolarmente residente a Montecatini Terme, coniugato e impiegato come operaio. Dagli accertamenti condotti nell’immediatezza attraverso le banche dati in uso all’Arma, è emerso che il soggetto era in regola con le norme sul soggiorno, ma destinatario di un provvedimento restrittivo pendente emesso il 17 ottobre 2024.

L’uomo è stato infatti condannato in via definitiva per una serie di gravi reati pregressi, tra cui lesioni personali aggravate, minacce e concorso in detenzione di sostanze stupefacenti ai fini di spaccio (artt. 582, 585, 612 del Codice Penale e art. 73 del D.P.R. 309/90). A seguito del provvedimento dell’Autorità Giudiziaria pistoiese, dovrà ora espiare una pena di 5 anni, 6 mesi e 6 giorni di reclusione.

Al termine delle formalità di rito, l’arrestato è stato associato presso la Casa Circondariale di Pistoia, a disposizione dell’Autorità Giudiziaria informata dalla Stazione Carabinieri operante. L’episodio conferma l’efficacia del dispositivo di sicurezza dispiegato nell’ambito della “Zona Rossa”, evidenziando come il presidio costante del territorio da parte dell’Arma sia uno strumento essenziale non solo per la prevenzione dei reati, ma anche per il mantenimento dell’ordine e della tranquillità pubblica.

Si tratta di un investimento sostenuto dalla convergenza di risorse provenienti dalla Regione Toscana, dall’Unione dei Comuni dell’Appennino Pistoiese, dal Comune di Pistoia, dal GAL Montagna Appennino e dalla Fondazione Caript. La pluralità dei soggetti che hanno contribuito alla realizzazione dell’intervento rappresenta già un elemento qualificante del progetto e pone le basi per una prospettiva che va oltre il semplice recupero dell’immobile.

Il Presidente dell’Unione, Luca Marmo, ha dichiarato: “L’avvio dei lavori rappresenta un momento importante perché da oggi questo progetto diventa concretamente visibile. La ex stazione FAP di Pracchia è un luogo che vogliamo restituire alla comunità e, contemporaneamente, trasformare in una porta di accesso alla montagna pistoiese. Non stiamo semplicemente recuperando un edificio: stiamo costruendo una nuova funzione territoriale”.

E poi ancora: “La posizione di Pracchia ci consegna una grande opportunità. La ex stazione può diventare un luogo nel quale chi arriva in montagna trova informazioni, servizi e strumenti per conoscere e vivere un territorio molto più ampio. Vogliamo che sia un punto di partenza, non un punto di arrivo: una struttura capace di distribuire valore e opportunità lungo tutto l’Appennino pistoiese“.

La collocazione di Pracchia rende infatti la ex stazione particolarmente significativa all’interno della strategia di valorizzazione dell’Appennino. Il paese costituisce uno snodo intermedio lungo l’asse che idealmente connette i territori delle aree metropolitane di Firenze e Bologna e può assumere, proprio per la sua posizione, una funzione di raccordo tra i flussi provenienti dall’esterno e il sistema della montagna pistoiese.

L’idea è quindi quella di fare della ex stazione un polo di ingresso alla montagna, nel quale concentrare prevalentemente servizi di natura turistica, capaci di orientare i visitatori, promuovere le diverse opportunità del territorio e mettere in relazione luoghi, percorsi, attività e comunità.

Conclude ancora Marmo: “Abbiamo la responsabilità di fare in modo che la ex stazione non venga pensata soltanto come un contenitore di servizi, ma come un luogo capace di rappresentare e mettere in rete la montagna. Per questo vogliamo costruire le sue funzioni insieme a chi ha contribuito a rendere possibile l’investimento e, soprattutto, insieme alle diverse componenti del territorio. L’obiettivo è fare della ex stazione FAP di Pracchia una vera infrastruttura territoriale: una porta di ingresso alla montagna, un punto di connessione tra territori e un polo di servizi capace di contribuire alla valorizzazione turistica e alla rivitalizzazione dell’intero Appennino pistoiese”.

Il ritrovo della gara è fissato per le ore 18 al Circolo Arci di Ponte alla Tavole dove alle 18,45 prenderà il via il primo concorrente.

Le iscrizioni alla gara termineranno il giorno 2 settembre (massimo 60 iscritti) e non verranno accettate il giorno della gara e vanno inviate all’indirizzo email pistoiasporttime@gmail.com La quota iscrizione alla gara e di euro 10 da saldare al momento del ritiro del pettorale.

Saranno premiati 10 primi assoluti uomini, 5 donne assolute, 5 veterani, 3 donne veterane e le società con maggior iscritti.

NAGOYA, Giappone, 28 agosto 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kowa Company, Ltd. (di seguito “Kowa”) sta sviluppando K-911 per l’indicazione della riduzione della pressione intraoculare (IOP) nei pazienti con glaucoma o ipertensione oculare tramite la sua società affiliata impegnata nello sviluppo farmaceutico negli Stati Uniti, Kowa Research Institute, Inc. (con sede nella Carolina del Nord, USA). Kowa ha annunciato oggi che la New Drug Application (NDA) presentata alla U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) il 30 giugno 2026 è stata accettata per la presentazione. La FDA effettuerà la sua revisione dell’NDA con una data di azione target del 30 aprile 2027, ai sensi del Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). 

K-911 (bimatoprost grenod) è un nuovo agonista del recettore del prostanoide FP, compreso l’ossido nitrico (NO) donatore di porzione, scoperto da Nicox S.A. (in seguito denominata “Nicox”), società farmaceutica francese focalizzata sulla ricerca e lo sviluppo di farmaci da prescrizione oftalmica. Kowa ha stipulato un accordo di licenza esclusivo con Nicox per lo sviluppo, la produzione e la commercializzazione in Giappone nel febbraio 2024 e per il resto del mondo ad esclusione di Cina, Taiwan, Corea e Sud-est asiatico nel luglio 2025.

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.”
