The city is suffering its worst flooding in more than half a century, and all the damage could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but Tuesday’s high tide may have never reached the lagoon city if a major engineering project had been ready on time. CNN’s Tom Sater explains why. TOM SATER, CNN CORRESPONDENT In 1966, Venice experienced its worst flood in history when water levels reached 194 centimeters, according to government statistics. Italy then invested billions of dollars in a system of floodgates that were supposed to protect Venice from the disastrous flooding the city is experiencing right now. It’s called MOSE—an Italian acronym for “Experimental Electromechanical Module.” The flood protection system is a series of underwater barriers designed to safeguard the three inlets leading to Venice’s lagoon during high tides. The system consist[s] of a series of bright-yellow gates that reach from one side of the inlet to the other set in a trench on the seafloor. Each gate is built from reinforced steel that provides resistance from the pounding waves. When a tide higher than 110 centimeters is forecast, compressed air is pumped into the gates, causing them to rise above the surface. When the high waters recede, the gates sink below the surface to their original position. There are a total of 78 gates among the three inlets. Engineers are currently working on how to raise them simultaneously. The first testing is expected next year. Work began on the barrier project in 2003. It has been under construction for years. An embarrassing corruption scandal, cost increases and related delays have caused many setbacks. It is now scheduled to be in operation by 2022. But as the climate crisis continues to cause sea levels to rise, the threat to the city is expected to worsen. Tom Sater, CNN. CNN主播 伊莎．索爾斯 威尼斯的水位預期將在接下來的幾個小時內達到一百五十公分，這被認為極不尋常。這座城市遭逢了超過半世紀以來最嚴重的洪水，全部的損害恐怕要花費好幾億美元，不過，一項大型工程計畫要是如期到位的話，週二的高潮可能根本就不會波及這座潟湖城市。本台記者湯姆．薩特說明原因。 CNN特派員 湯姆．薩特 一九六六年，威尼斯遭逢這座城市歷史上最嚴重的洪水，根據政府的統計數據，當時水位達到一百九十四公分。義大利於是投注數十億美元開發一套防洪閘門系統，該系統理應要保護威尼斯免於目前所經歷的洪災。那套系統稱為「摩西計畫」——這是「實驗性電機模組」的義大利文縮寫。 這套防洪系統是一系列的水中柵欄，設計要在高潮期間作為通往威尼斯潟湖三個入海口的一道防線。這套系統由一連串的鮮黃色閘門構成，架設在海床上的一條海溝中，從出海口的一端延伸到另一端。每道閘門都由強化鋼材製成，能夠抵擋拍打的海浪。 一旦預測到有高於一百一十公分的漲潮，壓縮空氣就會打入閘門裡，使閘門升至水面上方。等到高水位退去時，閘門就會沉到水面之下，回到原本的位置。 三個入海口共設有七十八道閘門。工程師目前正在研究如何讓這些閘門同時升起。首次測試預計在明年（編按：指二○二○年）進行。這項柵欄計畫在二○○三年就開始動工了，建造工程已經進行多年。一起難堪的貪污醜聞、成本追加以及相關的延宕帶來許多的阻礙。現在這套系統預定在二○二二年前啟用。 不過，隨著氣候危機持續造成海平面上升，這座城市遭遇的威脅預計會愈來愈嚴重。 本台記者湯姆．薩特的報導。

Book Synopsis Chinese Military Reform in the Age of Xi Jinping: Drivers, Challenges, and Implications by : Joel Wuthnow
Download or read book Chinese Military Reform in the Age of Xi Jinping: Drivers, Challenges, and Implications written by Joel Wuthnow and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has embarked on its most wide-ranging and ambitious restructuring since 1949, including major changes to most of its key organizations. The restructuring reflects the desire to strengthen PLA joint operation capabilities- on land, sea, in the air, and in the space and cyber domains. The reforms could result in a more adept joint warfighting force, though the PLA will continue to face a number of key hurdles to effective joint operations, Several potential actions would indicate that the PLA is overcoming obstacles to a stronger joint operations capability. The reforms are also intended to increase Chairman Xi Jinping's control over the PLA and to reinvigorate Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organs within the military. Xi Jinping's ability to push through reforms indicates that he has more authority over the PLA than his recent predecessors. The restructuring could create new opportunities for U.S.-China military contacts.

Book Synopsis Broader, Bolder, Better by : Elaine Weiss
Download or read book Broader, Bolder, Better written by Elaine Weiss and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Broader, Bolder, Better, authors Elaine Weiss, of the Broader, Bolder Approach to Education campaign, and Paul Reville, former Massachusetts secretary of education, make a compelling case for a fundamental change in the way we view education. The authors argue for a large-scale expansion of community-school partnerships in order to provide holistic, integrated student supports (ISS) from cradle to career, including traditional wraparound services like health, mental health, nutrition, and family supports, as well as expanded access to opportunities such as early childhood education, afterschool activities, and summer enrichment programs. The book builds on nearly a decade of research by the Broader, Bolder Approach to Education, a national initiative endorsed by more than sixty policy experts and leaders from across the country, and draws on the work of Harvard’s Education Redesign Lab. It pulls from case studies of effective ISS efforts in twelve diverse communities to illustrate the variety of strategies that can be adopted locally. A call to action that also provides examples of communities that are successfully leveling the playing field for poor children, this book offers a detailed vision for building—through field work, mobilization, and financing—comprehensive systems to prepare all children for success.

Book Synopsis Disaster Studies by : Janki Andharia
Download or read book Disaster Studies written by Janki Andharia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers several dimensions of disaster studies as an emerging discipline. It is the inaugural book in the series ‘Disaster Studies and Management’ and deals with questions such as “Is disaster management a field of practice, a profession, or simply a new area of study?” Exploring intersectionalities, the book also examines areas of research that could help enhance the discourse on disaster management from policy and practice perspectives, revisiting conventional event-centric approaches, which are the basis for most writings on the subject. Several case studies and comparative analyses reflect a critical reading of research and practice concerning disasters and their management. The book offers valuable insights into various subjects including the challenge of establishing inter- and multi-disciplinary teams within the academia involved in disaster studies, and sociological and anthropological readings of post-disaster memoryscapes. Each of the contributors has an enduring interest in disaster studies, thus enriching the book immensely. This book will be of interest to all the students and scholars of disaster studies and disaster management, as well as to practitioners and policymakers.

Book Synopsis The Power to Destroy by : Michael J. Graetz
Download or read book The Power to Destroy written by Michael J. Graetz and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the antitax fringe went mainstream—and now threatens America’s future The postwar United States enjoyed large, widely distributed economic rewards—and most Americans accepted that taxes were a reasonable price to pay for living in a society of shared prosperity. Then in 1978 California enacted Proposition 13, a property tax cap that Ronald Reagan hailed as a “second American Revolution,” setting off an antitax, antigovernment wave that has transformed American politics and economic policy. In The Power to Destroy, Michael Graetz tells the story of the antitax movement and how it holds America hostage—undermining the nation’s ability to meet basic needs and fix critical problems. In 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall declared that the power to tax entails “the power to destroy.” But The Power to Destroy argues that tax opponents now wield this destructive power. Attacking the IRS, protecting tax loopholes, and pushing tax cuts from Reagan to Donald Trump, the antitax movement is threatening the nation’s social safety net, increasing inequality, ballooning the national debt, and sapping America’s financial strength. The book chronicles how the movement originated as a fringe enterprise promoted by zealous outsiders using false economic claims and thinly veiled racist rhetoric, and how—abetted by conservative media and Grover Norquist’s “taxpayer protection pledge"—it evolved into a mainstream political force. The important story of how the antitax movement came to dominate and distort politics, and how it impedes rational budgeting, equality, and opportunities, The Power to Destroy is essential reading for understanding American life today.
