The upcoming Fiat Talento is a van that entered its second generation in 2016. Produced by the Italian automaker, Talento is replacing the old Fiat Scudo and is based on a third-generation of Renault Trafic. On the other hand, Talento is much bigger than the Scudo model, it offers more cargo space and better payload.
The customers can choose between nine body styles, from the standard van to the high-roof and long-wheelbase version. Plenty of trim levels are available, just like the wide range of engines, and overall, Talento is a good van to drive, it offers stylish exterior and the comfort is guaranteed.
Fiat Talento Exterior is Strong and Attractive
As mentioned, Fiat Talento is based on a Renault Trafic and its third-generation. Nine body styles are on the offer, so the customers can choose standard van, a van with shorter and longer wheelbase and even a high-roof version. The rear end is squared end it increases a load capacity. Transporting bulky object should not be a problem for Talento.
The rear doors can be open to a wide 255 degrees angle, so the access is easier than ever. This van will arrive with five style packs which include body colored bumper, door mirrors and sliding door rail covers. Up front, the fog lights are optional and much recommended as the visibility is great with this option loaded. Automatic headlights, heated electric wing mirrors, and 17-inch wheels are all standard.
Fiat Talento Interior is comfortable and Spacious
The interior is very practical and also comfortable. Everything inside the forthcoming Fiat Talento is ergonomically designed and shaped, the seats are comfortable and the buttons layout is perfect. The dashboard is nice and it provides a good layout for safer and more relaxing driving. The driving position is more than good and it provides an all-around view.
Some optional feature such as DAB radio, phone connectivity, USB ports and Bluetooth are now standard. Higher trim levels add air-conditioning, parking camera and rear parking sensors. The seats in standard trim come with a cloth. Top-range trims will benefit from a new 7.0-touchscreen, navigation, upgraded infotainment system, automatic wipers and also a leather upholstery.
Fiat Talento Engine and Fuel Economy
All of the Talento’s engines are diesel, whether with a single or twin-turbo technology, and all engines are coming with a 6-speed manual transmission. The base engine is a 1.6-liter turbo diesel, it comes with high torque, 260 lb-ft and with a good fuel economy, 33mpg to be exact.
However, the next one is a 1.6-liter MultiJet engine that makes 120 HP and 221 lb-ft of torque. Perhaps the strongest drivetrain is a 1.6-liter twin-turbocharged EcoJet diesel unit. This drivetrain is capable of producing up to 145 HP and 340 lb-ft of torque.
Fiat Talento Price and Release Date
Fiat Talento will cost around $25,000 for a standard roof van. However, the top-range trim with the EcoJet engine starts at $28,500. As you can see, the price is fair and it does not jump into the sky with more options loaded. The newest Fiat’s van will arrive at some point in late 2019.


Question about VisionTek ATI RADEON X1300 256MB DDR2 PCI Express Graphics Card
You can attempt to fix it, but be careful as a video card is a fragile piece of electronics and can easily be damaged. Do not attempt to fix your fan unless you absolutely sure you can do what I suggest and that you understand it.
The only tools you are going to need are a can of compressed air designed to clean out dust and a bottle of "three in one" oil. These can be bought at just about any hardware store, or even big-box stores. You are also going to need a screwdriver to remove the fan assembly.
Remove the fan assembly first by removing the screws holding it in place. Then, blow your entire fan assembly clean using the air can.
After you have done that, look for the back of the fan itself. There should be a piece of tape or plastic that can be removed covering the back of the fan. Remove this, then place one to two drop of your three in one oil into the hole that the tape was covering.
Let the fan assembly sit with the hole facing up for about 30 seconds. Then, spin the fan around a few times, and let it sit for another 30 seconds. This will ensure that the oil fills in all the little spaces it needs to lubricate.
Once your fan is done sitting, replace the tape (or put a new piece of electrical tape where it used to be, especially if the old tape is a little lose when you put it back on). Put the fan assembly back onto your video card in the position it was before you moved it. Put the screws back in the holes, and screw tight.
Put the card back in your system and try it out. If the noise has stopped, congratulations, you just saved yourself $120! If not, then your fan is either lose or there is something else wrong with the card, and it's time to start saving.
Let me know how things go. If you need any further support, leave a comment in this thread and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

What the Hero
In The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, heroes are portrayed as regular humans who only differ through what they understand from their failures. Santiago performs actions that any other man would execute in the given situation; however he learns from his mistakes and is willing to teach others through his failures. As Santiago tried to overcome the boundaries set on him by nature, he came to the acceptance that man does not have to accomplish the greatest goal, and ultimately understood that the greatest accomplishment was persevering through defeat. A hero is not a person who comes back on top and receives all the glory; it is a person whose commitment to their lifestyle allows them to accept and grow from their mistakes into a person more aware of his place in the world. In Santiago’s journey on the sea, he goes out to far to try and catch the greatest fish he can as a fisherman. A fisherman’s goal in life is to catch the trophy fish and to be recognized as a great fisherman. However, by trying to live up to the standards set by society, one forgets that a human cannot do everything. Santiago’s “choice [had been] to go there to find him beyond all people[,] beyond all people in the world” (Hemingway 50), rather than look for his prize fish in the safety of human limits. Santiago believed that in order to catch the greatest fish in his career, he must go out to extraordinary lengths, to places where no human would safely venture. However, once Santiago’s journey had been completed, he acknowledges that he “went out too far” (Hemingway 120). Santiago was beaten by only the problems he set out for himself; his excitement in catching the greatest fish shrouded the reality of what he was doing. Santiago realized too late that it was not worth it to kill himself and the fish in the search for self-pride. By pushing the barriers of one’s safety, Santiago understands that completing the greatest task is not worth it if you are damaging yourself...

The obese beast donned the cuddly suit while working on community projects with the League Two club.
Barlow was convicted this week of sending a photo of his penis to a 15-year-old boy.
A Stirling Albion insider said: “He’s been around the club for years.
“To be honest, he wasn’t much of a coach but he had qualifications coming out of his ears and he was a friendly lad.
“Every time you bumped into him, he was doing more and more around the place – he’d made himself indispensable, part of the furniture.
“A lot of people feel totally betrayed that he’s used friendships and the club itself to get close to children.”
Barlow, 22, was busted by police in May last year after the mum of the boy spotted suspicious correspondence on the phone of the youngster, who was a youth footballer, though not at Albion.
Weeks earlier, Barlow had helped lead an under-15s trip to Holland. Days after the squad came home, police contacted Stirling Albion and told them he wasn’t to be allowed to work with children and he was suspended.
Barlow, who denied the charge, claimed he had “misclicked” on his phone and had meant to send the photo of his penis to a stranger called “BentBoy” he’d met on the gay dating site Grindr.
But he admitted to police he had on another occasion quizzed the boy about masturbation, claiming it was “banter”.
Prosecutor Claire Rowan told Stirling Sheriff Court: “Barlow knew from having been a football coach the implications of communicating with a child. He knew the line that shouldn’t be crossed.”
Sentence was deferred for reports. Nobody from Stirling Albion was available for comment.

Tips & Advice
What is a DME claim?
A durable medical equipment (DME) claim is a form you fill out to get reimbursed for expenses that you paid for and are covered by insurance. If you bought something directly from the supplier, and it qualifies, you can be reimbursed by Medicaid insurance.
Which medical supplies are covered through Medicaid?
Medicaid will cover necessary durable medical equipment that your doctor prescribes for your in-home use. They must be durable, used for a medical reason, not typically useful to someone who isn’t sick or injured (like crutches or a wheelchair), is used in the home, and has a minimum of a three-year life expectancy. If your condition has extenuating circumstances, you can file a claim or speak to a Medicaid rep to discuss your options.
What are consumable medical supplies?
Consumable medical supplies are either disposable, or unable to withstand repeated use. They are items that get used up, and generally fall into the categories of bandages, antiseptics, and skin preparations. These are usually one-off products that cannot be reused.
Are medical supplies covered by insurance?
Most insurance companies and policies cover equipment that is prescribed by a doctor to treat or assist a patient in need. There can be exceptions and coverage might not necessarily be 100%, so the only way to know for sure r is to consult your policy or insurance rep. Most items of real need are covered. Supplemental insurance can offset many costs not covered by a standard policy. The good news is that if a doctor prescribed it, you are likely covered.
What is durable medical equipment?
There are two main types of medical equipment: disposable and durable. Durable medical equipment provides therapeutic benefits to a patient who is in need because of an illness or medical condition. Durables are usually reusable items, including beds, wheelchairs, breathing machines, canes or crutches, and monitors.
How much does a urology appointment cost?
There is no set cost on a urology appointment, and some start at $100 and can go up. Rates vary with each doctor and office and by services rendered. When asking a physician, find out if lab work is included in a quoted cost or is extra.
Prostate cancer is cancer of the male’s prostate gland – the glands associated with reproduction. It is one of the most common cancers in men. If diagnosed early, it is also one of the most treatable.
Is it necessary to get a referral to see a urologist?
Some insurance plans require a referral from a primary doctor if you want them to cover the costs. For other insurance plans, it is not necessary to get a referral to see a urologist.
What tests do urologists provide?
A urologist provides a variety of tests, starting with the testing of blood and urine samples that provide information not available in a physical exam. In men, they test for PSAs (a prostate-specific antigen) in the prostate, blood counts and kidney function. Additional image testing or (sonography) of the kidney, bladder, and prostate might be needed. A cystoscopy is a procedure that allows the doctor to examine and test the lower urinary tract (bladder etc.) for cancer. Organ and prostate biopsies, renal angiograms, and urine flow tests are also common tests readily available.
What does a urology exam entail?
A urology exam will depend on your specific condition. You can expect the standard paperwork plus a questionnaire that asks about your symptoms. You will very likely be giving a urine sample and exam is typical. The rest of the exam will depend on whether you are male or female, and what your specific needs are. Rectal (and prostate exam and/or tests for men), blood tests, imaging of organs, and other tests might be needed based on the diagnosis.

And just like its larger peers, it lets you work with a wide variety of different fabrics, including quite delicate and heavy ones. The Singer S0230 Serger Overlock Machine doesn't pucker the fabric and prevents any rips consequently.
The machine allows for 97 different applications, meaning you can do almost everything you want having it at hand, from sewing to trimming and finishing. Moreover, you'll be able to sew and seam finish at the same time, which can save you much time in the long run. You can use 2, 3, or 4 threads for a plethora of unique stitch combinations. And, as the manufacturer claims, you'll always get the exact result you expect from the machine due to the ultra-precise sewing speed adjustment.
The S0230 Serger Overlock Machine comes fitted with a differential feed, so you'll be able to easily adjust the feed. Do note that a differential feed mechanism is usually inherent for high-speed industrial usage, so we bet this compact machine will stand the test of time even with heavy use.
For Extra Convenience
Speaking about extras, the Singer S0230 machine comes with the Color-Coded Threading System to make the sewing process more intuitive and simple. Owing to the free arm situated at the bottom, you'll face no problems when working with tubular items like pant hems, cuffs, or sleeves. Just remove the accessory box (accessories included with the purchase) to expose the free arm, and you're good to go. As a nice touch, the machine has a narrow working space so as not to come in contact with the table.
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that the machine is equipped with Adjustable Tension and Stitch Length features, letting you customize the stitch length by varying the position of feed dogs and taking control of the amount of fabric being pulled by the machine. With that, you'll be able to adjust the tension depending on your sewing project.

What Is an Overlock Machine?
Overlock machines were originally used for industrial sewing. Today, however, thanks to the progress and advanced technologies they've made their way to the houses of regular people. So, what is a serger and why do we need one? Let's answer these questions. A serger, or an overlock machine as it's also called, is a device used to overlock stitches and enclose raw edges of materials to prevent them from fraying. A serger is also used to trim off excess seam allowance eliminating the need for you to do it manually later, when the sewing is done. Sergers do a great job of edging, hemming, and seaming, and are used to add a professional look and finish to your clothes. Though you could argue that a regular sewing machine can do the same thing, it would not be completely true. Unlike sewing machines, a serger uses loopers to feed several thread cones, and it also makes stitches much more elastic, which is essential if you want your clothes or some decorative elements to serve you longer.
With that said, a overlock machine is still not a stand-alone machine, and some projects simply cannot be done properly without using a sewing machine. So if you haven't got one or you wish to upgrade your old model to a more advanced one, make sure to look through our brand-new selection of sewing machines.
What Features to Compare
Before you decide on any particular model of overlock machine, you should firstly determine what you are going to use it for. If you need a device for home use, we recommend you to opt for a serger that can be used with 2, 3, and 4 threads. Such models show great results in stitching light and medium weight fabrics and accept almost all tread types. But you should look for a 5-thread machine if you need it for commercial use. These are considered to be the most professional and sophisticated machines in the industry. They create strong seams required for lacing heavyweight fabrics and also eliminate the need to reinforce the seams with a sewing machine additionally.
Sewing Speed and Usability
If compared to sewing machines, overlockers operate at higher speeds, reaching 1300-1500 stitches per minute. And obviously, the faster the serger is, the quicker it can complete its tasks. However, it shouldn't be out of blue that such high-performing machines are usually more expensive, too.
Also, we recommend you to opt for a serger equipped with lower looper threaders and needle threaders. They will make the process of feeding threads to the machine easier and quicker.
An adjustable differential feed function is what differs overlock machines from other sewing equipment and allows users total control over the speed of feeding fabric through the needle area for the best results. This feature is of utmost importance when stitching stretch fabrics and is a guarantee of no wave-like effect on the edges.
Lastly, don't overlook the features that can make using the machine more enjoyable. Opt for models that come with a generous range of accessories. It's nice when a bundle includes both a blindstitch foot and a gathering foot at least. Other welcome additions are sets of needles, screwdrivers, tweezers, nets, spool holder caps, lint brushes, needle threaders, accessory boxes, and the like.
A built-in color-coded threading guide will be a helpful addition for novice users. It'll provide precise stitching and ensure a high-quality finish each time.
Did you know?
The Brief History of Sewing Machines
The first sewing machine was invented in 1790 by the English inventor, Thomas Saint. The sewing machine was meant to be used on canvas materials and leather. It used a single thread to make stitches in the fabric. However, Thomas Saint couldn’t market his invention, since it required steady improvement. It was in 1874 that William Newton Wilson, a sewing machine manufacturer, finally built a successful machine. He found Saint’s drawings and made some improvements to the looper.
The first electric sewing machine was manufactured by Singer Sewing Co and introduced to the mass market in 1889. It was just a standard machine with a motor strapped on its side. After some time, the motor was embedded into the casing. By 1905, electric sewing machines were widely used at homes and factories.
Overlock stitching was created in 1881 by the Merrow Machine Company. This stitching technology became a starting point for the invention of an overlock machine. The first one was patented by the owner of the same company, Joseph Merrow, in 1889.
Interesting Facts About Sewing
- The archaeological records show that people sewed some pieces of fur, skin, and bark together to make clothing about 25,000 -30,000 years ago. They used thin strips of animal hide to stitch together large pieces of fur. Sewing appeared even before weaving. Actually, it’s the first form of textile art.
- The earliest needles were made from bone and ivory, while early pins were made from fish bones. It was not until the Bronze Age that metal needles and pins were invented in Europe.
- During the 20th century, over 4,000 different sewing machines were produced.
- An average lifespan of cotton fabric is somewhere about 100 years.
- China is the leading fabric producer and exporter in the world. It’s followed by India, Italy, and Germany.
- Originally, zippers were invented for shoes and boots. They could speed up the buttoning process, which was especially important for the laboring class. Soon after, zippers were adapted to pants, skirts, and jackets.
- The Singer company has always been creating the most successful sewing machines compared to competitors. The secret of their success lies in the superior durability of their sewing machines. And here is an interesting fact - the first Singer sewing machines made of cast iron were some of the strongest machines ever invented. The Singer company worried that their machines might serve for several hundreds of years and be passed down for generations, which could lead to the loss of revenue. That’s why the company began to produce flimsier sewing machines. Singer also launched a buyback program for their cast iron machines and then destroyed them with sledgehammers.
- A recent survey in the USA has shown that 51% of sewers own as many as three sewing machines, and overlock is one of them.

Egging You On: Over Easy Keeps Eggs in Style
Over Easy? Named for their heavy reliance on eggs? Partially.
Chef Braden (who is also the owner) claims it is an expression of their style—casual, non-pretentious, kid-friendly and welcoming. Though, they do use “a lot of eggs,” says his wife Stephanie, who can be found waiting tables and ringing up customers.
They started out as a pop-up restaurant about five years ago and went to a more permanent structure when it became available in November of 2019. Situated between N. Bartlett and the parking deck in Medford, they have a great walk-to location. It is best to park on Main Street, or one of the avenues and head on over. It must be “easy” to locate if I can find it, claims my 15-year old.
The restaurant is simply decorated with white walls, intimate tables distributed between two seating areas, and a wide-open kitchen. Though I did see a pink flamingo with a Santa hat and a few colorful pieces of modern art on the walls. Once seated, the menu had five choices for the weekend we arrived—four savory and one sweet option. And I overheard that there was a special for the day including two boiled eggs, Spanish anchovies, prosciutto and arugula.
When this particular dish came out from the open kitchen, I saw a beautifully-presented plate with anchovies as a bottom layer, thinly sliced medium-boiled eggs arranged like one’s favorite books on a shelf covered in a jaunty thinly-sliced prosciutto hat. I also overheard the dish devourer proclaim upon completion, “That was really good and quite different.”
For myself, I ordered the Chorizo and squash Frittata with onion, fresh roasted garlic cloves, pepper jack cheese, spinach, potatoes, cilantro with ancho crema (a specific type of Poblano Chile turned into a slightly sweet and savory sauce) dripped over the top.
The first thing I noticed (besides my taste buds singing when the initial morsel left my fork and hit my tongue) was the absolute precision of the ingredient proportions. Their Chorizo was not overly spicy, but every bite contained a mingling of flavors and ingredients cooked to the right texture and temperature. I did not end up with only spinach or poblano or any cold bits in my last bites. The combination of potato, poblano, garlic and chorizo was brilliant and Chef knows how to coax those eggs into perfection!
My 15-year old son who is becoming quite the brunch cuisine connoisseur (because he does not get up until around noon anyway) ordered the sweet entree of chocolate buttermilk pancakes with peanut butter cups, cocoa Chantilly and peanut butter syrup. Now he likes chocolate but this was full-on cocoa-loco. It had chocolate pancakes with chocolate chunks covered in dollops of chocolate-flavored whipped cream. If he did not use the syrup, there really was not a high ratio of peanut butter to cocoa.
He described it as, “more like dessert than breakfast.” Now, that would have been just fine for me, but he chose to eat some of my dish, so he could “get some nutrients.” The pancakes were delicious; the syrup, though, was more peanuty than buttery (not everyone’s taste). It had chopped peanuts in a semi-viscous liquid that tasted divine.
Although the restaurant is only open from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm and we arrived after noon, we did not feel rushed or pushed out the door. Everyone that walked in, including those that got there at 1:15 pm, were greeted with a smile and welcoming: “come on in.” I bet if you got there early the coffee would be steaming hot, which was my only suggestion for improvement. Before we left, Chef Braden and his wife explained that they were considering opening one or two nights a week depending upon demand.
Right now, they seemed to have the perfect hours to meet their patrons’ needs. Feel free to taste test yourself and provide your feedback on their changing menu and hours.
7:30 am – 1:30 pm, Wednesday – Friday
8:30 am – 1:30 pm, Saturday and Sunday

Nursing-home union calls off strike after Raimondo intervenes
The union representing workers at five Rhode Island nursing homes has postponed a strike indefinitely after Gov. Gina Raimondo urged them to hold off and pledged to work on staffing legislation the union favors.
Workers at Charlesgate Nursing Center in Providence, Bannister Center in Providence, Genesis Pawtucket Center, Hopkins Manor in North Providence and Genesis Greenville had planned to go on strike Aug. 5. In a letter Thursday, Raimondo urged SEIU Healthcare 1199NE to postpone any strike and said she was “fully committed” to working on staffing issues and developing a minimum-staffing standard.
The union wants Rhode Island to pass legislation that would mandate 4.1 hours of resident care a day in nursing homes. Raimondo said July 22 that she favored the legislation, which passed the Senate but did not pass the House.
"My office is fully committed to working with the Legislature and the leadership of SEIU District 1199 to reach a fair resolution of the staffing issues you have raised and to develop a minimum staffing standard,” Raimondo said in her letter.
Raimondo had previously urged the unions not to go on strike, pointing to the crisis that nursing homes face right now with the coronavirus pandemic.
After her letter Thursday, the union agreed.
“For years, caregivers, seniors and family members have been calling for an end to the deadly status quo in nursing homes, and we are glad Governor Raimondo has taken an important step toward ending the short staffing crisis,” Adanjesus Marin, lead organizer for SEIU 1199NE, said in a news release.
The trade group of for-profit nursing homes in the state has warned that the legislation would go much further than any other state’s and would put homes out of business. They instead favor a House commission looking into various nursing-home financial issues.
“We’re pleased that they did finally take the action to call off the strike,” Scott Fraser, president and CEO of the Rhode Island Health Care Association, said in an interview. “Because this has caused a lot of stress and concern not only to our homes, but the residents. Planning a three-day walkout of your entire staff in the middle of a pandemic, that’s just unconscionable. That’s just wrong. We’re glad they did make that change.”

Top Gear presenters Chris Harris and Eddie Jordan have walked away from an incident during filming which saw the car they were driving go up in flames.
Harris and Jordan were driving a pre-production Alpine sports car model during filming on a closed section of the Monte Carlo Rally's SS17 when they were forced to pull over and leave the vehicle after being told that flames were coming from the bottom of the car.
The Top Gear team detailed the incident on their website, and explained that while neither presenter was injured during the incident, fire crews were ultimately unable to contain the fire and the Alpine sports car was lost.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
"I first realised I needed to get out when I opened the door and the flames went up my arm," Harris said in a statement. "Sadly the car was lost and it always makes me sad to see a beautiful car destroyed."
Former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan added: "Doing a stage of the Monte Carlo Rally was a dream come true for me. The car was stunning – so light on its toes. It was dancing around the mountain and Chris was driving it beautifully.
"It's such a shame we didn't finish the test, but these things happen."
A Top Gear spokesperson added to Digital Spy: "There was an incident during filming in Monaco last Monday morning with an Alpine that led to a fire taking hold of the main vehicle – which Alpine is now investigating.
"Thankfully Chris Harris and passenger Eddie Jordan, both exited the stationary vehicle unhurt."
Top Gear is returning for its 25th series on the BBC later this year, once again with the revamped hosting line-up of Matt LeBlanc, Rory Reid and Chris Harris taking the lead.
Contributor Eddie Jordan will be back, while Sabine Schmidt is also expected to return.
While we don't yet have a confirmed premiere date for the new series, we do have a full-length trailer teasing what's in store, featuring everything from flying cars to tractors and dancing (obviously).
Top Gear airs on BBC Two.

After hearing much acclaim about Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman, starring Michael Keaton in a role that's garnering a lot of Oscar buzz, I finally saw the theatre-centric flick. Almost a treatise on what it means to be an actor and the state of theatre today (most the film is even set in the storied St James Theatre, where you can currently see Side Show), Birdman follows Keaton's Riggan, an actor who hit it big 20 years ago as the titular caped crusader and is now trying to make a comeback as an actor by writing, directing and starring in a Broadway show. He's also attempting to mend his relationship with his not-entirely-rehabilitated daughter, Sam, played by an emaciated Emma Stone.
Throughout, Riggan's actor-cred is challenged by Edward Norton's Mike Shiner, a beloved theatre actor who's a mess in his own right. (Mike boards the show after the other actor, played by the great Tony nominee Jeremy Shamos, is injured. Naomi Watts and Andrea Riseborough are the other actors in the play.) He's also challenged by the prospect of a New York Times review from chief theatre critic, Tabitha (Lindsay Duncan). It is Riggan's interactions with Mike and Tabitha that bring out the best state-of-the-theatre speeches. (In addition, Zach Galifianakis and Amy Ryan appear intermittently as Riggan's lawyer/producer and ex-wife, respectively. Galifianakis proves a good straight man for the spiraling Riggan, and Ryan's understated portrayal packs a powerful emotional punch.)
I'm pretty sure that's what was happening. I can't be entirely certain because of the distractingly good technical achievements. The sound design is effective, with a ticking clock heard throughout and original drum solos punctuating Riggan's emotional state. (Original score by Antonio Sanchez.)
The truly great feat is that it looks like the film was created in one extended tracking shot. Of course, we know there are edits because (1) it would be impossible to make a film in just one shot and (2) because of continuity errors that frequent theatergoers like me can't miss. But it looks like it's all one shot and that's phenomenal. It keeps the story moving—literally—no matter what happens. It's supposed to make you focus on what's happening because you aren't being subjected to edits every three seconds (sort of the anti-American Idiot treatment). Sure, the actors' performances are good (truly: welcome back, Michael Keaton; nice to see you, Edward Norton), but it's director of photography Emmanuel Lubzeki and editors Douglas Crise and Stephen Mirrione that really make Birdman take flight.

Nuclear Abolition News | IPS
By JAMSHED BARUAH
OSLO (IPS) – For the first time, ‘humanitarian diplomacy’ is being deployed to drive home the need for banning nukes – though under the self-imposed exclusion of the P5, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, who own a crushing majority of the 19,000 nuclear weapons capable of destroying the world many times over. [P] ARABIC | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | PORTUGUESE | SPANISH
A first step toward humanitarian diplomacy was taken in Oslo at a Mar. 4-5 conference convened by the government of Norway. Mexico will host a follow-up meeting “in due course” and “after necessary preparations,” Juan José Gómez Camacho, the country’s ambassador to the UN announced.
Participants in the conference included representatives of 127 states, the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement and civil society, with the International Campaign for Abolition of Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) in the forefront.
ICAN organised a Civil Society Forum on Mar. 2-3 with the Norwegian government’s support. Some 500 campaigners, scientists, physicians and other experts attended. The forum lent a vigorous dimension to a global campaign for outlawing all nuclear weapons.
ICAN representatives said they will work with governments, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and other partners towards a new treaty banning nuclear weapons. ICAN project manager Magnus Lovold welcomed the 2013 Peace Proposal by Daisaku Ikeda, president of the Tokyo-based Buddhist organisation Soka Gakkai International (SGI).
Ikeda proposed that non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and forward-looking governments establish an action group to draft a Nuclear Weapons Convention (NWC) outlawing nuclear weapons – which apart from being inhumane swallow some 105 billion dollars a year at current spending.
SGI executive director for peace affairs Hirotugu Terasaki said that both the ICAN forum and the Oslo government conference had lent significant momentum to ushering in a world without nuclear weapons.
SGI hopes that the G8 Summit in 2015 and the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would serve as milestones towards an expanded summit for a nuclear-weapon-free world.
A broad section of participants at the government conference expressed dismay at the decision of the P5 – the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France – to stay away from the meeting without giving any reasons.
But many nevertheless expressed interest in further exploring the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons “in ways that ensure global participation,” said Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, summarising the outcome of the conference. “States expressed their interest in continuing the discussions, and to broaden the discourse on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons.”
Avoiding any caustic comments on P5’s decision to boycott the conference, Eide asserted: “It is the chair’s view that . . . broad participation (in the conference) reflects the increasing global concern regarding the effects of nuclear weapons detonations, as well as the recognition that this is an issue of fundamental significance to us all.”
These remarks were significant considering that Norway is a founding member of the U.S.-led 28-nation transatlantic military alliance, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). NATO announced a “strategic concept” at its Lisbon meeting in November 2010, which “commits NATO to the goal of creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons – but reconfirms that, as long as there are nuclear weapons in the world, NATO will remain a nuclear Alliance.”
Answering a question by this correspondent, Eide insisted that Norway was committed to “creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons.” In his view, concerns about nuclear weapons proliferation have brought awareness of the continued risks all nukes pose more to the fore than at any time since the vast majority of states signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968.
Since the 2010 review conference of the parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), there has been a growing, if still nascent, movement to outlaw nuclear weapons.
Some key points that emerge from scientific presentations and general discussions in Oslo are:
No state or international body would be in a position to adequately address the immediate humanitarian emergency caused by a nuclear weapon detonation and provide sufficient assistance to those affected. It might not be possible to establish such capacities, even if it were attempted.
The effects of a nuclear weapon detonation, irrespective of cause, will not be constrained by national borders, and will affect states and people in significant ways, regionally as well as globally.
Dr Ira Helfand from International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) explained that the widespread radioactive contamination would affect housing, food and water supplies. He said the financial costs in terms of property damage, disruption to global trade and general economic activity, and the impact on development in terms of the creation of refugees would be enormous.
The final document of the review conference notes “deep concern at the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons” and reaffirms “the need for all states at all times to comply with applicable international law, including international humanitarian law.”
This was followed by a resolution by the council of delegates of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in November 2011, strongly appealing to all states “to pursue in good faith and conclude with urgency and determination negotiations to prohibit the use of and completely eliminate nuclear weapons through a legally binding international agreement.”
Subsequently, at the first session of the preparatory committee for the 2015 NPT review conference held in May 2012, 16 countries led by Norway and Switzerland issued a joint statement on the humanitarian dimension of nuclear disarmament, stating that “it is of great concern that, even after the end of the Cold War, the threat of nuclear annihilation remains part of the 21st century international security environment.”
They stressed: “It is of utmost importance that these weapons never be used again, under any circumstances. . . . All States must intensify their efforts to outlaw nuclear weapons and achieve a world free of nuclear weapons.” In October 2012, this statement, with minor revisions, was presented to the first committee of the UN General Assembly by 35 member and observer states.
In line with broad sentiment, ICRC president Peter Maurer welcomed the Norwegian government’s initiative to convene the conference on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons. Although nuclear weapons have been debated in military, technical and geopolitical terms for decades, it is astounding that states have never before come together to address their humanitarian consequences, he said.

Muse 'planning to enter the studio later this year'
Muse are set to head to the studio "later this year" in order to record new music.
This is according to the band's frontman and electric guitar player Matt Bellamy, who told NME he is hopeful of getting started on a new album in 2011.
He revealed that some work has already been done, with Bellamy playing new material to Dom Howard, the man behind the drum kit in the band.
Muse also expect to play a number of live dates over the course of the year and Bellamy explained that he hopes a show in Moscow will be on their itinerary at some point.
His remarks came after a successful night for the group at the NME Awards, where they were named as the Best British Band.
Muse are set to head out to South America next month as they embark on a short tour of the continent.
The electric guitar band will kick off a run of gigs in Santiago in Chile on March 25th, moving on to play three dates in Argentinean capital Buenos Aires.
They will then move on to Brazil, for three shows at the Estadio Morumbi in Sao Paulo which have already sold out.

Report : Europe Multi-Cloud Management Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Component (Software and Service), Deployment (Public Cloud and Private Cloud), Application (Infrastructure and Resource Management, Identity and Policy Management, Compliance Management, Metering and Billing, and Provisioning and Lifecycle Management), and Verticals (IT and Telecom, BFSI, Government, Retail and Consumer Goods, Travel and Hospitality, Healthcare and Life Science, and Others)
At 26.8% CAGR, the Europe Multi-Cloud Management Market is speculated to be worth US$ 9,556.97 Million by 2028, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Europe multi-cloud management market was valued at US$ 2,299.23 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 9,556.97 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 26.8% from 2022 to 2028. Surge in need to avoid vendor lock-in and rise in demand for disaster recovery solutions are the critical factors attributed to the Europe multi-cloud management market expansion.
Vendor lock-in refers to a situation wherein an organization wants to transfer its business from one of its current vendors but cannot do so due to various reasons, such as projected cost, duration, and complexity of switching. Avoiding vendor lock-in is the most frequently mentioned among the many benefits of a multi-cloud strategy. As per a survey conducted by Stratoscale, more than 80% of businesses expressed moderate anxiety about being tied to a single public cloud platform. However, adopting multi-cloud management can help avoid such instances, which are among the basic needs of some organizations. A multi cloud approach reduces dependence on any single vendor, enables vendor diversification, and prevents lock-in. This is important for enterprises to ensure that they can adopt the most relevant platforms for their business objectives and move among cloud stacks as needed. Due to the multi-cloud approach, end customers can now switch between several providers, which lessens their reliance on a single supplier. This relative independence encourages customers to haggle with merchants for lower prices. Service level agreements (SLAs) for multi-cloud management services provide data deployment flexibility and permit end users to migrate their workloads to different clouds as needed. End users can also utilize multi-cloud management systems to manage complicated applications across several heterogeneous cloud platforms to benefit from the highest level of independence. Because of the abovementioned factors, multi-cloud management removes vendor lock-in and permits easy switching between vendors. Thus, the elimination of vendor lock-in ability by multi-cloud management contributes to the Europe multi-cloud management market growth.
On the contrary, security concerns regarding adoption of multi-cloud solutions hurdles the growth of Europe multi-cloud management market.

Recruiting never stops, and if you take a day off, you fall behind. Join us every night for a daily recap of Ohio State recruiting news, insight on what’s happening behind the scenes, and for a glimpse at what’s coming next.
Zeke Correll latest 2019 Ohio prospect to earn Buckeyes offer
Ohio State isn’t wasting time offering the best players in Ohio’s 2019 recruiting class. On Thursday night, the Buckeyes offered Cincinnati Anderson’s Zeke Correll, one of the country’s premier interior offensive linemen.
— Zeke Correll (@zekecorrell) May 25, 2017
Correll now holds offers from 10 schools. He had a pretty good idea the Buckeyes offer was on its way.
“I wasn’t sure if it was coming on Wednesday or Thursday,” he told Land of 10 following the offer. “But I knew it was going to happen soon.”
Ohio State has been watching the 6-foot-4, 270-pound Correll closely this spring. He was dominant at Nike’s regional camp for The Opening in Cleveland in early April and has been turning heads everywhere he’s gone. To add an offer from the Buckeyes is something he’s understandably excited about.
“It’s awesome,” Correll said of the offer. “It’s surreal. Ohio State is elite football and an awesome education.”
The Buckeyes are now regarded as the team to beat moving forward in Correll’s recruitment, though his family ties to Kentucky are going to come into play. His father and his brother both played for the Wildcats and his mother was a two-sport athlete at Kentucky. His grandparents attended the school. Two of his sisters were part of Big Blue Nation. How can he possibly decide against that kind of history? It won’t be easy, according to Correll, but there’s also no hurry to make a decision.
“I am going to try and take my time, to enjoy the process,” he added. “My family has their opinions, but everyone keeps it to themselves.”
Amari Burney set to decide: Will it be Ohio State, Florida or Virginia Tech?
There may not be a position more interesting to pay attention to than the defensive backfield when it comes to Ohio State recruiting. Recent NFL draft success has made the Buckeyes the school of interest for players all over the country.
And even with two safeties already pledged for 2018, additional names continue to pop up and bear watching. Earlier in the week we talked about BJ Foster and his upcoming decision (June 5), and today we’re talking about another big-time safety who has set a decision date.
Amari Burney, a 4-star safety from Clearwater, Fla., will make his decision on June 1.
“Yes, sir,” Burney said when asked if he’s still deciding next Thursday. “It’s between Ohio State, Florida and Virginia Tech.”
With a week left until an announcement is made, you’d think Burney would have a decision made already. That isn’t the case, though.
“I will know by Thursday,” Burney said. “Right now, everything is still pretty equal.”
Burney visited Ohio State for the spring game in mid-April and said that things remain very positive with the Buckeyes. Greg Schiano has been at the fore of his recruitment for months and the pair remain in regular contact.
“(Schiano) is saying all the same things he’s always told me,” Burney said of his conversation with the Buckeyes. “He likes my game and loves my speed.”
What may not be ideal for Burney is the fact that Jaiden Woodbey and Josh Proctor are already committed to Ohio State. He says, though, that he won’t be dissuaded by any potential competition.
“No,” he said when asked if the two committed safeties have any impact on his choice. “I’m very comfortable with my game.”
Currently, Florida has 100 percent of the 247Sports.com crystal ball predictions for Burney. A decision that wasn’t for the Gators would be a major surprise.
2018 defensive tackle interested to learn more about the Buckeyes
Earlier this week we talked about 2018 defensive tackle Tramel Walthour, a fast-rising 3-star prospect from Hinesville (Ga.). Ohio State offered Walthour sight unseen on Tuesday, days after he received an offer from his “dream school,” Georgia. The Buckeyes offer came the same day that Auburn and Arkansas also came through with scholarship opportunities for him.
“I had a pretty good day,” Walthour told Land of 10 about that afternoon. “It means a lot to me knowing that the top schools in the nation want me to come play for their team. It’s really exciting and a real blessing.”
Though former Ohio State linebacker Raekwon McMillan and current Georgia freshman Richard LeCounte III played ball at Liberty County, where Walthour plays, he says he’s not that familiar yet with the Buckeyes. He hopes to change that soon.
“I don’t know that much about Ohio State,” he said. “I’m planning on getting to know them a little bit better.
“It was really cool to be able to talk to Urban Meyer.To have him tell me himself that he likes me, that he feels I can play (at Ohio State). That was really cool. My coach and I are going up there this summer.”
What is it about his game that has Meyer and Larry Johnson Sr. interested in the 6-foot-4, 275-pound tackle?
“They told me that off of film, I’m a good run stopper and I have good feet,” Walthour said. “They think I can get after the quarterback on the pass rush, too. They also said they like my frame and size.”
Another Texas QB offered in class of 2019
For the second time in two weeks, Ohio State has gone to the Lone Star State and offered one of the premier 2019 quarterbacks in Texas. In early May, it was Allen’s Grant Tisdale, and on Friday afternoon it’s Roschon Johnson from Groves High School in Port Neches.
— r_johnson1 (@RoschonJ) May 26, 2017
Johnson, who was named MVP of his district as a sophomore, is a top target for the Texas Longhorns and the country’s third-ranked dual-threat quarterback in his class. He already holds offers from Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma, Oregon and a host of other schools that prioritize multifaceted quarterbacks over the traditional pocket passer.
Ohio State quarterbacks coach Ryan Day, with Emory Jones committed for 2018, has been able to spend the majority of the spring evaluation period looking at the 2019 class and he’s found a handful of players who fit the Buckeyes style.
With Memorial Day weekend upon us, there will be no Dotting the ‘Eyes on Sunday evening as there normally is. We’ll be back Monday night.
I wish you all a safe and happy weekend and offer a special thank you to all the servicemen and women risking your necks (and other body parts) for my freedom.

Mo Yan in the NYRB blog:
Getting into the People’s Liberation Army was hard, but not as hard as getting into college. So, starting in 1973, I sent in my application and took a physical exam at the commune every year, and every year I was rejected. But then, in February 1976, with the help of some important people, my persistence paid off—I received my enlistment notice. Soon after that, on a cold, snowy day, I walked some fifteen miles to the county town. There I put on an army uniform and climbed into the back of a military truck for the trip to Huang County, where I moved into the famous “Ding Family Compound” barracks and began basic training. (I would not revisit the site until the fall of 1999, after Huang County had evolved into the city of Longkou and Ding Family Compound had been converted into a museum. What had originally impressed me as the magnificent home of a wealthy landlord I now saw was little more than a squat building, proof that my horizons had broadened.)
After getting through basic training, I was sent, along with three other recruits, to a so-called Intelligence Unit of the Ministry of Defense. People back home complimented me on my good luck of having been assigned to such a fine unit, but it actually turned out to be a major disappointment—it was only a radio-monitoring station that was about to be phased out.

For many, the death of the US National Zoo's newborn panda is a heartbreaking loss. But for others, the cub's demise could add fuel to a controversial debate: Is it a waste of time and money to try to save the giant panda, a fragile species already on the brink of extinction?26 Sep 2012 - 3:43am
Unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard that Hong Kong's famed pandas, Le Le and Ying Ying, were recently feeling frisky, batting big black goo-goo eyes at each other and looking to get jiggy among the bamboo in their Ocean Park pad.25 Mar 2012 - 12:00am
Despite a huge investment in time and effort to save the panda, the future of one of the world's favourite animals could be at serious risk unless steps are taken to protect its natural habitat.
In recent years, habitats for China's national treasure have dwindled as a result of human encroachment and exploitation, pushing many species to the edge of extinction.29 Jan 2012 - 12:00am
The metal door opened and the young giant panda cautiously stuck out his head, peering inquisitively at the crowd of onlookers.
Nervously, he put his front paw down in his new enclosure and emerged for the first time.
It was one small step for Gongzai, but potentially a a giant leap for pandas born in captivity.29 Jan 2012 - 12:00am
