It’s a few hours before I’m supposed to meet Elvie Shane at a racetrack in Bowling Green, Kentucky, when my phone starts blowing up.
The lanky, tattoo-covered country singer, who scored a Number One hit with “My Boy” in 2020, is meeting me to put the 2024 Corvette E-Ray — top speed 183 mph — through its paces, and Shane is texting to say how excited he is to lay down some rubber.
“I’ll only kill ya once,” he writes. “I swear.”
Shane is used to driving fast. In his younger days,...

Italy, where debate over violence against women is currently raging, is celebrating International Women’s Day by becoming the first country to theatrically release “Tatami,” a female empowerment thriller about an Iranian judo fighter that made a splash in Venice and marks the first collaboration by Iranian and Israeli filmmakers.
Italy’s Bim Distribuzione is bowing “Tatami” – which is co-helmed by Iranian actress Zar Amir Ebrahimi (“Holy Spider) and Israeli director Guy Nattiv – on 90 local movie screens on Friday as an International Women’s Day special preview at a discounted €3.50 ($3.80) ticket price. The film will officially release locally on April 4.
“Tatami” reconstructs the tale of a young judo champion named Leila, played by Arienne Mandi, who Iranian authorities wanted to force to withdraw from a competition in order to keep her from competing against an Israeli athlete.
In an interview with Variety, Ebrahimi, who also stars, said that depicting the...

Backed by the Cannes Film Market and Argentina’s Incaa film agency, the 15th Ventana Sur and its much anticipated works in progress sections, Primer Corte and Copia Final, unspool over Nov. 27-Dec. 1 in Buenos Aires.
This year’s crop of films, either in post-production or completed, make scant reference to the region’s brutal historical past, perhaps with the exception of “Pepe” by Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias, which begins with the capture of drug lord Pablo Escobar who sowed terror and chaos for years in Colombia, or José María Cabral’s “Tiguere,” set in a ‘90s Dominican Republic.
In contrast, they focus more on human interest stories as in the territorial dispute in “El Casero”; family clashes in “November” and “Una casa con dos perros” – also a reference to Argentina’s economic crisis – as well as issues of identity and intergenerational relationships.

Mandi, Sep 13 (Ians) Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (Iit) Mandi have created advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and signal processing techniques for accurately predicting the structural health of bridges and other structures.
Bridges play a vital role in India’s infrastructure, with nearly 13,500 of them across the country. These structures undergo natural ageing due to environmental factors like temperature fluctuations, and water and air exposure, compounded by heavy road traffic.
Traditionally, assessing bridge conditions has relied on visual inspections, a method considered inadequate by experts. It falls short in detecting all structural issues and is subjective and time-consuming, involving manual analysis of numerous photographs.
The new deep learning (Dl)-based algorithms, developed in partnership with Inria in France, can identify and isolate structural damages by analysing recorded ambient dynamic responses, all without the need for human intervention.
“We have employed data-driven methods like Machine Learning, AI, and Bayesian statistical...
