If you are a current Sedona real estate owner of investment property you owe it to yourself as a savvy investor to become acquainted with the financial benefits of 1031 tax-deferred exchanges, as viable in 2015 as they were over 90 years ago.
1031 tax-deferred exchanges are "shelter" vehicles offered by the IRS. They allow the investor freedom from state and federal taxation on real estate profits if the money is rolled over into the purchase of other "like kind" property. By immediately reinvesting, the government views the transaction as "a continuity of investment" thereby allaying taxation on capital gains earned by the sale of the relinquished property.
Originally, tax-deferred exchanges were first made available by the 1921, but they were difficult and risky. In 1991, the IRS changed the regulations to make it even easier to exchange properties. Article 1031 under the current tax code allows for the deferment of capital gains tax if the individual purchases other "like kind" property within a definitive amount of time. "Like kind" includes property for rental, business and commercial purposes, apartment buildings and undeveloped land intended for investment. For example, a property owner can exchange a single-family rental property or condominium in Texas for land or a commercial building Arizona. Exchanging property instead of selling for cash allows owners to diversify or consolidate their holdings, reduce management commitment or improve their cash flow. The advantages to the real estate investor are substantial.
The tax deferred exchange strategy allows the investor to defer payment of capital gains taxes on an investment property by placing proceeds of a sale with an intermediary. Money otherwise earmarked for Uncle Sam now goes directly to work for you. The funds are temporarily held until a replacement property is identified. The funds are then reinvested within a specific time frame, in a like-kind property or properties of equal or greater value.
There are several types of 1031 Exchanges. The most popular is the Delayed Exchange. This is the perfect exchange program for when the investor sells the first property before finding a second property. The clock starts ticking when the first property is sold, and the investor has 45 days from that point to identify the second investment for exchange and 180 days from sale of the first property to complete the transaction.
The Reverse Exchange works when a replacement property is purchased before the first property is sold. Some intermediary companies will actually purchase the property and hold it if the first property is not sold in the allotted time. There is also what's called an Improvement Exchange, which allows the investor to acquire a property, make improvements, and then make the replacement with the improved property and the simultaneous exchange, which is a back-to-back sale.
Make sure that you use a knowledgeable intermediary if you're going to participate in a 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange for your Sedona investment property sale. A qualified intermediary offers a "Safe Harbor" for the exchange to take place and will be aware of the rules and qualifications of this strategy. Ask your favorite title company for a referral for a qualified intermediary. Happy Selling!


The approach to our landing was absurd.
Instead of looking through my night vision goggles and single-handedly flying the helicopter to the deck like I had trained my entire career, I hunched over and stared at the small acceleration gauge in front of me.
I made tiny control changes while three people gave me precise instructions. What's more bizarre, I "gave" the other pilot the collective, and I just controlled the cyclic. That's like asking your car passenger to push the gas and the brake while you hold the wheel.
And making it worse was the environment. We had progressed to more and more challenging conditions—a no-moon night to the sandiest, crummiest landing zone we could find in the Southern California desert, not the type of night the crusty old commodore would normally seek out for currency.
We were landing in the toughest degraded visual environment (DVE), and I couldn't see a thing. In fact, I was so intent on my gauges, I was surprised when the ground came up to meet my tail wheel first and then my main landing gear. Lt. Alexander "Feather" Campbell, my weapons and tactics instructor (WTI), reduced the collective, and the aircraft was safe on deck. "Great—let's take it around again, sir," he said.
In 2014, naval aviators crashed four MH-60 Seahawk aircraft landing in DVEs. Every service has struggled with DVE mishaps, crashing dozens of helicopters in DVEs over the last decade. We were crashing aircraft in a specific maneuver, and we needed solutions. Naval Aviation attacked the problem by making several changes to training and doctrine. We even secured Naval Air Systems Command's permission to fly the aircraft with the doors off, a very effective way to improve visibility close to the deck. But the most effective—and most radical—change has been adopting two innovative approaches: the "DVE Steep," in which the aircrew flies the aircraft down a steep glideslope to the deck on gauges, and the "DVE Hover," the control-swapping maneuver in which the crew brings the aircraft to a hover above the dust storm we create and then lands vertically through the cloud.
Today, the Department of Defense is encouraging a culture of innovation, an often challenging concept in a large organization. Yet these new approaches Feather taught are exactly the type of incremental "small-ball innovation" that drives us forward and makes a significant impact in our helicopter community.
While we value innovation, change is often difficult to embrace. A few years ago, several Army and Air Force special operations commands started introducing similar DVE approaches, but they never reached wide acceptance in any service. Aircraft differences and a lack of communication between organizations halted the progress. These approaches are not embraced because they are radically different from how helicopter pilots have always been trained. Most commanders don't even get beyond the PowerPoint description of the maneuver before they dismiss the idea completely.
But Helicopter Sea Combat Weapons School Pacific, where Feather was a pilot, developed an environment that allowed strange ideas to grow. They cultivated an innovation lab from an existing organization without requiring a new structure or additional resources. They work out of an old building; they don't have floor-to-ceiling windows, beanbag chairs or an indoor jump-around gym. But they keep coming up with good ideas that are just a little bit different and are ready to embrace change if it improves their tactics, techniques and procedures.
Maj. Chris "Habu" Walker, a U.S. Air Force exchange pilot, fit right into this environment. He came to the weapons school and described a radically different way to land the helicopter. The weapons and tactics instructors listened. They asked a million questions. Then, young aviators Feather and Habu took a couple of field trips to visit Army and Air Force commands. They decided, after a few adjustments to fit our aircraft and tactics, this radical idea could pay huge dividends for Naval Aviation.
Our Navy is hungry to tap into the innovative talent of 350,000 minds. We often pursue innovation by carving out distinct "change" organizations, but it doesn't seem to work when we put 10 people in a room and tell them to deliver quarterly updates on innovative ideas to win wars. The simplest way for us to encourage innovation is to create an environment within our existing squadrons and ships where good ideas can germinate. But this isn't easy, and it's even harder to maintain this initiative over time.
For the helicopter community, this weapons school continues to be that special place. From developing new joint exercise opportunities on a shoestring budget to rebuilding our tactics and procedures for the maritime fight, the school repeatedly proved their incremental innovation is not a lucky break, but a sustained environment where good ideas grow.
Feather and Habu's example demonstrates a few simple innovation principles for leaders at every level to consider: set a vision, cultivate an innovative environment, wrestle with the risk and follow through. We must do all these things for a new idea to take root.
As leaders, we must set clear intent without constraining how our people meet that intent. There are times we need to give narrow guidance. When possible, however, we should make the boundaries wide and be prepared for new approaches and different solutions. This isn't easy. Feather, Habu and their fellow WTIs feel free to attack issues with a clear understanding of our purpose. But, they often come up with a different solution that wouldn't occur to me or our commanders.
Cultivating and maintaining an environment for innovation takes untiring, focused effort. It is often less efficient in the short run. We have to create habits of an innovative culture by constantly testing ideas, citing examples and embracing innovative solutions. Habu's idea was unusual. The weapons school only considered his idea because leaders spent precious time cultivating an environment where initiative is valued.
It's just as hard for leaders within an organization to provide this space as ideas percolate. Most ideas die under the pressure of the big, grinding organization before they have a chance to show their benefit. Adm. Scott H. Swift, Pacific Fleet commander, calls this "the frozen middle"—the level of bureaucratic leadership that resists change and stifles potential innovation. The frozen middle repeats itself at every layer of our large organization.
Grappling with risk isn't merely an academic concept within our Navy. In our organization, risk has a real cost measured in mission failure, dollars and lives. As leaders, we must confront risk continuously. We also must continue to develop our capacity to tolerate risk if we want our people to innovate. In this situation, we continue to wrestle with risks as different squadrons and different pilots learn the new approaches Feather taught me.
We struggle most with follow-through. All too often, those of us who generate change and innovation are too quick to move on to the "next great idea." We see countless promising ideas and "lessons-learned" that don't take hold. These new ideas are fragile and need to be shepherded into practice. This requires sustained effort and persistence to codify a new approach into an institution that prefers to rely on trusted practices.
Our Navy has a rare opportunity. Our senior leaders today genuinely encourage innovation and are willing to accept risk associated with innovation. Young men and women join the Navy today to make a difference, and they are ready to contribute. We should embrace this rich resource of human ideas. As leaders, it's our responsibility to provide a vision, cultivate an environment for ideas, confront risk and ensure the new, fragile ideas don't die before they take root.
At the end of the flight, Feather and I sat in the aircraft and ran our engines as our maintainers finished the water wash. We were tired. Feather told me about his recent visit to the Naval Academy where a few midshipmen remarked cynically that it's hard for junior officers (JOs) to make a difference in a big bureaucratic organization. Feather disagreed. He was a JO on his second tour. He was a part of a great organization. He was training pilots to fight and win in combat. Feather was clearly making a difference for his nation, and he was also part of a special organization that kept coming up with crazy, incremental improvements that rippled through our big, ungainly organization. Feather is an innovator.

Discuss, review and rate They Keep Killing Steed.
A good fun script from Clemens (written for Spain, I'm glad they didn't go) with a great villain and enjoyable Steed business. Lovely surreal moments with Mother, Tara has a great bond with Von Kurt.
"That's Steed, who else would smile at a time like this".
Robert Fuest direction is gorgeous. He makes a quarry look fascinating. Clever use of a taxi as an entrance to an underground hideout. Wonderful panning, tracking and hand held shots of the conference as the Steeds mingle, all very disorientating accompanied by Johnson's quirky score.
I have to give this 10. Ogilvy is sublime and Tara is at her best.
The conversations between Steed and Arco are gripping and you can sense the one-upmanship battle for mastery, with each admiring the other - equally matched for a while, as they tussle via a chess game and accompanying verbal jousts. Steed admiring the knight's agility (and after all, the knight is a steed) and noting that Arco leans heavily upon his pawns.
In the end, Arco has to become Steed - there's something pre-ordained about it. He's almost a Steed fan. You sense his loyalty to his country/masters played less of a part in his mission than wanting to better the British master agent.
9 from me. Like the rural scenes.
10 out of 10 for this classic! Several Avengers episodes dealt with doubles, and this was the best of them (though I have to add that TNA's Faces is the very best doubles episode). This has a great plot and has a Summery feel good quality. I love Mother's submarine hideout (maybe the 2nd best one after the bus). I also love Tara's interaction with Ian Ogilvy, a sort of prelude to TNA with the three way lead. Rich.
I like this episode for Steed - Baron von Something is obnoxious and Tara appears to lose all reason the second he pops up. But Steed is at his finest, managing to do most of the work despite being the target.
I enjoy this episode hugely, and it's the one I frequently opt for when I get an attack of the afternoon Avengers munchies. Tara looks her absolute best of the entire series in the leather bomber jacket towards the latter part of the episode, It's just a pity about Ian Ogilvy, bleached hair, dire acting (I'll knock a point off for him). I wait ever time for this guys short appearance. his face as he realises who he is to become is priceless.
"So, I am to be Steeeeed"
This is a great episode. We have a nicely lean Steed (thanks to an amphetamined Macnee) in an interesting episode, both with a keen psychological aspect with the diabolical mastermind who kidnapped him, combined with a quirky sci-fi invention.
You have to put up with the Baron, true, but nonetheless, a great episode for solid Steed fans.
Having just experienced the plot holes in "Have Guns..." I found this episode's even worse anomalies totally frustrating. What were the other doppelgangers going to be if they weren't Steed? Why didn't Steed just replace his mask with another instead of planting more of his own.? Why wasn't Tara at the conference in the first place? Worst of all was Smythe ordering all the Steed's to be killed on no evidence at all that the real one was already dead ... and then decides the one to focus on is the Steed who has just saved the whole conference!
The plot was good but the flimsy execution ruined it for me. The episode was only saved by Ray McAnally's brilliant performance as the villain and Ian Ogilvy's Mercedes roadster.

When I learned today was National Peppermint Pattie Day, I was confused. Tara makes us a drink called the Peppermint Patty, with hot chocolate and peppermint Schnapps, and I at first assumed this is what we were celebrating, cold winter day and all. Nope. And we're not celebrating Charles Schulz's fictional cartoon character from Peanuts, either. Instead, we are honoring the York Peppermint Pattie®.
Oh, well. They're good, too.
The Peppermint Pattie was created by Henry Kessler of the York Cone Company in 1940. York's traffic cones were selling well, but didn't taste very good, so he decided to branch out into candy. Wait a sec…he sold ice cream cones. My bad. Anyway, chocolate covered peppermint candies had been around for years, but Kessler thought they were too soft, so he set out to create a crispier version, even performing a "snap test" to ensure it would break cleanly in the middle. The Peppermint Pattie became so popular, York stopped making cones altogether. The candy was only available regionally – mainly in the Northeastern United States – until 1975, when Peter Paul (which purchased the York Cone Company a few years earlier) rolled out the York Peppermint Pattie nationally. Peter Paul merged with Cadbury, and then Hershey's acquired Cadbury, so nowadays they are the ones making the York Peppermint Pattie. In Mexico, no less. Peppermint Patties are known for their strong, clean flavors – cool, minty sugar surrounded by crispy dark chocolate – and have far fewer calories and fat than competing candy bars. They're the health food of the candy world!
To celebrate the holiday, we just stuck with the basics and enjoyed a Peppermint Pattie after dinner. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best, especially with something so distinctly flavorful.
I have never had one because you can't get them here or they would be my favorite. Instead I enjoy After Eights, wafer thin but same concept with a snap. Dang I wish I knew or I would have had some…but it was National Peppermint Pattie day, Not International Peppermint Pattie day. Again…these foodie holidays are not available to me, so being the rebel I am, I will throw caution to the wind and celebrate one of these up coming days! Let me know when it is Corn Dog day, I want in on that one, or Toll House Cookie day!
There actually is a National Food On A Stick Day (March 28). We're planning on corn dogs and Popsicles!
Oh yeah…."Feel the sensation" or is it "Get"…either way….I like…alot!
"Get the sensation." It's right on the label. Good memory! (It was a nice sensation, too. Very frosty and smooth).
AWESOME post, Mark, on one of my FAVORITE candies!!!!
York Peppermint Patties – Get the sensation!


Welcome to this edition of Speaking on Art. Thank you to our splendid contributors.
Taking nothing from previous issues, this may well be my favorite carnival to date. Here we have beauty and wisdom combined; I imagine this is what heaven is like.
It has been said that we can learn more about an artist's work straight from his own mouth than we can from the critics. I would agree. In this issue we have highlighted artist's work and included a statement from each.
This carnival edition got me thinking about where the line is drawn between "fine" and "commercial" art. In art school it was rather distinct–the border between the two. Myself being a C.A. graduate, I always found my side of the art building much cleaner than the painting and sculpting side. Maybe, instead of "Artists", we should all call ourselves "Creatives". Work, well done, is Art to me. One thing for sure, you will be inspired by Very Sarie's, Gently Shake The World–her words are as "fine" as they come.
"An American-born British artist, I identify very strongly with the British tradition for landscape painting while retaining a certain "midwestern" eye for landscape with flat perspective and vast open spaces.
" Jesus said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. I not only believe this but extend it to encompass all communication, including visual art. I use the random techniques of the Abstract Expressionists and Surrealists to express most clearly, without literal connotations or illustration, the joi de vivre abundant within me by virtue of the Holy Spirit.
"I'm a Dutch born, Israeli based paper artist. My art is centered on hand-craftsmanship, and my current artworks are comprised of snippets of hand-torn paper, covered with acrylic paints and reconstructed by hand. My focal points of interest have been female images in various stages of life.
The chosen subject matter, multi-layering technique, innovative color-play and rich pattern design generate a uniquely complete universe of rich textures and harmonious complexity.
Artist and psychologist Sonia Ben Achoura translates her academic explorations of mind and body into a powerful visual language. Using art as a catalyst, Sonia, also Health Psychology MSc, conveys psychological concepts and phenomena through her paintings, hence adding a scientific dimension to her art project. Cutting-edge research findings are conceptualized in her creations, covering a broad spectrum including meditation, dreams, human interaction with technology, consciousness and evolution. Stylistically, her artwork manifests in either iconic geometric patterns with a futuristic edge, or in displays of expressive outbursts of vivid colour and energetic lines. Her artwork is regularly on show at European exhibitions.
Don Stewart takes a humorously intellectual approach to art. His use of a ballpoint pen, a holdover from his academic past, accounts for the crisp detail in his whimsical drawings; the black and white renderings come alive with hidden images and visual puns.
Stewart earned a degree in Biology & Art from Birmingham-Southern College, where he enrolled in drawing classes as a break from his premed studies. He continued to sketch as a hobby during medical school in Birmingham, AL and throughout his surgical internship at the Mayo Clinic. After a year of resident training, the pen finally proved mightier than the scalpel, and the young doctor's creative interests gained the upper hand. He finished his internship, earned his medical license, and promptly turned his full attention to drawing.
For the past twenty-seven years he has made his living as a self-styled Visual Humorist, hammering words and pictures together at the DS Art Studio Gallery in Birmingham.
The next Edition of Speaking Of Art is scheduled for November 1, 2013. The submission deadline is October 20th.
When we dare to follow our dream, take our chances, and believe in ourselves – Great things happen. Best of them all is living a life without regrets and reaching our self actualization.

Building Sector Must Change to Meet Global Energy Targets, New Study Finds
New modeling by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) shows how energy use in buildings can be cut by 60 percent by 2050 – essential to meeting global climate change targets – but this will require immediate action to transform the building sector.
This is the central message of the report from the WBCSD's four-year, $15 million Efficiency in Buildings (EEB) research project, the most rigorous study ever conducted on the subject.
"Energy efficiency is fast becoming one of the defining issues of our times, and buildings are that issue's 'elephant in the room'. Buildings use more energy than any other sector and as such are a major contributor to climate change," said Björn Stigson, president of the WBCSD.
"Unless there is immediate action, thousands of new buildings will be built without any concern for energy efficiency, and millions of existing, inefficient buildings using more energy than necessary will still be standing in 2050. Acting now means reducing their energy consumption and making real progress in controlling climate change.
"The market alone will not be able to make the necessary changes. Most building owners and occupants don't know enough and don't care enough about energy consumption, and inertia is reinforced by assumptions that costs are too high and savings too low.
That's why we are calling for a major, coordinated and global effort. If we can create that, we will cut greenhouse gas emissions and stimulate economic growth at the same time," he said.
The project took a bottom-up, market-driven approach to understanding the barriers to lower energy use, based on the most detailed view ever of the current state of energy demand in buildings. Energy use by building type was analyzed for millions of existing and new buildings and projected out to 2050, accounting for differences such as climate and building design. Using computer simulations, researchers were able to show the market response to various combinations of financial, technical, behavioral and policy options, identifying the optimum mix to achieve transformation for each market studied. The project's resulting report makes six principle recommendations:
• Strengthen building codes and energy labeling for increased transparency.
• Use subsidies and price signals to incentivize energy-efficient investments.
• Encourage integrated design approaches and innovations.
• Develop and use advanced technology to enable energy-saving behavior.
• Develop workforce capacity for energy saving.
• Mobilize for an energy-aware culture.
A printed copy and multiple language versions will also be available over the coming months.
• EEB's research covered the residential and commercial building sectors in the US, EU, Japan, China, India and Brazil.
• Together, these six countries/regions consume about two-thirds of current global energy output.
• Both existing and new buildings are included in the project's scope, which is monitored by an assurance group of six external experts, led by Klaus Töpfer, former head of UNEP (United Nations Environment Program).
• Lafarge and United Technologies Corporation co-chair the project, working with a WBCSD project director. The twelve other companies are: Actelios, ArcelorMittal, Bosch, CEMEX, DuPont, EDF Group, GDF SUEZ, Kansai Electric Power Company, Philips, Skanska, Sonae Sierra, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO).
About the WBCSD

Serenity Magazine
Serenity Magazine is a non-profit magazine and media platform for creatives, that fit in the category of Generation Z, whilst giving so many incredible talents creative freedom through accepting submissions that are poetry, short stories, articles, art, photography, song lyrics, videos, and more. Serenity Magazine actually gave me the opportunity to feature in their first printed issue, Daydream (which has been published and available to order); where I had the chance to talk about my inspirations and how I've progressed as a photographer, whlist embracing my identity.
Ruthless Magazine
Ruthless Magazine "emerged as a direct response to an industry that is failing its young people: our ambition is borne of necessity, not idealism" and has been created and founded by Ruby Bukhari. This piece, 'Brown and Beautiful' is something that I had the chance to submit for the 2020 collaboration between Ruthless Magazine and South Asian Heritage Month (which was an online virtual exhibition). South Asian Heritage Month is a platform that "celebrates and raises the profile of British South Asian history, arts, culture & heritage". This was such an amazing opportunity, as I was not only recognised by a really notable south Asian platform but also had the opportunity to come across other amazing south Asian creatives, through the virtual exhibition. Something that I am also really grateful to have taken part in, as with the multiple lockdowns I didn't think I would be able to get involved in exhibitions.
Stare Magazine
Stare Magazine is "an Independent South Asian Art, Fashion and Culture magazine creating conversations around social issues". I had a wonderful opportunity to feature in their second issue, which is the Generation Issue (something that you are able to buy now), as their "very talented and upcoming first gen Tamilian photographer". Where I had the chance to talk about my South Asian background/ Tamil heritage; something that I explore through the mix of fashion and culture through the lens which has helped define my style of creating. The Generation's Issue "is focused on celebrating young South Asian content creators and discussion generational issues". It's incredible to be apart of yet another amazing magazine, where I am to see my work printed, something that is an phenomenal feeling.
All links to read the articles I have written are in the titles - thank you to all these incredible publications for showcasing my work, seeing them printed and featured has allowed to get my work out there and more whilst giving me the chance to understand my work through writing. Thank you so much for your support.

No, it's not a miracle. Find out what is actually going on in this viral video.
A video that appears to show a newborn baby "walking" moments after its birth is currently breaking the Internet. Since being posted on Facebook on May 26, the 41-second clip has been viewed well over 68 million times. It has been shared over 1.5 million times and has collected over 325,000 (mostly incredulous) reactions. The footage shows a newborn, being supported by a nurse, lifting one foot, and then the other, in movements that mimic walking.
The video was posted on Facebook by Arlete Arantes from Brazil. It's unclear when the video was recorded.
So, what's actually going on in the video?
According to the University of Rochester Medical Center, the "walking" is not so much a miracle but a natural newborn reflex.
Called the "stepping reflex," this reflex is also referred to as the walking or dance reflex because the baby appears to take steps or dance when held upright with his or her feet touching a solid surface. This reflex lasts until the baby is about two-months-old. It helps babies develop and survive.
But that information hasn't deterred the Internet from doing what it does best: make jokes.
"Gotta stretch the legs after a 9 month journey," writes one person on Reddit, where a GIF of the video has been posted.
"That baby's name: Usain Bolt," jokes another.
"That kid is going places," comments a third Redditor.


The Council notes the government's initiative to phase out price control to promote competition in the marketplace. In this regard the Council is pleading with the government to reform the current consumer protection laws and redress mechanism to address anti-competitive behaviour. The Council's market surveillance indicate that price fixing, collusion, cartel type operation is rife in the marketplace. Unless this is addressed the consumers will not benefit and the good intention of the government will not materialise.
Past market trends indicate that whenever government reduced duty or removed VAT to ease financial burden of consumers, the benefits did not reach the public. The Council is concerned that the removal of Price Control might also be abused by some unscrupulous traders who will see this as an opportunity to increase their profits instead of creating healthy competition and lower prices for consumers. For example in 2008, the government removed VAT from locally produced eggs and the Council through its price survey found that despite VAT removal the prices of eggs continued to increase. Hence the consumers did not benefit but the trader gained through increased profits.
What is required first is to strengthen laws and regulations, and capacity building of regulatory institutions for better enforcement before any phasing out price control is considered.
The Council notes that many incentives have been given for businesses. The responsibility is on businesses to return the favour by ensuring that consumers and government do get the desired benefits.

The Bulldog golf team is ready to challenge for another district title under the leadership of Tyler Wilson. Four district titles in a row proved to be pretty sweet for Wilson and his team that included four standout seniors but this year's team wants to make it number five. Those seniors lost to graduation included Kiley Bryan, Avery Evans, Steve Spence, and Aaron Williams.
This year, the Bulldogs will have Ric Gable, Will Johnson, and Tanner Mulder representing the senior class. The junior class will be Henry Knowles, Hunter Mitchell, Tristan Mulder, Ethan Sapp, Dante Sonaglia, and Nick Walker.
Sophomore class is small but ready to make an impression with Corey Akerson and Will Saunders. The freshman class is looking for success from Ben Knowles, Austin Malloy, and John Mitchell.
The Lady Bulldogs will be represented by Jordan Sapp and Annika Beebe.
The Bulldogs will open up August 23 in Holmes County with a 3:30 tee off before returning home to Indians Springs Golf Course on August 25 with a 12 noon tee time.


STATESBORO, Ga. – The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) held a branch of its ITA Summer Circuit at Georgia Southern University this week, with the Georgia College Tennis duo of Nathan Connelly (McDonough) and Cole Heller (Woodstock) taking the men's doubles title.
The Bobcat pairing won one match each day, starting by beating Chang-Shen Chen and Ting-Yu Yen 8-4 in the quarterfinals. Next came an 8-6 victory over Hamza Khan and Ryan Wax to advance to the title match.
There, Heller and Connelly pulled out a hard-fought 8-7 (2) win over Chen En Tsai and Hung Ju Wu to take the doubles title.
The two Bobcats also entered in the singles bracket, with Connelly beating Yen in his opener 6-3, 6-4 before dropping a 7-5, 6-0 bout to Wax.

Q: On the integrals $\int_{-1}^0 \sqrt[2n+1]{x-\sqrt[2n+1]x} \mathrm dx$ Playing with integrals of type,
$$
I(n)=\int_{-1}^0 \sqrt[2n+1]{x-\sqrt[2n+1]x} \mathrm dx,
$$
$$
n \in \mathbb{N}
$$
I got two interesting results for the limiting cases $n=1$ and $n \to \infty$:
$$
\lim_{n \to \infty} I(n) = 1
$$
The second result is perhaps more interesting,
$$
I(1)=\int_{-1}^0 \sqrt[3]{x-\sqrt[3]x} \mathrm dx \approx \frac {\pi}{\sqrt {27}}
$$
The approximation is valid to $12$ places of decimal.
My question is straight, can we prove these results analytically? Any help would be appreciated.

A: For $n \in \mathbb{N}$ we have
\begin{align}
I (n) &= \int \limits_{-1}^0 \left[x - x^{\frac{1}{2n+1}}\right]^{\frac{1}{2n+1}} \mathrm{d} x \stackrel{x = -y}{=} \int \limits_0^1 \left[y^{\frac{1}{2n+1}} - y\right]^{\frac{1}{2n+1}} \mathrm{d} y = \int \limits_0^1 y^{\frac{1}{(2n+1)^2}}\left[1 - y^{\frac{2n}{2n+1}}\right]^{\frac{1}{2n+1}} \mathrm{d} y \\
&\hspace{-10pt}\stackrel{y = t^{\frac{2n+1}{2n}}}{=} \frac{2n+1}{2n} \int \limits_0^1 t^{\frac{n+1}{n (2n+1)}} (1-t)^{\frac{1}{2n+1}} \mathrm{d}t = \frac{2n+1}{2n} \operatorname{B}\left(\frac{n+1}{n(2n+1)}+1,\frac{1}{2n+1} + 1\right) \, .
\end{align}
Using $\Gamma(x+1) = x \Gamma(x)$ we can rewrite this result to find
$$ I (n) = \frac{\operatorname{B} \left(\frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{2n+1}, \frac{1}{2n+1}\right)}{2 (2n+1)} = \frac{1}{2(2n+1)} \frac{\operatorname{\Gamma}\left(\frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{2n+1}\right) \operatorname{\Gamma}\left(\frac{1}{2n+1}\right)}{\operatorname{\Gamma}\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}$$
for $n \in \mathbb{N}$. In particular,
$$ I(1) = \frac{\operatorname{\Gamma}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \operatorname{\Gamma}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}{6} = \frac{\pi}{6 \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)} = \frac{\pi}{3 \sqrt{3}} \,.$$
Moreover, we obtain
$$ \lim_{n \to \infty} I (n) \stackrel{\Gamma(x) \,  \stackrel{x \to 0}{\sim} \, \frac{1}{x}}{=} \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{2(2n+1)} \frac{\frac{n(2n+1)}{n+1} (2n+1)}{n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2n+1}{2(n+1)} = 1 \, .$$

A: Too long for a comment.
After ComplexYetTrivial's answer, we have
$$I_n=\frac{\Gamma \left(\frac{2 (n+1)}{2 n+1}\right) \Gamma \left(\frac{n+1}{n(2
   n+1)}\right)}{2 \Gamma \left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}$$ Expanding as series
$$I_n=1-\frac{1}{2 n}+\frac{12-\pi ^2}{24 n^2}+O\left(\frac{1}{n^3}\right)$$ which is not "too bad" even for $n=1$; this would give $1-\frac{\pi ^2}{24}\approx 0.588766$ while $\frac{\pi}{3 \sqrt{3}}\approx 0.604600$.
For a few values of $n$
$$\left(
\begin{array}{ccc}
n & \text{approximation} & \text{exact} \\
 1 & 0.588766 & 0.604600 \\
 2 & 0.772192 & 0.774848 \\
 3 & 0.843196 & 0.843965 \\
 4 & 0.880548 & 0.880851 \\
 5 & 0.903551 & 0.903695 \\
 6 & 0.919132 & 0.919210 \\
 7 & 0.930383 & 0.930429 \\
 8 & 0.938887 & 0.938916 \\
 9 & 0.945540 & 0.945560
\end{array}
\right)$$

A: I found the solution of your interesting integral by try:
$$\int_{-1}^0 \left(x-x^{\frac{1}{2 n+1}}\right)^{\frac{1}{2 n+1}} \,dx  = \frac{(-1)^{\frac{2 n}{1+2 n}} \left(-1+(-1)^{1+\frac{1}{1+2 n}}\right)^{1+\frac{1}{1+2 n}} (1+2 n)^2 \text{Hypergeometric2F1}\left[1,2+\frac{1}{n},2+\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{1+2n},(-1)^{\frac{2 n}{1+2 n}}\right]}{2 (1+2 n (1+n))}$$
I checked the result for several values, but since I can't get your second result, the numerical solution is complex, I guess you did a mistake in your post! Please check your second result!

A: I am afraid that your calculus is not correct. Unfortunately the calculus for $I(1)$ is not detailed. One cannot say where exactly is the mistake.
I guess that the trouble comes from a transformation such as $x^{\frac{2n}{2n+1}}= ((-x)^{2})^{\frac{n}{2n+1}}$ which is false.  $$ x^{\frac{2n}{2n+1}}\neq ((-x)^{2})^{\frac{n}{2n+1}}$$ for $-1<x<0$ the first term is complex. The second is real.
The integral is not real $\simeq \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{27}}$.
$$I(1)=\int_{-1}^0 \sqrt[3]{x-\sqrt[3]x} \mathrm dx \simeq 0.68575-0.242772\,i$$

This is the only known fragment from a lost picture of Saint Sebastian before Diocletian that Veronese painted for the Church of San Sebastiano in Venice. It is known from an engraving by Cochin, published in Patina op. cit., 1691, and from a number of later copies in the Gallerie Accademia, Venice; the Galleria Nazionale, Parma; the Pinacoteca, Rovigo; and in a private collection in Mantua, among others (see Pignatti, op. cit., 1976, II, figs.157-61). From these full-scale versions we can see that the knight and page, depicted in the fragment, were originally placed just to the right of centre in the canvas, by the feet of the Emperor, who is seated on a raised throne on the right. A preparatory sketch for the figure of the knight, as well as the figure of Saint Sebastian, exists in the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin (no. V.30, see Piacentini, loc. cit., and Pignatti loc. cit, 1966).
The painting originally hung on the North wall of the Church and covered a damaged fresco, also by Veronese. It is suspected that the damp that caused the deterioration in the fresco also ultimately led to the disintegration of the canvas. The last recorded mention of the canvas in situ, is by Zanotto, loc. cit., in 1856.

Minnesota Vikings 2021 Season
San Francisco 49ers 34, Minnesota Vikings 26 : Errors spell doom for Vikings by the Bay

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
The Minnesota Vikings came in short-handed on the defensive line against a San Francisco 49ers team that likes to run the football. That's usually a recipe for disaster, and that's how things played out on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.
Despite having plenty of chances throughout the afternoon, the Vikings wound up falling to the Niners by a score of 34-26 in Week 12 NFL action.
After the Vikings' offense went three-and-out on the opening drive of the game, the Minnesota defense generated a turnover as Harrison Smith intercepted a pass from Jimmy Garoppolo to stop the Niners' first offensive possession.

Minnesota cashed in on the interception, as Kirk Cousins found Adam Thielen for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the San Francisco 2-yard line on the ensuing drive. Greg Joseph hit the extra point, and the Vikings found themselves on top 7-0 midway through the first quarter.

The Niners responded in rapid fashion, as they got a 20-yard touchdown run from Deebo Samuel to even things up at 7-7. The touchdown followed a big conversion on 3rd-and-13 when it looked like the Vikings might be able to get off the field quickly.
Minnesota scored again early on the second quarter, and it was Cousins finding Thielen again, this time on a 20-yard strike to make the score 14-7 just minutes into the quarter.

The Niners evened things up at the end of the second quarter, as the Vikings allowed yet another touchdown in the two-minute drill. This time, it was Garoppolo finding Juwan Jennings for a 3-yard score with just eighteen seconds remaining in the half to even things up at 14-14.
San Francisco then "doubled up," as they scored on the opening possession of the second half. Again, it was Samuel taking the ball into the end zone, going in from three yards out to make the score 21-14 early in the third quarter. Samuel also had the big play on the drive with a 49-yard run to give the Niners a goal-to-go situation.
The Vikings compounded their problems on the next drive, as Cousins threw an awful interception right to Niners' linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, who returned it to the Minnesota 3-yard line. Eli Mitchell scored for the home team on the next play, and suddenly the Vikings found themselves trailing by two scores, 28-14.
To their credit, the Vikings marched down the field with an answer on their next possession, scoring on a 6-yard run from Alexander Mattison to get back to within 28-20. . .because the extra point went wide to the right by Joseph.

The Niners added more to their lead with just under five minutes left in the third quarter, as Robbie Gould banked a 46-yard field goal in off the right upright to make the score 31-20. The Vikings got an immediate answer from rookie Kene Nwangwu, as he took the ensuing kickoff and blasted 99 yards for his second kick return touchdown of the season. Minnesota went for the two-point conversion, and Cousins' pass for Jefferson fell incomplete to leave the score at 31-26.
And just like that, HE IS GONE!!!@NwangwuKene
: @NFLonFOX pic.twitter.com/HJ9mvOz8xg
The Niners extended the lead following a Dalvin Cook fumble on a 22-yard field goal from Robbie Gould. Cook suffered a shoulder injury on the play, but the Vikings limited the damage to keep the San Francisco lead at 34-26 as the third quarter came to an end.
The Vikings positioned themselves to potentially tie midway through the fourth quarter, but Cousins' pass on fourth-and-goal sailed over the head of Justin Jefferson and fell incomplete. The Niners then proceeded to grind out another long drive and looked to have a chance to put it away, but Robbie Gould missed a 42-yard field goal attempt to give the Vikings one more chance.
Minnesota got into San Francisco territory quickly on a long pass to Justin Jefferson to get to the 40-yard line, but Cousins' 4th-down pass for Justin Jefferson fell incomplete on the next set of downs and the game came to an end.
The Vikings fall to 5-6 and will travel to Detroit next week to take on the Lions at Ford Field, while the Niners move to 6-5 and will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks next week on Sunday Night Football.
The Vikings fall in yet another close game, 34-26 to the San Francisco 49ers. Thank you to everyone that got their coverage of today's game right here at The Daily Norseman!

Minnesota Vikings at San Francisco 49ers: Third quarter recap and fourth quarter discussion


The Talking Dog: As we come to a point in time ten years after the opening of Guantanamo Bay for military detentions of persons captured in Afghanistan and elsewhere, is there anything else I should have asked you but didn't, or anything else you believe that the public needs to know about this?
Morris Davis: One thing comes to mind. We chose Guantanamo a decade ago because some people thought that it was outside the reach of law. And now, we have 171 men stuck in a legal Alice in Wonderland. And so we continue to make bad laws, like the NDAA and the "reformed again and again military commissions" -- to continue to try to deal with men we are holding because we took short-cuts and made bad decisions years ago. My hope is that common sense prevails and we can look rationally at the big picture, and we stop trying to make even more bad laws rooted in our prior bad decisions. I hope at some point we remember who we are and what we stand for, we reckon with what we did in the past, and we stop living our lives in fear. I hope we become free and brave again.
The Talking Dog: I join all my readers in thanking Col. Morris Davis for that eye-opening interview.

We took a look at a lot of different cage designs and products in order to bring you the best of the best that's available right now! But before we get started, here are some things you should know.
Material: What is the cage made of? Most of them are made of plastic or wire, or some combination of both. These are the sturdiest materials and also the easiest to clean when the cage gets dirty.
Pieces: This refers to how much stuff comes with the cage. Most of the cages on this list come with extra toys and accessories, as well as food dishes and water bottles. So how much will you have to buy separately?
Levels: How tall is the cage, and how many different levels are there for your hamster to enjoy? Some cages come with more than one platforms that your furry friend can play on, great for hamsters that like that!
Chew Proof: Sometimes the wire or plastic that makes up the sides and roof of a cage will be coated in order to prevent the hamster, mouse, or gerbil from being able to chew their way out of the cage.
Size: It's important to know how big the cage is because you need to know where you're going to set it in your home. A larger cage is going to be harder to clean but may hold more than one.
Type: Most of the cages on our list are either modular cages that can be connected and moved around without incident or tabletop cages that are meant to sit there on your table and keep your pets happy.
Now that you've learned all there is to know about hamster cages, we can get to the hamster cage reviews! These products were hand-selected from scores of similar products because they all have something special or unique. Our top pick and budget pick are obviously our best choices, but the rest of the list is full of amazing cages as well! Take your time to make a choice, because your furry friend deserves it.
The best hamster cage for sale that we could find is this Ferplast option. It's a modular cage, which means that it's meant to be attached to other toys and habitats.

You won't have to purchase any extra accessories because for this low price you get a food dish, litter guard, water bottle, exercise wheel, and a deck with a ladder for your small furry friend. It also just looks cool, instead of being a plain wire cage – it's all in white and orange, which is a nice touch especially for younger pet owners. It's also an easy clean hamster cage, as you can take every part of it apart to clean it as quickly as you need to, without too much hassle. All of the accessories, including the wheel, will keep your hamster healthy and entertained. And the water bottle that comes with the cage is chew-proof as well, with a stainless steel tip! Using lock connectors from the company, you can even connect it to other habitats and play areas!
This habitat by IRIS is actually one of the best dwarf hamster cages on our list. It's a little on the smaller side, but that just means that your dwarf hamsters will think it's cozy! There are three levels to this cage, and your pet can climb up to them via the small ladders that allow them to explore their world. This cage conveniently comes with a water bottle that it's chew-proof, a food dish, and a wheel that your hamster will love to exercise on. It's a great cage for a younger pet owner, or perhaps one that is just starting out with hamsters or other small mammals. Just fill the bottom level with litter shavings and your small pet will be comfortable and happy! It also comes in a few different colors, so you can customize your space. The sides are wire to promote breathability and comfort in your pets' new favorite home.
This extra-large hamster cage by Kaytee is colorful and perfect for your furry friends! This habitat is the starting point for a whole world of hamster fun because you can connect it to both other habitats and play areas to allow your pets to roam, socialize, and stretch their legs. There are so many tunnels and spaces that you can connect together, your pet is sure to love it! It comes with a food dish, water bottle with chew-proof tip, and an exercise wheel, as well as a petting zone platform where you can interact with your hamster without taking it out of the cage. There are two levels of space here, and it's large enough that your critters are going to feel right at home and happy! Compared to the other cages that we looked at, it's also a tall hamster cage. You can use it for gerbils or mice as well; they'll love it too!
Rosewood Pet makes this cute home, a nice but cheap hamster cage that will delight your pet. There are an incredible four different levels of platforms and ramps for them to play on. They're going to get plenty of exercise running around all the space that they have. It's made of high-quality wire with plastic pieces, and the bars are spaced just far enough apart that your hamster can't squeeze out between the bars. What we liked most about this cage, other than the bright colors of the accessories, is the fact that the bed at the top of the cage has a compartment that opens up right into it, so you can always get your hamster out if they are hiding in their nest. This is super useful when it's time to clean the cage, especially if you have a pet that likes to burrow. There are also different color options for you to choose from!
This giant hamster cage by YML is a blast from the past. It's the type of cage you first think of when you imagine your hamster living in one of those big cages with all of the colorful accessories and toys! The bottom can be either green or pink, but it's translucent so you can see where your furry friend is hiding when it's cage cleaning time. There's an exercise ball inside the cage that they're going to love, as well as a house for them to next in, tubes for them to run around in, and a wheel. Your hamster will be properly stimulated with this set, and you won't have to buy any extra accessories. Everything you need is here, except food, bedding, and of course your hamster. The wires are spaced close enough together that they won't be able to squeeze out between them and get themselves into trouble. We love this cage!
This hamster tank cage is unique on our list because it fits over a glass tank in order to give your hamsters breathing room and new heights to explore. Simply place this wire structure of the glass hamster cage you already have and connect a ramp to the first level, and your furry friend will have so much more room to explore and exercise. The wire is coated so it's chew proof, and all of the plastic parts on the interior of the tank are stain-resistant. It works as a topper for any ten-gallon tank that you're already using for your small pets, including gerbils and mice as well. The bars are spaced at half-inch intervals so it's easy for your pets to climb without being able to get out. We love the tank-topping design and the idea that it will double the living space your pets have. It's a great alternative to buy a whole new habitat!
This cute pink habitat is one of the best hamster cages on our list, mostly for its inclusion of wooden toys as accessories. This cage includes a wooden platform with a great nesting house, as well as a wooden swing toy that your curious hamster is sure to love! There are a ladder and strings to chew on, as well as the traditional hamster wheel to enjoy. Your pet is going to be so entertained they won't ever want to come out of this cage! The base is plastic for easy cleaning, and it's a great cage for dwarf hamsters, mice, or gerbils as well as regular hamsters. You can get this set in blue or pink depending on your preference. There is a door in front and a door on the top of the cage for easy access to your hamster as well as a handle for easy carrying if you need to do that.
This huge cage by GNB certainly looks like the best hamster cage ever! It's full of tunnels and slides so that your hamster will have the time of its life. It's a huge habit with plenty of extra parts and levels to keep you creating and your hamster entertained. It's a small pet paradise! The tubes and tunnels are made of non-toxic plastic that won't harm your pets at all. We love how big this place is, and how big you can make it with additional tubes and habitats. Make your small furry pets an entire world of their own to play in if you want! It's easy to assemble and fun, while also providing everything your hamster needs. The wires are chew-proof so that your pets can't chew their way out of the cage and get themselves hurt in other parts of your house. It's fun for both of you and will last a long time!
This three-story hamster cage is pretty amazing. It can come in four different colors, including two shades of blue, yellow, and pink. It comes with an exercise wheel, two removable platforms and two ladders that your hamsters can use to get up to them. There's also a cozy little nesting house for your furry friends to sleep in. The cage has a door on the roof to help you get your pets out to clean the cage. It cleans quickly because the bottom of the cage is a grill. All the waste and others fall into the pull-out tray and then you only need to clean the tray out. We love that system, which makes it so much easier to maintain the habitat for your pets. You can easily access all levels of the cage fairly easily. It's 22 inches high, perfect for all of your furry friends. We love all the accessories that come with this cage!

Q: When can I get Kormac's conversations for the For the Order achievement? The achievement says to "Listen to all of the Templar's conversations."
Most of his conversations seem to be available up until the end, but there are a few that are missable so I would like to know when Kormac's conversations first become available and if and when they become unavailable.

A: As all the followers appear before you after you defeat the final boss, almost all of their conversations are available until the end of the game, but there are a few that can be missed so I'll mark those with a +. Many of the conversations will unlock only after having heard other previous conversations, but will not become available until the point specified. Also, some of the follower conversations may be hidden if they are not following you, but by having them follow you, you can get a complete list (without the extras).
Act I

*

*Becoming a Templar: Available after accepting the quest The Fallen Star by starting Act I until the end of the game.

*Sins: Available after accepting the quest The Broken Blade until the end of the game.

*Initiation: Available after accepting the quest Trailing the Coven until the end of the game.

*Lessons: Available after accepting the quest The Imprisoned Angel until the end of the game.

Act II

*

*Seeking the Truth: Available from when you are given the objective Go through the Sundered Canyon during the quest Shadows in the Desert until the end of the game.

*A Dangerous Journal: Available after accepting the quest The Road to Alcarnus until the end of the game.

*Confronting Fears: Available after accepting the quest A Royal Audience until the end of the game.

*The Past Revealed: Available after accepting the quest The Black Soulstone until the end of the game.

Act III

*

*The Torn Page: Available after accepting the quest The Siege of Bastion's Keep until the end of the game.

*The Templar's Research: Available after accepting the quest Turning the Tide until the end of the game.

*+ The Truth: Available after accepting the quest The Breached Keep until you complete the quest The Breached Keep.

*Secrets of the Tome: Available after accepting the quest Machines of War until the end of the game.

Act IV

*

*A Templar's Lesson's: Available after accepting the quest Fall of the High Heavens until the end of the game.

*+ Adria's Betrayal: Available after accepting the quest Fall of the High Heavens until you accept the quest The Light of Hope.

*Shadows of the Coven: Available after accepting the quest Fall of the High Heavens until the end of the game.

Extras
These don't count toward the achievement

*

*A Hero's Honor: Available from when you are given the objective Talk to Auriel and bring your quest to an end during the quest Prime Evil until the end of the game.

*Diablo Vanquished: Available from when you are given the objective Talk to Auriel and bring your quest to an end during the quest Prime Evil until the end of the game.

*Fallen Comrades: Available from when you are given the objective Talk to Auriel and bring your quest to an end during the quest Prime Evil until the end of the game.

A: Just as you start act 5, as long as you have Kormac as your follower, it will come up. Do not assist Lorath yet, as you will still get act 4 conversations as well,  for just in case yoummissed any. I am personally still not getting Templar's Lesson

Website Ad CTR Seen Higher For Search-Referred Traffic
Digital | Paid Search | Search Engine Optimization
Website traffic that is referred by search engines tends to have a higher ad click-through rate than traffic that comes from other sources, according to a study from Chitika. Examining "tens of millions" of online ad impressions in the US and Canada from October 1-10, Chitika found that traffic from Ask.com, Bing, Yahoo! and Google all displayed a higher CTR on average than traffic from within the site or direct traffic.
Among the search engines measured, traffic from Ask.com displayed the highest click-through rate, although that traffic represented just 2% of the search engine traffic tracked. Using Ask.com as the index benchmark, Chitika shows that Bing and Yahoo! traffic each had a substantially lower CTR (28% of the index rate), with Google further behind (17%). Traffic from outside sites (14%) and within the site (11%) each had a higher CTR than direct traffic (6%).
The study authors caution that there are other variables that affect CTR that are not accounted for in these results, such as CTR differences between Windows desktop and Mac OS X users, as well as between new and returning site users. But the data does suggest that search engine traffic "should be considered when developing retargeting spending plans and advertising strategies as a whole."

^ Luminous Blue Variable in external galaxy NGC 2363, that appears to be undergoing a "great outburst" like eta Carinae but less luminous.
^ Recently identified as a binary system, or possibly three stars. The secondary is also luminous at around 1,000,000 times the sun, but almost completely swamped by the primary.
^ Suspected as binary from extreme X-ray luminosity and variable radial velocity.
^ Binary system containing two luminous WNh stars.
^ Luminous Blue Variable, peak luminosity shown.
^ This is a known binary with two fairly similar components, but the exact details of each star are not clear. Although the luminosity of the two combined is around 2,500,000, the primary is most likely nearer 1,500,000 and the secondary about 1,000,000.

https://accessreel.com/app/uploads/2022/11/Interview-John-Leguizamo-Violent-Night.mp3
Accessreel: Hey John, how are you?
John: Alright, great, thank you. Nice to talk to you.
Accessreel: I've been a massive fan of yours since going back to, well, Romeo and Juliet was probably the first time I saw you jump out on the screen, and a performance where you stole every scene you were in it's funny 'cause I always thought that your screen time in that film was rather lengthy. But when you put it all together it's really not.
John: No it's not. Yeah yeah, it's really short.
Accessreel: But we'll talk about Romeo and Juliet in a little bit. So thanks for chatting to us today. I watched the film the other night. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the fact that it was played really straight, It really worked well and so the one liners work. The action worked, everything worked and it was corny and bits but it worked well, so how was it? Getting involved in this flick and when you got the script did you go? Yeah, this looks like. A bit of fun.
John: Yeah, when I read this script I thought it was outstanding. Man, I was like wow, I have never seen anything like this. This is like an anti Christmas movie in a Christmas movie you know. I mean for people who hate Christmas, they're going to like this for people who love Christmas, they'll like it. Even more I couldn't believe what they were trying to put out there with such so much violence. It was hilarious. I was laughing out loud. It was a page turner and then at the end in the script, I wasn't as moved by when I saw the movie I choked up, I couldn't believe that they got me that I was suckered into feeling stuff and I was like what am I feeling. I think Tommy Wirkola did a brilliant job. Seriously weaving those three ingredients that you never see together and that don't usually are usually not written together.
Accessreel: Exactly and you watch the trailer and you're like, yeah, this looks like a lot of fun. But then you watch the film and it's still a lot of fun, but it's just a very different film to what the trailer sort of sold me and I like that plus David plays a bloody good Santa
John: Oh, he's incredible. He's in quite amazing.
Accessreel: What was it like working with the cast and David?
John: Oh Dave is a pleasure to work with man we had a great time off camera and on camera he just brings it with such a bandwidth of talent but I mean he's got such a depth, he brings so much rage and patho's, pain and he makes this sort of antihero really come to life. You really believe Oh my God, he's channeling some kind of ancient Santa Claus something because I really started to believe this is the best Santa I've ever seen.
Accessreel: Yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it! There's some great one liners in the film was it all scripted or did you get to throw your flair in it at.
John: It's a combination, that's why it's so amazing because the script was really funny and great, but we were also allowed to improvise a lot and I threw in a lot of zingers and then I'm glad they kept a lot of them. You know, I was very happy to see at the end of the day that my improvs were not for not.
Accessreel: That's good and how was the film to shoot overall? Because obviously watching it looks like it was pretty damn cold were you actually at a location or was it set? Or or mix of both?
John: I mean Tommy Wirkola, who's from Norway from Lapland. I mean, he loved it, but the rest of us who are from just from New York, especially my California friends, it was it was rough man it was minus 35 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't know what that's in Celsius, but whatever it is, it's bone chilling, you know and we're shooting at night exteriors and that wind would come and kick it would hurt it hurt, really hurt like you had to run inside when you were done and sometimes I go yo I can't. I can't do another take, I really I really gotta warm up like 'cause, you know, somebody almost got uh. Frostbite no well.
Accessreel: OK. Well, definitely cold then uhm.
John: Oh yeah, no is real and Tommy liked that. He said it added reality and tension to the movie. I was. Like fuck you.
Accessreel: That's it, torment the actors to get the performance (ha!) looking back on your career you've done some incredible roles. Is there one role that stands out for you like one that you had the best time on?
John: Yeah, I gotta say Summer of Sam, Spike Lee was a highlight of my career so far. Hopefully I'll have a few more highlights but that was definitely the highlight of my career. I mean, we went to Cannes with that movie. The critical acclaim was beautiful. I mean working with Mira Sorvino at the topof her game Adrian Brody, I mean, Spike Lee is a actors director and he really let us go, pushed us, encouraged us and and we ad libbed a lot in that one too. The script was written by Michael Imperioli.
Accessreel: You spent about 8 months of your career shooting Moulin Rouge in Australia back in the day. What's one thing that pops into your head when you think about that shoot?
John: The incredible talent that is in Australia. That's what really was mind-blowing was I couldn't believe how super talented all these actors were in dancers, performers, singers. There was so much great great talent, artist designers, costumers. I mean the talent down there is exceptional.
John: You've worked with incredible talent throughout your career. You've worked with some of the biggest actors ever. Is there a director or an? Actor? that you haven't worked with, but you're still dying to work for.
John: I would love to work with Scorsese, who's a master Yeah, I love to work with him, the Farrelly brothers I think are incredible.I would love to work with them. I love the Safdie brothers, they're from Queens where I grew up I love uncut gems. I thought it was amazing. Uh, yeah, they. Then actors. I mean I'd love to work with, uh. Mark Ruffalo, I think, is one of the most brilliant actors. Of our time. Uh, Ryan Gosling, I think he's incredible.
Accessreel: In your career, you've also done pretty much everything you've done producing writing everything. Is there anything that you haven't done yet that you're interested? Whether it's in the film or television industry, or whether? It's outside of that what are you interested in doing in your future?
John: I mean, there's a lot of different things still want to keep directing… I want to do a lot more historic pieces about our Latin contributions to the world about our empires that were destroyed in the conquest and all the contributions to the to the making of the United States. Because you know, 500,000 of us fought in World War Two with incredible heroes within amazing things that you never see in a movie. And that's a huge contribution. 120,000 of us fought in World War One with a lot with Latin heroes who won purple crosses. I want to celebrate a lot of that and also you know, maybe run a studio. I mean I like to maybe create my own studio and cash in on the on the huge amount of money that latino people are bringing you know with that women are the number one small business creators in America we are we add $2.8 trillion to U.S. economy. Your own economy would be the 5th largest economy in the world. And that's just in the US, so you know, we have a lot of buying power here. We finally in this election had so many Latin elected officials. Finally, you know we're getting our representation in politics. Obviously in baseball we crush in music where the biggest success story in the World, Bad Bunny number one before that was so yeah. I mean, I'm. I'm hoping that the studio system here catches up with the rest of the world.

Mistrzostwa świata w kolarstwie BMX są organizowane przez Międzynarodową Unię Kolarską od 1996 roku i są rozgrywane corocznie w kilku konkurencjach.

Imprezy mistrzowskie w kolarstwie BMX były organizowane już od 1982 roku, jednak dopiero w 1996 roku ich organizację przejęła UCI. Pierwsze oficjalne mistrzostwa zorganizowano w brytyjskim Brighton, gdzie zawodnicy rywalizowali w sześciu konkurencjach: wyścigu juniorów, zawodowców (oba zarówno dla kobiet jak i mężczyzn) oraz Cruiser juniorów i zawodowców (tylko mężczyźni). Cruiser zarzucono w 2010 roku. Obecnie program mistrzostw składa się z czterech wyścigów dla kobiet i mężczyzn: junior, zawodowcy, jazda na czas juniorów oraz jazda na czas zawodowców.

Każdy zawodnik z tytułem mistrza świata otrzymuje tęczową koszulkę, na której widnieją różnokolorowe paski. Przez następny rok mistrz ma prawo zakładać taką koszulkę podczas swoich startów w zawodach. Po upływie roku może używać tych kolorów nadal jako detal (np. na kołnierzyku lub rękawku koszulki). Kolory te mają zastosowanie we wszystkich dyscyplinach kolarskich.

Whit Stillman Talks About Taking Liberties With Jane Austen's World In 'Love & Friendship'
Whit Stillman is in the middle of a busy decade. For fans of the comedies of manners that made him famous in the 1990s, this is both much appreciated and surprising. Stillman made his feature film debut at the age of 38 with 1990's Metropolitan, a story of young (mostly) moneyed, New Yorkers drifting through the parties, debutante balls, and missed connections of one winter holiday season. The film became an arthouse hit and earned Stillman an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. He followed it with the likeminded Barcelona in 1994 and The Last Days of Disco in 1998. Then came a long silence broken occasionally by rumors new films that never seemed to go anywhere.
Then, just as quickly as he went away, Stillman came back, first with the divisive (but delightful) comedy Damsels in Distress, starring Greta Gerwig, then with The Cosmopolitans, a 2014 pilot for an Amazon-backed pilot that might still advance to the series stage. (Stillman's still working on scripts for it.) Now there's Love & Friendship, an adaptation of Jane Austen's early novella Lady Susan that reunites him with his Last Days of Disco stars Kate Beckinsale (who plays the charmingly selfish Lady Susan) and Chloe Sevigny (who also worked with Stillman on The Cosmopolitans). Over soup in a Chicago hotel room, Stillman talked to us about Austen, how the film came together, and his thwarted hopes of making a movie with Will Ferrell.
I'm just happy to start an interview without asking why it took you so long to make another movie this time. This came together pretty quickly. Did it come out of working with Amazon before?
No, there's no relation between the two. Oddly, I was actually talking to them, asking, "Who are you going to hire for your film division? Who are you going to get?" They got these great people in the film division. I wanted them to put some money in, but they hadn't set up their film division and the script I sent them just lay there. So we did this completely without Amazon. They'd been very helpful. They gave me the Cosmopolitans gig and it's good to be in the business doing casting for different things. For instance, Emma Greenwell was so good, I think, as [Love & Friendship's] Catherine Vernon — so pretty and nice. She actually came in to audition for Cosmopolitans to play an American girl, and so I met her, she's plays American very well, but she wasn't quite right for that part in Cosmopolitans. But I saw her and said, "We have the same casting people so can you have her read for Catherine Vernon." She read for Catherine Vernon and we really, really liked her. Chloe was in Cosmopolitans, too.
Your first three films kind of fit together nicely, there's even a nice box set out now.
And they're linked through Disco. There's a slight link. The story, I mean, it is a slight trilogy. When we were doing Disco we inserted the characters from Metropolitan or Barcelona into Disco.
You're now two films into what could become a second trilogy. Do they fit together at all, your current work.
I think they do. I think that the common thread is stylization. I had the idea that I'd make three features now that are stylized. They're not totally naturalistic. I mean this is more naturalistic than Damsels, and people seem to be accepting the stylization better. I don't quite understand all the anger and hostility against Damsels.
Was it really anger and hostility?
I like that movie.
The good people like it. I think that defensive film makers, when they're defending their film that's getting knocks, they say that, "Oh people aren't perceptive enough to see something," or, "They don't have the sense of humor to appreciate a comedy." I don't know, for me, this is even more severe. I see Damsels as a character test. I think only good people like Damsels. Bad people don't like Damsels. That's theological, that's my theology.
I think that view of the world is there in your films, too. Questions of morality are at the center of a lot of your movies.
I don't understand people hating the Greta Gerwig character in Damsels, I don't get that.
