In the gold panel at NJcon with Jensen and JDM around the 19 min mark, they talk about how they choose which projects to accept or reject. Jensen talks about having a team (agents, managers, wife) that really help determine which projects to accept. Jensen reveals that his team wanted him to pass on Big Sky and that he was the one that urged them to make the deal, that he gets stir crazy from not working and would rather take on roles that seem like a good fit and keeps him busy. His team felt like Big Sky wasn’t big enough and they wanted him to wait to do something more grand coming off The Boys and Soldier Boy role.

His story reminded me of your experience as a casting assistant. Your comments on actors or their managers that wait for leading roles and often actors miss out on opportunities.

Made me think that maybe Jensen or his team may be passing on ensemble projects, holding out for bigger tv roles or smaller/key roles in big movies. His current and eminent future plate seems pretty empty, waiting on his role in an undefined Amazon project.

What do you think?

Link. At the 21 minute mark he talks about getting pushback from his team over Big Sky. This is a depressingly familiar story. For newbies, I've talked about my experience watching actors' teams sabotaging their client's careers in real time here, and here I mentioned that Jensen's team may be pushing him to "go lead".

The cliffnote version is back when I worked at casting, agents or managers were always calling me to tell me that their client are "going lead" so they will no longer be playing second bananas supporting characters. I've tried to explain to them that they're costing their clients visibility and heat that could help them transition into lead roles by not letting them audition at lower tier roles. It's pretty heart breaking when actors called me asking why I stopped bringing them on to the shows and films my company were casting and I had to tell them that it's their agents or managers who weren't pitching them for my company's projects anymore. They're understandably gutted and it was hard listening to their reactions.

At least Jensen seems to have a better realistic attitude than his team, who may have brought into The Boys hype, though I can't totally blame them since it is a popular show, it's just not a cultural impactful show. Almost every actor knows they should accept gigs when they can get them, even the great mega super star Tom Cruise took occasional supporting roles in between big block buster projects.

Sandra Oh went from supporting actor on Greys Anatomy (10 million viewers) to lead actor of Killing Eve ( 1.15 million viewers) and she received ton more respect and attention as the lead actor.   But it took 4 years after leaving GA for Sandra to get offered a lead role. During those 4 years Sandra took supporting 4-6 episode gigs, voice work in three children series, starred in a web series, and starred in an indie (low budget) comedy movie.

Innovative design choices can have a massive impact in the theatre of war, so it is important to understand the principles behind their development. Recent use of low-cost cardboard drones by Ukraine, supplied by Australia, to attack targets in Russia is a good example of how this can work.

Australia has been supplying Ukraine with 100 of the drones per month from March this year as part of an aid package deal worth an estimated £15.7 million, following an agreement struck in July 2021, according to the Australian Army Defence Innovation Hub.

Emerging technologies tend to override current technologies, and in turn, this generates competitive counter-technologies. This circular relationship driven by innovation is often critical in warfare as it can provide key technological advances.

Drone technology was originally developed for military use. It was then seen to offer opportunities in the civilian sphere for logistics, delivery and disaster relief. This then in turn has offered new innovations that can translate to military applications.

Conflicts in the future will be particularly shaped by drones, which will have implications for international relations, security and defence.

The Australian firm Sypaq, an engineering and solutions company founded in 1992, created the Corvo Precision Payload Delivery System (PPDS) for use in military, law enforcement, border security and emergency services, as well as food security, asset inspection and search and rescue.

Ukrainian forces reportedly used the PDDS cardboard drones in an attack on an airfield in Kursk Oblast in western Russia on August 27. The attack damaged a Mig-29 and four Su-30 fighter jets, two Pantsir anti-aircraft missile launchers, gun systems, and an S-300 air surface-to-air missile defence system.

Design principles

The design principles behind the success of the drones revolve around several factors including the production cost, airframe material, weight, payload, range, deployment and ease of use. Other considerations include the reliability of the operating software and the ability to fly the drone in various weather conditions. Seven Network news report on SYPAQ’s cardboad drones.

Generally, small drones offer high-resolution imagery for reconnaissance in a rapidly changing theatre of war. The Corvo drone has a high-resolution camera that provides images covering a large area, transmitting footage back to its user in real time.

The importance of real-time mapping is critical in modern agile armed forces’ command and control as this can direct ground forces, heavy weapons and artillery.

In some cases, the design of small drones is concentrated on adapting the payloads to carry different types of munitions, as seen in the attack in Kursk.

The cardboard drones can carry 5kg of weight, have a wingspan of two metres and a range of 120km at a reported cost of US$3,500 (£2,750). Waxed cardboard is an ideal material as it offers weather resistance, flat-pack transportation (measuring 510mm by 760mm) and, importantly, a lightweight airframe, which enables a longer flight range and a high cruise speed of 60km/h.

Fixed-wing drones also offer longer ranges than rotor-based drones as the wings generate the lift and the airframe has less drag, so they are more energy efficient. They can also fly at higher altitudes. The drones can be launched from a simple catapult or by hand and so can be rapidly deployed.

Low-tech material, hi-tech thinking

Radar involves the transmission of electromagnetic waves, and these are reflected off any object back to a receiving antenna. Cardboard is generally harder to detect by radar – but its components, such as the battery, can be detected.

But the Corvo drone is likely to have a small signature. Radar-absorbing materials are needed to have full stealth properties. These polymers have various absorbing qualities to avoid radar detection.

Another design principle is the swarming capability of the drone. Swarms of drones can overpower air defence systems through sheer volume and or can be used as decoys in counterintelligence operations.

Swarms are highly reliant on the development of artificial intelligence, which is still an embryonic research area. But a recent drone race at ETH University in Zurich, in which AI-piloted drone beat drones controlled by world-champion drone racers, highlighted this potential.

All of these design principles and innovations have and are continuing to transform warfare and theatre operations. It is likely that small drones at low cost are likely to have further mission success in the future.

Greece closer to the agreement to buy F-35 fighters

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 06/03/2023 - 11:55am Military

U.S. Senator Jim Risch, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, approved the sale of Lockheed Martin Corp's F-35 fighters to Greece, adding the last signature needed before the deal is concluded.

The agreement received the green light from the committee's chairman, U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, in February, and also secured the approval of Republican Co-President Michael McCaul and Gregory Meeks, the most senior Democrat on the committee, the Hellas Journal reported on Thursday.

Now that the consensus of all four officials has been obtained, the U.S. government will formally notify Congress on the sale of F-35 to Greece and, from then on, the procedure prescribed for the ratification of the defense contract will be followed.

The issue of the sale of F-35 jets to Greece is moving forward with the delivery of the first aircraft between 2028 and 2033, although a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) is still expected on the US side.

The first installment for the supply of fifth generation F-35 fighters should amount to 350 million euros, after the completion of the deduction of the so-called SSI (safety, supply, information) from the final price of aircraft designed in the US.

Cost estimates can be relatively accurate based on fixed characteristics, such as the number of a total of 20 F-35As that the Hellenic Air Force will receive between 2028 and 2033. The Hellenic Air Force wants a fleet of 40 F-35 Block 4s.

??????? The procedure followed for the approval of defense contracts involves the U.S. State Department first informally probing Congress with the sale proposal. Although not linked to the process, the government usually takes the opinion of Congress seriously and thus avoids confronting it openly in the approval of defense contracts. It is precisely at this stage that the F-16 update that Turkey has been trying to achieve up to this point has stagnated.

Turkey, Greece's rival and NATO member, has not yet received the approval to buy new F-16 fighters, the aircraft it was looking for after the U.S. refused its F-35 proposal to buy S-400 missile systems from Russia.

Bahamas 2023. Pre departure. We leave March 5 to the Bahamas

Lots of work before we go play in the Bahamas. In January we took the boat 10 miles north to a marina in Key Largo. The primary goal was to replace a Dripless Shaft Seal as preventive maintenance. This can only be done out of the water. The bottom paint was holding up pretty well. But now was the time to go ahead and redo the bottom paint. Previous paint was an ablative paint colored black. We used the same brand of ablative paint but changed the color to blue this time. Changing color helps you tell how far you might be sanding or how much paint has been scrubbed off over the years.

Nancy cleaned and waxed the hull once the bottom paint was done.

Due to tides we spent two nights at anchor waiting to get into the marina. I used this time to periodically spray PB Blaster on the rusty bolts holding the prop shaft to the transmission.

Here I have decoupled the prop shaft in preparation of removing the old Dripless shaft seal.

Nancy shines up the prop.

The boat has a new bottom paint and is shined and ready to splash.

We spent two nights on the anchor. Yoga on the foredeck in the morning.

The big addition this year for cruising the Bahamas is a water maker. We bought a Schenker 30 Zen water maker. It should make 30 liters an hour, or 7.9 gallons an hour. We were very frugal with our water usage last year. But our hygiene suffered, and the boat would not get salt washed off unless it rained. It was getting pretty crusty. You will never get a watermaker to be cost effective. But it will allow you to cruise in places where water is not available. Getting older this will save some wear and tear on us. “Jugging water” is strenuous and can be dangerous during the transfer from dinghy to boat.

Checking the dinghy engine which has not been run since last year in the Bahamas. It does run but is rough. Changed spark plugs but that did not fix the issue. Next thing to check is the carburetor. Starting with the easiest and least invasive, then digging deeper. After tearing down the carburetor multiple times and putting it back together before testing. I got it down to 20 minutes start to finish. It seems to be working but until we use it for a day locally, I will not have any confidence in it.

I needed professional help getting the electrical lines run for the watermaker. My mechanic Marcel finished that up Sunday February 26. By that evening I had lowered the actual watermaker down the hatch and laid it in place. Very little remains to be done now. Until we test run the watermaker and check for leaks the boat is completely in disarray. To access the bilge area for the intake and waterpump the aft cabin mattress has to be pulled out into the main cabin. Once we pressure test the watermaker and put the mattresses back, then we can start doing the final provisioning of the boat.

The Schenke Zen 30 is bolted down and pressure test on March 1. Now we can put the mattresses back into the aft cabin. Which allows us to start moving around the cabin and putting in all the provisions.

Nancy is drinking the out put from the watermaker. Our little multimeter tester shows great water. Nancy does the ultimate taste test, and the lagoon water passes the test. Absolutely amazing that we can turn yucky harbor saltwater into fresh drinking water.

While we are getting ready to leave March 4 (Saturday), Nancy’s relatives are dealing with a blizzard in Fargo N.D.. This time of year we are in the middle of “Spring Low tides”, we could not leave if we wanted too since the channel depth is so low.

A local friend and his wife, left a few days earlier in their Catamaran but a navigation component failed. So they had their replacement AIS shipped to our house on Wednesday. We will try and meet up with them south of Georgetown Exuma a week or so after we leave.

Saturday morning at daybreak on the 4 th, we navigated out the channel at our house. Very leisurely sail 5 miles at 3 kts. where we anchored on the back side of Tavernier Key.

While at anchor I set the “Jack lines” in place. Our Jack line is a web belt 3/4” wide rated to 4,200 breaking strength. It runs from the very back of the boat to the very front of the boat down both sides. If we have to go on deck ANY time when it is dark while underway. We tether ourselves to the boat. If we are underway and seas are rough we will also tether ourselves, via the jack lines to the boat. Nancy has an Inflatable Life Jacket and a Kong tether. Since I will be the one to handle any problems on deck. I wear a foam life Jacket that served me will in Water Tribe events. It has 2 knifes, flares, signal mirror, VHF radio, whistle, multiple lights, strobe and a Personal Locator Beacon. I wear a Kong tether and a sailing harness under the life jacket. If sailing at night we both tether into short jacklines that I installed in the cockpit.

Alarm is set for 0400, we will depart the anchorage and head perpendicular to the reef. Hopefully avoiding all of the lobster trap buoys and lines. Once we hit 250’ depth we will be clear of all traps. Then we will head for South Riding Rock. So about 70 miles across the Gulf Stream on a rumb line of 078 degrees. It would be nice cross on to the Bahama Bank during daylight but not mandatory.

Seas are predicted to be 1 foot with a 10 sec. period between them. Which makes for a calm crossing but not great for sailing. I assume we will motorsail the majority of the way. Another 56 miles puts us at the mouth of North West Channel. Great place to anchor Monday night. Then a quick 20 mile run to Morgan Wells, Andros Island Tuesday.

After clearing customs we will work on getting a Wi-Fi hot spot device and can then pick up internet. Till then don’t expect to get any updates until Wednesday at the earliest.

SV Sea Breeze, Tavernier Key, Florida Keys.

Florida woman has traveled to 55 countries, says cruise ship vacations are the way to go

Going on a cruise for your next vacation might be the way to go, according to a passionate traveler. Leslie Diaz is a 25-year-old from Miami, Florida, who’s been going on cruise ships since she was just four years old. She told Fox News Digital that her parents immigrated to the United States from Cuba in 1995 and their preferred way of travel was to go on cruise trips.MAN TRAVELS THE WORLD ON A CRUISE SHIP FOR FREE AFTER QUITTING HIS DAY JOB: ‘HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH’”They always dreamed of traveling the world when they were in Cuba, so cruising was an easy way to get to go to different places in a short amount of time,” she said. Today, Diaz’s love of cruise ships has allowed her to become a full-time food and travel content creator. “Since I started my food and travel page five years ago, it’s opened doors for me to cruise and travel even more and share with my audience my passion for cruising and why everyone should give it a shot at least once,” she added. CONSIDERING A CRUISE? HIGH SEAS MAY BE THE RIGHT OPTION FOR BOTH FAMILY AND WALLETDiaz said her favorite part of cruising is “how easy and relaxing it is,” as she lives in a popular cruise port city. She said, “Most cruises depart from Miami, so for me, it’s a quick drive to the port, a passport check-in while they take your luggage and that’s it … I’m on vacation.”The world traveler has been to 55 countries in her 25 years of life and told Fox News Digital that cruising is the easiest and most convenient way to see many places in a short amount of time. “I also love traditional travel, [but] there’s just a lot more logistics involved, and it can be a bit more stressful at times,” she said. “There are more flights, car rides, train rides, hotel check-ins, luggage, etc.”6 CRUISE SAFETY TIPS TO KEEP YOU PROTECTED AND AT EASE DURING YOUR VACATION AT SEAAlthough she loves cruise ships, she also noted that they can be a very subjective and personal choice for travelers. “Most people either love them or hate them [and] it really depends on what type of traveler you are,” she said. Diaz said she’ll often choose a cruise trip over a traditional travel trip because cruises can be “relaxing and low-key or very active and thrilling.”For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews/lifestyleShe continued, “There are cruises that are very family-friendly, like Royal Caribbean, that have amenities for all ages, while there is an adult-only cruise line called Virgin Voyages — where adults can get away from the kids for a while. It offers a completely different experience.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERAs for the financial difference between going on a cruise or taking part in traditional travel arrangements including lodging and other accommodations, Diaz said the price of cruising can be much more cost-effective. “The price of a cruise [depends] on many factors like the cruise line, cabin, season, itinerary, etc.,” she said.”It can be as low as $600 for a whole week or as high as $1,500.”She continued, “Therefore, I would say it’s pretty acceptable for most people if you do your research on the best cruises suitable for your budget and make your booking at least several months in advance for a better deal.”

Imagine cruising in a stylish sedan while keeping your monthly payments low—like $79! That's right; affordable options are out there, ready to put you behind the wheel of one of America's favorite cars. Whether you're commuting to work or embarking on weekend adventures, leasing a Toyota Corolla offers convenience and peace of mind. Let's dive into everything you need to know about snagging those cheap Toyota Corolla lease $79 deals and making your driving dreams come true.

Key Takeaways

Cheap Toyota Corolla lease deals under $79 exist but are often limited and require careful research.

Factors influencing lease prices include trim, mileage, down payment, money factor, regional incentives, and time of year.

Leasing offers benefits like lower monthly payments and driving a new car frequently, but buying provides ownership and customization.

Research dealerships, compare offers, understand lease terms, and maintain your vehicle to get the best deal and experience.

Best Toyota Corolla Lease Deals Under $79

Finding the best Toyota Corolla lease deals under $79 can be a game-changer for budget-conscious drivers. Many dealerships offer competitive promotions that make it possible to drive away in a new Corolla without stretching your finances. Seasonal sales or end-of-year clearance events often feature unbeatable prices. Keep an eye out for limited-time offers, as they frequently change based on inventory and manufacturer incentives. Local dealerships may also have exclusive promotions tailored to their communities, so exploring multiple options could lead you to fantastic savings on your next lease.

Understanding Toyota Corolla Lease Offers

Understanding Toyota Corolla lease offers can feel overwhelming at first. Lease deals often come with specific terms and conditions that vary between dealerships. These offers typically include a monthly payment, mileage limits, and potential fees for exceeding those limits. It’s essential to know what’s included in the lease agreement. Some leases cover routine maintenance while others do not. Additionally, understanding the down payment required and any available incentives can help you make an informed decision about your next vehicle choice.

Lease vs. Buy Options Comparison

Leasing a Toyota Corolla often means lower monthly payments and the chance to drive a new car every few years. You don’t have to worry about long-term maintenance costs since most leases cover warranty repairs. It’s an attractive option for those who love driving the latest models without committing to ownership. On the other hand, buying gives you ultimate control over your vehicle. Once it's paid off, you're free from monthly payments and can customize it as you wish. However, upfront costs are typically higher, along with potential depreciation concerns down the line.

Factors Influencing Toyota Corolla Lease Agreements

When considering a Toyota Corolla lease agreement, several key factors come into play. The vehicle's residual value significantly affects monthly payments; higher resale values often lead to lower leases. Additionally, market demand and the dealership’s inventory can influence offers. Credit scores also play a crucial role in determining lease terms. A stronger credit profile typically results in more favorable rates and conditions. Other elements include mileage limits, wear-and-tear policies, and special promotions that may vary by region or season. All these components shape your leasing experience with the Toyota Corolla.

Toyota Corolla Lease Deals in Different Regions

Toyota Corolla lease deals vary significantly across regions. In urban areas, competitive pricing and a larger selection of dealerships can lead to better offers, sometimes even under $79. On the other hand, rural locations might have limited choices but could still feature attractive incentives from local dealers eager to move inventory. Furthermore, regional promotions often reflect market demand and seasonal trends. For instance, during holidays or special events, you may find exclusive discounts that make leasing a Toyota Corolla more appealing in your area. Always keep an eye out for these opportunities!

Tips for Keeping Your Leased Toyota Corolla

Keeping your leased Toyota Corolla in top shape is essential for avoiding extra fees at the end of your lease. Regular maintenance is key—stick to the service schedule outlined in your owner’s manual. This includes oil changes, tire rotations, and brake checks. Additionally, be mindful of wear and tear. Protect the interior with seat covers and mats to prevent stains. Avoid excessive mileage since most leases have limits. Keeping track of these details will ensure a smooth return process when it’s time to hand back your vehicle.

How to Find the Best Toyota Corolla Lease Deals

Finding the best Toyota Corolla lease deals starts with thorough research. Check online resources, dealership websites, and automotive forums for current promotions. Compare prices between local dealerships to ensure you’re getting the most competitive offers. Don’t forget to read customer reviews that provide insights into their leasing experiences. Make sure to visit multiple dealerships in person if possible. This allows you to negotiate better terms while assessing the quality of service they offer. Keep an eye out for seasonal promotions or special events that can significantly reduce your monthly payments.

Research dealerships and their promotions

Finding the best cheap Toyota Corolla lease $79 deals starts with researching local dealerships. Check their websites regularly for promotions and special offers. Many dealerships run limited-time sales that can help you snag an incredible deal. Don’t hesitate to reach out directly to dealers via phone or email. Ask about any current incentives, loyalty programs, or exclusive discounts they may have. Building a good relationship with your dealer can also lead to better opportunities and potential negotiation leverage when discussing lease terms.

Pros and cons of leasing vs. buying

Leasing a vehicle often offers lower monthly payments and allows for driving newer models every few years. It can be appealing for those who prefer the latest technology and features without committing to long-term ownership. However, mileage limitations may restrict how much you can drive without incurring extra fees. On the other hand, buying a car means full ownership once it's paid off. There are no mileage restrictions or end-of-lease charges to worry about. Yet, higher monthly payments and potential depreciation might make it less attractive in the short term compared to leasing options like cheap Toyota Corolla lease $79 deals.

Common Misconceptions About Leasing

Many people believe leasing is just as costly as buying, which isn't true. Monthly payments for a lease are often significantly lower than those for an outright purchase. This makes it easier to drive a newer model without breaking the bank. Another misconception is that leasing means you’ll never own the vehicle. While it's true that leased cars don’t transfer ownership at the end, many leases offer options to buy at competitive prices. Understanding these nuances can help clarify why leasing might be a smarter choice for some drivers.

Customer Experiences with Toyota Corolla Lease Offers

Many customers rave about the affordability and reliability of leasing a Toyota Corolla. With deals as low as $79, they appreciate driving a new car without the hefty price tag of ownership. Users often highlight the smooth ride and impressive fuel economy, making it an ideal choice for daily commuting. However, some leaseholders express concerns regarding mileage limits and potential fees at the end of their lease term. While most find the experience enjoyable, understanding these factors can ease any worries that may arise during their leasing journey.

How to apply for lease cars

Applying for a lease car is straightforward. Start by researching available models and monthly payments. Once you decide on the Toyota Corolla, visit local dealerships or browse online platforms. Many dealerships have dedicated sections for leasing options. Next, prepare your documentation. Common requirements include proof of income, identification, and credit history. Some dealers may ask for references as well. After gathering everything, fill out the application form either online or in-person to streamline the process further while ensuring you meet eligibility criteria effectively.

Application process and Documentation process

Applying for a Toyota Corolla lease involves several straightforward steps. Start by gathering essential documents like your driver's license, proof of income, and credit history. These will help the dealership assess your eligibility quickly. Once you have everything ready, fill out the lease application form at the dealership or online. Be prepared to provide personal information such as employment details and residency status. The more accurate your information, the smoother your application process will be. After submission, wait for approval and further instructions from the dealer on finalizing your lease terms.

Eligibility criteria

To qualify for a cheap Toyota Corolla lease at $79, potential lessees must meet certain eligibility criteria. Generally, dealerships look for a stable income source and a good credit score. A higher credit score can unlock better leasing terms. Additionally, age requirements typically apply; you must be at least 18 years old to sign the contract. Some lenders may also require proof of residence and employment status. Meeting these criteria increases your chances of securing that attractive lease deal without any hassle.

Conclusion

Finding a cheap Toyota Corolla lease for $79 can open up exciting opportunities for drivers seeking affordability and reliability. With its impressive features and top safety ratings, the Corolla remains a popular choice among budget-conscious consumers.
