United States and England to Compete in the Oldest Rivalry in the Sport of Polo
WELLINGTON, Fla., March 28, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), is the Official Apparel Sponsor for the USA Team in the biggest rivalry in the sport of polo, the Westchester Cup. Held at the USPA National Polo Center (NPC) - Wellington, Florida, on Friday, March 31, 2023, the United States will host England in this prestigious international competition.
The illustrious Westchester Cup has a 137-year-old history where the United States and England have challenged each other a total of 19 times, with the last match played in 2019. Luxury designer Tiffany & Co. created the coveted, sterling silver Westchester Cup trophy for the first game dating back to 1886, and the trophy is currently held by the USA Team.
U.S. Polo Assn. is proudly outfitting the USA Team in the Westchester Cup with custom-designed performance jerseys and USPA Pro apparel. Official event merchandise will be available at the Retail Shop at NPC, open Friday, March 31 from 2 p.m.-7 p.m. ET next to the 7th Chukker, as well as online at USPAPro.com. Official Westchester Cup merchandise includes event-branded tee shirts, hoodies, and caps.
"Bringing the Westchester Cup rivalry, with its great athleticism and sportsmanship, back to United States soil for the first time since 2019 is going to be a memorable experience for players and sports fans alike," said Stewart Armstrong, Chairman of the USPA. "We've seen so much growth across the sport of polo in recent years so it's thrilling to have this highly competitive and exciting event at the new NPC, plus airing on ESPN for the first time in polo's history."
Played on the U.S. Polo Assn. Stadium Field 1, fans can watch the competition up close from either the stadium, private boxes, field side tailgates or reservable hospitality tents. For those unable to attend, ESPN allows sports fans to tune into the action of the 2023 Westchester Cup for the first time ever on ESPN's family of brands. Check your local listings for air times and channels.
A victory in 2019 marked the first win for the United States after four consecutive losses to England. The USA Team has emerged victorious on 12 occasions in the competition's history and is currently defending the winning title in the upcoming 2023 Westchester Cup.
"Hosting the Westchester Cup, one of the biggest rivalries in polo, on American soil and connecting with sports fans around the globe through our relationship with ESPN is a major highlight of the 2023 Polo Season here in the United States," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global Licensing, the company that oversees the U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "We are proud to support the USA Team as the Official Team Sponsor and root them on for yet another victory in 2023."
The USA Team boasts accomplished players, each with a decorated career in the sport of polo. Team Captain and newly inducted Polo Hall of Famer Jeff Hall (7), returns to compete in the Westchester Cup, alongside Jared Zenni (7), who is the only U.S. player returning from the victorious 2019 USA Team. The two remaining players, Nico Escobar (6), who just last year helped USA Team win Silver in the XII FIP World Polo Championship, and Matt Coppola (5), are both making their Westchester Cup debut. The England Team consists of Team Captain Tomas Beresford (7), James Beim (6), Max Charlton (6), and Mark Tomlinson (6).
"It's an honor to be competing for the third time in the Westchester Cup alongside other high-goal polo players and teammates," said Jeff Hall. "Together with my team, we are honored to represent the United States in such a historic and patriotic game and hope to again bring home a USA victory."

The new episode of the Test of Time video series looks back at the 1999 found footage hit The Blair Witch Project
Longtime readers of Arrow in the Head will probably remember the article series The Test of Time. Now The Test of Time has been revived as a video series, and you can check out the new episode in the embed above! With this one, we’re looking back at the 1999 hit The Blair Witch Project (watch it HERE)… and to find out whether or not we think this movie stands the test of time, all you have to do is play the video!
Written and directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, The Blair Witch Project has the following synopsis: Found video footage tells the tale of three film students who’ve traveled to a small town to collect documentary footage about the Blair Witch, a legendary local murderer. Over the course of several days, the students interview townspeople and gather clues to support the tale’s veracity. But the project takes a frightening turn when the students lose their way in the woods and begin hearing horrific noises.
The film stars Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua Leonard.
The Test of Time series has the following description: We all have certain movies we love. Movies we respect without question because of either tradition, childhood love, or because they’ve always been classics. However, as time keeps ticking, do those classics still hold up? Do they remain must-see? So… the point of this series is to determine how a film holds up for a modern horror audience, to see if it stands the Test of Time.
This episode of The Test of Time was Written by Andrew Hatfield, Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Mike Conway, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

As part of our set visit coverage of Renfield (check out our full set visit report here) we got the honor of talking to Academy Award Winner and newfound Prince of Darkness himself, Nicolas Cage, who plays Dracula in the film. Nicolas Cage is a legend when it comes to the land of movies and he always seemed destined to step into the cape of the vampire lord.
During our interview we covered all the inspirations that came together in his performance and look as well as the balance of horror and comedy that Nicholas Hoult and Cage himself bring to the film. The classics meet the current within Cage’s Dracula which has more than a bit of rock and roll to him.
I absolutely am so excited for this film. I got to see you on set performing, and you just looked amazing. I wanted to ask you first, what do you think has fascinated readers and viewers over the centuries to keep us coming back to Dracula?
Well, that’s a great question. I think it might have something to do with expressing the human condition. You can supplant one addiction for another addiction alcohol or heroin or sex with an addiction to drink blood. I think Dracula is a story of an entity who has that addiction. But how did he get there? I’ve often thought of the romantic element of Dracula’s character that is love and exile, a character that is unrequited love. And ultimately the condition turns bad as a result of the vulnerability of unrequited love. That’s my own theory as to the fascination with the Dracula character and the vampire character. I don’t think it really comes up in the movie. In the movie, I’m very much supporting Nicholas Hoult, and it’s actually quite comical, the relationship there. It’s really an examination of the Renfield character in a comedy format, which Nick plays so well. He’s so charming and witty, and I think it’s a really fresh take on a Renfield character. So I got to play off of that.
That kind of feeds into another question I had, which was the pathos of Dracula and his relationship with Renfield? Because I’ve talked to Chris and Nick in regards to the film already. And they had mentioned you have a scene where Dracula discovers Renfield’s really betrayed him, and you break, like your character’s heart is broken on screen. And I was curious about the loneliness of Dracula and that connection to Renfield, and that’s basically his one connection to another person.
Well, I think that Dracula is a character that’s been around for hundreds of years, and there is a curse, it’s the consistency to which his heart is broken again and again and again. And I think there is a well, let’s call it a perverse love there that he has for the Renfield character, which is more in the realm of toxic relationships. But there is a kind of affection there, nonetheless, as twisted as it may be. And so, yeah, his heart gets broken. I think that’s the thing, is that he’s constantly coming up against the human experience, which is to break each other’s hearts. And I’m glad you’ve picked up on that.
Well, you also brought up the comedy aspect of the film, which I can’t wait to see play out. But comedy and horror and finding the balance, because they’re two of the most extreme spots of humanity and emotion and also film. Can you talk about finding that balance within this film?
Well, it’s something that I feel lucky to have innately in my chemistry. I just see things in a humorous way. I always have, ever since I was a small child. But it just comes out that way. Not always. Sometimes I’m doing something more dramatic and it’s not amusing at all. But I try to find the humor in everything, no matter how intense it gets. And I think that’s a great life lesson for me, too. It’s a good mantra to always find the humor in it. But you’re absolutely correct. Despite that balance on camera in cinema, it’s a very tricky balance, and one wouldn’t think it, but oddly enough, the two horror and comedy go beautifully together when it’s done right. And to that, I would have to defer to our director, Chris McKay, which I feel he was always aware of that balance, and he made sure it stayed in the zone, but he didn’t want it to just be amusing. He did want there to be pathos, and he did want there to be menace. When I saw An American Werewolf In London for the first time. For me, that Landis picture was always the model. The experience I had in the cinema, going as a young man was that was absolutely marvelous.
I went home thinking about it and how much fun I had with it, the performances of (David) Naughton and (Griffin) Dunne and all of it. But it wasn’t only funny. I mean, there were really terrifying moments. So it kind of knocks you around. You don’t know when you’re supposed to laugh or scream. And I like that feeling. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. And I think Chris was going for that.
I’m actually looking at my American Werewolf in London figure that I have on my desk right now. So one thing that I agree with you on, which is Nick Hoult and yourself, you both have a really good knack for, you can play a very serious role, switch it to being charming and funny and then turn back into, I’m going to kill you with the snap of my fingers. And I wanted to ask you about playing those two parts because it seems like Renfield and Dracula are those kind of characters where they can just snap.
Well, it’s timing. I mean, ultimately, any good comedy has to have the timing. It’s really a rhythm thing. And that’s something that’s in your body. And Nick has that. Nick Hoult has that in his body. It’s impeccable timing. He has it at his fingertips. And I just saw him in The Menu recently and called him to tell him how terrific I thought he was in that. But what was also compelling is that he can be vulnerable. And you can see him switch from very fast paced comedic repartee into genuine pain in his eyes. And I really think that’s something you’re blessed with. It’s a hard thing to learn, that kind of rhythm, that kind of timing. So I don’t really know how to articulate beyond that as to how we got there, except that I think Nick is enormously gifted in the ability in his timing.
Well, and one thing that I picked up on, and I would love to hear if I’m right, I’ve seen some images of you from the film, and I got a complete Conrad Veidt Hand of Orlok pose, Max Shrek coming out of it. But also within your Dracula, it made me so happy to see Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney in there. Can you talk about your process to build your Dracula and what you wanted to take from these previous versions?
The process is a matter of looking at what’s been done well in the past and seeing what works and then sort of cherry picking, as it were, what flavors I want to incorporate, and then go from there and extrude out from there and fit the tone of the picture at hand, which in this case, is a comedy. So it’s more of a jumping off point to look at. Well, what was it about Christopher Lee? I like the look of his Dracula. I like the slick back hair. Well, in his case, it was a British accident. In my case, I was using more of a mid-Atlantic accent because ultimately all those read to August Coppola, my father, because he was such a powerful, charismatic aura when he would walk into any room, because of his intelligence and because of how well spoken and eloquent and his decision to speak with distinction. Because he was a professor of literature, so he made a point of speaking in this mid Atlantic accent, which I found as a child. I was like, why do you talk like that? But nonetheless, he had his reasons. And I thought, well, he’s a great model for Dracula because he kind of looks like he could be Christopher Lee’s brother, if you look at the two of them side by side.
And then also his impact on me. It was easy for me to, more than anyone else, really channel August Coppola. But then I would take whatever inspiration or influence I had from earlier versions of not Dracula, but vampirism on camera and go all the way back to Schrek. Max Schrek as Orlock I was fascinated by his minimal German expressionistic hand gestures to convey that he was disappearing or transitioning into a puff of smoke. I thought it was really beautiful, and I don’t know why I thought it was beautiful. I would say to Chris, but what is that? Is that dance? People don’t act like that anymore in movies. And I think it’s always helpful to look at the past, look at our ancestors in cinema and see what’s been done and what’s worked and what hasn’t worked and just try and play with it and then add on to it or build out from it, or take those influences and develop your own style with an homage, if you will.
I got to see the jewelry and the medallion that you wear, and I love the fact that in the medallion, it’s you as Vlad the Impaler. And I thought that was a really nice touch, and it kind of harkens back to the Coppola Bram Stoker’s Dracula as well.
I had nothing to do with any of that. I had a magnificent wardrobe team, and they were the ones not makeup, wardrobe, they were the ones that brought in the rings and the medallions and the lower jackets and velveteen clothing and all that was them. And I don’t know why they brought that in, but I loved it right away, and I sparked to it. And then Kingsley, the makeup artist was the one that designed the fangs that we were using Lee as a model, Christopher Lee as a model, and branching out from there all the way to Lon Cheney senior in London after Midnight for the fangs. So a lot of thought went into it, but I really can’t take credit for that element. That was mostly a design that came in from makeup and wardrobe, and I was the one that was trying to find whatever I could recruit internally to fill the physical image well.
I wanted to say, I got to see a fight scene with you and the vampire hunters, and I thought the physicality you brought really were to me what Dracula would be unleashed. You were decked out in the velvet, but you were ferocious. And I thought that was great, because that was always the thing that Lee exuded, was that brutality just underneath this veneer of civility.
Well, it was a kind of yeah, the veneer of civility is exactly right. This Eloquent Baron, or Lord or Count, speaks very well and maintains a gentlemanly feel to his social interactions. But lurking there, ready to strike, is the cobra and the panther. And so all of that animality was thought through with Brewster, who was the stunt coordinator, who was working very closely with Chris McKay. The two Chris’s. And I wanted to augment the animality of Dracula’s counterpoint to his elegance as a so-called man. But when the demon comes out, it’s all animal on strike, and the animals are like top predators, like cats and snakes.
It was amazing. But again, sir, I just wanted to thank you for all of the amazing work you’ve done from Raising Arizona and Moonstruck, all of it. I can’t wait for this film. I have a figure of you from Mandy up on my shelf next to Lee and Lugosi.
I love that, Mandy is one of my favorites. I’m so happy to hear that. Well, thank you again. I enjoyed our conversation.

OneMain Financial: The cost of owning and maintaining an automobile has jumped significantly in recent years. AAA estimated the average cost of operating a new car at $9,666 in 2021. That includes insurance, registry fees, oil changes, general maintenance, and gas. The number does not include expensive car repairs that might require emergency loans.
Kelly Blue Book, the industry standard for auto valuation, reported the average price of a new automobile at $48,043 in June of 2022. That's up nearly 13% from the same period one year ago. Based on that, it makes sense to assume that auto repairs have also gone up in price. Inflation is creeping up on double digits. Paying for car repairs is a challenge.
Americans have been putting off auto repairs
Small problems can become big problems if left unchecked. That's particularly true with automobiles. That annoying tick or hum could be a precursor to a much larger issue. Unfortunately, the rising cost of car repairs has caused many Americans to simply ignore the problem, leading to major mechanical failures.
This is the type of scenario where the most expensive car repairs are often required. Failing to replace a worn-out ball bearing could lead to long-term axle and tire damage. If it falls apart, the wheel could seize up, potentially causing an accident and leaving the car owner with no choice but to get the repair done. The only question at that point is where to find the money to do it.
Getting a loan for expensive car repairs
The easiest way to apply for a personal loan is online. Applications are simple to fill out and many lenders will provide a pre-approval option where they skip a deep dive into the applicant's credit report. That eliminates the risk of a "hard inquiry" hit on the individual's credit score and gives the applicant sufficient information to compare lenders.
Once the applicant chooses a lender, the next step is to submit a full application which will ask for more details about income, employment, and living situation (whether they rent or own). The applicant must also provide their social security number and upload valid identification and tax forms. It usually takes less than 30 minutes to fill out the complete application.
Instant approval is not guaranteed, but many online lenders will approve a personal loan application within a few minutes. Traditional banks take longer. Funds transfers can happen in as little as 24 hours, with same-day transfers possible if the application goes through early enough in the day. These factors all vary by lender, as do terms and conditions.
Specifically searching online for a loan for car repair expenses might not provide a full range of available options. Loans for this type of expense are typically personal installment loans, which are part of a much broader category. They could also classify as emergency loans. Both search terms should provide a list of banks, credit unions, and online lenders.
The Bottom Line: Don't put off small auto repairs
The best way to avoid expensive car repairs is to keep up with general maintenance and fix the small problems when they arise. It may be an annoyance to check out those little creaks and groans the car makes, but they could be a sign that something major is about to happen. If it does, a personal loan for auto repair might be the best option to get it fixed.

The Resident Evil franchise’s Sienna Guillory and more have joined Kit Connor in the cast of the mystery horror film One of Us
A couple weeks ago, it was announced that Kit Connor of the hit Netflix series Heartstopper had signed on to star in the mystery horror film One of Us. Now Deadline reports that Connor is being joined in the One of Us cast by Beccy Henderson (Derry Girls), Helena Breen (Hunger), David Horovitch (House Of The Dragon), Douglas Henshall (Shetland), and Sienna Guillory, who is best known for playing the character Jill Valentine in Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Resident Evil: Afterlife, and Resident Evil: Retribution.
Described as an “allegorical film”, One of Us is the feature debut of writer/director Stefan van de Graaff. Filming begins in Belfast, Northern Ireland his month. The movie will show viewers what happens when members of a family begin dying one by one at a funeral, while Youngest (Connor) searches for the stranger in their midst.
Callum Woodhouse (The Durrells), Charlotte Hope (The Spanish Princess), Siobhan Fallon-Hogan (Rushed), and Ian Beattie (Game of Thrones) are also in the cast. Details on the characters are being kept under wraps. The fact that Connor is playing the protagonist called Youngest is really all we know.
Coming our way from the Jung School and Northern Ireland Screen, One of Us is being produced by Raquel Baldwin, with Robert Machoian co-producing and van de Graff serving as executive producer. Bianca Cline, the Marcel the Shell With Shoes On cinematographer who was recently hired to fill in for the late Halyna Hutchins on the troubled (that’s an understatement) Western production Rust when it resumes filming, is the cinematographer on this project as well.
Deadline notes that the Jung School, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, is described to us as “a collective of artists who rely on symbology, allegory, myth, metaphor, and primordial images to make their art with the purpose of healing wounds in the collective unconscious”. One Of Us is their first film production. So that’s interesting. If the movie turns out the way they’re hoping, it’s going to heal some wounds for us.
How does One of Us sound to you? Are you interested in seeing Kit Connor, Sienna Guillory, and the rest of this cast in a wound-healing mystery horror film? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

A recent study conducted by The Match Lab revealed 24 tips for writing the best Tinder bio as a guy. 100 women — who were single, straight and actively using Tinder — were asked to give their thoughts on how to write a good Tinder bio as a guy. Results showed that women's opinions tended to overlap and reveal common themes.
The #1 best Tinder bio tip given was for guys to write about their hobbies and passions. Writing about personal interests is an effective way to differentiate from other users. The study suggested that the more unique the interests are, the more they stand out.
The second best Tinder bio tip was to lighten up and show some humor. Research has also shown that women are drawn to men who make them laugh. "Goofy" or appropriate self-deprecating jokes show a man's comfort with being vulnerable.
Tip #3 is that women want men to be authentic and genuine on Tinder. Although funny Tinder bios are appreciated, they can also seem inauthentic or forced. It's best to avoid generic pick-up lines or cliché jokes and instead to let humor come from a place of originality, authenticity and vulnerability.
The study also reveals some advice for what guys should avoid writing in their Tinder bio. These include being overly political, bragging too much and writing something sexual.
According to The Match Lab's founder, Dan Rosenfeld, "Most guys simply don't know how to write a good Tinder bio. The study we conducted helps break down common mistakes guys make and sheds light on what women are looking for from guys on Tinder. These findings provide clear tips that guys can use to improve their profile on Tinder and other dating apps."
The Match Lab utilizes the scientific method to conduct research on what makes a dating profile attractive and how to date successfully. The company routinely publishes its findings. The Match Lab was founded by Daniel Rosenfeld, a social psychologist and dating expert with a bachelor's degree from Cornell University, a master's degree in psychology from UCLA and a PhD candidacy in psychology from UCLA.

The Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) Foundation is proud to announce the official launch of the Genetic CardioMYopathy Awareness Consortium (GCAC). Created in partnership with eight U.S.-based cardiomyopathy patient groups, the GCAC was formed to raise awareness about the role genetic testing plays in the diagnosis and treatment of genetic cardiomyopathy and help connect more people with affordable, accessible genetic testing.
"Genetic testing can truly save lives," said Greg Ruf, President of the DCM Foundation Board of Directors. "By understanding your risk for genetic cardiomyopathy, you can not only protect yourself by working with your cardiologist to manage your condition, but also protect your family who may have the same genetic mutation."
Close to half of all cardiomyopathy cases have some type of genetic basis or are inherited but only a very small percentage of diagnosed cardiomyopathy patients are ever asked to get genetically tested by their cardiologists even though their governing organizations recommend genetic testing.
From first sitting down with a genetic counselor to understand the testing process and your results to sharing those results with your family, the GCAC website provides step-by-step support to make sure patients feel informed and empowered during the genetic testing process. To learn more, please visit geneticcardiomyopathy.org.
You have been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and it was not caused by heart attack or coronary artery disease;

Mountain View Seeds' professional-grade grass seed outperforms the leading brand in NTEP turf quality scores for a beautiful, greener lawn that is healthier and more durable. Mountain View Seeds is guaranteed to grow and produces a thicker, heat and drought-resistant lawn with less fertilizer, less water and less mowing. Each product is blended with a specific use in mind.

Mountain View Seeds believes that a beautiful lawn can coexist with a healthy ecosystem, and the A-LIST regional mixes are a reflection of that commitment. Mountain View Seeds has developed a grass seed mix that is perfect for home lawns in the Northeast, Midwest, Ohio or Pennsylvania. Choose an A-LIST-approved blend and experience the beauty and sustainability of Mountain View Seeds.
DROUGHT DEFY
Mountain View Seeds Drought Defy mix has been developed to help maximize a lawn's performance while minimizing the need for excessive inputs. It is A-LIST approved, which means it has been tested by universities and the NTEP (National Turfgrass Evaluation Program) to combine high-quality turf and low-input performance, to give added benefits such as reduced watering while needing less chemical and fertilizer inputs. This means a healthy, dark green lawn with less time, money and effort. Drought Defy uses top-rated Turf-type Tall Fescue to help prevent a common and frustrating occurrence, summer burnout.
SUN & SHADE
This mix contains some of the best Turf-type Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, and Perennial Ryegrass varieties on the market. It is A-LIST approved, which means it has been tested by universities and the NTEP (National Turfgrass Evaluation Program) to combine high-quality turf and low-input performance, to give the added benefits of reduced watering and less chemical/fertilizer inputs.
STADIUM MIX
The same high-quality seed that's used on some of the country's elite professional and collegiate sports fields is now available to consumers. This mix contains some of the best-performing Kentucky Bluegrass cultivars on the market. Mountain View Seeds also added a pinch of Perennial Ryegrass to help as a nurse plant due to the slower germination of Kentucky Bluegrass. It is A-LIST approved, which means it has been tested by universities and the NTEP (National Turfgrass Evaluation Program) to combine high-quality turf and low-input performance for added benefits such as reduced watering while needing less chemical and fertilizer inputs.
All of the Mountain View Seeds products contain seed coated with the Watergard Nutrition Package (NP), which helps provide the seed with the nutrients it needs to get off to a healthy start while also helping to prevent the seed from drying out and failing to establish. Watergard NP provides the seed 2X the water retention to help create a safety net in case a day of watering is missed.
Mountain View Seeds is proud to be farmer-owned. Being farmer-owned ensures that the high quality and performance standards the market demands are never compromised. So, whether it's an NFL, MLS, MLB or PGA groundskeeper or a homeowner, the same care and attention is placed on every pound of seed produced and sold.
