It has long been a critical commonplace that film and theatre are distinct and separate art forms, and that, to succeed, film must remain true to those peculiarities that mark it as different from other art forms. Theatre, being in some ways the most similar art form to film (prior to the acceptance of television as art), is viewed as the source of many of the worst cinematic bad habits (which can be collectively termed ‘staginess’), and film directors are charged to be vigilant in not falling prey to these. Film is at its best, at most cinematic, when it is at its least theatrical. Adaptations of plays, when not seen as inherently suspect, are accepted only when they liberate themselves from their stage origins, that is, make you forget that they are based on plays at all. Erwin Panofsky’s essay ‘Style and Medium in the Motion Pictures’, first written in 1934, and then revised in 1946, is a key text in the promotion of this point of view; in it, he approves of the realization by the more intelligent of the early filmmakers ‘that the imitation of a theater performance with a set stage, fixed entries and exits, and distinctly literary ambitions is one thing the film must avoid’. Oliveira has no interest in avoiding such an imitation; indeed, his film’s relation to theatre goes well beyond imitation.
When the lights come on at the start of My Case, they reveal cameras pointing forwards, almost straight at the viewer. We soon realize that they are situated in a darkened auditorium, among empty seats. People gradually enter, sit down or assume their positions at equipment. Oliveira himself, I think, can just about be glimpsed on the right of the screen; it is he, I assume, who calls out ‘Lights!’ The rigid distinctions between film and theatre insisted upon by Panofsky and others since are undermined right from the beginning of My Case, in which the director is presented as someone is at the same time both the director of a movie and the director of a play; the crew are at work simultaneously on a movie and on a play; the viewer is about to watch something that is both movie and play. There’s a cut to the front curtain of the stage, which shows the masks of Comedy and Tragedy; a young man enters with a clapperboard; ‘first repetition’, he announces, and the curtain rises. It’s a bolder opening than that of Louis Malle’s Vanya on 42nd Street, which eases us gently into its theatrical scene by showing us the actors and the stage director Andre Gregory walking and talking in the streets of New York on their way to the theatre. Oliveira is almost confrontational in his insistence on the theatrical nature of material.
The set, an elaborate recreation of a stylish Art Nouveau interior, with backlit stained-glass doors at the centre of the rear piece, could not be more calculated to play up the stagy artifice of the proceedings. This is the theatre of boulevard entertainment, of bourgeois farce, anachronistic in it stylings in 1986 yet representative of all middlebrow commercial theatre. It is a theatre denounced by the Intruder, who, in his preamble to the story he never manages to tell, decries its falsity and dissimulation, its moustaches, hair-do’s and make-up. In breaking the fourth wall and addressing the audience directly, he is tearing down this falsity to make a direct address to the audience… except that there is none. What’s more, what we are watching is not a live performance, but a recording, on a screen – there is no fourth wall to broken here. As the Intruder delivers his address, the camera turns slightly. The Intruder turns with it so that he is still looking directly into it, but while he remains centre-stage, he is now no longer centre-screen. At the centre of the frame now is the space between and behind the open doors at the back of the set; soon we see a man run past (the Doorman, as it later turns out), and our attention immediately focuses on him, rather than on the Intruder. What we see in the cinema is the result of decisions made by the filmmaker(s) – decisions about camera movement, editing, lighting etc. This leaves the Intruder with no control over how his message will be received by the viewer. Film actors have less control over their performances than do theatre actors; film performances are shaped and assembled by people other than themselves, while a theatre actor always has the potential freedom to depart from the script or from directorial instructions. Audiences, too, have more control in the theatre; there, they can choose where to focus their attention – which performer, which part of the set, which insignificant prop or bit of costume. The director may, by means of blocking and lighting, provide cues, which most people, most of the time, will follow – but there is always the possibility of letting your eye wander elsewhere, while still observing the action onstage. That possibility is greatly reduced when watching a film, for your eye’s potential wanderings are circumscribed by the edges of the frame (although effects will vary depending on the size of the screen and your position in relation to it), except when you look away altogether.
The characters in Régio’s play are all in competition for the attention of the audience, trying to ensure that peoples’ eyes (and ears) remain fixed on them and on nothing else. In the theatre, this normally means occupying centre stage, but the presence of a camera complicates matters. When the Intruder turns with the camera while he is speaking, he remains in the same centre stage position, but in turning, he turns his back on a section of the auditorium. Later, when the Author delivers his monologue, he first has to literally push the Intruder out of view: away from the centre of the stage and outside the frame. However, the camera plays a trick on him by immediately cutting to stage right to observe the bickering antics of the Intruder, the Doorman and the Actress. The Actress chases away the Doorman, leaving only the Intruder in view; he strides forward, then steps to the side, all the while looking directly ahead, in a state of apparent bewilderment. Bewildered, perhaps, because although he now has the undivided attention of the camera, he is without the privilege of sound; what’s more, he is being scrutinized by the camera in position far from centre stage. Later still, the Spectator strides up to the stage to interrupt the chaos, but starts to speak before he gets there, addressing not the auditorium, but the camera. Oliveira uses Régio’s play as a means of teasing with the questions of what kind of performance do the characters find themselves in, what kind of performance are we watching: a piece of theatre, a piece of cinema, or (unloved form) a recording of a piece of theatre? One key difference between stage and screen highlighted by all these interruptions and addresses to the audience is that screen action cannot be interrupted. The playing of a film might be disrupted by a fire in the cinema or a technical fault (or, if you’re watching at home, you might press pause) but there’s no way, as a mere viewer, you can intervene to stop a baby in a pram careering down a flight of steps, or warn a private detective not to ascend the staircase at a spooky motel. The screaming mother can’t implore you directly to save her child; the private investigator can’t ask you to back him up (nor can Martin Balsam regale you with anecdotes about being directed by Hitchcock). In the theatre, there’s always the potential for interruption, disruption and variation,* whether it be a lunatic rushing onto the stage; an actor forgetting his or her lines, or letting forth an expletive-ridden tirade against the idiot who left his phone on, or dying; a set malfunction; a riot; a bit of improvisation or audience interaction – or, in some cases, more than just a bit. In the midst of his speech, the Spectator berates the audience for not protesting, not coming forward, as he has done, to put an end to the foolishness; the camera cuts to rows of empty seats.
The repeated variations of the second and third sections bring into consideration another area of difference between film and theatre: that of repetition. For a moment, you might be forgiven for thinking that the second section simply replays the film from the first section, only speeded up, de-colorized and with the sound removed. Film, of course, can be replayed; the performance is preserved and can be watched again and again, whereas in the theatre, each performance is ephemeral. But it is always the same performance; there may have been many takes, and the actors may have given different readings in each of them, but only one take is preserved and incorporated into the final result. Stage actors, on the other hand, have the freedom to vary their performances every time, whether it be on the level of the minutest gesture or of the whole conception of the character (Panofsky: ‘Stage work is continuous but transitory; film work is discontinuous but permanent’). Once I realized that the second repetition was not a replay, I started to wonder whether the transition between the sections had been recorded live. Apparently not; we see the curtain descend, the man with the clapperboard announce the change, the curtain rise, and the Intruder make his entrance, all without an obvious cut. This gives the impression of a continuous take, involving the actors rushing offstage in preparation to do the same thing (more or less) all over again. Oliveira thus offers two types of variation-in-repetition: theatrical, in which the actors repeat the performance with subtle differences; and cinematic, in which the film is replayed but altered. The impression of a live recording may be an illusion, however, for there may be a disguised cut I failed to detect; there is a definite cut in the transition between the second and third repetitions, and again (necessarily so, in view of the scenery and costume changes) between the third repetition and the Job section.
The definite break introduced by fourth and final section is signalled from the beginning. There is no man with a clapper-board; the curtain that descends shows not the masks of comedy and tragedy, but one anguished face, looking like the face of a soul in hell. This curtain does not rise; rather, the camera seems almost to go around it, revealing the set. Before this, the off-screen Biblical narration describes the wager between God and Satan that marks the start of Job’s troubles. We don’t see this, of course, because it’s not a scene that can be adequately visualized, either in the theatre or on film – or at any, rate, it would be extremely difficult to bring off. The set is extraordinary: wrecked and burnt-out cars, metal oil drums belching smoke, heaps of rubbish, a painted backdrop showing a stormy sky and the hulking, forbidding towers of a city, styled in an Expressionist manner that could represent a modern or Biblical metropolis. The camera is slightly more mobile in this section than it has been hitherto; there are more shots, even including close-ups and tracking shots. The Job section is thus at the same time more ‘cinematic’ than its predecessors (the camera moves!), and more defiantly ‘theatrical’ (the stylized set). To suggest the tempest sent down by God, theatrical effects are used – lights, recorded sound, a wind machine; when we hear the voice of God, there’s a shot of the loudspeaker from which it emanates. Yet to underscore Job’s humbling, Oliveira uses a high-angle shot – the first time in the film that he shoots a human figure this way; up until this point, almost everything has been shot at horizontal level, as you’d expect of a filmed play. Theatrical tricks and cinematic tricks, pulling apart and yet working together.
Above: The set from the final section.
Partly in response to Panofsky’s influential essay, Susan Sontag published her own essay, ‘Film and Theatre’, in 1966. What she has to say about the opposing impulses to distinguish between the arts and to unite them is germane here:
Consider the two principal radical positions in the arts today. One recommends the breaking down of distinctions between genres; the arts would eventuate in one art, consisting in many different kinds of behavior going on at the same time, a vast behaviorial magma or synaesthesis. The other position recommends the maintaining and clarifying of barriers between the arts, by the intensification of what each art distinctively is; painting must use only those means which pertain to painting, music only those which are musical, novels those which pertain to the novel and to no other literary form, etc.
There are two options, Sontag goes on to write, open to those seeking a ‘definitive’ art form: they can strive towards the most rigorous or fundamental form, which many have identified in the cinema; or they can strive towards the most inclusive form (the total theatre of Wagner, Marinetti, Artaud and Cage might be considered as attempts in this direction). Oliveira’s instincts are obviously those of a unifier, but they would not, I think, lead to such grandiose projects as those conceived by four artists named above. Differences are acknowledged and respected even as commonality is argued for; in some ways, it’s a rather modest position. Take the final scene of My Case, which shows Job restored to wealth and happiness. The set is a representation of a Renaissance Ideal City. Girls dance around Job and his family, strewing flower petals on the ground. An unseen piano plays some Satie-like music. The Mona Lisa is brought on stage, and then there’s a cut to an image of it on a TV screen. The camera draws back to show the whole theatre – the stage, curtains, proscenium and auditorium, where we see the TV with the flickering image of the painting, the film crew at work and some other people simply sitting and watching. It’s a beautiful picture, with (almost) all the arts present and correct: theatre and film, of course, but also painting, television, literature (The Book of Job), architecture (the set), music (the piano) and dance (the girls). As well as being beautiful, it’s implicit that the scene is an impossible idealization (no actual city could ever measure up to the image of its perfection). Just because it’s an impossible idealization, however, doesn’t mean to say that it isn’t worth imagining or even attempting, without success, to realize.
In my final post on My Case, I’ll be considering the relationship between sound and image.
Above: A panel depicting a view of an Ideal City, painted in the fifteenth century and variously attributed to Piero della Francesca, Luciano Laurana, Francesco di Giorgio Martini and Leon Battista Alberti. It hangs in the National Gallery of the Marche in Urbino.
Above: The camera looking down onto the set, near the very end of the film.
*There’s one aspect to the Book of Job that links it to Régio’s play: the intervention of Elihu, which is an act of disruption by someone who claims to have been listening quietly and attentively to the debate between Job and his friends/accusers. Elihu is not mentioned prior to his interruption, and is not mentioned after, so that it has been suggested that his speeches are a textual interpolation. He is played by the same actor who, in the third section, interrupted the action by playing news footage on a projector. With his certainty and insistence that he is imparting a profound truth that contradicts the fallacies of others, he is also reminiscent of Régio’s Intruder.

Among other things, the funding should help Kit Split continue to expand its presence in Los Angeles — users can rent gear anywhere in the United States, but the company is currently focused on the NYC and LA markets.
And even if you’re not flagged you can still apply to be verified manually just to let potential suitors know you are who you say (or show) you are.
All verified users, both those who opt in to be verified and those that are prompted to will receive a special verified badge on their profile similar to Twitter or Instagram.
Luckily Bumble thinks they have found a pretty innovative way to stop it from happening, at least on their platform.
The female-led dating app just announced that they are launching photo verification as a way to rid impersonators from the platform. Bumble will randomly show you one of 100 different poses – like someone taking a selfie while winking at the camera or holding up two fingers, etc.
Renters get access to this equipment for a lower price (CEO Lisbeth Kaufman estimated Kit Split usually costs 30 to 50 percent less than traditional rentals), while the owners get to make some extra money from equipment when they’re not using it.
I first wrote about Kit Split in 2016, and president Kristina Budelis (a former video producer for The New Yorker) said that since then, the service has grown from 5,000 to 30,000 members.According to Kaufman (daughter of Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman), Kit Split is being used in all kinds of productions, but some of the strongest interest is coming from digital media companies as they try to the meet the constant demands of online video production.(The industry’s “pivot to video” may be hitting a rocky patch, but the need for video content isn’t going away.) Investors in the seed round include Hearst Lab (which also invested in Kit Split’s pre-seed funding), Entrepreneurs Roundtable, 3311 Ventures, NYU Innovation Venture Fund, WTI and Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger.Only three per cent of photos in the study were found to be in black and white, but apparently this is something we should be doing more - they’re 106 per cent more likely to get you a right-swipe. And as soon as I swapped the pictures back, the ‘You have a match’ notifications returned. Now I know what I really need to do though - get someone to take a black and white photo of me with my hair tied up, playing sport, alone, smiling with my teeth, looking away from the camera in a candid way. A few months ago I conducted a personal experiment: I swapped out a smiling picture on my Bumble profile for one that was almost identical, but laughing. As part of their study, the researchers found that an incredible 80 per cent of photos on dating apps are posed, but you’d be 15 per cent more likely to receive a like with a candid shot.Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

A computationally efficient alternative for the Liljencrants–Fant model and its perceptual evaluation103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421103View Description Hide Description
An alternative for the Liljencrants–Fant (LF) glottal-pulse model is presented. This alternative is derived from the Rosenberg model. Therefore, it is called the Rosenberg++ model. In the derivation a general framework is used for glottal-pulse models. The Rosenberg++ model is described by the same set of or parameters as the LF model but it has the advantage over the LF model that it is computationally more efficient. It is compared with the LF model in a psychoacousticexperiment, from which it is concluded that in a practical situation it is capable of producing synthetic speech which is perceptually equivalent to speech generated with the LF model.

If you have found this piece, it may be because your car is having issues. The purpose of this article is to provide information to help you. With today’s modern cars, many people are not able to do complex repairs themselves. But you can learn some things that make it easier to get quality repairs done. All the advice you need about auto repair is here, so read on.
You should always test drive your vehicle after getting some repairs done on it. This way you can avoid paying for repairs that were not finished correctly. Many people don’t do this, and the car ends up with the same issues that were supposed to be repaired.
Do not let mechanics do repairs that are not warranted on your car. A trustworthy mechanic should inform you about parts that are becoming worn and will need replacement in the near future, but no parts should be replaced without first getting your approval. Do not take your care twice to a mechanic who performed some unnecessary repairs.
Ask for parts that are classified as OEM parts. These are the manufacturer’s original parts. It may be cheaper to take generic parts, but there’s no knowing the true quality of those parts over the many years to come. Generic parts could end up costing you more in the long run.
When taking your car to the auto shop, make sure you haven’t left any items in it. The mechanic might have to remove certain items, and they won’t be liable if it goes missing. Take all items out of your trunk, too.
The tips included here should help you prepare for just about any car issue you can imagine. While there’s still a great deal more to learn, these basic tips should see you through your own minor repairs. If you have larger issues, you should know the way to locate a good mechanic.

Bavarian Chocolate Latte
I confess, I am a chocolate freak. Not just a chocolate addict, a full out freak. I collect recipes with chocolate, I will drive for miles to check out a bakery that might have a chocolate creation and I drive my kids nuts by not sharing my chocolate. Chocolate and coffee have always been paired together, but far too often it is a bad marriage. Cheap chocolate, lousy coffee or a heavy hand with the mixing almost always leave me unhappy with the mix.
That changed when I found this recipe called Bavarian Chocolate Latte. First of all, there isn’t a chocolate called Bavarian but there are some wonderful chocolate Bavarian cream desserts, so I read on. Second, I am usually disappointed with chocolate lattes (see the above gripe) but this recipe seemed more subtle. It can be served hot or iced (I have included the instructions for iced) and is a great combination of both chocolate and coffee, without either flavor overpowering the other.
You can substitute low fat milk but I really like whole or 2%. They will be richer tasting but of course carry the price of higher fat and calorie counts. You can use your favorite chocolate syrup but it always pays to read labels. Chocolate syrup shouldn’t have a lot of ingredients.
Enough for 1 good sized serving
1) 4 tablespoons of a good quality chocolate syrup
2) 1 shot of your favorite espresso
3) 1 cup of steamed milk. I prefer whole milk but you can substitute.
4) Some Whipped cream
5) 5 to 6 ice cubes if you are going to have an iced coffee.
Espresso maker and electronic blender
Hot Bavarian Chocolate Latte
Brew up your favorite espresso. You will need 1 shot (one ounce) for each serving that you make.
Mix together 4 tablespoons of chocolate syrup, a shot of espresso and 1 cup of steamed milk. Pour into your favorite mug and top with whipped cream.
Iced Bavarian Chocolate Latte
Grab your favorite blender and add the chocolate syrup, espresso, steamed milk. Add a handful of ice cubes to the mix.
Blend together well for 30-60 seconds until all of the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Pour the drink into a tall glass. For a colder drink, put the glass into your freezer for a few minutes before serving.
Add some whipped cream and a few chocolate sprinkles and enjoy!

The Space Research Service and the Space Operations Service (SOS) need to be protected and managed in order to enable the community to operate its spacecraft and to retrieve data taken by them. Without these bands, spaceborne science cannot be carried out.
The SRS covers the communications services necessary for spacecraft launch and for data communications with spacecraft. The most prominent network supporting near-Earth missions related to both Earth science and space science is the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN), an international network of antennas operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA. The DSN supports interplanetary spacecraft missions and radio and radar astronomy observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe. The network also supports selected Earth-orbiting missions.
The SRS also includes communications for space radio astronomy (space very long baseline interferometry) using antennas in Earth orbit. The spacecraft transmit the data to ground stations for processing and analysis.
The Standard Frequency and Time Signal-Satellite Service, as well as navigational systems used by the science community, provide position data needed for measurements of motions of Earth’s crust and glaciers as well as for navigation of our spacecraft. They also sometimes support intrinsic scientific uses in addition to navigational purposes—for example, measurements of general relativity.
These systems provide timing virtually anywhere on Earth, orders of magnitude more accurate than any other system. GPS provides timing with an accuracy that can be exceeded only by having an atomic clock located in a laboratory.
The International Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) (IGS), formerly the International GPS System, is a voluntary federation of more than 200 worldwide agencies that pool resources and permanent navigation satellite station data to provide the highest-quality data and products in support of Earth science research, multidisciplinary applications, and education. Currently the IGS includes two GNSSs—GPS and the Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS)—and intends to incorporate future GNSSs, such as Europe’s Galileo system. The IGS is primarily used by the EESS for spacecraft position and timing information in support of remote sensing. There are also experimental scientific uses of IGS for radio science and bistatic radar.

i gain the loveliest insights--what some call 'aha!' moments--in conversations with friends. yesterday, in the company of a dear, wise woman, i came to a deeper understanding of this: a life lived in neutral can't quite reach its greatest potential. being overly cautious, or 'straddling the fence' so that we might appear pleasing to all, tends to result in a blandness--a sameness--that defeats who we truly are. even more disheartening, we squander energy which might be invested in exploring our uniqueness, fighting our real selves.
as relates to my writing work (really, my path as a whole): i am recommitting to a boldness that reflects my truest voice.

This Amazing Tuna Melt sandwich takes this iconic sandwich to heights you just can't imagine. It all starts with the Best-Ever Tuna Salad, and then the rest just comes together beautifully. Simple, straightforward and unbelievably delicious!
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium high heat and add remaining butter.
Meanwhile, build the sandwiches by starting with 1 bread slice, buttered side down. Add 1 slice of cheese, then about 1/2 cup of the tuna salad, then 1 or 2 slices tomato, a pinch of salt and pepper, another slice of cheese, and another slice of bread, buttered side on top. Repeat to build 4 sandwiches.
Carefully add 1 or 2 sandwiches into the hot skillet. Cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip and cook the other side until toasted on the bottom, another 2 to 3 minutes.

5 tips when measuring food waste
Do you monitor and measure your food waste? Even if you have just started measuring or have been doing it for a while, there are some important basics to consider in order to ultimately succeed in reducing food waste. By setting clear goals, measurement and an action plan, food waste can be greatly reduced in a short period of time. Here we list our 5 best tips to succeed with your waste measurement:
1. Measure food waste throughout the production process:
Measure the waste at all the different stages of the meal process. To make improvements later, we must first have concrete figures to compare.
- Storage waste
- Preparation waste
- Cooking waste
One tip is to have separate bins for each type of waste, write clearly on the bin so everyone can clearly see. It is then easier to distinguish the different types of waste.
2. Measure food waste continuously
Measure food waste continuously to get a fairer picture of what it actually looks like and get a picture of which dishes or combination of dishes cause more or less waste.
3. Prepare a waste analysis
Based on the measurements, conduct a waste analysis and obtain a total overview of where in the organisation the different types of waste were reported and what it means for the organisation as a whole or per kitchen.
To obtain the percentage of waste per eating guest, information is needed on how many people ate that day. Keep track of the number of plates used by measuring the stack of plates in the dispenser before and after lunch or by counting the number of full trays of plates from the counter.
4. Set goals
Set common goals to get all kitchens working towards the same goal. Set reasonable goals that motivate good work; interim goals can be good for making overall and long-term goals more manageable. A goal must be measurable and time-bound so that you can determine when the goal has been achieved.
5. Engage the staff
Make sure that everyone is on board and committed. Without commitment from the staff, we cannot succeed with the project. Make sure everyone is motivated, has the right knowledge and equipment to succeed. Also, be sure to celebrate and praise each other for good work and commitment, the way there is often more important than the result.

BOSCOBEL - The Boscobel School Board met for a very lengthy regular meeting on Monday, March 8.
One of the items that incited most of the long conversation was that of the softball field and the poor condition it has fallen into.
Penny and Corey Grassel made a presentation to the board about the field.
Penny shared with the board that the field was built around 1993-94, however since that time there have been no major improvements or upgrades done to it.
In 2019, a group gathered in an effort to look into work that could be done to bring the field up to snuff for players. The group gathered a list of concerns and then shared them with school administrators before contacting the park board with their concerns.
“They basically told us there is no money,” Penny said. “They suggested we do some fund-raising to help find the funds.”
The group contacted a professional to take a look at the field and see what needed to be done. From there they went to the city to ask for an account to keep funds in if fund-raising was possible. The group was able to raise $600 from area businesses for improvements. Penny shared that various grants had been shared with them, but due to different hurdles they were unable to complete them.
“Some we didn’t qualify for, some just came down to, we’re not grant writers,” Penny explained to the board.
The Grassels were able to organize a field clean up day pulling weeds and putting down dirt, but went on to explain that the field, at this point, is beyond such temporary repairs.
Grassel explained that she spoke with others in the area who have been putting extensive work into their ball fields and were recommended to go with Midwest Athletic Fields. It was shared with them by this company that they would be coming in April to work on a field in Fennimore and for $6,200 they would be able to piggyback on that visit and repair the west softball field in Boscobel as well.
“They would scrape down two to three inches, level and replace bases and mound, as well as laser grade it and make better drainage and upgrade some materials,” Corey explained to the board. “The biggest concern is we’re hosting games and we need to have a quality field that represents our program. It’s beyond small repairs. The field is full of dandelions and we get complaints from other teams.”
“We went over to the baseball field and there isn’t a single dandelion on the baseball field,” Penny told the board. “There are safety hazards after years of not maintaining it properly.”
Board member Roger Knoble suggested having a Go Fund Me page to raise money for repairs.
“I don’t think that’s a bad idea,” Penny said. “But really the bigger problem is we have forgotten about our girls program. We can look over at the boys program and it looks totally different. We owe it to our girls’ program, we have a legal obligation to provide them with an equal playing field. Even looking at the concession stand. We have mice issues, there is mold, so many issues.”
It was noted that aside from Cross Country, girls softball is also the only sport that isn’t played on school property.
Miller shared that in previous meetings with the city, there seemed to be “Unfair or unclear expectations on everyone’s responsibilities,” leading to some issues in communication that could hopefully be resolved going forward.
It was also noted that after some discussion with the city, they agreed to pay for half of the upcoming repairs.
A motion was made to pay up to $6,200 but to speak with the city to confirm their offer to pay half. It was also noted that additional proper training for all staff involved with the field would need to be conducted.
Another urgent fix that needed addressing at the meeting was an ongoing leak in the weight room ceiling.
To be able to remedy the problem immediately, Board Member Wendi Stitzer made a motion to approve the bid from Midwest Builders for emergency replacement of the roof.
Elementary Principal, Danelle Schmid also shared a report with the board.
Schmid shared that Title 1 has scheduled tutors from UW Platteville College to fulfill hours for their diversity class by tutoring English as a second language students in the elementary (This is also scheduled to occur at the middle and high school levels as well.)
It was also shared that the staff received their COVID-19 vaccinations on Friday, March 5. Schmid gave a special thanks to Boscobel Pharmacy and the School Nurse Suzanne for their work to make it possible. The second dose will be administered on March 26.
District Administrator Bryce Bird also shared a report with the board.
Bird shared that administrators across the state are waiting on the state government to finalize education funding for the next year. Bird noted that due to the nature of the two-year rotating budget things can seem uneven in funding plans. However, as Bird shared, “Fortunately at Boscobel, we have a healthy fund balance and a growing capital improvement account (fund 46) which can provide funding for times when needs arise which exceed our budget. It looks like we will be getting approved for a large amount of money ($661,000) through ESSER II Funds. The money can be used over the next two years to address students learning loss and to cover expenses related to COVID. Some of these dollars will help pay for adding additional staff related to catching students up who are behind in their learning. We just have to remember this is one time funding. This money will run out in two years. If we added staff or any other ongoing expenses with this money, we likely will have to cut these expenses when the money runs out.”
In other board news:
•The board approved utilizing the services provided by Andrew Gribble and www.socialschool4edu.com to help promote better social media interaction, content and better branding of Boscobel Schools. The contract would be $9,000 for one year.
•There will be no field trips for the end of the year.
•The trophies throughout the school are being reorganized and a historical cabinet is being added.•There will be a small SWAL banquet in the works.

Central Asian Law
This research report was written by guest researchers at the Department of So- ciology of Law, Lund University, who conducted interdisciplinary research on various topics related to sustainable development and business environments in Central Asia. The stays of these researchers from Central Asia took place in the framework of the EU-funded project “Central Asian Law: Legal Cultures and Bu- siness Environments in Central Asia” (project number 870647 H2020 MSCA-RI- SE 2019-2023), which runs from 01/03/2020 through 28/02/2024. The project is coordinated by Lund University, and the project consortium includes Europe- an universities (University of Zurich, Charles University Prague, Riga Graduate School of Law, Marmara University, University of Latvia) as well as Central Asian partner institutions (L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Khujand Poly- technic Institute of the Tajik Technical University, SIAR Research and Consulting, Tebigy Kuwwat Public Association, Academy of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Uzbekistan, Westminster International University in Tashkent).
The report includes studies on selected development topics in Central Asian countries. The purpose is to contribute insights on the role played by human ca- pital and liberalization in four essential areas concerning sustainable development: science, foreign investment, renewables, and online presence. Methodologically, the presented studies mainly rely on the analysis of data available from internatio- nal organizations. The strength of the analysis is derived from the scale of the data on the countries accumulated over the three decades of their independence. The comparative studies offer new ways of understanding Central Asia, considering the distinct features of the countries in the region and how these changed over the period from 1991 to 2020. The authors made an effort to write the report in a manner accessible to non-specialists. Findings and implications could be of in- terest to policymakers, scholars, and students in the field of Central Asian studies.

Flagler Palm Coast rolls past Bartram Trail, 41-14
ST. JOHNS — In reality, Flagler Palm Coast's 41-14 spring-game rout over St. Johns Bartram Trail on Friday night wasn't its first step toward burying the recent past.
The Bulldogs already took care of that.
Early in the spring, FPC coach Caesar Campana and his team buried a single green helmet in the grass by the practice field and walked away.
He's hoping they left something else behind.
“We lost five games last year with six plays,” Campana said. “We said it was between our ears why we lost them. So we buried that whole thing.”
The Bulldogs, who went 4-5 last season, are sporting all-white uniforms these days and, apparently, a whole different perspective.
A year after failing to score an offensive touchdown in a 14-13 win over Bartram, FPC showcased both sides of its deep, experienced squad.
Rising junior quarterback Dalton Thomas was 9 of 12 passing for 204 yards and two touchdowns in one half of first-team play. The Bulldogs led 41-7 at the break.
One of his scores came on a 68-yard pass to dynamic rising senior Jimmie Robinson, while rising sophomore running back Que'shaun Byrd rushed for two touchdowns and reeled in another.
“We learned a lot from last year,” Byrd said. “We had a terrible season. So hopefully we're going to get it done this season.”
It didn't take long for the Bulldogs to begin the barrage.
On the game's first play from scrimmage, a pitch from Bartram quarterback Jordan Smith hit the ground and bounced into the arms of FPC's Joshua Belle, who walked in from 17-yards out.
FPC added another defensive score when rising senior Jonathan Muniz, who also had an interception, ran in a 16-yard fumble right before halftime.
“Our kids are good, they've been around a while,” Campana said. “We're asking a lot of them right now and we think they can deliver.”

Dining halls of Kremlin, Government House and other government buildings are taking good care of their officials.
As press-secretary of the department of presidential affairs Victor Khrekov reported in his interview to RIA “Novosti”, government's food suppliers fully comply with the Orthodox traditions.
Therefore, all dining halls, not only in the president's administration, but also those in the parliament and supreme court include all dishes specially prepared for fasting.
Lent officially began on Monday. However, since Monday was Russian national holiday (Fatherland Defender's Day), all dining halls began arranging their menu from Tuesday onward.
According to Khrekov, Tuesday's lunch included salad “Health” made of cabbage, carrots with nuts and honey. It also included famous Russian Lenten borsch with mushrooms, buckwheat, and pilaf with dried fruits.
The cost is relatively low, only 5-10 rubles (approximately 25 cents).
According to the head of food services at the government's house Zoya Romanova, this recent tradition of Lenten meals is very well acepted among Russian politicians. Even those who do not follow the tradition enjoy a wide array of vegetable dishes, dishes made of mushrooms and various soups.
The head of the Voronezh region, Alexander Gusev, confirmed the death of Major General Vladimir Zavadsky.


A new report from the American Civil Liberties Union found that students of color and students with disabilities are disproportionately referred to law enforcement in North Carolina.
Between 2017 and 2023, law enforcement and school staff filed school-based complaints of disorderly conduct against Black students at four times the rate of their white counterparts, while students with disabilities were referred to 2.5 times as often as students without disabilities, according to the ACLU.
“It’s devastating. It’s traumatizing. It’s embarrassing. It’s deflating,” Sharlene Smith, a mother from Gaston County, told WCNC. “It’s a very demeaning feeling.”
Sarah Hinger, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Racial Justice Program, stated that the discriminatory nature of law enforcement referrals leads to Black students being “over-criminalized, physically and mentally harmed, and funneled into the school-to-prison pipeline every year”.
Suspending and expelling the most vulnerable students also lead to many missing out on crucial classroom lessons; making it hard for students of color and students with disabilities to succeed.
“Taking a child out of school is not beneficial and so, we really want to be selective when we are using that disciplinary consequence,” Caitlin Whalan Jones, director of the Council for Children’s Rights Education Law Program, told WCNC. “There are lots and lots of options before we remove a student from a classroom. What we really need to be doing for these students is providing them the support and skills and tools to change the behavior.”
In August, a WCNC Charlotte investigation found that North Carolina schools report suspending and expelling students with disabilities, per capita, more than any other state in the country. WCNC reports that Black students with disabilities are most often the target, with the exclusionary discipline primarily occurring in elementary schools.
“School feels like just another place where (these kids) don’t belong, which is heartbreaking, because as a society, we think of education as this way out, but if we’re saying it’s only education for some or only students who behave in a certain way, that’s not what we as a society, we as North Carolina, have said about education and how we perceive education should be,” Jones added.
Parents and advocates across the state have raised flags surrounding the impact of this form of discipline. Several lawyers and advocates have pointed to research that shows how exclusionary discipline is ineffective, and often leads to school drop-outs.
Instead of the state spending millions of dollars to place armed law enforcement officers in schools, advocates are urging lawmakers to invest in support staff who could help students who are in crisis or who act disruptively.
“Prioritizing funding for police officers over funding for counselors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and community health workers is a policy choice that has had grave consequences for North Carolina’s children, especially Black youth and students with disabilities,” Michele Delgado, staff attorney at the ACLU of NC, told N.C. Newsline.
According to N.C. Newsline, the Education Justice Alliance (EJA) and partner organizations have created a form for North Carolina students and families to submit and monitor formal complaints against school police officers and school security guards who harm and violate students’ rights during school or school-related activities.

text: Differential expression of neuregulin-1 (NRG1) mRNA isoforms and proteins has been reported in schizophrenia, primarily in post-mortem brain tissue. In this study, we examined 12 NRG1 SNPs, eight NRG1 mRNA isoforms (type I, type I(Ig2), type II, type III, type IV, EGFα, EGFβ, pan-NRG1) in whole blood, and NRG1-β1 protein in serum of clozapine-treated schizophrenia patients (N = 71) and healthy controls (N = 57). In addition, using cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 15 healthy individuals, we examined the effect of clozapine on NRG1 mRNA isoform and protein expression. We found elevated levels of NRG1 mRNA, specifically the EGFα (P = 0.0175), EGFβ (P = 0.002) and type I(Ig2) (P = 0.023) containing transcripts, but lower NRG1-β1 serum protein levels (P = 0.019) in schizophrenia patients compared to healthy controls. However, adjusting for smoking status attenuated the difference in NRG1-β1 serum levels (P = 0.050). Examination of clinical factors showed NRG1 EGFα (P = 0.02) and EGFβ (P = 0.02) isoform expression was negatively correlated with age of onset. However, we found limited evidence that NRG1 mRNA isoform or protein expression was associated with current chlorpromazine equivalent dose or clozapine plasma levels, the latter corroborated by our PBMC clozapine exposure experiment. Our SNP analysis found no robust expression quantitative trait loci. Our results represent the first comprehensive investigation of NRG1 isoforms and protein expression in the blood of clozapine-treated schizophrenia patients and suggest levels of some NRG1 transcripts are upregulated in those with schizophrenia.

With the news that Donald Trump has created his own platform to communicate his messages directly to those who want to read them, we’re asking: is it ever OK to create your own communications channel?
One of the reasons Trump has set up his own ‘social media’ channel is because he has been banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube – although despite claims from his office of it being a social media channel, I would say it’s actually more of a website/blog.
In PR, we use various tools to get the message out there. One of the main ways is by getting positive coverage for our clients in the media. ‘The media’ ranges from national TV, radio and newspapers through to regional papers and websites to trade magazines and online equivalents. Whichever media is most read by the audience that the client is trying to reach, is the one that works best.
Credibility through media coverage
The thing about getting the media to write about a company is that it’s not the company itself saying how good it is, but a third party. Third party endorsement is much more powerful than taking out an ad in the media, which is like saying yourself how good you are. Who says?! Consumers of that media know that the company has paid for that ad and it comes direct from them.
Readers/viewers/listeners of a news story are receiving it from an independent trusted source not associated with the company the news is about. Much more powerful and credible.
Compelling content writing
But of course, that’s not the only way we get messages out there about our clients. We do get them to communicate directly as well. Whether that be through creative and interesting content on their website, in the shape of blogs for example, or through engaging content on their social media platforms or through newsletters to their subscribers.
By communicating directly, a company has more control over what is written, and of course that’s what Donald Trump wants, especially as he has been so famously vocal in the past about ‘fake news.’
Newsworthy or not?
So is there anything ‘controversial’ in what Trump has done? No not at all, it’s a standard way of a person or an organisation communicating its messages directly to an interested audience. In fact, I would say despite the media attention it got, it’s not even that newsworthy.
But of course, it’s the person behind it, along with his infamy, reputation and social media bans that has got the media’s attention. That and whatever content he might publish on there when he will not be under the constraints of presidency and regulated social media rules. Hardly any new blogs or websites would get this sort of attention, and as a PR agency we would welcome this amount of media attention for our clients!
So yes, we would say it’s definitely OK (and, in fact, a good thing) to communicate directly with your audience as long as the content is relevant and compelling. But do it alongside other activities and get third parties to tell your story as that’s much more powerful. I can tell you how great I am, but if someone else tells you, you’re much more likely to believe it!
To find out how we can help you communicate directly and through the media to your audience, please have a look through our case studies, follow us on social media and get in touch on the phone or through email – 01829 720 789 / firstname.lastname@example.org.

Which Casinos Should You Visited Las Vegas?lnrfdt
A trip into Las Vegas requires you to pick at least one casino to stay at. In fact, some people stay at several different ones just to have the overall experience. It’s really not enough to simply walk down the Las Vegas Strip to see these incredible buildings. You will actually want to see what’s inside. Many of them have incredibly unique decorations, stores, and a multitude of other attractions. These could be shows that you could watch while you are there, but choosing a couple of the best ones can sometimes be a hard task.
Which Ones Should You Visit Or Stay At?
If you decide to stay at any of the hotels, one of the top ones should be New York New York hotel and casino. It literally looks like you are in New York when you are walking around on the outside, and it’s also one of the nicest hotels for a very minimal cost. For just over $50, you can have a room there, which seems hard to imagine. It’s simply one of the best in the city. Next, you should stay at the MGM Grand Hotel which is where they have a substantial number of fights, and other activities, that will keep you preoccupied while you are there. Finally, you should stay at an even cheaper hotel which is the Excalibur hotel and casino. It looks like King Arthur’s Castle on the outside, but once you get to the inside, you will get to see a multitude of restaurants, the pool, and all of the decorations that make this one of the most unique casinos in Las Vegas.
How Do You Get Special Deals On All Of These?
Special deals are always available on the Internet. When you book your flight and car, choose a hotel. You can actually set it up where you stay at each one of these on separate nights, giving you the full experience. It’s almost like musical rooms, but it’s actually just switching hotels and getting to experience each one of them during your stay. You can do this on a two day weekend, or if you are staying for a week, you want to consider a different hotel every night.
Las Vegas really is a fun city. If you haven’t been there before, you will want to come back after you have stayed there just a night or two. There is really no way to experience the entire city until you have spent at least a couple weeks. It will be an exciting experience, and if you can bring someone special with you, it’s going to be a marvelous time. You will have fun, get to see some of the most unique structures in the United States, all the while staying at each one.

A CAMPAIGN to stop pints of milk being phased out was launched by the British Retail Consortium today.
The group says proposed EU legislation could see the pint disappear in favour of half litres and litres.
It is calling on MPs to back its calls for rules allowing food packaging variations among EU member states to remain unchanged.
The disappearance of pints of milk could confuse UK shoppers, the BRC said.
Andrew Opie, the group's director of food and consumer policy, said: "This legislation is just another example of unnecessary legislation the European Commission is trying to impose on members states.
"Feedback from retailers is that consumers are happy with the current pint measurement and would not want to see changes in this area. As far as many are concerned, this is just needless changes to legislation."
The European Commission has proposed a directive laying down rules on nominal quantities for pre-packed products.
A report commissioned by the European Parliament's Internal Market and Consumer Protection which amends the proposals will go to a vote in Parliament on Thursday.
It recommends that drinking milk should be packaged in seven different metric sizes so that shoppers know exactly what they are buying.
Andre Vanderstock, spokesman for the European Parliament in London, said the report made allowances for pints of milk to continue.
"I don't think there is much chance of the pint of milk disappearing," he said.
The report says: "Drinking milk is a staple part of the average consumer's diet. It should, therefore, be subject to mandatory sizes.
"Provision should also be made for national traditions, having regard also to the environmental benefits to be gained by the reuse of containers."
It adds that imperial units such as pints and half pints should continue for drinking milk.
"Consumers habitually buy certain sizes. If ranges were liberalised, distributors could try to undercut each other by reducing each size in order to make a slightly bigger profit," the report says.
Once the Parliament has voted on the report's proposals - including those relating to milk - the matter will be returned to the European Commission for further consideration.
A European Commission spokeswoman said the UK had been fully metric since 2000 with the exception of miles, pints, acres and troy ounces for precious metals.

Choosing the best restaurant kitchen supplies ensures that all the bases are covered when doing kitchen outfits. However, different restaurant kitchens may need additional, variant pieces of supplies, depending on the design and size of a given kitchen.
Inclusively, we intend to list every restaurant’s essential supplies to build a kitchen, meeting your specific desire for a kitchen design.
Factors to consider when purchasing Best Restaurant Equipment Canada supplies to build a kitchen
Before you think of a given brand or model of kitchen supplies to buy, let us dig into a few factors that we must look into;
Your budget determines whether you will buy an already used or a new supply. While used could be kind to your wallet in the short term, new stores will likely last you longer.
Ease of cleaning and use
Your kitchen staff needs suitable kitchen supplies for easy work. If you want to avoid frequent breakage and accidents, buying restaurant supplies that are user-friendly and easy to clean is essential.
Size and Space
The commercial kitchen layout determines the size and shape of supplies therein. If you have a spacious layout, you can go for ample supplies.
Installation and maintenance
The best is to identify suppliers to help install your restaurant kitchen supplies. You can also inquire if they offer ongoing maintenance, which must be done at some point.
It’s essential to consider the kitchen supplies to buy. Some stores may wait, while others are the backbone of that business.
The Types of restaurant kitchen supplies
First, let us discuss the kitchen display system, which is directly affected by the supply list and will help you build out the expenses section of your restaurant business plan. The kitchen display system is co-joined with the restaurant’s point of sale system, and the supplies are many different models and brands. It is, therefore, essential to get it right during the purchase. The supplies include:
Ovens: This is a critical piece of supply, with different varieties such as Standard, the basic oven that heats from the bottom. It’s pocket-friendly, although it cooks slowly and may be inconvenient. The conveyor, equipped with a fan that circulates the air, helps cook the food evenly while moving it from side to side. It’s suitable for pizza. Convections are similar to the conveyor, but it cooks food throughout, maintaining its flavour.
Ranges and ventilators: This is another area of supplies that entirely depends on the kitchen layout. They include induction, which cooks a wider variety of menu items more perfectly than gas ranges. A gas range requires the chefs’ high level of consistency and control. It does the cooking faster than an electric range. The electric one cooks evenly and has no risks if dangers of gas leakage. It is also easy to install.
Food processors: Food processing could be chopping, slicing, dicing, grating, and others. The four main types of processing supply are buffalo chopper, which is very effective in processing large amounts of meat or vegetables – a combination that makes one batch of processed food. The batch bowl does one set of processed food at a time, and continuous feed is suitable for processing more food.
Slicers: Electric slicer could be effective for a restaurant kitchen, for doing much slicing within the commercial time.
Mixers: Effective, especially if the main menu is yummy and baked foods. A standard floor mixer may serve to beat your restaurant kitchen.
Sharpening stones: Sharp knives are essential in any restaurant. Purchase durable sharpening stones to avoid inconveniences.
Gas or electric grill: Since gas heat is suitable for even cooking, gas grills are the best for a restaurant kitchen.
Deep fryer: Many of your consumers love deep-fried staples like onion rings or french fries. A deep fryer is, therefore, the mother of all restaurant kitchen supplies. You can go for a floor model style or a countertop model.
Fridges and freezers: Food items must be stored at minimum temperatures for durability and safety.
Sinks: A three-compartment sink is significant for any restaurant kitchen, even if you have a commercial dishwasher installed there.
Storage racks and shelves: Consider your kitchen organization. You can purchase utility carts, air-drying racks, and stands that make the restaurant kitchen look neat.
Washing equipment: To avoid clashing with the health department and for the safety of your consumers, install hand and dishwashing areas.
Safety equipment: The law requires any public place with this equipment for safety purposes.
Point of sale: This enables you to streamline your operations and uplift your bottom line by managing your inventory, menu, and staff at once.
With the factors to consider while purchasing restaurant supplies and the list of essential supplies provided, any serious restaurant entrepreneur is good to go.


OpenGL 3.0 specifications released to disquiet
The specifications for OpenGL 3.0 have been released by OpenGL ARB, part of the Khronos group, which manages the specification for the 2D and 3D graphics platform. The release came a year after Khronos showed a preview of what they were working on. Some community reaction has been hostile; the released 3.0 specifications were not the major rewrite they were expecting from the previews.
OpenGL 3.0 was released simultaneously with a set of extensions to OpenGL 2.1 for older hardware and a plan to define a set of OpenGL 3.0 extensions to expose the capabilities of newer programmable graphics hardware. Some developers have suggested that this release put its emphasis on backwards compatibility over moving new graphics capabilities into the OpenGL core.
OpenGL attempts to address two audiences, the CAD/visualisation developers and games developers. The CAD/Visualisation group are fairly well catered for in OpenGL 3.0 with its evolutionary development. Games developer are looking to exploit GPU cards much more aggressively and, for some of them the lack of state-of-the-art gaming features in OpenGL 3.0 lead one to refer to it as "state of the ark". OpenGL competes in the games development arena with Microsoft's DirectX technology.
