Stenz Construction Corporation was founded in 1973 as a General Contractor and Millwright, focusing in the early years on finish carpentry and constructing custom homes in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas. In 1976, recognizing an opportunity in urban redevelopment, the company acquired a building in historic Lockerbie Square in Downtown Indianapolis and renovated it into its headquarters. In the late 1970's and early 80's, Stenz made a name for itself as experts in large-scale historic renovations, completing such notable projects as The Walker Theatre, 54 Monument Circle (Lacy Building), the Canterbury Hotel, The Glove Factory, and the Indianapolis Repertory Theatre, to name a few.
Stenz was an early pioneer on Massachusetts Avenue, moving its growing staff to the newly renovated Masalla Building (345 Mass Ave) in 1981. In 1987, Stenz moved its headquarters to 429 N Pennsylvania St., where it remains to this day.
Over the years, Stenz Construction Corporation has grown into a full-service Construction Manager and General Contractor, focusing on ground-up construction and renovations in a variety of markets, including commercial office and interiors, education, religious facilities, retail, healthcare, residential and multi-family. Stenz has also remained a leader in historic renovations, restoring over 60 certified historic landmarks. In addition, the company has expanded its geographic footprint, completing projects throughout the state of Indiana and the Midwest.
In 2013, Stenz Construction Corporation celebrated its 40th year in business. We are proud of our accomplishments over the years, and equally excited for what the future holds.

WILSON et al.
KRAEMER, Collector of Internal Revenue, et al.
Docket 21971.
United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit.
Argued May 1, 1951.
Decided June 4, 1951.
Wilson, Hanna & Wanderer, Danbury, Conn. (Monroe J. Cahn, White Plains, N. Y., Lawrence S. Greenbaum, New York City, and Frank J. Nardozzi, Mount Vernon, N. Y., of counsel), for plaintiffs.
Theron Lamar Caudle, Ellis N. Slack and L. W. Post, all of Washington, D. C. (Adrian W. Maher and Edward J. Lonergan, Hartford, Conn., of counsel), for defendants.
Before L. HAND, CHASE and FRANK, Circuit Judges.
FRANK, Circuit Judge.
Under § 302(f) of the 1926 Revenue Act,1 there was included in a decedent's gross estate the value of all property "To the extent of any property passing under a general power of appointment exercised by the decedent (1) by will * * *." This required three elements: (1) the existence of such a power, (2) an exercise of that power, and (3) the passing of that property by means of that exercise. Construing that section, the Supreme Court, in Helvering v. Grinnell, 294 U.S. 153, 157, 55 S.Ct. 354, 79 L.Ed. 825, decided in 1935, distinguished between (a) an exercise of a power and (b) the passing of property pursuant to the exercise. This distinction was again recognized in Helvering v. Safe Deposit Co., 316 U.S. 56, 65, 62 S.Ct. 925, 86 L.Ed. 1266, decided April 13, 1942. We take it that those decisions established this rule: If the exercise of the power merely echoed the limitations over upon default (and especially if the appointee renounced the appointment), there was no "passing" under the power within § 302(f).
Subsequent to those decisions, Congress, by the Revenue Act of October 21, 1942, amended the provisions relating to powers of appointment, 26 U.S.C. § 811(f), by substituting § 403(a) of the 1942 Act2 for § 302(f) of the 1926 Act. The new section includes in the gross estate the value of property "To the extent of any property (A) with respect to which the decedent has at the time of his death a power of appointment * * *." By § 403(d) (3) of the 1942 Act, this new provision was made inapplicable, and old § 302(f) was left intact, if, inter alia, "the decedent dies before January 1, 1943 * * * and such power is not exercised."3 On December 17, 1942, by an amendment, this date was changed to July 1, 1943.4 On March 10, 1943, a Treasury Regulation issued, which read:5 "A power to appoint is exercised where the property subject thereto is appointed to the taker in default of appointment, regardless of whether or not the appointed interest and the interest in default of appointment are identical, and regardless of whether or not the appointee renounced any right to take under the appointment." Some three months later, on June 9, 1943, by an amendment, Congress changed the date in § 403(d) (3) to March 1, 1944.6 The decedent died January 12, 1944. By subsequent amendments, Congress several times put forward the date in § 403(d) (3).7
After the issuance of the Regulation, the Supreme Court, on December 6, 1943, in Estate of Rogers v. Commissioner, 320 U.S. 410, 415, 64 S.Ct. 172, 174, 88 L.Ed. 134, in construing § 302(f), said, in a dictum, "Where a donee of a power merely echoes the limitations over upon a default of appointment he may well be deemed not to have exercised his power, and therefore not to have passed any property under such a power." On the basis of this dictum, taxpayer argues that the words "and such power is not exercised" in § 403(d) (3) must be so interpreted that a power is not to be regarded as exercised if it merely echoes the limitations over upon default of appointment.
We do not agree. Before the enactment of § 403(d) (3), the Supreme Court, as above noted, had carefully differentiated (1) the exercise of a power from (2) an exercise which effectively passed the property. In those circumstances, it was not unreasonable to interpret § 403(d) (3) to include a mere echoing exercise. The Treasury Regulation, which thus interpreted it, was therefore not unreasonable, and, consequently, was valid. The dictum in the subsequent Rogers case — a dictum relating to "passing" under § 302(f) — has no bearing on the validity of the Regulation. Moreover, with this Regulation outstanding, Congress repeatedly amended § 403(d) (3) without altering the words "such power is not exercised." See Helvering v. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., 306 U.S. 110, 59 S.Ct. 423, 83 L.Ed. 536. Accordingly, the decedent's will exercised the power within the meaning of § 403(d) (3).8
While it is not necessary for our decision, we add that we think the appointment here was not of an echoing kind. For the decedent exercised the power to make five money bequests, aggregating $21,501.00, to individuals not mentioned by his mother, and, of the property subject to the power, gave only the balance to his daughter, who would have taken in default of appointment. See Guaranty Trust Co. of New York v. Johnson, 2 Cir., 165 F.2d 298.

In Estate of Sarah Moran v. Commissioner, 16 T.C. 814, decided April 19, 1951, the Tax Court admirably stated the same conclusion as follows: "We have examined carefully the interesting question presented, and the cases cited, and after much study we conclude that we should sustain the respondent's first view that, in order to make effective the new rule adopted in 1942, there need be no passage of title under the power, no effective exercise, in the sense of being effective in spite of renunciation by the recipients named, but only that the power be exercised — as it clearly was by decedent's will, for she said that the `rest, residue and remainder of my estate * * * over which I have power of appointment * * * I give, devise, bequeath and appoint. * * *.' The power was exercised here just as in the Grinnell case the court said it was — though holding that nevertheless the property did not pass thereunder, within the statutory language, because of the rejection of title under the power, by the beneficiaries. That only exercise of power, and not exercise effective to pass title, in the face of renunciation by recipients designated, is fairly required by section 403(d) (3) of the 1942 Act is indicated, first, by the fact that, after the Grinnell decision — in 1935 — Congress in 1942 cannot reasonably have been unconscious of the necessity of expressing exercise sufficient to pass title, as under the former statute, had it so intended; second, because the old statute expressly requires `passing' of title under the power and the new law pointedly omits that language, saying `exercised' instead of the former language: `passing under a general power of appointment exercised * * *'; and, third, because Regulations 105, § 81.24 as amended by T.D. 5239 in 1943 to conform to the Revenue Act of 1942 (C.B.1943, p. (1081) provides in pertinent part that there the Regulation is quoted). This regulation is to be considered as having the effect of law, for section 403(d) (3) has since been repeatedly amended, without change in the language as to the phrase `and such power is not exercised.' Helvering v. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., 306 U.S. 110, 59 S.Ct. 423, 83 L.Ed. 536. The fact that in the Grinnell case the Supreme Court relied on the necessity, within the text of the then statute, for `passing' of property if it was to be included in gross estate, renders it obvious that, under the Revenue Act of 1942, requiring only the power of appointment, and, as to powers set up prior to that time, merely that they be exercised, no passing of property to unwilling appointees is necessary. We see no reason for application here of the prior rule, based on the word `passing,' but rather that it is affirmatively shown, by the text of the new statute, to be here inapplicable. We conclude and hold that the power of appointment, duly and expressly exercised by the decedent, in her will, was exercised within the intendment of section 403(d) (3), irrespective as to whether it was effective to pass the property despite renunciation by the designated beneficiaries."

SUNDERLAND midfielder Jack Colback has undergone a footballing makeover during the close-season.
And he hopes the transformation will take him all the way to the top.
The 22-year-old Tynesider played 32 league games for the Black Cats last term and his displays saw him finish runner-up in both the Young Player and Player of the Year polls.
But Colback wants to go from new kid on the block to Martin O'Neill's main man in the months ahead.
"At my age, I'm not a kid anymore," said Colback. "And I don't want to be tagged as a young player. That label can be used as an excuse if you have a bad game.
O'Neill yesterday completed the signing of striker Louis Saha, who will figure at Arsenal tomorrow, but he refuses to give up on Wolves' Steven Fletcher, despite having had several bids rejected.
Saha, who has signed a one-year deal following his release from Tottenham, will give the Black Cats much-needed firepower.
"Louis is a striker whose abilities have been proven at the very highest level and he brings with him a raft of experience," said O'Neill.


One of the leading causes of gutter repairs is having a clogged system. Your gutters can quickly fill with leaves and other debris which will cause the system to back up. These cogs will not allow your gutters to perform correctly and can even cause damage to the system. The easiest way to tell if your gutters are clogged is if water spills over the sides during a storm.
To avoid the need for many different repairs to your gutter system, it is recommended that you clean your gutters twice a year. This can be done usually in a single afternoon. While you are cleaning your gutters you can also inspect them for damage.
1. Clean The Downspout First. The first thing you want to do is make sure that the down spout is empty and water can flow freely out the bottom. This will help the cleaning process move quickly. A clogged downspout is something that can cause damage to the whole gutter system.
2. Start from the farthest point from the down spout and begin the cleaning process. You will need rubber gloves to protect your hand and possibly a trowel or other shovel like instrument to clean out debris.
3. Once you have all of the debris removed from your gutters, you should run water through the system. This will clean out any remaining small particles from your gutters and help you check for any leaks, cracks or other issues to your gutters.
4. If you have algae or mold build up in your gutters, you may want to treat these areas with special cleaners to remove this build up. If left untreated, blue algae and mold and mildew can spread to your roof and the exterior of your home.
5. Check all the fastenings of your gutter system to make sure that it is securely attached to your home.
If all of this sounds like a lot of work, you are right. But it is very necessary to keep your home safe from water damage. If you do not want to take care of this necessary home maintenance task, you are encouraged to speak with a contractor to have the services done for you. Keeping your gutters in good maintenance can prevent any serious harm to your home from water and ice.

A Star Is Born: From the stars to the soundtrack - Why to watch the Oscar-winning film
Our guide to the film's best bits, all-star cast and insider information.
By Sophia Moir Published: 25 February 2019 - 2.34pm
A Star Is Born might be a remake - but it is in no way unoriginal.
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga star in the emotional film about seasoned musician Jackson Maine (Cooper), who falls in love with young singer Ally (Lady Gaga) and helps her to launch her career.
But as Ally's career takes off, Jack continues to fight his own internal demons, sending his own career into a downward spiral.
> A Star Is Born is available to buy on BT TV now and watch on your TV box, or to rent
From its record-breaking soundtrack to the performances of its two leads, we reveal the best bits about A Star Is Born, as well as fascinating facts about the film, who's in the cast, and more...
Lady Gaga as Ally
Lady Gaga - real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - plays aspiring singer Ally, who's practically given up on her dream to make it in the spotlight when she meets Jack.
A Star Is Born is Gaga's first major film role since she burst onto the showbiz scene 10 years ago.
She is known mainly for her music, and has won an impressive nine Grammy awards to date.
Before A Star Is Born, Gaga appeared in Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story TV series in 2015-2016 as The Countess.
Bradley Cooper as Jackson 'Jack' Maine
Cooper plays Jackson Maine - known to Ally as Jack - an established musician and globe-trotting rock star, who's fighting an ongoing battle with drink, drugs and personal issues.
The US actor had already achieved success with movies before A Star Is Born, including roles in Oscar-nominated films American Sniper and Silver Linings Playbook.
However, Cooper had to train for six months to become musician Jack in the film - he even taught himself to play the guitar and piano for the role.
He also worked with a vocal coach, and sung all of his songs live for the film, alongside Gaga.
As well as being the leading man, A Star Is Born is also Cooper's directorial debut.
The film also features Sam Elliott as Jackson's brother, Bobby. Elliott was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this performance - his first Academy Award nomination in his 50-year acting career.
Elliott joked to Deadline.com of his nomination: "I think the thing off the top of my head might be, 'It's about f*cking time'.
"Beyond that, it's really about the work; it's just about the creative process. It's great to be recognised for that, that's really all it's about."
TV fans might recognise him from his role as Beau Bennett in The Ranch, Phil in Grace and Frankie, or Ron Dunn in Parks and Recreation. He's also appeared in movies including Road House, The Hero and The Big Lebowski.
The film also features Rafi Gavron as Rez, Andrew Dice Clay as Lorenzo and Anthony Ramos as Ramon.
3 reasons to watch A Star Is Born...
1. The stellar performances of its two leads
There's no question that the performances from Cooper and Gaga are career-defining.
As we've said, Cooper has had success in Hollywood - you might also recognise him from The Hangover franchise - but his portrayal of Jackson Maine is a totally different beast.
He didn't just learn the lines, he immersed himself into the character, not just by learning to play guitar and piano and honing his singing talent, but by completely changing his speaking voice too.
Gaga, meanwhile, is totally stripped back - the antithesis of her larger-than-life red carpet persona.
Together, the pair are unequivocally mesmerising on screen.
2. The record-breaking original soundtrack
A Star Is Born is a remake of a film that's been made twice already - but the songs in this version of the story are entirely original.
There are 17 original songs from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper on the soundtrack and the pair performed them all live on set.
On the soundtrack, Gaga performs nine songs solo, Cooper performs five, and they have four duets. There's only one cover on the whole album (Edith Piaf standard La Vie en Rose).
After the soundtrack was released, it topped the Billboard 200 Albums chart, making Lady Gaga the only woman to have five number one albums this decade.
She's also now one of the only artists to have the number one song, number one album and number one film at the same time in the UK and Australia.
The most popular song on the soundtrack, and in theatres, is the original song Shallow, which features in the film's trailer.
3. The awards season buzz
Shallow scooped the Golden Globe for Best Original Song - Motion Picture (pictured below), in January 2019.
On the same night on February 10 in Los Angeles, Gaga and Cooper scooped the Grammy award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Song Written For Visual Media, for Shallow.
In February 2019, Shallow won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the Oscars.
A Star is Born was also nominated for seven more Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress for the two leads, Best Supporting Actor for Sam Elliott and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Trivia: Did you know…
1. Lady Gaga and Cooper filmed some of the stage performance scenes at the Coachella and Glastonbury festivals. At Coachella 2017, Gaga used some of her headline set to perform as her character Ally.
Cooper told EW of his co-star's scene-stealing Coachella set: "[The grounds] were still up, so we had the run of the entire place, all the stages, for five days. It was the first stuff we shot. That was amazing because that was the first time I sang on stage with her. I couldn't believe how easy it was."
Cooper surprised crowds at Glastonbury 2017 when he performed on the festival's Pyramid Stage (pictured below) at the start of country legend Kris Kristofferson's set. Kristofferson himself played the role of the troubled singer opposite Barbra Streisand in the 1976 version of A Star is Born.
2. Bradley Cooper was spray-tanned every day to give him that sunburnt cowboy look, while menthol was sprayed in his eyes to make them look bloodshot and watery.
Lady Gaga on the other hand didn't wear any make-up at all as Ally - Cooper made her wipe off her make-up during their first meeting - but she required a lot of body make-up to cover her tattoos.
3. Talks of a third A Star Is Born remake to follow the original 1937 movie, and the 1957 and 1976 versions began in 2011. Clint Eastwood was originally attached to direct, with singer Beyoncé in the female lead.
In a 2011 interview about the role, Beyoncé told Reuters: "I didn't think I would ever get the opportunity to be the star. I met with Clint and I was so nervous, and I know that it is the biggest opportunity of my life."
The film was reportedly delayed due to her pregnancy before Lady Gaga was then signed on for the project.
4. According to IMDB, other singers and actresses attached to the project included Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Kesha, Rihanna and Janelle Monáe. Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, and Will Smith were all considered for the role of Jack.
5. The dog Ally gets for Jackson is Bradley Cooper's actual dog, Charlie. According to professional breeders, he's a goldendoodle (the cross of a golden retriever and a poodle).
Charlie won the hearts of many with his performance in the film, with many fans calling out Charlie's lack of awards nominations:
6. [SPOILERS AHEAD] When Jack is insulting Ally during an argument while she's in the bath, the comment he makes about her being "ugly" is totally unscripted. Lady Gaga - who has opened up about her insecurities surrounding her appearance in the past - reacts genuinely to the improvised insult.
Cooper told news.com.au that the comment wasn't a calculated move to get a rise out of Gaga, but a follow-up to Ally's earlier comment that she felt ugly.
He said: "That wasn't an actor trying to get something out of another actor. That was two characters.
"What Jackson does to her in that moment is go to the most vulnerable place. That's what she shared with him early on at the cop bar [that she felt ugly], so it's to story."
Watch A Star Is Born if you liked…

News Bioeconomy Paper
Norske Skog pursuing microfibrillated cellulose
Norske Skog has been granted NOK 6.5 million from Innovation Norway for two projects – the further development of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and the development of fibreboard.
Innovation Norway has already funded a pre-built pilot plant for MFC-production at Saugbrugs, which will open later this year. This plant has a capacity of about 1 ton per day.
The main purpose of the MFC-project is to develop MFC from thermomechanical pulp (TMP). The pilot project is budgeted at NOK 18.4 million (about C$2.8 million) of which Innovation Norway's funding share is NOK 4.5 million (about C$700,000).
Norske Skog expects microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) will enhance paper-based products. In addition, the company says, MFC can over time be developed as a replacement for plastic products, as well as a thickening substance in various products such as paint.
"If we succeed in producing MFC with this technology and use it in our paper production, this could reduce our costs and make us more competitive in the future. At the same time, the MFC competence will be useful for the entire group," says Sven Ombudstvedt, president and CEO of Norske Skog.
According to Norske Skog, research and production of MFC has so far been based on chemical cellulose pulp (sulphate and sulphite pulp). Only a handful larger production facilities exists. Production of MFC from thermomechanical pulp (TMP) is entirely new.
Norske Skog has also received NOK 2.0 million (about C$300,000) in funding from Innovation Norway to develop fibreboard. Preliminary test results show the boards to have a solid structure, light weight and excellent insulation capabilities. The project funding will cover the building of a pilot plant to develop necessary production techniques to realize full-scale production of the new fibreboards. The boards will be tested and developed in collaboration with potential customers in the construction industry.

Greenpeace's Chief Scientist: Carbon Off-sets Paid for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Will Have "No Meaningful Effect" On Climate Change
The environmentalist religion still sells its indulgences to the easiest sucker … er … highest bidder.
"Carbon off-setting scheme supported by Sir Elton John on behalf of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have no 'meaningful' effect on climate change says Greenpeace's chief scientist", by Joel Adams, 19 August 2019, Daily Mail
Greenpeace's chief scientist has said it is 'not okay' to claim, as Elton John did on Harry and Meghan's behalf today, that private jet travel is 'carbon neutral' as a result of a donation to a carbon offset scheme.
Doug Parr told MailOnline: 'There's no way any current tech deals with the load of CO2 you've released on a personal level'.
In an Instagram message today Sir Elton John responded to criticism of Harry and Meghan's recent private jet vacations by insisting he had made a donation to offset the carbon cost of the trips.
The royal couple's return flights in private jets from England to Ibiza, and then from England to Nice, generated an estimated seven tonnes of CO2.

On May 31 - before anyone knew Left 4 Dead 2 was coming - user Walking_Target gave a detailed description of a special infected he and a friend wanted to develop with the L4D SDK.
"After spending an hour chatting about it, we came up with the idea of 'The Spitter' " Walking_Target writes. He then gets down to discussing what this zombie does. Lo and behold, it's the spitting image (groan) of the special infected Valve announced for L4D2 this week.
Here's the best part: Walking_Target is said to be a cofounder of the L4D2 Boycott movement.
Chances are this is just a neat coincidence. For certain Valve has been working on Left 4 Dead 2 well before May 31 and probably had this special infected spec'ed out before then, too.
But if not, it's one hell of a middle finger back to those who raised so much hell about a Left 4 Dead sequel being made so soon.

Stem cell therapy debated as option to fight coronavirus
Ljubljana, 16 April - A debate co-hosted by the STA on Thursday heard that stem cell therapy could be one of the possible solutions for the treatment of Covid-19, in particular for the most severe cases, but that clinical studies are required to realistically evaluate their therapeutic effect.
A virtual debate dubbed Could Revolutionary Stem Cell Therapies Offer a Breakthrough for COVID-19.
Photo: STA
In the on-line debate, Francesco Curcio, a clinical pathology professor at the University of Udine, said that the coronavirus would not disappear, and that new viruses could also appear, which is why it was important to be ready and find a good solution immediately.
Curcio, who heads the Laboratory Medicine Department at the University Hospital of Udine, noted that currently used for treatment of Covid-19 were drugs for other viral diseases, including HIV and malaria, "which sometimes give good results, and sometimes not."
In his opinion, currently the best solution are mesenchymal stem cells, a sub-group of stem cells, because they have the ability to balance out the functioning of the immune system and regeneration of tissue.
Tamara Lah Turnšek, the former director of the Slovenian National Institute of Biology, added that mesenchymal stem cell therapy could be considered in the second phase of Covid-19, when it was possible to contract an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
ARDS is a consequence of a strong inflammatory response, called cytokine storm, and there is no cure for it for the time being, but the application of mesenchymal stem cells eases its consequences and improves the changes of recovery.
In this process, according to Lah Turnšek, mesenchymal stem cells play two important roles at the same time - taking care of a balanced response of the immune system, and encouraging other cells to regenerate tissue.
In order to thoroughly research mesenchymal stem cell therapy and put it on the market, a consortium of 13 partners from eight countries has been formed, with the Slovenian biotech company Educell being the lead partner.
Educell director Miomir Knežević said that while not much could be done for a major part of the population during this pandemic, "we can learn and prepare tools for the next outbreak, which will certainly happen."
He said that the goal was not to raise false hopes, but to show how mesenchymal stem cells could help, adding that it needed to be established what was the right quantity of cells and who will respond to therapy and who will not.
Sufficient production of stem cells also needs to be ensured, Knežević said, noting that this was "a different type of medical intervention, which we must develop together with hospitals, producers and scientists."
B. N. Manohar, the director general of the late stage life science company Stempeutics from India's Bangalore, a partner in the consortium, said that mesenchymal stem cells had proven to be safe, and that they should thus be placed on the market.
If the results of clinical studies are good and positive, he believes that it will be possible to convince regulators to approve the therapy.
A study on seven patients in China has shown that it has some positive effects, and positive results were also shown on a patient in Udine, who was given mesenchymal stem cells prepared in Slovenia after all other therapies had failed.
The patient who had previously been mechanically ventilated for 20 days was not saved, but according to Curcio, results were promising, as the cells had done their job in terms of inflammation control.
Knežević said that it depended on the European Medicines Agency when the first clinical studies would be available to researchers, but he announced that some results and solutions would certainly be available in the autumn.
Patrick Soon-Shiong, the director general of the partner company NantWorks, a network of health and technology startups, expressed the hope that mesenchymal stem cells would also help in other diseases caused by irregular functioning of the immune system.

Carmel-by-the-Sea, The Early Years (1903-1913) describes the establishment of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, along with an overview of the history of the Carmel Mission and the Monterey Peninsula. The book's emphasis is on the development of Carmel as a Bohemian artists' and writers' colony at the start of the 20th century. The town's first decade of existence is described: the businesses and services offered, and the residential architecture. There are biographies of the well-known Bohemian artists, writers, poets, builders, and other notable residents and visitors in the early 1900's. This original group of settlers, the majority of whom came from Northern California's Bay Area, were distinctive individuals, who were drawn to the coastal village by its scenic beauty and the inspiration it provided for their intellectual pursuits. They set the tone that made Carmel-by-the-Sea a Bohemian enclave on the West Coast, and distinguished it as a unique place. These early residents and visitors left a significant and lasting impact on the future of the seaside town, which in turn attracted other creative talents to the area, through the years and still to this day. Carmel-by-the-Sea, The Early Years (1903-1913), preserves the literary, artistic, cultural, and architectural heritage of Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula region.

This comprehensive study shows that the stage was active in Kentucky long before the first professional troupe toured in 1815. During the period covered, 1790--1820, Lexington, Frankfort, and Louisville became the major theatrical centers in the West. Performances on Kentucky stages far outnumbered those in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Nashville, or New Orleans. Drawing upon accounts in contemporary newspapers, West T. Hill Jr. demonstrates that drama had developed west of the mountains a full quarter century prior to the date given in theatre histories. The Theatre in Early Kentucky, 1790--1820 captures the full flavor and color of the promoters, managers, professional strollers, and actors, many of whom performed dual roles as actors and managers. Working under primitive conditions, the groups often put on a melodrama, a musical comedy or farce, and several acts of singing, dancing, and recitation in the same performance. Appreciative audiences responded enthusiastically to the overworked and predictable plots of mistaken identity, revenge, and domestic difficulty. This delightful, informative book includes and appendix containing the production data available for 1790--1820. It is illustrated with reproductions of charming newspaper theatrical announcements and with portraits of leading stage figures.

The Urban Plays of the Early Abbey Theatre

Author: Elizabeth Mannion
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
Ireland's Abbey Theatre was founded in 1904. Under the guidance of W. B. Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory it became instrumental to the success of many of the leading Irish playwrights and actors of the early twentieth century. Conventional wisdom holds that the playwright Sean O'Casey was the first to offer a new vision of Irish authenticity in the people and struggles of inner-city Dublin in his groundbreaking trilogy "The Shadow of a Gunman," "The Plough and the Stars," and "Juno and the Paycock." Challenging this view, Mannion argues that there was an established tradition of urban plays within the Abbey repertoire that has long been overlooked by critics. She seeks to restore attention to a lesser-known corpus of Irish urban plays, specifically those that appeared at the Abbey Theatre from the theatre's founding until 1951, when the original theatre was destroyed by fire. Mannion illustrates distinct patterns within this Abbey urban genre and considers in particular themes of poverty, gender, and class. She provides historical context for the plays and considers the figures who helped shape the Abbey and this urban subset of plays. With detailed analysis of box office records and extensive appendixes of cast members and production schedules, this book offers a rich source of archival material as well as a fascinating revision to the story of this celebrated institution.

The first forty years of European theatre in Australia have never until now been the subject of intensive inquiry. Robert Jordan brings to life in brilliant form the shadowy figures that created the colony's first entertainment. Fascinatingly, these theatres were not, as had been thought, the initiative of soldiers and settlers nostalgic for home but of hard-living convicts serving time at the end of the world. Here is a society creating its own rules, its own class system based on enterprise and exploitation. The book analyses the impact on the theatres of the convicts' tastes and origins, the temperaments of powerful individuals and the shifting views of penal servitude. As the centres of power changed, the theatres quickly became fields in which battles for supremacy were fought: between convicts and authority and between friends and enemies of the participants. Robert Jordan combed through British and colonial newspapers, official and private correspondence, court records, statistics and logbooks to uncover these stories. He reveals previously unknown theatre ventures and greatly extends our knowledge of others, notably Robert Sidaway's Sydney theatre and the Emu plains and Norfolk Island playhouses. In the process we come to know a gallery of colourful characters, from Sara McCann, London madam and comforter of a royal duke, to James Lawrence, cardsharp, standover man, thief, liar and professional actor. A substantial appendix provides biographies of the 42 convicts and soldiers known to have been active in the theatres before 1800.

Author: Robert Henke
This volume presents foundational and representative essays of the last half century on theatre performance practice during the period 1580 to 1750. The particular focus is on the nature of playing spaces, staging, acting and audience response in professional theatre and the selection of previously published research articles and book chapters includes significant works on topics such as Shakespearean staging, French and Spanish theatre audiences, the challenging aspects of the evolution of Italian renaissance acting practice, and the 'hidden' dimensions of performance. The essays provide coherent transnational coverage as well as detailed treatments of their individual topics. Considerations of theatre practice in Italy, Spain and France, as well as England, place Shakespeare's theatre in its European context to reveal surprising commonalities and salient differences in the performance practice of early modern Europe's major professional theatres. This volume is an indispensable reference work for university libraries, lecturers, researchers and practitioners and offers a coherent overview of early modern comparative performance practice, and a deeper understanding of the field's major topics and developments.

Beth Conway Shervey examines the cultural consequences of an Equity theatre in a small midwestern farm town. Although many in the Midwest and beyond know the story of The Little Theatre On The Square in Sullivan, Illinois, Shervey is the first to consider what the existence of such a theatre means to perceptions of life in the town. To tell the story of Sullivan and of its star theatre in a cornfield from the perspective of the residents involved, Shervey uses oral history and and dozens of photographs by David W. Mobley, the theatre's longtime photographer. Sullivan resembles most small towns in the Midwest, and The Little Theatre differs little from most professional summer stock theatres. Yet taken together, the small town and its theatre are clearly unusual, and the existence of the theatre obviously alters perceptions of life in the small town. Before the theatre opened in 1957, Sullivan decidedly was a product of its time: the town sported a strong local chapter of the WCTU, moral people avoided taverns, liberals and Catholics were the minorities, and the population was predominantly white. While the theatre didn't effect instant change, it did introduce people to Sullivan who were obviously different. Stars such as Betty Grable, Cesar Romero, Margaret Hamilton, and Pat O'Brien came into town. Aspiring actors and those behind the scenes also mingled with the residents of Sullivan. As a result, Shervey finds, Sullivan faced such issues as racism, homophobia, urban liberalism, and alcohol consumption at a much faster rate than similar towns. For some, the theatre disrupted a sense of the normal; for others, the theatre made life in Sullivan different and interesting, breaking the restrictive bonds typically associated with small towns.

With its impressive variety of theater, Finland is a superpower of performing arts. Finnish theater, however, is presently a hotbed of cultural debate regarding the artistic quality of its performances. This comprehensive overview of contemporary theater explores many of the most contentious questions concerning applied theater, its devised methods, and the corresponding challenges presented to traditional definitions of theater and related arts. Through interviews with new writers and directors, and first-hand accounts of recent performances, this study attempts to define what it means today to say "Finnish theater." It also addresses issues concerning Finland's emergence as a cultural player within the European Union and implications for its evolving national identity.

A Texas County Approves $1.8M Settlement in Sandra Bland Suit
Leaders of a Texas county have approved a $1.8 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Sandra Bland, who died in jail days after being arrested last year.
Waller County commissioners on Wednesday formally approved the Houston-area county's portion of the settlement.
An overall $1.9 million settlement was disclosed by Bland family attorneys last week although the Department of Public Safety, also a defendant in the suit, has said it has not settled litigation and is not a party to the county's agreement.
Authorities have said Bland, who was from the Chicago area, killed herself three days after being stopped by white Texas trooper for a minor traffic offense. Trooper Brian Encinia was later fired and charged with misdemeanor perjury related to Bland's arrest.

An Isaiah Thomas tweet from 2010 has come back to haunt him after big Cavaliers trade
By Adam Spencer
16:36 23/08/17 BST
Back in 2010, the Cleveland Cavaliers put up a horrible showing against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals, losing in six games to their rivals.
Many at the time thought superstar forward LeBron James was emotionally absent during the series as the Cavs were eliminated, especially since he announced he was going to leave Cleveland and play for the Miami Heat shortly after the series ended.
Many fans took to Twitter to criticize King James for the no-show in the aftermath of that series, and one of those fans was Isaiah Thomas, then a 21-year-old star for the Washington Huskies.
As you can see in the tweet below, Thomas - a noted supporter and huge fan of Kobe Bryant - ripped LeBron's effort during the conference semifinals:
Obviously, in the wake of Tuesday's blockbuster trade that sent Kyrie Irving from the Cavaliers to the Celtics in exchange for Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' unprotected 2018 first-round pick, Thomas's 2010 tweet may pose a bit of a problem.
Though both IT and LeBron are adults and should be able to move past something that happened seven years ago, it's not exactly the best start for a pair of new teammates.
However, after Irving demanded a trade earlier this offseason, getting a star like Thomas in return was important for the Cavs. General manager Koby Altman told NBA.com that he's excited to see how the newest Cavaliers fit in with the team:
"This trade needed to include both players and assets that we felt strongly could help us continue to compete for championships and we believe it does," said Altman. "We look forward to Isaiah, Jae and Ante joining us and also felt that the unprotected first round pick in the deal was very important for us and our future as well."
Meanwhile, the Celtics are happy to have Irving in a green uniform, but GM Danny Ainge added that dealing Thomas to the Cavs was very difficult and said the team wishes him all the best (via NBA.com):
"Isaiah embodied what it meant to be a Celtic. He captured fans' hearts not only with his spirit, but his personality," said Ainge. "Jae's toughness was contagious for our team. He improved his skills each year, but it's his energy and fight that will be remembered. We wish them and their families the very best."
Assuming Thomas and James can get past a tweet sent seven years ago, it should be an exciting year in Cleveland. And, now that Irving is in Boston, it could be quite a year there, too.

Temperatures will be rising again this week in the New York area as the mild springlike weather takes a back seat to summer once again. Expect temperatures to inch up during the work week, with highs eventually reaching the 90s. The heat wave should be thankfully brief, as a strong cold front is expected to haul in cooler weather Friday.
High pressure brings clear and dry skies for most of the week, with a warm front likely resulting in a temperature spike on Thursday.


Canada's accelerator for deep tech startups, L-SPARK, has partnered with three other companies to launch a new program for Canadian internet of things (IoT) ventures.
The Secure IoT Accelerator program, launched by L-SPARK and telecommunications company TELUS, in collaboration with BlackBerry and Solace, will provide mentorship and resources for startups to grow and contribute to the Canadian IoT market.
"Adoption of IoT products and services by Canadian firms is accelerating at a rapid clip, and industry analysts predict the global connected IoT devices market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 19 percent through 2023," said Leo Lax, Executive Managing Director of L-SPARK.
Lax was referring to a research report published by Market Research Future citing the North American region as holding the largest share of the IoT market across the globe, followed by Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Globally, the projection is that the IoT market is expected to grow to $6.5 trillion by 2024. In Canada, research firm IDC predicts that IoT will be a $2- billion market by 2018.
L-Spark's Secure IoT Accelerator program is now accepting applications from growth stage companies developing IoT products in industries including automotive, healthcare, access management, smart home and building, retail and supply chain management, logistics and fleet management, natural resources, and asset management.
Startups that will be chosen to join the four-month program will receive exclusive access to LTE-M ready software development kits (SDK) from the corporate partners. They will also get technical mentoring from TELUS, BlackBerry, and Solace experts.
The partners said the Secure IoT Accelerator program will support companies in developing IoT products and services that will use the combined capabilities of TELUS' global connectivity and IoT cybersecurity services, BlackBerry's secure operating system, and Solace's data movement capabilities.
"TELUS is dedicated to fostering a thriving and secure IoT ecosystem in Canada, capable of both serving the needs of Canadians and providing reach to markets around the globe," said Ibrahim Gedeon, CTO, TELUS.
TELUS provides a wide range of communications products and services, including wireless, data, Internet protocol (IP), voice, television, entertainment, video and home and business security.
Meanwhile, Canadian smartphone maker BlackBerry, which has thrown its hat into the domain of IoT security with the launch of the Enterprise of Things (EoT) platform in 2018, provides the technology that allows endpoints to trust one another, communicate securely, and maintain privacy.
"We believe the winners in IoT will be the companies that realize security is not an added cost but a valuable differentiator," said Charles Eagan, Chief Technology Officer, BlackBerry.
Meanwhile, Solace's chief business development officer Paul Fitzpatrick cited the need for manufacturers to deliver safe and secure IoT devices that consumers and enterprises can trust.

Q: Counting words, vowels, and consonants in Python using nested loops My assignment is to write a program in Python that takes input from the user in the form of random words and phrases until the user types "The End." It then needs to give the number of consonants and vowels as well as the number of words typed up until the user ends the program. I have a basic understanding of what I need to do but I'm having trouble understanding how to use Nested loops in the program(required) and how to keep track of the vowels, consonants and words. We just learned about functions(main, etc.) and I think that is a good place to start on this. I understand if/elif/else statements very well and I'm certain they're needed in this as well.
This is the sample given to us.
Hi! I count vowels and consonants! Please enter your words for counting. When you are done, enter "The end."

Please enter a string: elephant

Please enter a string: house

Please enter a string: pacman

Please enter a string: I'm done

Please enter a string: The end

Please enter a string: 5

Thanks for entering your input!

Total number of vowels: 11

Total number of consonants: 14

Any help would be appreciated. I'm a beginner at this and I'm having trouble keeping track of all the different techniques. I just need help getting this off the ground. Getting started has always been the hardest part for me.

A: *

*Start by setting all three counters to zero

*Get input

*If it's a word, add 1 to the word counter

*Again, if it's a word, count the consonants and add that to the consonant counter

*Again, if it's a word, count the vowels

*If it wasn't a word (the end condition) then exit from the loop and finish up

*Go back to step 2 and ask for another word

*Finishing up: After all the words have been entered and counted, print the totals
You can write a function to count the vowels and/or consonants.
Try this:
import string

def count_consonants(in_string):
    a = len(in_string)
    b = len(string.translate(in_string, None, vowels)) #count again after removing vowels
    return a - b

vowels = "aeiou"
word = "elephant"

print string.translate(word, None, vowels)

print count_consonants(word)

Introduction to Wooden Pagoda (应县木塔)
The Wooden Pagoda is not only the tallest but also the oldest wooden pagoda in China today. Compared with the renowned Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, the Wooden Pagoda in YingXian County is 115 years older and 11.36 meters taller. In the 1950s, this pagoda became a cultural heritage and received a first-class protection.
Located in Yingxian county, about 70 km south of Datong, Wooden Pagoda is the oldest and highest wood structure in China. It is also regarded as the "First Pagoda in the World". As a part of the key historical relics list, Wooden Pagoda was built in 1056 during the Liao Dynasty (AD 907-1125) and is a popular destination for tourists.
The octagonal pagoda is about 70 meters (230 feet) high and consists of six stories as seen from the outside. However, the interior of the pagoda has three hidden floors so in total it has nine stories.
The well-proportioned pagoda was constructed without dowels or nails and used 3,000 cubic meters of wood weighing over 2,600 tons. The pagoda represents state of the art traditional Chinese wooden architecture from that period.
The two gates of the pagoda are the main entrances for tourists. The spiral wooden stairs inside the pagoda help tourists climb to the top. On each floor, there are enshrined valuable Buddhist statues, including an impressive 10-meter-high (32.8 feet) statue of Sakyamuni on the first floor.
In addition, a collection of precious relics can be found in the pagoda, including color-printings from the Liao Dynasty, Buddhist scriptures, and other items of great value reflecting political, economic and cultural development in that period.

A beautiful Christmas story received from a friend that I wanted to share with others of my friends. This is a first-person account from a mother about her family as they ate dinner on Christmas Day in a small restaurant many miles from their home.
Nancy, the mother, relates: "We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Erik in a high chair and noticed everyone was quietly eating and talking. Suddenly, Erik squealed with glee and said, 'Hi there.' He pounded his fat baby hands on the high-chair tray. His eyes were wide with excitement, and his mouth was bared in a toothless grin. He wriggled and giggled with merriment. I looked around and saw the source of his merriment. It was a man with a tattered rag of a coat; dirty, greasy and worn. His pants were baggy with a zipper at half-mast, and his toes poked out of would-be shoes. His shirt was dirty, and his hair was uncombed and unwashed. His whiskers were too short to be called a beard, and his nose was so varicose it looked like a road map. We were too far from him to smell, but I was sure he smelled.
His hands waved and flapped on loose wrists. 'Hi there, baby; hi there, big boy. I see ya, buster,' the man said to Erik.
Nobody thought the old man was cute. He was obviously drunk. My husband and I were embarrassed. We ate in silence; all except for Erik, who was running through his repertoire for the admiring skid-row bum, who, in turn, reciprocated with his cute comments.
"We finally got through the meal and headed for the door. My husband went to pay the check and told me to meet him in the parking lot. The old man sat poised between me and the door.
pick-me-up position. Before I could stop him, Erik had propelled himself from my arms to the man's.
"Suddenly a very old smelly man and a very young baby consummated their love relationship. Erik, in an act of total trust, love, and submission, laid his tiny head upon the man's ragged shoulder. The man's eyes closed, and I saw tears hover beneath his lashes. His aged hands full of grime, pain and hard labor - gently, so gently cradled my baby's bottom and stroked his back. No two beings have ever loved so deeply for so short a time. I stood awestruck.
"I had just witnessed Christ's love shown through the innocence of a tiny child who saw no sin, who made no judgment; a child who saw a soul, and a mother who saw a suit of clothes. I was a Christian who was blind, holding a child who was not. I felt it was God asking --'Are you willing to share your son for a moment?', when He shared His for all eternity. The ragged old man, unwittingly, had reminded me, 'To enter the Kingdom of God, we must become as little children.'"
Each December, I vowed to make Christmas a calm and peaceful experience. I had cut back on nonessential obligations -- extensive card writing, endless baking, decorating, and even overspending. Yet still, I found myself exhausted, unable to appreciate the precious family moments, and of course, the true meaning of Christmas.
So, the morning of the dress rehearsal, I filed in 10 minutes early, found a spot on the cafeteria floor and sat down. Around the room, I saw several other parents quietly scampering to their seats. As I waited, the students were led into the room.
Then, each group, one by one, rose to perform their song. Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the holiday as "Christmas", I didn't expect anything other than fun, commercial entertainment – songs of reindeer, Santa Claus, snowflakes and good cheer.
So, when my son's class rose to sing, "Christmas Love", I was slightly taken aback by its bold title. Nicholas was aglow, as were all of his classmates, adorned in fuzzy mittens, red sweaters, and bright snowcaps upon their heads. Those in the front row – center stage - held up large letters, one by one, to spell out the title of the song.
As the class would sing, "C is for Christmas", a child would hold up the letter C. Then, "H is for Happy", and on and on, until each child holding up his portion had presented the complete message, "Christmas Love". The performance was going smoothly, until suddenly, we noticed her --a small, quiet, girl in the front row holding the letter "M" upside down totally unaware her letter "M" appeared as a "W".
A hush came over the audience and eyes began to widen. In that instant, we understood -- the reason we were there, why we celebrated the holiday in the first place, why even in the chaos, there was a purpose for our festivities. For when the last letter was held high, the message read loud and clear: CHRIST WAS LOVE.
