SOLVE IT SQUAD CLUBHOUSE - DAY 1 The SQUAD is jammed into the old Solve It Squad HQ, a treehouse adorned with maps, drawings, and memorabilia from their childhood exploits. It's way too small for four adults in their thirties. KEITH, a delusional bro who likely peaked in high school, attempts to take charge. KEITH Alright, Squad! Let’s get to work. POV of Instagram where GWEN is livestreaming their meeting. She feigns the bubbliness of an influencer with ease, relentlessly shrewd in her pursuit of the limelight. GWEN Yes, the rumors are true. The Solve It Squad is back in biz. Keith, tell them what we're doing. Keith enters frame, and the flurry of hearts on the screen instantly turn to thumbs-down emojis. KEITH Sure thing, babe. Looks like we got BIG trouble at the LITTLE Mayberry Zoo. It seems, Fam, that their one and only, fur-rocious tiger has gone missing. SCRAGS, a straight-laced, gangly, and slightly jumpy man, interrupts. SCRAGS Easy there, Keith. The details of squad operations should remain within the squad. Bad guys have Instagram too. Gwen flips the camera back to herself. GWEN Ooo. Hot take, Scrags! What do y'all think? Send a Kissy Face if you agree!! ESTHER scoffs. They are brilliant, paranoid, and heavily self-medicated. 2.

    Cultural Resources Overview of the Heinz Ranch, South Parcel (approximately 1378 acres) for the Stone Gate Master Planned Community, Washoe County, Nevada Project Number: 2016-110-1 Submitted to: Heinz Ranch Company, LLCt 2999 Oak Road, Suite 400 Walnut Creek, CA 94597 Prepared by: Michael Drews Dayna Giambastiani, MA, RPA Great Basin Consulting Group, LLC. 200 Winters Drive Carson City, Nevada 89703 July7, 2016 G-1 Summary Heinz Ranch was established in 1855 by Frank Heinz, an emigrant from Germany, who together with his wife Wilhelmina, turned it into a profitable cow and calf operation (Nevada Department of Agriculture 2016). In 2004, Heinz Ranch received the Nevada Centennial Ranch and Farm award from the Nevada Department of Agriculture for being an active ranch for over 100 years. A Class II archaeological investigation of the property was conducted in May and June 2016. Several prehistoric archaeological sites have been recorded on the property. Habitation sites hold the potential for additional research and have previously been determined eligible to the National Register of Historic Places. Historic sites relating to mining and transportation along with the ranching landscape are also prominent. Architectural resources on the property consist of several barns, outbuildings and residences. The barns are notable for their method of construction. Many are constructed of hand hewn posts and beams, and assembled with pegged mortise and tenon joinery. They date to the earliest use of the ranch. Residences generally date to the 1930s. Historic sites and resources located on Heinz Ranch provide an opportunity for more scholarly research into the prehistory and history of Cold Springs Valley (also Laughton’s Valley) and the region in general.

    Inventory of Cardinal College of St Mary in Ipswich ?1530-31 Inventory of Cardinal College of St Mary in Ipswich ?1530-31 The National Archives, SP1/236 Transcript edited and supplied to the Suffolk Records Society by A S and R D Wolfe. Acknowledgements We are grateful to Dr John Blatchly, Chairman of the Suffolk Records Society, for introducing us to the inventory and for suggesting that we might undertake the task of making a transcription. He has given invaluable help and encouragement as the work progressed, as well as sharing his knowledge of the historical background. Dr David Dymond gave helpful advice on the editorial matters that we raised with him and Michael Begley and William Serjeant helped with specific queries that we were unable to resolve ourselves. For whatever errors and shortcomings that may remain we are solely responsible. A S and R D Wolfe (September 2008) Introduction St Peter’s church, probably the earliest of the many medieval parish churches in Ipswich, was appropriated for use as the chapel of Thomas Wolsey’s ambitious but short-lived collegiate foundation 1528-30/31. A surviving inventory of ?1530/31 provides a unique insight into the extraordinary circumstances resulting from this event. Previously twelve small East Anglian monasteries had been closed to furnish and equip the college and some possessions of Felixstowe and Bromhill (in Norfolk) Priories had arrived, only to be mustered for plundering. The inventory was prepared to help Thomas Cromwell assess what could be realised, in the first instance, for the king’s coffers. Following suppression the effects of the college were listed by Edward Leyghton, whose covering letter, presumably to Thomas Cromwell, has also survived (see f.95 below) dated ‘from Oxford in haste the viith day of Juli’.

  • Full Press Release
    2018-19 SEASON PREVIEW OF IMTA ALUMS ON THE SMALL SCREEN IMTA Press Release September 6, 2018 Each fall as a new television season begins, it is gratifying to note the IMTA alumni who add to their résumés with work on “television.” In the 21st Century, “television” is not just a “smart” TV, but any portable device or computer with internet access. Networks and cable channels produce their own line-up of original shows and films, as do streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon and Hulu…and soon, Apple TV. YouTube and Vimeo serve as platforms for independent filmmakers and writers to release original series and films. All of these outlets provide unlimited—and ongoing—possibilities for IMTA alumni to appear on “the small screen” by making their full catalog of shows, new and old, available on-line so that they may be viewed year-round, 24-7. Below are just a few of the IMTA alumni working on network, cable or web series, appearing on returning or new series in regular or recurring roles, announced guest-starring appearances, and lead or supporting roles in TV movies and mini-series. Our apologies for any names missing. IMTA is equally proud of all of the alumni working in the entertainment industry and we try to keep track of as many as we can. Please let us know of castings, guest appearances and other successes of IMTA alums. IMTA alum Amy Acker returns for the second season of the FOX series “The Gifted” on September 25. The action-adventure family drama from Marvel tells the story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers.
