Reno Gunman Opens Fire From 8th Floor Of Luxury High-Rise In an attack that was eerily similar to the shooting at the Mandalay Bay resort and casino in Las Vegas that claimed 59 lives in October, an unidentified gunman took a hostage and opened fire from the eighth floor of a luxury high-rise condominium in Reno, Nevada.* *Amazingly, no bystanders were injured.

According to NBC, the shooter died Tuesday after a SWAT team descended on him while he was barricaded at the Montage, Reno police Deputy Chief Tom Robinson told reporters. It wasn't immediately clear whether he was killed by police gunfire or his own. The gunman's name has not been released, but he has been described by police as a “young adult.”

Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock had owned a room at the Montage until December 2016. The high-rise is surrounded by some of downtown Reno's most popular casinos, but the streets were mostly empty on the night of the shooting because of the unusually cold weather.

*"When you heard it's coming from above it reminds you of the guy shooting from Mandalay Bay," *said Mike Pavicich, who was in town on business from Las Vegas and was standing atop a parking garage at the neighboring Eldorado Resort Casino when the shots rang out, the Associated Press reported.

"It's scary, you know?" Pavicich told the Review-Journal. "This is the same kind of town."

The building was once a casino itself before it was converted into luxury condos, according to its website. Residents at the Montage said they had been told to lock their doors and stay inside during the incident.

Trooper Chris Kelley of the Nevada Highway Patrol told the Reno Gazette-Journal that shots were heard from the building for at least 20 minutes, and TV news reporters said they heard several shots after arriving, though the shots were sporadic, not constant.

Paddock, 64, modified an AR-15 to fire a stream of bullets like an automatic weapon in the attack at Las Vegas, which is 450 miles south. Reported by Zero Hedge 5 hours ago.

Dr. Curry Leavitt now welcomes new patients with missing teeth to experience the benefits of dental implants in Las Vegas, NV, without a referral.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 29, 2017

New patients with missing teeth are now welcome to receive dental implants in Las Vegas, NV, from respected periodontist, Dr. Curry Leavitt, with or without a referral. Dr. Leavitt uses guided implant placement to provide accurate and predictable treatment outcomes to patients.

Patients with missing teeth now have the opportunity to receive reliable and natural-looking dental implants in Las Vegas, NV, from Dr. Leavitt, without a referral. Dr. Leavitt uses a leading-edge cone beam CT scanner to aid in digitally planning the placement of each implant. Guided treatment helps ensure that each implant is placed in an optimal position in the jaw. It also provides safer, more reliable results and can minimize discomfort by allowing Dr. Leavitt to see the precise location of nerves and other dental structures that might interfere with implant placement. The cone beam CT scanner provides clear images of both hard and soft oral tissues. In addition to assisting with accurate implant placement, it can also be used to improve treatment accuracy and outcomes during other periodontal services.

Dr. Leavitt is highly experienced in placing dental implants. Using images from cone beam CT imaging technology, he precisely places each reliable implant post into the bone. Over time, the implant post fuses to the bone during a process called osseointegration. Once fused, the implant is uncovered and a crown is attached to the top. The crown is color-matched to surrounding teeth for the most natural appearance. In addition to improving smiles with durable, long-lasting dental implants, Dr. Leavitt also offers All-on-4® implant-supported dentures and same-day implants that give patients a full arch of new teeth in one day.

Patients with missing teeth are invited to schedule a consultation for dental implants in Las Vegas, NV, with Dr. Leavitt. Appointments can be made by calling Red Rock Periodontics & Implantology at 702-834-8900 or by visiting http://www.redrockperio.com.

Alterra Home Loans' Ben Slayton and Keith Webster to Lead Its Legacy Division

Two top industry leaders head up Alterra’s new Legacy Division in a national effort to expand lending opportunities to the underserved African-American markets

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) November 29, 2017

Alterra Home Loans, a national lender and one of the largest minority-owned mortgage companies in the U.S., announced today that it will launch a new division named Legacy focused on increasing the homeownership rate of African-Americans in the U.S. The division will be led by Ben Slayton and Keith Webster, 53-year and 20-year industry veterans respectively. Webster, the previous founder of Apex Mortgage Group, brings experience both as a successful leader and as a business owner to the effort, as well as conceiving the idea to start the Legacy Division. He’s one of Alterra’s most successful Sr. Vice Presidents and oversees branch offices in Georgia, North Carolina and Texas.

Ben Slayton, a 53-year veteran of the mortgage industry who has built several mortgage and mortgage-related companies, was asked to lead the Legacy Division as President to help pioneer it at a national level. Slayton is the first Black Realtor® in the U.S., the first Black owner/broker of a CENTURY 21 franchise, the first Freddie Mac Multifamily Program Plus Seller/Servicer in the U.S., and he’s also a member of the Alterra Group, LLC Board of Directors.

The Legacy Division’s key focus is to close the disparate homeownership gap that currently exist in the African-American markets. Currently, the African-American homeownership rate is 41%, the lowest of all the minority groups, grossly under the national average of 68%. “Unfortunately, over the last few years the homeownership rate for black families has steeply declined,” Webster said. “The opportunity to create wealth is now.”

According to an MBA report, in the next few years African-Americans between the ages of 30 and 59 will grow an approximate 1 million new households. The Legacy Division will be at the forefront of that growth, strategically targeting to serve these families. “I’ve been working in the minority markets my entire career,” Slayton said. “Over the last eight years, I’ve helped Alterra build a platform that’s designed to serve the underserved borrowers and increase their access to homeownership. Alterra was built for this.”

“This couldn’t be a better fit for Alterra,” Alterra’s President and CEO Jason Madiedo said. “I’ve worked with Keith for over three years and Ben for more than 20 years, and I know their passion, energy and skill is a strategic and purpose-driven winning combination.”

About Alterra Home Loans

Alterra Home Loans is a minority-owned, top U.S. mortgage bank and one of the largest Hispanic-owned mortgage companies in the country. With loan coverage in 29 U.S. states, Alterra strives to represent the underserved in the mortgage industry, specifically serving the diverse markets to help build wealth through homeownership.

BMW i8 Roadster unveiled with 369bhp

Facelifted i8 model range gets power hike and minor aesthetic adjustments for 2018

BMW has unveiled the definitive production version of the i8 Roadster at the 2017 Los Angeles motor show. The long-awaited two-seater will go on sale alongside an updated version of the two-plus-two i8 coupé in the UK early next year featuring an updated 369bhp plug-in petrol-electric hybrid driveline.

The arrival of the i8 Roadster comes more than five years after it was originally unveiled as a concept at the 2012 Beijing motor show and two years since a more production-based concept was unveiled at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The lengthy gestation period has led to the first open-top model from BMW’s fledgeling i brand adopt a newly developed roof structure. It automatically stows beneath a panel integrated within the two buttresses behind the cabin at the press of a button.   

The roof, which consists of a large fabric panel and integrated header rails, is claimed to open in just 15sec at speeds up to 31mph.

To accommodate the new roof, BMW has modified the windscreen, providing it with a strengthened frame and beefed-up quarter windows. The rear window, which doubles as a wind deflector, is also altered, and can be closed or opened independently of the roof.

Further stylistic changes over the facelifted i8 coupe that are set to go on sale simultaneously with the i8 Roadster in early 2018 are the deletion of the rear side windows. They are replaced by new black panels overlaid with aluminium-look trims etched with the word 'Roadster'.

The liftback tailgate of the i8 coupé also makes way for a lengthy engine cover on the new i8 Roadster.

BMW says the inherent structural integrity of the i8’s carbonfibre-reinforced plastic and aluminium structure has helped to minimise weight gain for the new Roadster, which is claimed to tip the scales just 60kg over the facelifted coupé at 1594kg.

Inside, the two-plus-two configuration of the i8 coupé is eschewed in favour of a two-seat layout for the i8 Roadster, which features a claimed 92-litres of oddment space within three separate cubby holes integrated into the rear bulkhead.

The earlier dashboard design has also been lightly updated for the i8 Roadster and facelifted i8 coupé, with the latest version of BMW’s iDrive system now offering either touch control on a free-standing 8.8-inch monitor or rotary control via a dial on the middle console featuring among other subtle changes.

BMW has also confirmed its new open-top i brand model receives newly designed seats, an optional head-up display unit as well a range of new trim options, including carbonfibre trim elements for the dashboard and ceramic controls within the centre console.

Power for the new i8 Roadster and facelifted i8 coupé comes from a reworked version of the plug-in petrol-electric hybrid driveline used by the existing coupé – the LifeDrive architecture as it is labelled by BMW.

It uses a mid-mounted version of BMW’s turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine packaged behind the cabin in combination with an electric motor mounted within the front axle assembly in a set-up that can conceivably provide either front-wheel drive running on the electric motor or four-wheel drive with the petrol engine and electric motor working together.  

The combustion engine continues to develop the same 228bhp and 236lb ft of torque as the existing unit, with drive channelled through a six-speed automatic gearbox to the rear wheels. The electric motor, however, has been upgraded with an additional 12bhp, increasing its power reserves to 141bhp, which is delivered together with the same 184lb ft of torque of today’s i8 coupé via a two-speed gearbox to the front wheels.

Altogether, there is a combined 369bhp and theoretical maximum torque loading of 420lb ft, although the latter is continually regulated dependent on grip and traction levels. Five different driving modes are available: comfort, sport, and eco drive in hybrid mode and comfort and eco drive in electric mode.

BMW claims a 0-62mph time of 4.6sec for the new i8 Roadster, with the revised i8 coupé’s time put at 4.4sec. Both have a limited top speed of 155mph.    

Accompanying the changes to the driveline is a revised lithium-ion battery. Its cell capacity has risen from a previous 20Ah to 34Ah, with energy capacity increasing from 7.1kWh to 11.6kWh. BMW claims the new battery provides a range of 33 miles for the i8 Roadster and 34 miles for the facelifted i8 coupé in front-wheel drive electric mode up to a limited speed of 75mph on the European test cycle.

Also new is BMW’s latest 360° electric charging system. In combination with the latest evolution of the German car maker’s i charging station, it provides 7.2kW charging and a claimed 80 per cent state of charge for the i8 Roadster and facelifted i8 Coupe in less than three hours.

Original hand-painted nautical charts by renowned Seascape Impressionist Kerry Hallam...exclusively at all nine Martin Lawrence Galleries Locations

Maui, Hawaii, Nov. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

The artworks, depicting various North American coastal areas, are actual charts that the artist overpaints with images of sailboats, ketches, schooners and sloops. Each artwork serves as the viewer’s invitation to discover the intrinsic beauty of maps and admire the glory and adventure of the coastline.

“I paint some paintings to communicate how I feel about a subject. Others I paint to find out how I feel. Where one is an expression, the other is a discovery."-Kerry Hallam

Kerry Hallam’s foray into chart painting was, according to the artist himself, a “happy accident.” Years ago, Hallam had a small gallery on the Old South Wharf where he served as owner, framer and artist. One morning he realized he had forgotten his pad of paper, and noticed a pile of old charts laying around and thought, “Why not, paper is paper and pretty good stock at that.” Hallam began painting in watercolor and with a few brilliant strokes representing sailboats on the starboard tack he began creating refreshing, spirited and enticing artworks that have become his signature works. 

Kerry Hallam has been called by Forbes Magazine – “A charming Adventurer.” Born in Northern England, Hallam showed early artistic talent when he won a six-year scholarship to London’s University Central College of Art where he received formal training under British master painters. In fact, Britain’s Royal Society of Artists in Watercolor recognized that talent, and included him in their ranks. He was also strongly influenced by the Fauves and the 19th century French Post-Impressionists, Cezanne and Van Gogh. 

Enthusiasm is Hallam’s currency — his art is filled with vivid, windswept seascapes and timeless, sun-dappled village scenes. His panoramas continue to draw accolades, including a first-place award by the prestigious L’Association Pour le Promotion Artistique Francais. Hallam has been honored through innumerable one-man exhibitions around the world and is a mainstay at all nine Martin Lawrence galleries locations across the country. Hallam is also the author of – Getting to Nantucket, An Artist’s Journey.
