Naomi Ellen Watts  (Shoreham, Kent, 28 de setembre de 1968) és una actriu anglo-australiana. És coneguda pels seus papers a Mulholland Drive, el remake de The Ring, i King Kong, així com per la seva nominació a l'Oscar per la pel·lícula 21 grams.

Biografia

Watts va néixer a Shoreham, Kent, Anglaterra, filla de Patricia Watts, dissenyadora, i de Peter, un enginyer de so que treballava amb Pink Floyd. Watts té un germà, Ben Watts, un any més gran i fotògraf als Estats Units.

Els pares del Watts es van separar quan tenia quatre anys, i quan tenia set anys, el seu pare va morir. Després de la mort del seu pare, la seva mare va traslladar la família a Llanfawr Farm, a l'illa d'Anglesey al nord de Gal·les, on vivien els avis materns de Watts.

Els Watts descrivien la mare com una hippie "amb tendències agressives" i gens de diners. Encara que la seva mare ocasionalment movia la família pel País de Gal·les i Anglaterra, sempre acabava retornant a Llanfawr Farm. Watts va viure allà fins als 14 anys. La família va traslladar-se a Sydney, Austràlia el 1982. La seva àvia era australiana, la qual cosa feia que la Naomi i la seva família tinguessin dret a ciutadania australiana. De la seva nacionalitat, ha dit, "Em considero britànica i tinc records molt feliços del Regne Unit".

A Sydney, Watts va anar -entre d'altres- a l'Institut de Noies del Nord de Sydney, on va coincidir amb Nicole Kidman, amb qui té encara una estreta relació. El 1986 feu una pausa i se n'anà al Japó a treballar com a model, però l'experiència, que va durar quatre mesos, va ser infructuosa perquè Watts no tenia els requisits físics d'una model professional. Watts descriu això com un dels pitjors períodes de la seva vida. En retornar a Austràlia va treballar per a uns magatzems locals i després com a ajudant d'editor d'una revista de moda australiana. Una invitació informal per participar en un taller de teatre va revifar la seva passió per actuar, i així va deixar la seva feina per començar la seva carrera com a actriu.

La carrera de Watts va començar a la Televisió australiana, on apareixia en anuncis i en melodrames de televisió com "Home and Away" i "Brides of Crist". El 1995 fa el salt als Estats Units, amb la pel·lícula La noia del tanc. Trobar papers de qualitat a Hollywood li fou difícil; aparegué en la sèrie "Sleepwalkers" i en produccions de la sèrie B, amb pel·lícules com Els nens de les panotxes: La reunió. Gradualment, aconseguí millors papers.

El 2001, Watts va protagonitzar la pel·lícula de David Lynch Mulholland Drive; aquesta va tenir força èxit, i amb ella obtingué el premi a la Millor Actiu al Festival Internacional de Cinema de Canes de 2001. La seva següent pel·lícula va ser el semi-autobiogràfic Ellie Parker. El 2002, feia de protagonista en una de les pel·lícules més taquilleres d'aquell any, el remake de la pel·lícula de terror japonesa The Ring. L'any següent va fer de protagonista a la pel·lícula Ned Kelly. Per la seva actuació amb Sean Penn i Benicio del Toro a 21 grams, del director Alejandro González Iñárritu, va tenir la seva primera nominació a l'Oscar a la millor actriu. Va produir i protagonitzar la pel·lícula independent We Don't Live Here Anymore. Va treballar amb Sean Penn i Don Cheadle a L'assassinat de Richard Nixon, conjuntament amb Jude Law i Dustin Hoffman a la comèdia Estranyes coincidències de David O. Russell, i feia de protagonista a la seqüela de The ring 2. Després va protagonitzar King Kong (2005), en el paper que immortalitzà Fay Wray en la pel·lícula original de 1933. Aquesta versió de King Kong ha estat la seva pel·lícula comercialment més reeixida. La premsa l'ha etiquetat com la «reina del remake» perquè ha fet de protagonista en molts, i està en la llista per fer de protagonista del remake de la pel·lícula Els ocells d'Alfred Hitchcock (1963).

Watts va estar sortint amb Heath Ledger, després se la va relacionar amb el director Daniel Kirby i, des de la primavera de 2005, està amb l'actor Liev Schreiber, amb qui ha tingut un fill, Alexander Pete. Watts és amiga íntima de Benicio del Toro, amb qui coprotagonitzà 21 grams. Després de filmar El vel pintat, es va convertir al budisme, afirmant "tinc alguna creença, però no sóc una budista estricta encara".

Cardiff Council
Want to build a loft conversion? If you live in Cardiff you now need to pay £50 just for advice
Cardiff council, in its role as a planning authority, has introduced a new set of charges relating to planning applications
Alison SandersDigital Development Editor
A view of Cardiff
Wales' biggest council has been accused on trying to cash in on the planning boom by increasing some charges by up to four times.
Cardiff council has introduced a new list of charges relating to planning applications in its capacity as a planning authority. The new charges, which came into effect on August 1, are for pre-application advice for developments which are then considered by planning officers or the planning committee who then make a decision.
The charges are split into four categories which also include VAT.
Advice on a planning application for 25 or more residential units has gone from £500 to £2,500 plus an extra hourly rate of £100. Developments of between 10 and 24 homes now stand at £1,250 - also with an additional hourly rate of £100. The charge previously stood at £250.
Minor developments of between one and nine homes, advertisement applications, and agricultural developments, now cost £250 instead of £100, and with an hourly rate of £100. The final category includes alterations or extensions to single properties and applications for things such as loft conversions, garages, sheds, walls and fences. There was previously no charge for this type of work but it will now cost £50 yet without an hourly rate on top.
This new category also includes minor developments for small businesses, advice on listed buildings and conservation areas, works to trees which are already subject to Tree Preservation Orders and discussions about enforcement investigations.
Councillor Judith Woodman, leader of the Lib Dem group, said: "These are huge increases. Big developers can afford this but the problem is they will pass that cost on to their customers. They will recover their costs in that development.
They're cashing in on the big developers but we also have to think about the city's residents as well."
Independent Councillor Jayne Cowan said: "I feel the percent increases are too steep. Residents pay high levels of council tax, and I think it is wrong, and goes against the spirit of the council providing a service, to charge people for advice on such matters as enforcement and trees."
A council spokesman said the new charges are in line with those in similar cities such as Bristol and Leeds.
The council's head of planning added: "It reflects the need to support an effective pre-application process to bring forward high quality development across the city."

Gaining Victory Through Biblical Worship
"Extol the Lord our God and worship at His footstool! Holy is He!" (Psalm 99:5)
During Temple times, music played an essential role in the Temple and was a highly developed form of worship.
Today, music continues to play such a major role in prayer services that a chazzan (cantor) usually leads the congregation in beautiful, traditional melodic prayers and Bible cantillation (ritual chanting of Bible passages).
Jewish worship music is so intricate and ornamented that the chazzan has not only a comprehensive knowledge of the Jewish prayers and their accompanying traditional tunes, but is often a musician / singer with an academic degree in music.
Jewish prayers, which are found in the siddur (Jewish prayer book), are recited in three prayer services during the weekdays: Shacharit (morning prayer), Mincha (afternoon prayer), and Ma'ariv (evening prayer). These prayers often comprise the Psalms and other portions of Scripture.
The Roots of Worship
Today many people consider worship just a pleasant warm-up to the more "important" component of a congregational service; for instance, the message.
A study of Scripture and the Hebrew language, however, reveals that praise and worship is so much more than just a warm-up.
Many of the Psalms in the Bible are prefaced with "To the Chief Musician." In modern times, this would be the choir director or worship leader—or the chazzan (cantor) in the synagogue. In Hebrew, this directive reads, "Lamenatzeach" (למנצח).
This word is quite insightful because its root, netzach (נצח), meaning forever or eternity, helps us see into the eternal significance of worship in the life of a Believer.
A related word derived from this same root is nitzachon (נצחון), which means victory. Through the Hebraic roots of our faith, we discover that worship is not simply an enjoyable time of music before the message is delivered, but is, in actuality, a means of connecting with the eternal realm in a way that brings victory. Halleluyah!
"Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation." (Psalm 95:1)
Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot and a male choir at Park East Synagogue in New York City.
The Role of Worship in Victory
Jehoshaphat provides a wonderful example of how praising God leads to victory.
When a great multitude from Syria came against Israel, Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah, fasted and prayed.
In response, the Spirit of the Lord gave a word that they would not even need to fight in the battle, but only position themselves to see the salvation of Adonai (the Lord). (2 Chronicles 20:17)
"'You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you.' … Jehoshaphat bowed with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the LORD." (2 Chronicles 20:17–18)
Jehoshaphat was fully confident that God was in control. All he needed to do to win the victory was fully submit himself to the authority of God through praise and worship.
The Triumph of Jehoshaphat over Adad of Syria, by Jean Fouquet
This is truly amazing! Who did he send in first, even ahead of the mighty warriors of the armies of Israel? The singers and musicians!
"Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise Him for the splendor of His holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: "Give thanks to the LORD, for His love endures forever [Hodu L'Adonai, ki l'olam chasdo]." (2 Chronicles 20:21)
All it took to bring confusion and defeat to the enemy camp was to sing praise and to worship the Lord. This is much different than our concept of spiritual warfare today.
"As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated." (2 Chronicles 20:22)
Worship, however, is not a tool of manipulation. It is not something we do to get something from God; it is an expression of our love, devotion and reverence for who He is — awesome, beautiful, and holy.
"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name. Bring an offering and come before Him; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and in holy array." (1 Chronicles 16:29)
The Jewish People gather at the Western Wall to worship. Because the Western Wall is a remnant of the wall that once surrounded the Temple Mount's courtyard where the Holy Temple once stood, it is considered Judaism's holiest accessible site.
Worship in Ancient Times
How did the people of Israel worship the Lord in ancient times?
We can see from Scripture that not only did people sing, but they also played a variety of musical instruments, including tambourines, harps, lyres, cymbals, flutes, and trumpets.
"I will sing a new song to You, O God; upon a harp, an instrument of ten strings, will I offer praises to You." (Psalm 144:9)
And the worship could be boisterous. When King David brought back the Ark of the Covenant, his worship and that of the Levite leaders was far from orderly, quiet and sedate!
It involved raising their voices with shouts of joy and the playing of loud clanging cymbals and other instruments such as harps. (1 Chronicles 15:16–24)
Although some denominations today frown upon dancing, King David whirled and twirled in praise to the Lord.
His worship was so exuberant, in fact, that his wife, Michal, despised him for it; therefore, God judged her and she remained barren for the rest of her life. (2 Samuel 6:20–23)
Michal Watching David from a Window, by James Tissot (2 Samuel 6:16)
The solution, therefore, in energizing a congregation that's dry and devoid of life may be in restoring a Biblical form of worship.
We can take a hint from David: one of the first things he did as king was appoint singers and musicians to worship the Lord before the Ark of the Covenant and to give God thanks.
"They were to play the lyres and harps, Asaph was to sound the cymbals, and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God." (1 Chronicles 16:5–6)
David was certainly not a perfect man. In fact, he was an adulterer and murderer, and yet, God called him a man after his own heart. Why? Because David was not only sorry for his sins, he was a true worshiper of God.

A Biblical Model for Worship
"God is a Spirit [a spiritual Being] and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth [reality]." (John 4:24)
What is the Biblical model of a true worshiper? How does one truly worship God?
Yeshua (Jesus) gave us an answer when He was talking to a Samaritan woman.
The Samaritan woman said to Him, "Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship." (John 4:20)
When Yeshua answered her, He emphasized the inner attitude of a person over location, saying that true worshipers would worship God in spirit and truth.
"A time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews." (John 4:21–22)
The Samaritans lift the Torah on Pesach (Passover) on Mount Gerizim.
Yeshua wasn't dismissing the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, but He was emphasizing the importance of truly worshiping God.
"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." (John 4:23)
One does not need to be Jewish to worship the God of Israel, nor does one need to be perfect.
Yeshua revealed what true worship is to a Samaritan woman because God is no respecter of persons; He accepts worship from anyone who fears Him and keeps His commandments.
This Samaritan woman had five husbands in her lifetime and was now living with a man not her husband. And yet Yeshua spoke about worship with her, flawed as she was, so that she could become a true worshiper of God, rather than worry so much about where to worship Him.
Messiah and the Samaritan Woman at the Well, by Angelica Kauffman
Worship in God's Dwelling Place
"Many peoples will come and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.' The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem." (Isaiah 2:3)
In ancient Israel, it was clear that worship was only permissible in specific places that the Lord had chosen, such as His Temple in Jerusalem.
King Jeroboam, who ruled over the Northern Kingdom of Israel, defied this rule; he established worship to false gods and other idolatrous practices all over his land.
In a move that seemed to repeat Israel's sin of the golden calf in the wilderness (Exodus 32:4), the king made two golden calves, placing one at Dan and the other at Bethel, so that the people would not go to Jerusalem to worship.
He told the people of Israel, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!" (1 Kings 12:28)
The Adoration of the Golden Calf, by Nicolas Poussin
Jeroboam also appointed false priests, designed his own feasts of the Lord and offered sacrifices "on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing." (1 Kings 12:33)
As judgment for Jeroboam's sins, God destroyed the house of Jeroboam and those who followed the king's model of worship. (1 Kings 14:8–16)
Jeroboam's making of a golden calf and the subsequent destruction of his family line demonstrates that if we don't learn our lessons from history, we are doomed to repeat their mistakes and suffer the consequences.
Jeroboam's sin, however, also underlines the centrality of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple to Jewish worship.
Yeshua (Jesus) called our straying from the Word of God into manmade doctrines and practices, worshiping "in vain:" "… They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men." (Matthew 15:7–9)
As Believers, we need to worship the Lord, not only in spirit but also in truth — that is, according to the Biblical model presented to us in the Word of God.

Worship Then and Now
Today, synagogue services retain some elements from ancient Temple worship, such as parts of the traditional Jewish morning service called the Shema (Hear O Israel) prayer; however, much has changed over the centuries.
The Shemoneh Esrei (Amidah or Standing Prayer), an important prayer recited three times a day during the Shacharit (morning), Mincha (afternoon), and Ma'ariv (evening) services, occurs at the time when the daily tamid (perpetual) offerings would have been offered in the Temple in Jerusalem.
Here is a portion of the Shemoneh Esrei:
We will sanctify Your name in this world just as it is sanctified in the highest heavens, as it is written by Your prophet: "And they call out to one another and say: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory."
And those facing them praise God saying: "Blessed be the Presence of the Lord in His place." And in Your Holy Word it is written, saying, "The LORD reigns forever, Your God, O Zion, throughout all generations. Hallelujah."

Mussaf (additional) prayers, which also includes the Shemoneh Esrei, are recited on Shabbat, Yom Tov, Chol Hamoed, and Rosh Chodesh in place of the additional offerings that would have been made in the Holy Temple when it was standing.
Because of the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, a tragedy which Yeshua predicted (Matthew 24:2), we can no longer participate in the ancient Biblical worship of sacrifices and offerings.
While the Bible prophesies that sacrifices and offerings will be reestablished when the Third Temple is rebuilt, today those who follow Yeshua (Jesus) are filled with the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), similar to the way He resided in the Holy Temple.
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own." (1 Corinthians 6:19)
Shacharit: an Israeli soldier prays in the morning wearing the traditional tefillin (phylacteries), which have scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses of Scripture inside the black boxes.
Every Believer with a pure heart of love and devotion to our Heavenly Father has the privilege of worshiping the Lord in spirit and truth, anywhere, at any time.
So, true worship is not about reciting the right words or getting the liturgy exactly right: it is about the condition of our heart.
"These people come near to me with their mouths and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men." (Isaiah 29:13)
When we worship God, whether with exuberant singing, dancing, shouting and loud instruments, or in quiet thanksgiving with a sincere heart, we touch eternity and are assured of victory in Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah).
"But I, by your great love, can come into Your house; in reverence I bow down toward Your holy temple." (Psalm 5:7)

The Hub Study aids: do they help or harm?
Home / Study aids: do they help or harm?
As a student, you'll probably take all the help you can to achieve great grades. And if it fits within the course or institution rules, why not?
Being an online university, we appreciate that information travels at the speed of light via the web, however, unethical information and content also has the ability to move without barriers and, often times, this is where the trouble begins.
In recent years, an influx of dishonest online educational material — crowd-sourced educational 'resources' that allows students and educators to openly share class content and information has popped up. These sites curate and collect institution-specific content (class notes, test preparation and lesson plans, study guides and pre-'tests' built for preparation) from students and help give it to other students who might need assistance. Not so fast.
At first glance you might think 'great, a peer-reviewed, crowd-sourced website that will help me achieve my educational goals'. If you look again, many of these resources help students by giving access to specific content by trading their content. If we're talking the free sharing of something like class lecture and reading notes, that's one thing.
They ask students to post course materials. Of course, posting your own study or course notes is fine BUT if what you post contains AU course material, posting is a violation of the Student Academic Misconduct Policy (Unauthorized Use of AU materials).
If another student uses your posted material inappropriately (e.g., by plagiarizing it – submitting your content as their own), both you and them may additionally be found in violation of the policy under Aiding Another in Committing an Academic Offence.
Reproducing any material from these sites in your work may violate the academic misconduct policy under the plagiarism clause. Remember this is the case even if you use only a part of someone else's work.
Long story short: if caught dishonestly using and abusing these sites to lift others content, to plagiarize, to utilize copyright materials or straight up cheat in any other way, there will be severe consequences. With penalties ranging from course failure right up to expulsion from AU, these types of activities can leave a very serious mark on your student record.
Firstly, if you have uploaded, shared or loaned any completed or AU-issued course-specific content, you should remove the content from the host site. This includes documents such as: completed essays, course outlines, essay questions, exam prep materials, and other graded assignments. If you're unsure, it's probably safest to take it down as the penalties are serious, all-encompassing and long term.
Remember that it is important that you read and understand the Student Academic Misconduct Policy. Here you will get the answers about what constitutes an academic offence and what is appropriate. It's an important document, so you should know the ins and outs just to be safe. Any questions? Please ask.


If you notice that your child has a speech issue, it is a good idea to take them into a speech and language therapist as soon as you notice it. This allows them to be assessed to see what the next step should be in terms of their treatment. This article will discuss 2 reasons why you should take your child in for language development services at a young age.
When it comes to an issue with your child's speech and language development, the quicker the problem can be assessed and worked on, the better. The language therapist will begin working with your child right away to fix the sound or sounds that they are struggling with, and will help them to move forward with their speech development. However, if the issue is left unfixed, this may cause your child's speech and language issue to become even worse. For example, rather than just having issues with a couple of sounds, these issues may turn into having issues saying several different words that include these sounds. This may cause them to be made fun of, which in turn may make them feel as if they don't want to speak to others. This can turn into a social issue that wouldn't have developed if the child had been able to have early intervention with their speech issues.
Different children are going to respond better or worse to different kinds of therapy. Because speech therapists realize this, they are going to try multiple treatment methods to see which ones work the best for your child. For example, one child may benefit the most from having the speech therapist use props and games to improve their speech, while another may benefit from having the therapist first show them how to shape their mouth, then help them to do so using their hands and different speech tools. Another child may make the most improvements when they are working with a group of children, either in a structured setting where they are all learning how to move their mouth for different sounds, or in an unstructured setting where they are speaking freely on their own, such as playing with toys, board games, etc. A combination of these things may also work well for your child. An any case, the speech therapist is going to watch your child, work with them, and see what is best for their individualized treatment plan.
For more information on language development services, contact a company like Evergreen Speech & Hearing Clinic, Inc.

Reed Finishes 21st In The Drive To Stop Diabetes 300 At Bristol
BRISTOL, Tenn. (April 18, 2015) – Roush Fenway Racing driver Ryan Reed and the No. 16 Lilly Diabetes American Diabetes Association team salvaged a 21st-place finish in Saturday afternoon's Drive to Stop Diabetes 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway (BMS) after sustaining damage in a mid-race incident.
"First of all, it was really cool to have the Drive to Stop Diabetes as the sponsor of the race," said Reed. "We were able to do a lot of things to raise awareness this weekend, but on the racing side I struggled. Bristol is one of my worst race tracks, so I just have to continue to be better. We brought strong equipment this weekend and had a fast No. 16 Lilly Diabetes American Diabetes Association Ford Mustang. I just have to do a better job giving (crew chief) Seth (Barbour) better feedback and just keep learning. I think if we can get better here, we'll only continue to get better everywhere else. "
Reed, who is the voice of the Drive to Stop Diabetes initiative, started the 300-lap event on Saturday afternoon from the 24th position. By Lap 50, Reed reported that the car was loose on entry to the corners, tight in the center and loose on exit. To remedy the problem, the team added three rounds of wedge in the left rear of the car on the Lap 55 pit stop under caution.
By the next caution on Lap 118, Reed reported that the previous adjustments had improved the car, but he was still tight in the center of the turns. Crew Chief Seth Barbour made the call to move the track bar up two rounds and give Reed four fresh tires.
Reed had made his way up to the 19th position by the Lap 173 caution flag and took the wave-around to receive a lap back. He again applauded the team for the adjustments to make the car better.
The team got another chance to work on the car when the caution flag flew on Lap 183. Barbour called on the team to move the track bar up just one round as Reed reported the car was almost where he needed it.
By Lap 194, Reed was up to the 17th position and was making his way through the field. An incident in front of the No. 16 Ford Mustang caused Reed to sustain damage to the right-front of the car, forcing the Roush Fenway Racing driver to come down pit road for a lengthy stop to make repairs.
The caution flag flew again on Lap 205 and the Lilly Diabetes crew used this as an opportunity to make sure the repairs to the car would last to the end of the race. After realizing the wreck that caused the Lap 205 caution flag had caused damage to the safer barrier, NASCAR decided to red flag the race to repair the damage. The red flag lasted 11 minutes and gave Reed a chance to thank the team members for their hard work.
"I appreciate the quick effort to get me back out there," said Reed. "We will salvage what we can here. Every team has bad weekends so we will move on from this and get them next week."
The team restarted in the 25th position on Lap 214 and Reed was able to gain four positions throughout the remaining laps to finish 21st in the Drive to Stop Diabetes 300 presented by Lilly Diabetes.
Reed remains fifth in the NASCAR XFINITY Series championship standings, 38 points behind teammate and points-leader Chris Buescher. Reed is still the only series regular to win a race so far in the 2015 season.
Reed and the No. 16 team return to the track Friday night under the lights at Richmond International Raceway for the Virginia529 College Savings 250.
Roush Fenway Racing is the winningest team in NASCAR history, fielding multiple teams in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR XFINITY Series competition with drivers Greg Biffle, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Trevor Bayne, Elliott Sadler, Ryan Reed, Chris Buescher and Bubba Wallace. Now in its 28th season, Roush Fenway is a leader in driver development, having launched the careers for many of the top drivers in the sport. Off-track, Roush Fenway is a leader in NASCAR marketing solutions, pioneering motorsport's first team-focused TV show and producing multiple award-winning digital and experiential marketing campaigns.

Nathaniel "Buster" Curtis of the famed New Orleans architecture firm Curtis and Davis—authors of the New Orleans Superdome and the IBM Building (now United Steel Workers Building) in Pittsburgh—designed this residence for his wife and seven children in 1961. At the time of its construction, the groundbreaking home was featured in several national magazines, including Life. Lee Ledbetter purchased the modernist masterpiece directly from the family sixteen years after Curtis's death. Ledbetter worked with the Curtis family in support of the building's listing on the National Register of Historic Places, making it the first modern residence in New Orleans—and the first project by Curtis and Davis—to be so recognized.
The house is designed as an inspired pas de deux of interior and exterior spaces individually expressed as solid and glass volumes. The main social areas occupy two glass pavilions sandwiched between four courtyards. In this latest renovation, the kitchen was brought up to date, and an adjacent breakfast room was transformed into a library/study. Lighting throughout the house was also updated to illuminate art. In the back bedroom pavilion, six children's rooms were reconfigured into a pair of guest suites and a master suite. The former master bedroom was redesigned to become a gym and den. Cabinet and door hardware and closet systems were salvaged and reused. All of the changes were closely coordinated with the National Register's review process.
The house's four courtyards underwent extensive renovation: fountains were restored, custom garden lighting was installed, and most of the plant material was replaced with native species. In terms of décor, the scheme was influenced by the dazzling green oaks and the ever-shifting panorama of white clouds and blue sky visible through the clerestory windows. To impart a corresponding liveliness to the interiors, period furnishings and a few antiques were judiciously added to a selection of classic mid-century furnishings original to the house, creating a more diverse, worldly mix. Many of the pieces were reupholstered in blue and citron-yellow fabrics that complement the red-orange hue of the existing walnut millwork.

Roadrunners Reports
Tucson Roadrunners 2018-2019 Season Preview
Roadrunners are set to begin third season on Saturday with lots of surface changes made to the team

After nearly five months of summer in Southern Arizona, AHL Hockey returns to the Old Pueblo this Saturday as the Tucson Roadrunners begin their third season against their "Interstate-8 Rivals" San Diego Gulls.
The last time the Roadrunners and Gulls met, Tucson swept their opponents in the final weekend of the regular season, eliminating San Diego from Calder Cup Playoff contention in the process.
The Roadrunners are also coming off a historic season, claiming both the Pacific Division and Western Conference regular season title, as well as defeating the San Jose Barracuda in the first round of the Calder Cup Playoffs.
This year, however, Tucson will look a little bit different. The team will feature their third head coach in team history, after Mike Van Ryn left to take an assistant coaching job with the St. Louis Blues this off-season. Former Kingston Frontenacs (OHL) coach, Jay Varady will command the bench this season for Tucson.
As a coach for the Frontenacs, Varady led his team to a 36-23-6-3 record and trip to the OHL's Eastern Conference Finals. For the Roadrunners, Varady is the second of head coaches employed from the Ontario Hockey League, after Van Ryn was brought over from the Kitchener Rangers as a development coach for the Coyotes in 2016.
In regards to player personnel, expect to see a lot of returning veterans. Likely returners for the Roadrunners include: Kyle Capobianco, Adin Hill, Jens Looke, Nick Merkley and Dakota Mermis. Meanwhile, other guys like Dylan Strome, Lawson Crouse, Mario Kempe, and Laurent Dauphin are expected to spend at least some time with the Coyotes, but could also potentially see some time back in Tucson, if needed.
After being voted to the 2018 AHL All-Star Classic, Capobianco and Merkley will return as Tucson's key components headed into this season. In only 38 games played with the Roadrunners last season, Merkley was one of the team's top scorers with 18 goals and 21 assists. Capobianco will likely return as a top-4 defenseman alongside Mermis, Dysin Mayo, and Trevor Murphy.
Fans should be very excited to have Adin Hill between the pipes once again. Hill took about half of the games last season alongside backup Hunter Miska, but his stats has shown he's ready for a stronger roll this season. Last year, Hill posted a 2.28 goals-against average and a save percentage of 0.914.
One notable subtraction from last year's team is forward Carter Camper, who was acquired at the trade deadline from the Cleveland Monsters. Camper played 15 games with the Roadrunners and registered a little over a point per game in his brief time in Tucson.
Overall, fans can expect quite a similar team to last year's Roadrunners, minus a couple core players who are just up the road in Glendale. As a development league the AHL can be a revolving door of talent and it is hard to gauge how well a team stacks up until they hit the ice. Expectations are that the Roadrunners will fight for a playoff spot for the second year in a row.
The puck drop for the Roadrunners home opener against San Diego on Saturday is set for 7:05 p.m. at Tucson Arena.


Colour is so very powerful.
It can persuade us to feel a certain way.
It enhances what it touches.
It enhances what we feel and how we remember moments, events and places.
I am addicted to colour.
As a kid I loved to get up really early on a Saturday morning to watch the end of RAGE on abc. Sometimes these colourful graphics or one similar, would be featured on the screen, this was also the case for SBS. Now I know this is pretty weird, but I used to love to sit staring at these colourful squares and rectangles. I used to imagine being able to rearrange some of the colours so that they would be as close as possible to making a rainbow spectrum...I warned you that it would sound weird.
As an artist my style has changed, grown, improved and taken me on many unexpected journeys. I love to look back through my old sketch books and at images of works from the past. It makes me feel happy and it also makes me feel proud of my abilities. Every artwork that I have completed has been an achievement and while I have not always thought so, I can see it all a bit clearer now.
Something else that is almost always guaranteed to happen when looking at past works is an instant flashback to the time that I made the work. I remember the space that I worked in first. Whether it was on the floor listening to music in my bedroom of our old family home, or a desk in my high school art room. I think about that time in my life, where I was working, where I was living, who I was spending my time with and mostly how it felt to be in that moment of just making art. Completely relaxed and in my element.
When people ask me where the ideas for my artworks come from I always find this hard to explain. Ideas come from everything. If everything that we see is really stored in our subconscious mind, how can we possibly know exactly where an idea comes from. We might know what triggers an idea, but ultimately it changes so rapidly it becomes something entirely different to what the first trigger ever suggested.
When I sit in front of a blank canvas to start a new painting all I take with me and all that I know is the colours I wish to use. These are often a combination of colours and often colours that I feel work well together...but this is entirely in my own opinion. Using one colour can be so limiting, but using different shades of one colour is instantly opening up more and more possibilities. For me one colour is rarely enough and multiple shades are also too limiting.
It has to come from the mood I am in, or a need to 'colour' my day with something bright, energetic, colourful and really something that will make me feel good to look at.
I could talk about colour all day...but I won't!
Every artwork that I have produced this year and since taking leave from full time teaching, has taken a little longer to complete than the works I have created over the past two years. This is mostly due to TIME and having far more of it. I can see a lot more strength in my work this year and I do realise that that strength comes from me, because we are what we make.
No artist can be removed from their work, just like no person can be removed from their lives. Where we end up and how we got here may often seem like a blur but every path that we took we actively chose. At the time we made those decisions we did so for many reasons, but regardless we did it.
Finding what makes you most fulfilled in life is a journey, but one I strongly believe we often know within ourselves as children. If I had have followed the dreams I had as a child I would have perhaps come to call myself a full time artist many years ago. Or perhaps I did follow them and perhaps I am arriving at my ultimate destination now. My journey has been incredible and certainly one worth reflecting on. Everything I know, everything that I have seen and chosen, accomplished and failed at has brought me to this time. Recognising this and acknowledging it 'publicly' is pretty weird and scary, but showing my work to the public and sharing images on all sorts of social media outlets is in no way different to sharing my personal thoughts on life...well some of them anyway.
So the exhibition I have been eagerly awaiting and preparing for is going to be installed on Friday at D-Bar Gallery in Coolangatta. 'Insight' is all about life and the journey. I have tried my best to communicate where I currently am and the view I am taking in. If you look closely at my owl eyes you will see mountain silhouettes, and yes I do live on a Mountain, however it is representative of heights and achievements. I am in the mood for celebrating mine, so hopefully each piece conveys lots of positivity, fulfilment and some kind of wisdom.
D-Bar Gallery has been supporting my art since mid way through last year after I approached them and showed them my work. It is a relaxed gallery space with many great wares on offer and I am really excited to see my new works up together in the main space.
I have decided to skip holding an opening night as I feel it is too much to ask of people, especially after plugging 'Empowerment' for three long months. Many people feel pressured to support art by going along to event openings and I certainly don't intend on doing that. So if you like what you have seen of my newest pieces than by all means get down to D-Bar and check them out in the flesh. The show runs from April 27th - May 30th and the gallery is open 7 days a week. The helpful staff will handle all enquiries and sales and I will be in store on Saturday (27th April) from 10am-12pm to talk to viewers that make the trek.
I will be sure to post some pictures of the collection once it is up and COLOURING IN the walls.

Man Who Allegedly Shot Desert Hot Springs Homeowner Charged With Attempted Murder
Desert Hot Springs, CA
A man who allegedly broke into a Desert Hot Springs residence and shot the homeowner multiple times, then led police on a chase, was charged today with attempted murder, carjacking, robbery and evading arrest.
Altonia Vontae Jackson Jr., 22, was scheduled to be arraigned at the Indio courthouse this afternoon on charges stemming from the morning home invasion that left Domenic "Butch" Tallarita hospitalized in critical condition at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs. The victim was shot five times,
including in the head, around 6:45 a.m. Sunday at his home in the 9700 block of Vista Del Valle.
Responding officers spotted Jackson fleeing on a motorcycle and gave chase, according to police. The pursuit, which went through Desert Hot Springs and North Palm Springs, ended with his arrest on Indian Canyon Drive, just south of Interstate 10.

The suspect was allegedly trying to steal a dirt bike out of Tallarita's garage just before the shots rang out, according to a GoFundMe page set up by the victim's family members and friends, who are attempting to raise $20,000 to help cover his expenses.

"Butch is an amazing man and would give anything to anyone no questions asked," the page reads. "We appreciate everyone of you who has been there for us during this hard time. We are confident he will make it through this."
On Tuesday, Tallarita's family reported progress in his recovery, saying he was moving his arms and responding to his brother's voice.
Jackson was being held at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning in lieu of $2.1 million bail, according to jail records.

Empowering everyone to be 100% themselves at work
We want everyone to feel comfortable being themselves in the workplace and able to reach their full potential. With this in mind, we entered the UK Stonewall Workplace Equality Index in 2019, which has helped us to understand how to move forward and where to focus our efforts. We've been busy since then, launching our Trans Equality and Transitioning at Work Guide, holding workshops on LGBT+ inclusion (both on and offline) and increasing the number of development opportunities for our LGBT+ people and allies. And we won't stop there, we're always searching ways to help AXA become a more inclusive workplace.

More than 2/3 of workers say they're disengaged from their jobs, and don't have much enthusiasm and commitment when they're at work.
The findings of that 2016 study by LinkedIn and Imperative are pretty shocking.
We can help. Transcend's mission is to create stronger workplace culture, and we do that by asking employees lots of questions about what they love and loathe about the space where they spend most of their waking hours.
Let's talk about how we can help your company build a better culture.

WHO: Spread of Ebola to DRC's Goma Could be 'Game-Changer'

The head of the World Health Organization warns the spread of Ebola to a large city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo could have dire consequences. The WHO chief spoke Monday at a high-level meeting that examined current efforts to contain the growing Ebola epidemic in Congo.
The Ebola outbreak in Congo's conflict-ridden North Kivu and Ituri provinces is the second largest after the historic 2014 epidemic that killed 11,300 people in West Africa.
As the first anniversary of the DRC epidemic draws near, the WHO reports nearly 2,500 people have been infected with the virus and 1,665 people have died.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the effort to stop the spread of the disease has received another blow with the news that the first case of Ebola had been detected in the eastern Congolese city of Goma.
He says WHO was informed Sunday that a pastor who had traveled from Butembo was infected with the deadly virus.
The identification of the case in Goma could potentially be a game changer in this epidemic," he said. "Goma is a city of two million people, near the border with Rwanda, and is a gateway to the region and the world. We are confident in the measures we have put in place and hope that we will see no further transmission of Ebola in Goma.
But Tedros agrees he cannot be sure of that. And, so, he says he will reconvene a WHO Emergency Committee as soon as possible to determine whether Ebola in the DRC poses a global health threat.
The co-chair of this high-level conference, U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator Mark Lowcock, considers a lack of funding and eastern Congo's dangerous security environment to be the two biggest threats to the anti-Ebola campaign.
Recently, two Ebola responders were murdered in their home in the Congolese city of Beni.
On the financial front, he notes less than half of the money needed to run the Ebola containment operation has been received, leaving a funding gap of $50 million.
Lowcock warns it will not be possible to get to zero cases unless there's a big upturn in the response.
If we do not get an increase in the funding available, treatment centers are going to close," he said. "There will be fewer teams to conduct training or to give life-saving vaccinations. There will be fewer mobile teams available to immediately investigate, isolate, treat and trace each new case no matter where the disease pops up.
Participants at the meeting agree on the urgent need to stop the Ebola virus now.
They say Goma is a warning that will test the health community's response, preparedness and ultimate ability to prevent further cases of Ebola in that big urban center.

Rich Kemper is a member of the Riverview Chamber of Commerce.
Please click on the link below to see some of the testimonials from past clients Rich has helped purchase or sell a home. Rich has helped his clients achieve their real estate goal with success and satisfaction from his effort and the wonderful service he provides.
I was looking for a realtor who was proactive and could sell my house quickly as we lived out of state and wouldn't be around to monitor the house while it was empty. Rich was a great choice and I would recommend him to anyone wishing to sell a house! He was very thorough when we met, helped us establish a reasonable asking price (higher than I expected) and explained everything about the process. He told us he thought the house would sell in less than 30 days and we were cautiously optimistic about that! We received two offers only a week after it going on the market, and sold the house for more than the asking price. Since we were out of town, Rich went well above and beyond by arranging for inspections, minor repairs and yard maintenance until the house closed. He is a consummate professional and kept in touch with us throughout the process. It was a pleasure working with him and I'd do it again if we return to Florida!
Just a note to say thanks for doing such a great job in selling my Mother's home. To have an offer on the first day, the house sold in eight days and at full list price, is truly a remarkable feat.
I would also like to thank you for your professionalism in keeping me informed and the process on track as we moved toward the closing. Always knew what was going on and where I stood which was comforting.
Would be happy to act as a reference should you desire one, and would use no other realtor but you in the future.
His thoroughness was evident in how he handled the buying and selling of my homes. He is someone I was able to put my trust in, knowing that he would work on my behalf to get me the best deals possible.
The desire to sell your property quickly when you finally decide to sell your property is always high. I figured that it would take a few months to sell my condo, but hoped that I could sell it in a months time. Fortunately, I chose the best agent I have ever dealt with. He was able to sell in less than a month, even in a unstable market. His advice and his determination to please his clients and put them first was unmatched. If you want to sell your home then Rich Kemper is your Man. I highly recommend him.
I was trying to sell my house for sale by owner. Rich came by my house one Saturday and introduced himself and asked me if he could help me sell my house. He called me several times over the next few weeks. My wife and I were talking one night and she said that maybe we should call him as we weren't really having any luck on our own. We listed our home with Rich and we had a contract in just a few months. Rich was an awesome negotiator and got us top dollar for our home. He is our realtor for life as long as we live in this area.
I just wanted to write you a quick note thanking you so much for helping us find a rental in FishHawk. I can't believe you hung in there with us for six months until we found the place we wanted. We love the community and as soon as we are ready to purchase a home we will call you. In the mean time we will certainly pass your name on to anyone who we come in contact with who is looking to sell their home or buy a home. My daughter will be next! Thanks again.
I still remember the night I called you and was impressed that you answered your phone on a Friday night after 9pm. I was so frustrated with the other realtor I was working with. I couldn't believe how by noon the next day you were ready to show us houses. We love the new home you helped us to find. What a great deal on a new home in a gated community. I never thought I would live in a gated community with a pool. We appreciate everything you did for us.
Thanks for all your help! We are all moved into our new home here in Massachusetts and Ray, the realtor you referred us to here, was just as good as you! I still can't believe our home in FishHawk sold in 7 days. You are our realtor if we ever move back to Florida. I'll make sure to give your name and number to anyone I run into that is thinking of moving to the Tampa area.
I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Rich Kemper as our realtor on our recent purchase of a single-family bank owned home. Throughout the entire process Rich was professional, conscientious, and motivated. I often felt as though I was his only client. It was very apparent that he had significant experience and knowledge of the market and was quite knowledgeable of the area. Rich was very helpful in guiding us in setting an acceptable price and setting up open houses. He offered us an objective viewpoint on each house we toured, thereby helping us with our decisions. He was always expedient in returning our calls, We are nothing but pleased with Rich and his expertise and we recommend him to everyone.
I had listed my property as a "for sale by owner" off and on for over a year with no showings. Rich, seeing my sign, contacted me and offered to sell my house and I listed it with his agency and was very pleased with the results. I had a contract signed within 3 months during a very difficult time to sell a home. He was very responsive to questions and concerns I had. And considering I had moved out of state well before the closing, Rich was able keep me informed of any issues and the progress of the closing. I would gladly recommend Rich to anyone looking to sell their home. The knowledge and experience was quite evident and extremely helpful to me.
My husband and I had an investment property that we were ready to sell. Rich did a very comprehensive analysis of what we should list it for based on the other properties in the neighborhood that had sold and were listed. Since this was going to close as a short sale, choosing the right price was crucial. Rich's listing price was right on the money. We didn't have to move much to get lots of traffic and the final sale price was within 10k of where we started. I would recommend Rich to represent any buyer or seller as he is tenacious for his clients.
Rich stays right with you from beginning to the very end. He is very calm, and calming when necessary. I also think he lists your house with the best price he thinks the market will bear. He does lots of research on comparables and if there really are none, looks at houses that are in your same "sample" to get a price that will help you sell your house. The best reference we can give him is that we sold our house in 4 days, with a full price offer and we got a full price appraisal. We highly recommend Mr. Kemper as your next realtor.
Rich has gone over and above for me and my family to try and meet our specific needs. He truly has a strong commitment for his work and his clients. He is knowledgeable and will not waste your time.
I have known Rich for a couple of years now. I have sent friends and clients to him for both buying and selling of homes. Our friends were looking for the perfect home to buy. He was patient, listened to them as they were very specific in what they wanted. He found them their dream home and they are very happy. I have recommended him to my clients to sell their homes. They had spoken to other agents who just wanted to list at any price just to make the sale. He was able to sell their homes at the price they wanted and made them very, very happy. I would and still recommend him to everyone I meet if they are looking for a professional and honest person to help them with their home buying and selling needs. He is truly the best in the business.
Very knowledgeable and experienced, pursues the deal, communicates effectively.
Rich Kemper is truly dedicated to providing personalized professional service to his clients – this is evident in his interaction throughout the process. He is always there for his client – ensuring that they are getting what they want. A true professional who cares!
Rich has been there for a couple of my friends and helped them get into the houses they wanted instead of settling for something they really weren't crazy about. Rich can always seem to find what they were looking for.
Rich provided great insight and advice, from start to finish; it was a very positive experience. Note – same last name, but no relation.
Rich knows the business well and has the patience to withstand the twists and turns one may encounter with a short sale. He will work hard to make sure that all I's are dotted and T's are crossed. He is punctual and thorough; always dresses and conducts himself as a true professional in the industry and has the network of professionals that provide related services – title insurance, negotiators, attorneys, inspectors, etc.
Now that the real estate transaction is done, I'd like to say thank you.
As you know, this was an extremely difficult transaction for me. I was thrown into an uncomfortable situation when my sister passed away. Since I live in Illinois and she lived in Florida, I had visions of many ongoing nightmares. Luckily for me, I was referred to you through a BNI contact in Illinois.
During my short time in Florida, you gained my confidence from the start. You have a very approachable personality with a take charge confidence. I never doubted your professionalism or end result goal.
The sale of a deceased person's home in Florida is quite complicated, but you had answers to the difficult questions or knew the right sources to contact.
In addition to the legal matters, you were very helpful in recommending some necessary repairs to add sales appeal and had contractors ready to come in and do the work.
When I returned to Illinois, I felt comfortable that you were there for me. I knew you would keep my (actually my sister's) best interest in mind at all times. You kept me informed from the time the house was listed to (thankfully) the closing. You guided me through the negotiations of the sales contract but left the final decision to me.
I realize you are aware of all of these things since you do them with every one of your clients, but I want you to know that I appreciate your high standards and outstanding work ethic.
I wish you continued success. Actually, I am confident you will be successful if you continue to treat clients the way you handled my situation.
