Effective Monday, July 15, 2019, Town officials will resume the sale of daily access passes into Freeman Park. Daily access passes will only be sold on weekdays (Monday – Friday) and can only be purchased at the entrance of the park.
Entry to the park on weekends will still be restricted to annual permit holders. The effects of tides and erosion still exist, and the northern areas of Freeman Park remain closed to all vehicular traffic.
Intermittent closures could still be possible based on limited beach area and level of patron use. Public safety staff will perform assessments daily to determine when additional sections of the park can safely be opened, or if additional closures are required.
Until further notice, the following limitations have been set:
1. Only the following vehicles will be allowed into the park:
a. Monday-Friday: Vehicles purchasing daily passes, and;
b. Monday-Sunday: Vehicles with an annual permit
permanently affixed to the windshield, and;
c. Monday-Sunday: Vehicles associated with an existing
camping reservation south of the closure area (maximum of
2 vehicles per campsite).
2. Camping will be limited to designated spaces south of the closure area. Campers with reservations are urged to call 1-866-330-7275 to verify continued availability.
3. No vehicles are allowed past marked closures. Anyone driving past a designated closure will be issued a citation. Visitors of the park may still walk past closure points.
4. No vehicle shall operate or park in the tidal zone (wet sand area).
5. Lifeguards will only patrol areas of Freeman Park where vehicles are allowed.
6. Intermittent closures are anticipated to occur due to limited beach area and level of patron use.

Safe Trade Station Established in Carolina Beach
The Carolina Beach Police Department has established a location for trade, bartering and sales transactions. Popular online trade sites such as Facebook Market Place, Craigslist, Offer Up and Letgo provide users opportunities to sell and exchange goods and services. Carolina Beach PD is the only Safe Trade Station in the Wilmington metropolitan area and one of thirteen in N.C.
"While these transactions provide our community an opportunity to resale and repurpose useful items, some may hesitate because of safety concerns. These locations offer a safe alternative for individuals to meet and perform trade or sales transactions," said Chief Chris Spivey.
The established Safe Trade Station is located at the Carolina Beach Police Department, 1121 North Lake Park Blvd, Carolina Beach. The area has clearly posted Safe Trade signage in a well-lit area with 24-hour surveillance cameras. Additionally, this location has a high volume of vehicular traffic and commercial businesses.
Safe Trade patrons are welcome to perform transactions in the front lobby of the police department Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. The department lobby is unavailable on weekends and holidays.

"Sea Lice" Information
Annually, around this time of year as water temperatures begin to warm up, thimble jellyfish begin to spawn and we see an increase in what is known as "sea lice" in local beach waters. Sea lice are tiny marine life larvae that can sting and cause a red, itchy rash. While some swimmers report feeling a slight prickling sensation when in the water, the rash condition typically appears after a swimmer has showered or has dried off with a towel (within 4-24 hours).
It is still safe to swim in the ocean during the season, just be aware of how to treat the signs. If you notice a rash on you or a family member, rinse in clean warm water-do not rub with a towel as it will only aggravate the sting. Use some type of over-the-counter topical anti-itch ointment such as hydrocortisone or colloidal oatmeal cream to calm the itch.
If you have questions or need more information about sea lice, please contact Ocean Rescue Captain Chad Soward at (910) 458-2985 or email@example.com.

Crosswalk Lights Installed-Harper Ave/Dow RdAfter coordination and approval through the NCDOT, the planned improvements to the existing crosswalk at the intersection of Dow Rd. and Harper Ave. have been completed.
The new solar-powered signals are activated by a pedestrian push button, emitting LED signals to drivers on Dow Road and warning of pedestrians and cyclists in the crosswalk area. The signals are to draw attention to the users of the crosswalk and encourage drivers to stop while they cross the road.
NCDOT did not approve of and disallowed supplemental early warning beacons that would have been located a distance ahead of the crosswalk, stating that they confuse the drivers about the location of the actual crosswalk.
35 MPH-Speed Limit Changed on N Lake Park BlvdAt the regular meeting in January, Town Council approved changing the speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph on N Lake Park Blvd from the Dow Rd. intersection to 600 feet north of Access Road (just before the bridge heading north). CLICK HERE to view Resolution No. 18-2172.
New signs have been installed and the 35 mph speed limit is now in effect. Please be mindful of this change when driving on that section of N. Lake Park Blvd.
If you have any questions please contact Town Manager, Michael Cramer (910)458-2994.

Council Hears Recommendations on System Development Fees
Following an August 2016 ruling by the NC Supreme Court regarding impact fees, the General Assembly of North Carolina enacted House Bill 436, which established a new "System Development Fee" that allows all governmental entities to assess fees for the recovery of capital costs associated with development and new growth. The bill also established a process and specifications that the governments need to meet in order to enact the new fees.
The Town hired Willdan Financial Services to develop the Town's new "System Development Fees". At the Council Workshop on March 27th, Daryll Parker with Willdan provided an overview of the recommended System Development Fees. CLICK HERE to view the presentation and recommendations given to council.
Improved CRS Rating Results in Discounts for Flood Insurance Premiums
Each year, the Town of Carolina Beach is audited for the Community Rating System (CRS) by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). The CRS evaluates all ordinances, policies and operational responsibilities that the Town performs in relation to managing and implementing a flood protection program, then assigns a score of 1 to 10. A lower score helps provide our citizens with a reduction in the cost of their flood insurance premiums.
Presently, there are 3,576 flood policies in Carolina Beach, and the Town's current Class 7 rating provides Carolina Beach citizens with a 15% discount for policy holders. This means that we help save policy holders a total of $522,814.00 per year on flood insurance premiums. The 2017 CRS study indicates that we will be moving to a Class 6 rating, which will increase the discount to 20%, meaning we will help policy holders save a total of $703,604 on flood insurance premiums.
Jeremy Hardison, the Town's Senior Planner, is the person responsible for managing the CRS system in Carolina Beach, and he has done a great job improving our rating and increasing the savings for our citizens by $180,790 dollars this year. CLICK HERE to view a copy of the preliminary results letter from the ISO, along with a draft copy of the Verification Report.
If you have questions regarding the CRS information, please contact Jeremy Hardison at (910) 458-2991 or email@example.com.

Following the discovery of GenX, the Town of Carolina Beach decided to test its water source as a precautionary measure. Two independent companies were used to test random water samples from wells used for the Carolina Beach's water supply. The companies were able to test for amounts as small as 2 to 4 parts per trillion (ppt). Both companies found no detection of GenX in the water samples.
In an effort to help provide context for health risks associated with GenX, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has established a health goal of 140 ppt. This goal is not a distinction between safe and unsafe levels, but is a level of contamination below which no adverse health effects would be expected over a lifetime of exposure.
If you have any questions, please contact Assistant Town Manager, Ed Parvin, (910) 458-2526.
Over the past couple of weeks, the New Hanover County community has heard a lot of talk about the presence of an unregulated compound called GenX in the surface water of the Cape Fear River Basin. The study conducted by the NC State University professors and reported by The Star News are based on surface water and not ground water tests. GenX has not been found in groundwater. The Town of Carolina Beach receives all of its drinking water from the Pee Dee and Castle Hayne groundwater aquifers.
In the past, the Town of Carolina Beach has been part of many EPA authorized monitoring studies over the years in an effort to help identify and detect regulated and unregulated compounds in the Town's water supply. In December 2014 and May 2015, the Town allowed our water to be tested by the EPA and Eurofins Eaton Analytical, Inc. for monitoring tests looking at 21 different types of chemicals, including those related to GenX. Only 1 of the 21 compounds, Strontium, resulted in a detection level at or above the testing level. Strontium is a naturally occurring element on the Periodic table and is present in most groundwater. GenX compounds were not detected in the Pee Dee or Castle Hayne groundwater aquifers used by the Town of Carolina Beach.
The Town of Carolina Beach drinking water continues to meet all state and federal drinking water standards and is safe to drink. For more information about the Town of Carolina Beach drinking water please review our Water Quality Report at http://www.carolinabeach.org/CCR2016.pdf.

David Reviews
The three directors selected by Homespun Yarns to turn their pitches into films have been announced.
Jelly London have strengthened their ranks by signing paper craft expert Hattie Newman and self-taught animator Allen Laseter.
Partizan Studio are pleased to announce the signing of Italian animation outfit Nerdo to their roster.
Flame artist Richard Russell - otherwise known as 'Stretch' - has joined the growing team at Big Buoy.
As they look to compete with the bigger companies in their realm, persuading Andy Humphreys to join Bark Soho was a significant coup for the sound design company. It also provided DAVID with an excellent excuse to pop into Bark's Soho studio and meet Humphreys and Simon Elms. Between them, they revealed how the twin proposition of Bark and sister company Eclectic has created an holistic offer for their advertising clients.
The sound design wing of the business was previously known as Greek Street Studios, but when they relocated to Flaxman Court - just off Wardour Street - Simon Elms felt it was the right time to change the name. As well as making it less likely that clients would show up at the wrong address, it provided the company with an opportunity to rethink its identity and - according to Elms - give the company "a much better name".
in 1988, 80% of all of all advertising was composed, and now it's 20%. Everybody wants famous music.
Sister company Eclectic was established in 2008 and over the eleven years of its existence, Elms has witnessed a significant shift in the way music for commercials is sourced. Declining revenue from sales to the public has meant record companies are eager to build new sources of revenue and instead of being disdainful of the advertising industry as they were in the last century, they now openly court it.
"I heard a figure the other day from an American musicologist," says Elms, " he said that in 1988, 80% of all of all advertising was composed, and now it's 20%. Everybody wants famous music."
It was this shift which persuaded Eclectic to open its sound design business and it immediately strengthened their proposition. Not least because it became possible for them to deal with all the audio components of a project under one roof.
Simon Elms: "It was brilliant, things that were taking weeks toing and froing from sound design to mixing, back to the music, and so on... now we've got one studio working on the music, one studio working on the mix, and we can literally walk into the next room. For advertising projects, it really makes sense."
The hook up with Bark was far more interesting and presents a whole lot more opportunities than being a one man band.
It was the arrival of Andy Humphreys though that really beefed up Bark Soho's sound design proposition. He's built an enviable reputation during his time at 750MPH and is one of the most respected sound engineers in the business. He too has witnessed a significant shift in his realm with competition now being provided by freelancers for the first time.
"Things are more transportable... the need for a studio has always been a big barrier to entry." It still is for a lot of projects but, "certainly for track laying and all the sound designer elements, you can get by with a laptop and a pair of headphones if you choose to... but most of the guys who have gone freelance have got some kind of setup at home."
Nonetheless, this wasn't an approach which appealed to Humphreys: "The hook up with Bark was far more interesting and presents a whole lot more opportunities than being a one man band."
The holistic offer of Eclectic and Bark has enabled the two companies to become involved in projects outside of the advertising realm, and it's clear from the way they speak about it that this is something which enthuses both Elms and Humphreys.
"We did three feature docs last year," says Elms, "one about a mafia supergrass, one about a long distance swimmer, and another about a football player."
Their main arena is still commercials though and - with Andy Humphreys on board - they're looking forward to a bright future.

Great Ocean Road To Eclipse Great Barrier Reef For Diving After Sinking Of Warship
By Geelong Otway Tourism
The Great Ocean Road is to eclipse the Great Barrier Reef for diving once the sinking of the de-commissioned Australian warship - the HMAS Canberra - takes place in order to form an artificial reef, according to local dive operator.
Sunday, 9 August 2009 — Geelong, Victoria — The Great Ocean Road is to eclipse the Great Barrier Reef for diving once the sinking of the de-commissioned Australian warship — the HMAS Canberra — takes place, in order to form an artificial reef, according to local dive operator.
Diving in the Great Ocean Road region is to be enhanced significantly once the proposed sinking of the de-commissioned Australian warship, the HMAS Canberra, to form an artificial reef takes place.
"You already have the situation where this area is rich in sea life, probably the richest in Australia and certainly far more than the Great Barrier Reef," says local dive operator Jason Salter, Queenscliff Dive Centre.
"That's because you have the waters of the Pacific mixing with those of the Southern Ocean so you get both warm water species and cold water species."
"The sinking of the Canberra to create a reef is going to make the diving experience even more fantastic?they are not stripping it completely so there will be quite a lot for divers to explore."
According to Salter, even when the air temperature is at its coldest, diving still takes place along the Great Ocean Road.
"In many ways it?s probably the best time," Salter says, "The conditions are a bit calmer, the water's nice and clear."
The HMAS Canberra arrived in Geelong in June 2008. It was towed from Rockingham, WA, and will be far from the only wreck along the coastline when it meets its watery grave, the exact location of which is yet to be finalised.
"There are many, many wrecks," Salter says.
"Some were scuttled, some were sunk in tragic circumstances. They are all great for diving."
One of the more popular wrecks — is that of the old Port Phillip Bay steamer, the Ozone. Salter agrees wholeheartedly.
"It's one of the easier places to get to," he says.
Unluckily, on her maiden voyage in 1886 out of Port Melbourne, she crashed into the Queenscliff Pier and damaged part of the paddle box before embarking on a 39-year shift bringing thousands of holiday makers, party-goers, and day trippers to the Bellarine Peninsula.
Becoming representational of the region, one Queenscliff hotelier was so impressed with the 260 foot long boat capable of holding up to 800 merry-makers, he re-named his hotel in honour of her. Still standing today, the Queenscliff hotel is an excellent example of Victorian architecture.
Unfortunately, a downturn in trade in 1917, caused in part by the First World War, forced The Ozone's owners to withdraw her from service.
In 1925, The Ozone was sold to a ship breaker who stripped her of all her fittings.
What was left was towed to Indented Head on the Bellarine Peninsula and sunk in Half Moon Bay to form a breakwater. Today, the skeleton of the Ozone makes a regular appearance at low tide and is also part of the attraction of a visit to the long foreshore.
Though behind schedule — the sinking was due to take place earlier this year in March — it is anticipated that the addition of the HMAS Canberra will enhance the rich array of sea life already established in the region.
Says Salter, "I would say that one of the best places in Australia, for breadth of diving opportunities, is the Great Ocean Road."
The Great Ocean Road is a haven for sports such as diving, fishing, surfing, walking, hiking, and cycling with a plethora of flora and fauna and marine life to see.
For the complete range of activities to do whilst on holidays in the Great Ocean Road go to the official website for the Geelong Otway Region of the Great Ocean Road visitgreatoceanroad.org.au

You've probably heard of Roxana Saberi, an Iranian-American radio journalist and author convicted and sentenced to eight years in prison in Iran for spying. Both her family and Washington insist that the allegations are unfounded.
Saberi marked her 32nd birthday in jail last week, and yesterday her father, Reza Saberi said that she was now into her second week on a hunger strike, in which she takes only sugared water, and that despite the health threats would keep up her protest until she is released.
This BBC report details her current situation.
A global movement has sprung up to protest Saberi's detention. You can find numerous suggestions for helping win her release at FreeRoxana.net. The Committee to Protect Journalists is also conducting an international campaign on her behalf mobilizing activists worldwide to send letters to Iranian officials calling for Saberi's release.
You may also have read about the cases of two reporters for Current TV, Euna Lee and Laura Ling (the latter the sister of The View host Lisa Ling), charged with similar crimes in North Korea and facing just as difficult and veiled a judicial process. They were arrested on March 17 near the North Korean border while reporting on refugees living in China. North Korean officials said on March 31 that the reporters would be indicted on charges of "illegal entry" and perpetrating "hostile acts" against the Communist state.
President Obama said last Friday that his administration was "especially concerned" about the detention of the journalists.
"We are… especially concerned about the citizens from our own country currently under detention abroad: individuals such as Roxana Saberi in Iran, and Euna Lee and Laura Ling in North Korea," Obama said in a statement marking World Press Freedom Day on May 3.
But concerned bloggers have countered by calling on Obama to demand that both North Korea and Iran free these journalists immediately. Gotham Chopra recently suggested ways to help the three detainees in an article on the Huffington Post.
There's also a Facebook page on behalf of Saberi and a Free Roxanna Twitter feed, which will keep you abreast of her case and how you can continue to help. And despite the fact that supporters of Lee and Ling seem to be taking a quieter, back-channel approach in their efforts to free them, an unofficial Facebook page in support of Lee and Ling is also chronicling updates on the case.
Saberi, Lee and Ling's detentions underscore the critical importance of a functional, independent media and shows to what lengths governments still go to silence reporters. As Thomas Jefferson famously said 222 years ago:
"The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
This quote has been widely employed by writers recently seeking to establish the importance of print, and numerous bloggers like TechDirt and Hi. I'm Mike have rightly retorted that our third president was talking about journalism, not strictly newspapers. So it's safe to assume that Jefferson would consider the arrests of TV journalists Lee and Ling and radio reporter Saberi as threats to democracy which we all would do well to protest and combat.

As alternative fuels continue to gain traction in the automotive world, Macomb Community College is working on educating and training its current and future workforce.
MCC, which last month introduced a new Center for Alternative Fuels on its Warren campus, is co-hosting its first Alternative Fuels Symposium and Expo Thursday at the new center.
The event, co-sponsored by Automation Alley and Crains Detroit Business, is expected to bring together members of the automotive industry including manufacturers, suppliers, dealers and mechanics along with government officials and the public, to discuss issues involved in the commercialization of alternative-fuel vehicles, MCC Provost Don Ritzenhein said.
David Cole, chairman of the nonprofit Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, will deliver the luncheon keynote address on the auto industry and alternative-fuel vehicles. Also speaking is Edward Lapham, editor of Crains sister publication Automotive News.
Morning and afternoon breakout sessions, meanwhile, will feature topics including consumer acceptance, information for repair technicians and collision shops, the Big Threes alternative-fuel partnership, and the environmental impact.
I dont think theres anything hotter in the marketplace today than alternative fuels, and the (colleges new center) will certainly focus on a variety of alternative fuels, including natural gas, hydrogen and biofuels, Automation Alley Executive Director Ken Rogers said. Its an opportunity to get tuned in to whats going on in alternative-fuel technologies.
Along with updating industry professionals and educating the public, the event also will introduce mechanics and technicians to required training and potential opportunities in servicing alternative-fuel vehicles, said Dan Radomski, director of market development for Detroit-based nonprofit NextEnergy.
(Flexible-fuel), hybrid and hydraulic-hybrid are making their way to commercial readiness, Radomski said. As they come into play, its going to have a huge effect on the aftermarket.
Macomb Community College is one of the few (entities) that has taken an active leadership role in trying to educate the public and the workforce, he said.
Southeast Michigan and Cleveland are expected to serve soon as testing grounds for a UPS hydraulic-hybrid delivery truck pilot program. The program, announced in early 2005, was developed and rolled out by UPS, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Eaton Corp., International Truck and Engine Corp. and the U.S Army National Automotive Center to test the use of delivery trucks in urban areas. Hydraulic-hybrid engines can achieve an improvement in fuel economy of up to 70 percent and a 40 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, he said.
NextEnergy and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers also are co-hosting a conference next month involving alternative fuels and energies. The event, Tomorrows Energy Today!, set for Oct. 23-25 at NextEnergy and the Ford Conference Center in Dearborn, is expected to bring together people from around the world who use alternative-energy systems along with those working to develop the technologies, Radomski said.
The Center for Alternative Fuels at MCC also will be the site of the colleges educational initiatives, Ritzenhein said. The center, headquartered in the Robert E. Turner Advanced Technology Center, was started with a $100,000 investment, a portion of which went towards minor renovations to the existing complex. The curriculum was developed with Wayne State Universitys Division of Engineering Technology, as part of a $299,000 National Science Foundation grant supporting integrated education and industrial training.
The center will offer students applied skills to repair and deal with vehicles now being built that use alternative-energy sources, Ritzenhein said.
MCC, which already has the largest auto-tech program among community colleges in the state, will in this way continue in the business of training students to become certified, Ritzenhein said.
As alternative fuels begin to take more and more prominence it seemed a natural evolution for us to build on our existing strength and move into a serious training program, he said.
Ritzenhein also said the college hopes the center will become a think tank for those in the industry to discuss the future of alternative-fuel vehicles and carve out public policy.
Cost is $45 to attend the Alternative Fuels Symposium and Expo. For more information or to register, call (800) 427-5100, or visit www.macomb.edu/Alternative Fuels/default.asp.

Kylie Jenner Is Releasing A Range Of Maternity Wear For Other Expectant Mothers
She's taken over the beauty world with her groundbreaking Lip Kits and if new reports are true, Kylie Jenner is also about to take over the world of maternity wear with her own line of clothing for pregnant ladies.
Radar Online confirms that the 20-year-old reality star is currently working on a $420 million range of maternity wear, inspired by the fact that she is obvs pregnant.
"Kylie is doing a maternity line," a Kardashian insider told the publication.
"She is really excited about it, because she knows that everything she touches turns to gold."
Kylie's older sisters have been selling bb clothes for years now but Kylie thinks that a range of fire threads for mummys-to-be would be an excellent addition to her empire.
"She is so excited to show off her new clothes, she just loves them," the source adds.
Unsurprisingly, the ~genius~ idea was hatched by Momager Kris Jenner.
"Kris really knows how to make money," says the insider.
"Kylie is her cash cow now and her maternity line really made sense."
"Kris wants to make sure that the baby is taken care of forever."
Given the fact that Kylie Jenner is now the second highest paid member of the Kardashian Klan, we're thinking the bub is gonna have a V cushy life!

Quarterback - Mark Sanchez - (Position Rank - 30)
(Passing) NA
(Rushing) NA
The only way Sanchez is a worthy draft pick even in the late rounds is if he starts and you are in a keeper league. Even then I would not suggest it. It is rare that a quarterback is worthy of a keeper position, though that would depend on your leagues keeper rules.
Running Back - ???? - (Position Rank - ?)
(Rushing) NA
(Receiving) NA
There are few areas in the NFL that are as unknown as the Jets Running Back situation. Thomas Jones always does well and yet teams never like keeping him in a starting position. Leon Washington is a strong choice to take over Jones place. Both Jones and Washington are having Contract disputes with the Jets front office. Meanwhile, rookie Shonn Greene is picking up speed even though he is hampered with an ankle injury. Right now I would stay away from the Jets backfield unless you are in dire straits for a running back.
Wide Receiver - Jerricho Cotchery - (Position Rank - 40)
(Receiving) 75 Catches, 900 Yards, 5 TD, 1 Fumbles
Cotchery is the only veteran receiver on the team with any real experience. He has no receivers to cause fear to draw attention away from him and his quarterbacks are far from making him a huge threat.
Wide Receiver - Chansi Stuckey - (Position Rank - 48)
Wide Receiver - David Clowney - (Position Rank - ?)
(Receiving) 60 Catches, 700 Yards, 6 TD, 0 Fumbles
Right now it looks like Stuckey is the favored to win the #2 receiver spot on the Jets, but Clowney has of late come on strong. Clowney has shown good hands recently and has real speed.
Tight End - Dustin Keller - (Position Rank - 14)
(Receiving) 55 Catches, 600 Yards, 4 TD, 0 Fumbles
If a few teams took a second TE and you still need one, Keller is not a bad option. Just dont count him in your top ten.

Amy will be presenting her one-woman autobiographical musical Gutless & Grateful at the MHA's 2016 Annual Conference: Media, Messaging and Mental Health.
Learn more about her mental health advocacy & sexual assault awareness prevention program for college campuses, and help spread mental health awareness around the world by donating here.
MHA's 2016 Annual Conference: Media, Messaging and Mental Health will take an in-depth look at the impact and influence of media and the entertainment industry on the complex issues of mental health and mental illness. With a particular focus on the entertainment industry, the digital landscape, and the press, we will explore the good and the bad of portrayals on the big and small screen; how the digital landscape is revolutionizing how we deal with mental health; how celebrity can be used to influence the conversation; how messaging and language can sometimes contribute to and perpetuate the destructive stigma and discrimination of people living with mental illness; and how mental health advocates can work together to change the conversation. Check out the fantastic agenda!
Mental Health America (MHA) – founded in 1909 – is the nation's leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to addressing the needs of those living with mental illness and to promoting the overall mental health of all Americans. Our work is driven by our commitment to promote mental health as a critical part of overall wellness, including prevention for all, early identification and intervention for those at risk, integrated health, behavioral health and other services for those who need them, and recovery as a goal. We are guided by the Before Stage 4 (#B4Stage4) philosophy – that mental health conditions should be treated long before they reach the most critical points in the disease process. When we think diseases like cancer or heart disease, we don't wait years to treat them. We start before Stage 4—we begin with prevention, identify symptoms, and develop a plan of action to reverse and hopefully stop the progression of the disease.We need to address these symptoms early, identify the underlying disease, and plan an appropriate course of action on a path towards overall health.
The Annual Conference is designed to provide educational opportunities for a diverse group of individuals and organizations working to advocate for and implement innovative interventions within the Before Stage 4 philosophy. Each year, Mental Health America's Conference brings together advocates, educators, researchers, business and community leaders, Members of Congress and the Administration, and health professionals from across the country.
Actor and mental health advocate Ashley Judd is serving as Chair of the 2016 Annual Conference Honorary Committee. Joining her on the Committee* and lending their name in support of MHA are Senator Christopher Murphy, Senator Michael Enzi, Senator Chuck Grassley, Representative Doris Matsui, Representative Grace Napolitano, Representative Paul Tonko, Doreen Gentzler, Angie Goff, Terrie Williams, Celinda Lake, Garen Staglin, Shari Staglin and Brandon Staglin, and Glennon Doyle Melton.

What a bewildering variety of gins there is today, some bars stock hundreds. A few handcrafted, many not. Some notes distilled into the gin, others added after. Ultimately the vast majority of gins taste like any other, and by the time you mix in any tonic many people struggle to tell them apart. This is what makes McQueen so refreshingly different. Distinguised by embracing a wide spectrum of pure distilled flavours, whilst holding on to its essential juniper character, McQueen gin is crafted to be simply unmistakeable.
McQueen Gin is infused with the natural notes of hand-selected botanicals during its distillation, with nothing added after. Each of our intriging flavours is a world's first, pure and perfectly balanced, for the discerningly adventurous gin drinker.
From being distilled in a barn in Scotland to winning awards around the globe, McQueen is a flavour-packed small-batch gin, making a big impact on the world's oversaturated gin scene.
Our deep commitment to limited-series distillations ensures every drop of McQueen Gin is infused with the same perfect balance of botanicals. There might be less to go around, but that means savouring each sip is that little bit more special.
Awarded around the world almost as much as the spirit insde, the McQueen decanter was crafted to be every bit as beautiful and distinctive as our unique flavoured gins.

Culture, history and services available six days a week
Residents will be able to read and access digital services and learn about the history of Wigan Borough six days a week as part of new opening hours across libraries, the Museum of Wigan Life and Wigan and Leigh Archives.
As of Monday 21st August, libraries and the Museum will see their opening hours extended to give people wider access to their favourite and essential services. The opening hours have been changed to reflect the recent libraries consultation which found residents value their libraries as a hub for the whole community.
Central libraries in Wigan and Leigh town centres will open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and 9am to 2pm on Saturday, closing as usual on Sundays.
Community libraries, the Museum of Wigan Life and Wigan and Leigh Archives will open 9am to 2pm Monday to Wednesday, 12pm to 5pm on Thursday and Friday, and 9am to 2pm on Saturdays, where local conditions permit.
The changes come as part of wider developments to transform and enhance customer service delivery, alongside recent changes to Wigan Library and the move of Life Centre services from Leigh Town Hall to Leigh Library in recent months.
Lesley O'Halloran, assistant director for customer services said:
"We understand that residents value their local libraries as vital centres to their communities, which is why we're maintaining Saturday opening hours and extending the number of days libraries are open. By taking an innovative approach to meeting our budget savings and actually increasing access, we're able to provide a service to meet demands shaped by feedback.
"We do appreciate that the new opening hours may impact times for some existing groups using libraries to meet and in these instances we will work with such groups to find the best solution."

Plumbing Tips And Tricks You Had To ReadHave you ever had a plumbing problem that you felt you couldn't solve on your own? Was related webpage over your head? Were you afraid of what might happen if you mess with things you don't understand? Read on to find out how to become more confident about solving problems next time your plumbing goes wrong.
Do not try to sell a product that you do not agree with. This includes paying attention to the company itself and their values and policies. If you have any qualms about the company, your customers will pick up on it. You want to be a full supporter of the product you are selling
To avoid having your outdoor faucets freeze up in the winter, detach all hoses before the first freeze. Also, close the shutoff valve that leads to the outdoor faucets, then turn on the outdoor faucets to let any remaining water in the lines drain. Once temperatures warm up in the spring, you can reverse the process.
To avoid clogs, pay attention to what you flush. Sanitary napkins, thick toilet paper and baby wipes should never be flushed. These items can expand and cause a clog, or get caught on a pipe. Instead, dispose of them in a sanitary way that does not involve flushing them down the toilet.
Ensure that everyone in your household knows how to turn off the main water supply, or knows how to contact someone who can. In http://www.thebull.com.au/premium/a/73497-18-share-tips---2-april-2018.html of a burst pipe or other water-related emergency, you should immediately turn off the water to prevent flooding, structural damage, and a sky-high water bill.
One of the things that you can do to maximize the security of your home is to seal all of the cracks in your outdoor faucets. Even a tiny crack can intensify as the season progresses and lead to serious problems down the road. Reduce drips and leaks for optimal protection.
To reduce your plumbing repair costs, use preventative maintenance measures. Drain clogs are a common plumbing expense. Drains can be clogged by hair. Putting a strainer on your drain can solve this problem. You can remove hair much easier from a screen as opposed to getting it out of the inside of a pipe.
DIY plumbing jobs will require that you understand how to solder copper for the lines for the water supply. You can practice this skill so that you will be able to run your lines without worrying about it leaking. Search online for video tutorials that can help you get a handle on how to go about soldering.
Having to wiggle the toilet handle or hold it down to get your toilet to fully flush indicates that the tank parts need to be replaced. Kits that include all of the parts needed can be purchased in any hardware or home improvement store to easily do the repair yourself.
It is important to clean your faucet's aerator from time to time. Not cleaning it can cause lime buildup, which in turn, could cause water leaks or low water pressure. To clean a aerator, you can unscrew it from the faucet, dip a brush into vinegar, and use the brush to clean it.
A plumbing snake is an essential tool in any homeowner's tool box. Snakes can be used to unclog kitchen and bathrooms drains and toilets when clogged with hardened debris. They are useful as well for grabbing hold of items dropped down sink drains. Snakes come in a variety of sizes for home use and heavier-duty models can often be rented for bigger jobs.
Be sure that you check on your water meter when it is not being used. Then, check on the meter 8 hours later. If the meter has changed, even a small amount, this could be a sign that there is an undetected water leak, which can be a severe problem.
If you are having any kind of problems with your water line or plumbing in general then you will first want to cut of your water supply. One of the most common mistakes that people make is to leave their water running while they are trying to fix things and this leads to bigger problems.
You should consider getting a stainless steel sink if you are in need of a new sink. Stainless steel sinks are much better than other ones for many reasons. They are more durable, they absorb shock, they are easier to clean, and they go with almost any decor.
If water is flowing out from where your meter is located, a professional is required to come out and fix the leak. If your water bill goes up, this is most likely because the leak is on the house side of the water meter. You will need to get a professional to come out and fix the leak.
If you are looking into becoming a plumber, there are a few things that you should know first. The most important thing is that plumbers who work for companies do not make a high salary. You should try to find a way to work for yourself, in order to increase your earnings.
You should try using a plumbing snake or plumber to unclog a clog. Liquid cleaners that are meant to unclog the clogs in a drain could ruin the pipes. You should also use strainers to catch hair so that it doesn't go down the drain and get clumped and clog your drain.
An important plumbing-related decision that must be made these days is the choice between an electric water heater or a gas water heater. In these times with gas costing as much as it does, it is more cost efficient to buy an electric water heater, especially if you have a smaller water heater.
Doing your own plumbing can be very rewarding, but it can also be a lot of work. Regardless, if you know what to do and how to do your plumbing properly. So, do yourself a favor by doing your research and applying these tips to your home plumbing endeavors.

The Short+Sweet idea began life in Australia and has since been replicated in several countries around the world – basically by the original organisation licencing the brand (and all the systems, methods, activities, programmes and networks that have been developed over the last 20 years) to local organisations.
In the UAE the original licensee was Alex Broun (right), a hyperactive scriptwriter, director, tutor and general man about theatre here. He is a long-term friend and colleague of Mark Cleary, the founder (and artistic director) of the Short+Sweet mothership, and Broun was the original Festival Director for Short+Sweet Dubai when it launched in in February 2012.
He ran it until the licence passed to a company called Constellation Events for the 2016 and 2017 festivals (Cleary says this was in 2015, Constellation's Liz Hadaway says it was 2014).
Short+Sweet Dubai has certainly been a success. Its first year had over 100 actors, writers and directors involved and attracted an audience total in excess of 1,1000; that built up to a high in 2016, with 250 artists participating and an audience of more than 2,000. Cleary told is that last year the festival slipped a bit in numbers "but we expect to be back to our normal peaks in 2018".
That won't be with Constellation, though. Its licence and the rights to do Short+Sweet in this country were cancelled on 16 May this year.
Cleary has detailed some of the reasons for the breakdown in the relationship between him and Constellation. "Whilst S+S in the UAE may have appeared to be doing well from the outside, there were issues behind the scenes that needed to be addressed.
"I personally attempted to sort out these issues with the organisers on several occasions with little or no response. There was no response from the actual licence holder – this was alarming as S+S events were being executed and presented without proper care and oversight or keeping the parent company (and intellectual property owners of the brand) informed.
"Weeks turned into months of non-response from the licence holder. Then I discovered that our the company that had signed the licence with us no longer existed as a legal entity. In addition there were many other irregularities in financial and reporting areas."
So he withdrew the licence to present Short+Sweet in UAE and elsewhere. That was in May; but he feels "the basic foundation for the agreement had ceased to exist when the signatory to the agreement had been dissolved, an action which had never been communicated to me or to anyone in the [Short+Sweet] organisation".
Mark Cleary has put out a statement "to provide some clarity" about the 'devolved franchise' model that S+S uses and went on to criticize the idea of duplicating the principle, which is what he presumably feels Constellation is doing –– "the concept of taking our IP and creating a copycat event is totally the opposite of what we are. Personally I find it both sad and pathetic. Any person or organisation who would do this demonstrates conclusively that they don't really understand Short+Sweet".
He's talking about the new arrival of 10:Ten, a festival of short plays – up to ten minutes in length, hence the name – that will run over five weekends from 2 February to 24 February 2018 at DUCTAC, with a Red Carpet Gala Final on 9 March at The Madinat Theatre in Madinat Jumeirah. That's not very different to the Short+Sweet format.
According to Liz Hadaway: "Myself personally [sic] and my company has had exclusive contracts to run the [Short+Sweet Dubai Theatre Festival] since 2014. Our current contract to run Short+Sweet events in the UAE runs until 2025. No one other than Constellation Productions has the right to produce any Short+Sweet events without our permission.
"This summer there has unfortunately been a hostile takeover bid of our festival by people whom I formerly considered friends as well as colleagues" – specifically, Alex Broun and the team at The Junction theatre in Alserkal Avenue.
It's The Junction that is now the rights holders for all Short+Sweet festivals throughout UAE, says Mark Cleary. "The potential future for S+S as a force for creativity and self expression in the GCC is fantastic, and a dynamic and forward reaching organisation like The Junction will be a great partner into the future."
The Junction had already had dealings with Short+Sweet, hosting S+S programmes like S+S Bollywood and S+S Voices, and they were up for it – especially with the participation of Alex Broun as the newly installed Executive Producer of the S+S festivals.
"I have always had a very strong relationship with the owners of The Junction, who were some of the biggest supporters of establishing Short+Sweet in Dubai in the first place," says Broun. "Indeed they lent us funds so we were able to run the first ever Short+Sweet Theatre Dubai in 2012. I look forward to working with The Junction team on this next exciting chapter in the growth of Short+Sweet in the UAE."
In practice the fact that The Junction actually runs a venue is a big plus over Constellation, which as a producer has to negotiate slots with suitable performance spaces. As Broun put it, "The Junction is able to programme a year-long programme of Short+Sweet Festivals at their venue whereas Constellation has to try to negotiate with other venues and pay often exorbitant rental fees to put on events".
Broun suspects that this may have been a reason why Constellation has staged so few Short+Sweet festivals since its own agreement was signed – The Junction is committing to a full schedule of S+S festivals (not just theatre) for 2017-18.
He also queries Constellation's relationship with The Junction: "after the wonderful job The Junction did in hosting Short+Sweet Festivals in 2017 and 2018, at a very large cost to the venue, why had Constellation unilaterally decided to move Short+Sweet Theatre to another venue in 2018?" He feels that was a slap in the face for The Junction and "an unnecessary wedge in the tight knit Dubai theatre community".
We offered Liz Hadaway the opportunity to comment on the matter, but she had not been in touch with us by press time.
She calls the row "essentially a B2B business dispute which is now in the hands of our lawyers". As for Mark Cleary, he feels that everything has been done by the book. "The action that I took was not done overnight or 'by surprise' … There is no litigation on our part at this stage, no sinister motives, no 'hostile take-over' or efforts to divide the theatre community".
Alex Broun also doubts that Constellation has a case against anyone. "If Constellation did have a case against Short+Sweet, why have they announced a rival festival which they will be conducting against Short+Sweet in February 2018, effectively driving a wedge into the Dubai theatre community? The website for that new festival was registered on 1 May 2017, so clearly they realised very early on that they had no case against Short+Sweet".
Constellation's 10:Ten Fest is described somewhat pointedly as "a homemade, multi-language festival created in Dubai, for Dubai … To add another first to Dubai's list of artistic and cultural accomplishments, it now has its very own homegrown theatre festival … The 10:Ten Dubai Theatre Festival will launch in 2018 and has been created right here in Dubai …"
Get the point? To allay any doubt, Liz Hadaway, who is the Festival Director of 10:Ten, summarises the programme thus: "There are many incredibly talented artists based right here in the UAE so this is a chance for audiences to check out not what's being imported as a concept from the UK, Australia or India, but what's happening in the artistic scene right here in Dubai."
One differentiator (apart from the emphasis on localness) is the promise of a series of free workshops for all participants "to support the growth and development of artists". Ms Hadaway also promises that "10:Ten will feature lots of new and innovative twists and ideas … we are very excited about the new possibilities which it opens up".
Mark Cleary isn't convinced about those new possibilities. "There have been many copycat productions [imitating the Short+Sweet format] over the years.
"Frankly, if you have to copy someone else's idea what does that say about who you are and what you stand for?"
And by contrast to the local emphasis, the Short+Sweet approach majors on its international network – "Short+Sweet is the global leader in short form theatre, dance and music (and now film)", said Cleary.
At a basic level, ideas and procedures can be swapped between licensees. There's also the chance for international exposure: last year two companies from Dubai performed in the first ever Short+Sweet Hollywood. Two films from Dubai were presented at the first ever Short+Sweet International Film Festival at the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard a few days ago.
Mark Cleary is enthusiastic about the Film Festival programme: "this year there were six S+S Film Festivals (including Dubai) in Hollywood for the Gala Final. Next year there'll be 15 festivals, 25 the year after. Beyond that, who knows? My estimate is 100 by year six. Along with the reach will come great opportunities for networking and skills development for all participants."
At magpie we're not taking sides: our only wish is to see more and better theatre (and indeed performance in general) in the UAE. Mark Cleary says "our only motivation is to make sure that Short+Sweet can grow and thrive in the UAE and follow through with meeting the objectives of our vision providing opportunities for artists and giving people a chance to tell their stories in theatre, dance, film and music". We'd sign up for that, and in principle we'd say the more opportunities the better it will be all round …
Except that it doesn't always work like that. A theatre director who didn't want to be named told us: "There isn't an unlimited supply of good plays or directors in Dubai. We're going to have to chose which festival to support, and we would rather not be put in that position". In fact it's worse than that: the two festivals overlap in their dates, so companies probably couldn't do both even if they wanted to.
In the short term the conflict could be divisive, which would be a shame. More won't necessarily mean better.
Short+Sweet Dubai dates and details
The Junction has an impressive 2017-2018 schedule of S+S Festivals. Short+Sweet Theatre runs in January and February next year, but things kick off in September:
22-23 Sep Short+Sweet Poetry
9-11 Nov Short+Sweet Dance
14-16 Dec Short+Sweet Comedy
18 Jan –24 Feb Short+Sweet Theatre
8-10 Mar Short+Sweet Film
15-24 Mar Short+Sweet Voices
12-14 Apr Short+Sweet Cabaret
10-12 May Short+Sweet Bollywood
There is a form on the website for registering your interest in one or more of these. But there's no detail as yet, either here or on the Facebook page, and The Junction doesn't have the dates on its own web calendar, so we're not sure precisely what's involved and what the restrictions are. The basic principle of Short+Sweet is of course embedded in the name, but while a 10-minute Bollywood routine works that time limit seems bit generous for poetry …
10:Ten Fest dates and details
The 10:Ten Fest info is more explicit – though it's solely a theatre festival (there are hints that more festivals will follow later) so the rules and regs are basically familiar from the last S+S Dubai Theatre Festival.
Registration closes for writers and scripts on 21 October. For directors and theatre companies the deadline is 4 November, for actors it's 23 November. Auditions will be on 25 November, and selected directors and companies will be invited to attend to look for actors for their plays. Actors can figure in up to three plays, incidentally.
Entry is free for all participants. Sign up at www.tentenfest.com.
There's an open meeting for anyone interested in participating and/or attending at 7pm on Saturday 23 September at Constellation Productions, 2401 One Lake Plaza in JLT's Cluster T.
Short+Sweet Abu Dhabi
Short+Sweet Abu Dhabi is unaffected by the goings-on in Dubai and will "definitely" continue under its Festival Director, the indefatigable Zakaia Cvitanovich, at NYU Abu Dhabi Arts Center. The dates are 19-20 January 2018.

Parkside, like it's your own personal park (but you don't have to mow the 3-acre lawn because it's public)! This park, among many neighborhood features, offers a whole city block with room to roam, basketball and children's play structures. This one owner property is an EXCELLENT LOCATION, that everyone talks about. Interior, like a model home, including a recently customized kitchen with beautiful light-colored smooth surface granite counters, a large pantry, glass cabinet doors, wine fridges in the custom built-in, and fine hard wood flooring…makes this feel like home. An array of skylights makes every day bright and light. The split floor plan with the master on one side and two bedrooms on the other, creates an appealing layout in many ways. The large master is complete with a roomy walk-in closet. The master bath has a new shower surround and a jetted tub perfect to relax in at the end of the day. What's special about this home is the outside and back yard, even better than the park across the street, with a pond waterfall feature and circulating creek, travertine patio with seasonal shade screens, tranquil and relaxing spaces as nice as inside. Extended 5 & 10-year warranties for kitchen appliances, a water filtration and softening system, and all-around attention to maintenance details are extra values of this lovely residence.

DIOR Addict Gloss Mirror Shine and Volume Care is rated out of 5 by 6.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Luda from Like it Natural colour, would be recommend it for daily use xxx
Date published: 2015-10-22
Rated 4 out of 5 by Neha from Gorgeous lip gloss! This lip gloss is gorgeous! It definitely provides a mirror shine and looks lovely on it's own or with a lipstick underneath! The swatches on the website are pretty accurate too, I chose the colour Princess and then looked up other peoples swatches and realised I made a good decision! It doesn't smell funny or have an odd application which is also a bonus when it comes to high end lip glosses- the brush is very easy to use and applies the product effectively! As it's a lip product, it doesn't last too long but still longer than most- around 3 hours to 4 hours. I would definitely recommend this as a present, any girl would love this luxurious product! I brought it as a little treat to myself and it makes me smile everytime I see it in my make up bag! Even the packaging and names are cute! I also really like the colour range and will be purchasing again, these are definitely worth the money!
Date published: 2014-03-16
Rated 5 out of 5 by MSVS from Such nice lipglosses! I only have one of these lipglosses (so far) in the color Delice and I really like it! I didn't like lipglosses before I tried this formula and it has completely converted me, so my wish list is now long with different colors of these glosses. The one I have gives a subtle coral color and lots of shine and sparkle, it's not sticky at all and the sparkle doesn't irritate my lips I can't even feel they are there. They don't last long which is the only con I can say, but I still really like it!
Date published: 2014-02-04
Rated 4 out of 5 by mayFletch from Long lasting and easy to wear. Great glosses- long lasting (usually around 4-5 hours on me) and easy to wear- they're not drying at all. My favorite colour is pink fantasy, slightly sheer and sparkly.

During a protest at UC, Davis, students were peppersprayed unjustly by an officer. Though he was the only one doing so, the other officers didn't stop him.
My opinion the entire force is at fault.
I'm horrified and almost speachless at the injustice i witnessed in a couple of videos i watched on the actions the University Police Force took.
I sincerely hope that the students who were sprayed are or will be okay. Especially those who were forced to open their mouths and sprayed down the throat.
Messed up Police Force Pepper-sprays Students22 Nov

Occupy Wall Street Just Got a Bonus19 Nov
It's very apparent that the major media players are downplaying and marginalizing the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests. They can't very well ignore them, since they are appearing in every major city and then some, but they do what they can to make them look weak, ineffectual, and hypocritical in hopes that more people won't join in and the whole thing will just blow over.
I don't see this happening, given that the efforts to disburse the protesters continue to reflect badly on the official establishment. The official establishment should have learned by now that there is no good way to forcibly remove the protesters; however, they are, apparently, slow learners. Nina Mandell, of The New York Daily News provides a video of the latest attempts to disband a protest group. Even though the officers did their due diligence in warning the protesters that they would pepper spray the protesters, it still doesn't make them look good. Nor do those who ordered the peaceful protests disbanded look any better.
On top of all that we had a bone tossed into the fray in the form of an article by Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider. Clusterstock has just published a leaked Memo from a D.C. lobbying firm. The memo makes it very clear that the Occupy Wall Street protesters and the Tea Party movements do have joint interests. They both have issues with the banks.
The sooner these two groups learn to communicate With each other and not Against each other, the sooner something positive will happen for us all. There are some very concrete things that could be agreed upon by both sides, and then these specific items could be sent more particularly to everyone's respective Congressional Representatives and Senators. There would be no excuse for not taking action if both sides are in agreement on the same things.
Why Paparazzi Need to Leave Celebrities Alone7 Nov
I was listening to Paramore's song 'Cruchcrushcrush' today when i started talking to my mom about why the she wrote it. I believe the first verse of the song goes out to the paparazzi and how they seem so interested in a girl who's just like everybody else.
The paparazzi tend to pay attention to the celebrities because they're nosy and they like to spout what they think are facts. The thing is they need to just leave people alone. Celebrities are just like everybody else. They make the same mistakes that we not so famous humans make everyday.
For example: I hear tell that Justin Bieber got Selena Gomez 'knocked up' but the thing is they're adults now that's their problem and it's their choice. Leave it alone! Even if they were kids,… How many teens out there have been 'knocked up'? How many teens have to make the choice of keep or abort? It's the same only your parents are more likely to kick your butt when you're a teen.
The point is, though celebrities are what we like to think of as 'better than me' and 'perfect', they're just like everybody else on this planet so the paparazzi need to butt out!
And we need to stop paying attention to things we don't know anything about. If you want to know about something find out from the real person not someone that's made an interpretation or inference or has been told somewhere down the line. Get it straight from the horses mouth. Not it's friend or whatever.
To be honest this is good advice when it comes to everybody, not just celebrities. It'll definitely keep you out of trouble and cause a lot less drama.
