The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and truly, the mountains are calling. There is nothing better than spending a blissful summer weekend backpacking with your friends or loved ones. But how about that furry, four-legged companion? It is more than likely that he wants to enjoy the trip too!
Dogs can be the absolute best backpacking partners, as long as you take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety and comfort. Take a look at the following tips so you know what to bring and do when hiking and camping with your dog on your next wilderness adventure.
Don't Forget The Leash
When you're backpacking with your dog, it can be tempting to leave the leash at home; after all, your furry pal is well-behaved and wants an adventure too! However, it is critical that you keep the leash with you at all times. You may run into other hikers on the trail who aren't dog-friendly and it is your responsibility to keep your dog under control. Additionally, wildlife can frequently lure your pup away from camp, possibly putting him in danger.
Bring a Dog Bed
Regardless of where your dog sleeps, it is important to remember his bed. Not only is the ground hard and uncomfortable, but it can be downright cold. Just like with humans, dogs will get chilly overnight if they don't have any insulation to protect them. Many companies sell backpacking dog beds that are lightweight and pack up to a small size. However, the cost can be prohibitive. When I'm camping or backpacking with my dog, I have just as much luck with a three-quarter foam sleeping pad.
Food & Water
It may take some time to figure out your dog's hydration needs, but this is so important! Use your own water consumption as a cue for your pup's thirst levels. If you need a drink, it's likely he does too. It can be significantly easier to plan trips around streams and lakes in order to provide easy access to water, but be aware: dogs can get giardia. Pack plenty of water and/or a filtration system in case your sources are too contaminated for either of you to drink.
Choose Dog-Friendly Trails
It goes without saying, but double check that your chosen trail allows dogs. Many state and national parks do not allow camping with a dog overnight. Additionally, make sure the trail itself is conducive to doggie paws. Even with daily training, paws are sensitive and can easily be torn or hurt on sharp or hot rocks. Soft dirt paths with lots of shade are ideal dog-friendly trails, especially if Fido is new to the backcountry.
If your trip includes some high alpine hiking where boulder and talus fields are plenty, consider investing in some dog shoes. It may take practice for your pup to get used to booties on his feet, but they can save his paws from an absolute shredding.

Sam's Club Loads up on Back-to-School Promotions
Sam's Club teamed with a bevy of manufacturers to run a series of promotions aimed at preparing school-bound families this season.
Kellogg Co.
The warehouse club is running its annual promotion with Scholastic and Kellogg Co. offering a free Scholastic book with purchase of a qualifying SKU in custom packaging from brands including Cheez-It, Keebler, Pop-Tarts and Eggo. From May 24 to Sept. 30 (two months longer than last year), Kellogg's Family Rewards members submit receipts to feedingreading.com/sams, which directs users to a page within the loyalty program's website. Credits must be redeemed by Dec. 18. As it did last year, Kellogg's is pledging an additional book to a local school for every title redeemed.
Online support includes multiple email ads, as well as samsclub.com display ads and a dedicated e-commerce page for eligible SKUs boasting a "hungry for knowledge?" leaderboard ad. In-store support mirrors last year's activity with custom pallet displays and signage on Tastes & Tips sampling stations. The latter distributed free samples from Kellogg's, Keebler, Cheez-It and Pop-Tarts beginning Aug. 1. This year, select Sam's Club Freeosk kiosks also dispensed free Rice Krispy Treats mini-squares and Nutri-Grain bars from the manufacturer beginning Aug. 10 and Aug. 17, respectively. Sam's Club also stocked specially packaged eligible SKUs from Pringles via a pallet display plugging the retailer's Mastercard at one San Antonio, TX, store.
Sam's Club has also offered a slew of "Instant Savings" on participating products throughout the promotional period as well as free shipping on "back to school favorites" through Sept. 15 with purchase of select Kellogg's SKUs from brands including Pringles and Keebler. Multiple email ads as well as a carousel ad and display and top-of-page ads throughout samsclub.com supported the offer, linking to the aforementioned e-commerce page.
The retailer additionally tied in to Kellogg's March launch of its limited-edition unicorn cereal and Pop-Tarts by stocking the SKUs on brightly-colored pallet displays communicating a "Believe it! Unicorns are back for back to school" message in stores. Multiple email ads, samsclub.com display ads employing an "add magic to school days" message, and Aug. 29 Facebook, Twitter and Instagram updates supported.
General Mills
Sam's Club additionally replicated the cause effort it ran last year with General Mills, activating the manufacturer's evergreen "Box Tops for Education" platform from Aug. 1 through Sept. 30 (two weeks longer than last year). Shoppers who purchase three eligible SKUs in exclusive packaging can submit their receipt to earn 100 bonus Box Tops credits for their school. Other details such as method of entry, in-store support and qualifying brands including General Mills' Betty Crocker, Totino's and Pillsbury, and SC Johnson's Ziploc remained almost the same as last year with minor differences including display designs. For example, Kimberly-Clark's Kleenex participated again this year with another custom pallet display resembling a school bus, though dangling 18 Box Tops (versus last year's 16) and stocking multi-pack SKUs wrapped in licensed packaging that also tied in to the June 15 premiere of Disney/Pixar's Incredibles 2.
Within samsclub.com, multiple display ads, leaderboard ads, a dedicated e-commerce page, as well as multiple email ads plug the offer, while sponsored blog posts from social influencers such as lifestyle blogger Sarah Fortune (commissioned by General Mills and SC Johnson) round out support.
PepsiCo/Frito-Lay joined the seasonal activity at the warehouse club by incentivizing digital orders with a Sam's Club eGift card – a promotion the warehouse club routinely replicates with different manufacturers (including Procter & Gamble). From July 25 to Aug. 31, the partners dangled $25 with purchase of $75 worth of participating SKUs from brands including Gatorade, Quaker and Doritos via samsclub.com for home delivery or Club Pickup, or made in-club using the Scan & Go mobile application. Display ads and a manufacturer e-commerce page within samsclub.com promoted the deal using a "save on back-to-class" message. Aug. 15 Facebook, Twitter and Instagram updates rounded out support. Additional activity from the manufacturer included "Pack a Gold Star Lunch" display ads running throughout samsclub.com that linked to a "lunch box favorites" e-commerce page showcasing five SKUs from Frito-Lay, Pure Leaf and Quaker. An Aug. 9 Instagram update supported.
Other Brands
Procter & Gamble also played a part in Sam's Club's BTS activity, offering a batch of "Instant Savings" on select SKUs from its Swiffer and Mr. Clean brands from Aug. 22 through Sept. 16. Display and top-of-page ads, as well as a "back to college savings" e-commerce page corralling eligible SKUs and a "find great offers on college essentials" leaderboard ad within samsclub.com supported. Concurrently, GOJO Industries' Purell also used a "Back to school. Back to germs" message and plugged "Instant Savings." Themed in-store activity included pallet displays from manufacturers such as Bic Corp.
Retailer-Driven Activity
Retailer-driven back-to-school activity also aligned closely with that of the year prior, including a "Back-to-Class" e-commerce hub devoted to seasonal promotions and products, themed sampling events promoted via social media updates, and a July 14 free health screening event for college-bound students. Multiple email blasts, a "Back to Class" Pinterest board, and Facebook, Twitter and Instagram updates plugging supplies from national brands and private labels supported.

Low emission zone for non-road mobile machinery
Since 2008, heavy duty diesel road vehicles have had to meet emissions standards to avoid being charged for travelling within the London Low Emission Zone (LEZ).
On 14 August 2014, Mayor of London Boris Johnson announced plans to further improve the capital's air quality by requiring construction equipment to meet standards for particulates (PM10) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). This is described as a 'low emission zone for non-road mobile machinery' (NRMM). In addition, it was announced that new measures would be introduced to control dust from construction and demolition activity.
It is estimated that up to 12 per cent of nitrogen oxide and 15 per cent of particulate pollution in London comes from construction and demolition activity. The new measures are expected to cut these emissions by nearly 50 per cent by 2020.
The measures were implemented on 1 September 2015, introduced by 'The control of dust and emissions during construction and demolition - Supplementary Planning Guidance', which replaced The Control of Dust and Emissions from Demolition and Construction Best Practice Guidance published by London Council's and the Mayor in 2006.
Under the new measures, equipment over 10 years old must be replaced or retrofitted on all developments in central London and major developments in outer London (10 homes or more or 1,000 sq foot in other developments). However, there are exemptions for specialist construction machinery where pieces of equipment are not available at the required emission standard or in the volumes required.
The standards will tighten across the whole of London in 2020, complementing the introduction of an Ultra-Low Emission Zone in central London.
An online register has been created for site managers to register construction machinery within the London catchment area. After an initial six-month introductory period, should a site not meet emissions standards, managers will be in breach of planning requirements. Penalties will depend on the individual borough but could result in a delay to the completion of a project.
The Mayor suggested that construction machinery is generally replaced less frequently than cars or vans. He said: "By replacing the oldest and most polluting bulldozers and machinery on building sites we can greatly reduce harmful emissions and boost our air quality. We've all walked past construction sites and seen thick clouds of dust generated from equipment that simply hasn't been updated or replaced in decades. This new guidance will reduce NOx and is part of a series of strong measures including the Ultra Low Emission Zone from 2020, that will greatly reduce London's air pollution from all emission sources."
Dr Claire Holman from the Institute of Air Quality Management said: "This is an important step in reducing emissions from demolition and construction sites that are both annoying and damaging to human health. These standards have rightly taken into account the impact on air quality and will be a key part of the planning process of new developments."
Managing Director of the Construction Plant-hire Association. Colin Wood said: "We are pleased to support the Low Emission Zone for construction machinery, having worked collaboratively with the Greater London Authority on its development. We are committed to working with the industry to help them improve London's air quality."

Well surprisingly I recieved my pool 24ft by 52". Nice.
Anyway. When the installer came he made my parents sign a new contract? Why? That pool went from 9,000 dollars which was bogus to me in the first place.
To 31,000 dollars. HAHAHAHA. What the ***? I'm at my wits in but I'm still fighting the contract I still did everything I was suppossed to do.
I don't care if the pool is here or not. But They will bring that price down. It's funny after reading so many of these emails and post that they can come up with so many different prices. I don't care how your credit looks there's no reason for all this jump around.
I still sent my Information to Amy Sams in Jacksonville Fl. I suggest if anyone of you are in this same situation to get on it. I also filed with my own Consumer person in my area. Please please stick to your guns these people don't deserve to be in business.
Also, I read on their website that as of August 2nd they will no longer be soliciting their business. Who knows what their trying to do next another name change perhaps?
Well see good luck to us all.
Monetary Loss: $500.
Location: Princeton, New Jersey
Is there a class action suit? We paid deposit two months ago but have gotten no pool yet!
Has anyone heard of a lawsuit against Blue World Pools? Like a class action suit? I'm just wondering how after all these years they are still in business?
The sales rep came to my house today. Looked like he slept in his clothing and was not very clean.
Thank God I did not buy a pool from these people. reading these reports has helped me decide not to call him back as I was thinking of doing.
I contacted Blue world pools live chat and asked about products they may sell to treat my pool as I would have order them off line. the chat lady said she did not know what chemicals I would need and discontinued the chat.
not even good by or I will check.
so looking on their website I called the 1500 number only to be told they do not send field inspecters out anymore to inspect the land you want the pool on and then the phone hung up just a recording. so to look further to find out they have a page set up to inform you about Maintance on a pool go figure should contact the chat lady back to inform her of information already on their site.
Hey when you see something like that on tv exspecially it say land owners only something is wrong. Buy a pool from someone in your area or another place close to you I see that advertizing all the time and I say something is wrong with that commercial and I myself went with Watson from Nashville Tn and very happy with them and there service. Blue World you should be ashamed exspecially in this day and time with our enconmony and everyone is working hard for there money and you all are just ripping the consumer shame on you I don't know how you all sleep at night.
WOW! This my second site that I have read about this company.
I was thinking about getting the pool for my kids. They are offering 15 by 24 for 299.00 in my area I seen it on T.V.
so I looked there site up. I then decided to check the reviews glad I did.
Thanks alot!
I totally agree steve. i did recieve a letter stating that they are being charged with theft and being audited or something.
this im hoping is the reward i've been waiting for! hopefully they are found out and put out of business and everyone who has been cheated gets refunded!!
sorry im still pissed we could have got the same pool at a local dealer
yes pool is nice but $15000 is a ripoff but they were the only ones that would finance us. but now we see why we got the same pool that a local dealer sales for $4800 installedand that $3000 inonizer can be bought for $299 and ferill is $99 not $169 plus shipping this was not said we were told to wash it out and put it back on next year NOT and we was tricked into that $5000 upgrade to. they start with lies and keep telling them and make sure installer tells the same ones to cover there but DONT BUY FROM THEM
:( 142,000 Complaints. Are all these people wrong? :(
Yes, everything that is written buy consumers here is true. I worked for them for 2 weeks until I found out how they were treating the customers. They can't keep good employees, that's why it takes so long for them to make/keep the appointments.
They also have a full-time person who's only job is to answer all bad press and internet complaints to make it appear as though they are a legitamate, good company. They buy new website addresses all the time to refute all allogations
and put bogus info on it to make it sound legit. Horrible company with too much money to fail.
They are a terrible company that has already been banned in a number of states, including Georgia, their H.O. location. That should tell you something about their business practices.
They also hide behind a Nevada address that is known to be difficult to access to help you run out of the 3 day cancellation period, so you'll be stuck with the pool and contract.
They sell pools for 6-8 months and then go into the real estate business the rest of the year due to the liens placed on property.
No problem Ella just warn others it's the best way to keep them under. And watch it they do change their name.
ive seen this on tv just today and after reading all this I decided not to get one after all. I think this company needs to be sued for every scam and more they have did to people.
thanks andrea and all .
you just saved me for a bundle. again thanks.
He is very rude. But that company doesn't care they have peoples money and continue to take others money. Criminals!
Hey Frank,is that a way to talk to your companies customers?? Really,you are very rude!
Melita, I hope you didn't do it. I really hope you didn't.
They just keep pushing you for the so called better pools and that 299 pool is soooo cheap they say and it's not worth the money. Just shut your door.
:x I am suppose to have an installer come out tommorrow and check out my land. I told them i seen their ad for a pool for $299.00! Has anyone gotton the $299.00 pool for that price?
I work for Blue World Pools and if there are actual customers on here that have issues with their contract, pool, or financing please direct them to 1 800 706 0907 ext 3031 to be resolved. I can assure those on here that Blue World Pools will rectify any issues and strive for customer satisfaction. Please call I can help.
Interest rate went down drastically? If you say so.
24% to 15% is not drastic. 24 to 5 now that's drastic. If you must be dramatic. Yes the pool is nice but how do I know I'm still not getting ripped?
How do I know they gave me this so called upgrade and didn't recieve the same pool they approved me on in the first place? You don't and probably never will know. Do you work for them Frank? Do you know all the in's and out's of this company?
If so there's tons of pissed people on here that would love to hear from you.
But if you took the time to read all the complaints on here you would know that. Duh!!
If you would take the time to read the contract you would see that your price did go up, but you intrest rate went down drastically, payments were the same as was the loan term. Oh and you got a better quality pool.

Hey, thanks for stopping by the other day. I hope you enjoyed your stay.
I have to say I'm a big fan of your b/w, and monochrome works! Never before haveI seen such soft tones and such a diffused light.
Do you mind if I ask how you accomplish that?
- Sandy said...
bkphotography-Wow. Such a nice compliment. Thank you:). To be perfectly honest I am really just learning about photography and have no idea who to explain how I do that. I just play around until I like it. I do a little post processing with Picasa because for the life of me I can't figure out my Photoshop CS2. I will take a course this fall though. When I figure it out I'll let you know:).

Beautiful shot Sandy...love the blue tones in this one and the crisp water droplet. Awesome!

We chatted with Project Manager Lydia: the most musical member of the Spinning Clock team and mum to our office dog Buddy!
Hi Lydia! Take us through what you do here at Spinning Clock.
I am part of the Project Management team here at Spinning Clock. This involves managing a variety of projects from producing printed brochures, to delivering live events, to creating videos and animations. As project manager it is my role to liaise directly with clients from the initial briefing, to putting together a budget and project schedule.
It is then up to me to ensure everything runs to schedule and is completed within the agreed budget. This also means communicating with the client throughout to ensure they are delighted with the final result!
How would your colleagues describe you in three words?
Hmm that's tricky…
Musical – I sing/whistle along to the radio a lot – on second thoughts better change that from 'musical' to 'annoying'!
Monica (from Friends) – I can be a bit militant when it comes to office cleanliness!
Responsible – I have been delegated as the keeper of the dodgems tokens for the Christmas party! Eeek!
But in reality my primary role in the eyes of my colleagues is 'Buddy's Mum', and I'm ok with that!
Tell us about what you get up to when you're not at Spinning Clock HQ.
My weekends generally consist of walking the dog, housework, home improvements, and occasionally chilling out! I also have a degree in music, although don't often find much time to play (flute and piano). My husband plays in a funk band – you will invariably find me on the dance floor!
While I'm nowhere near as creative as some of the fabulous designers here at Spinning Clock, I do like making things – the most recent being a skirt that I made out of a pair of vintage curtains that belonged to my grandmother!
What's the best part of being a member of the Spinning Clock team?
The people! Everyone is very talented, friendly and helpful – it's such a great team to be a part of! I particularly enjoy the social side – Panini Fridays of course, and the upcoming Christmas party! Another huge bonus is that I get to bring my Springer Spaniel Buddy to work! He loves it here – he's a sociable dog who likes to be around people so it suits him just fine. He spends most of the day snoozing in his cosy bed by the radiator, and loves greeting any new visitors. Pop by if you're ever in the area – he'd love to meet you!
Do you have any advice for someone reading who aspires to be a Project Manager?
Be prepared for any eventuality! I'm a big fan of plans and lists and timetables but in reality things rarely go as smoothly as you'd like. Often there are multiple stakeholders and suppliers involved so it's a case of maintaining clear communication and making sure everyone knows their role and what is needed from them and when. This gives clients the confidence that, despite the inevitable hiccups and delays along the way, the entire process is under control and the end result will be delivered to a high standard.
Thanks Lydia for chatting to us this week! Join us for Spinning Clock Sit-Downs every Friday and meet the rest of the SC team. We're a friendly bunch – you can catch up with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram too.

Injuries that are caused from a dog bite need immediate proper treatment and care. The most troublesome injuries resulting from it are facial wounds, wounds involving ruptures, abrasions and tearing of body tissues. These injuries can be traumatizing for the victim as they tend to leave some of their adverse effects for a very long period of time or even permanently. Some of them can be deformities in the face or the body part being attacked, scars that are left permanently, marks of facial injuries or may be unhealthy and discolored appearance of the skin.
Due to such effects of the dog bites, the person feels socially uncomfortable and keeps being reminded of the incident or the attack that lead to such situation whenever they look at themselves. This not only harms the physical but also the mental and emotional aspects of the victim's life. Most of the dog bite victims suffer from problems like gloomy and pessimistic thoughts, improper sleep, unpleasant dreams even when the physical treatment gets completed.
The recovery and healing for all dog bites may differ a lot depending on the nature of the wound as well as the victim. The wounds that are terrible and painful but doesn't leave scars at all or a little markings and get healed quickly are less traumatic than the ones which may be not that grave in nature but tend to cause infections or leave visible scars on the skin permanently. Also, children suffer much more physically as well as emotionally as compared to the adults in case of a dog bite.
To provide a proper treatment and assistance to a victim suffering from a dog bite or attack, a skilled and proficient medical care is the foremost necessity for a quick and better recovery. Cosmetic surgeons can be a great help in the treatment and the resolutions of the scars and injury deformities. Apart from this, a legal guidance should be provided to assist with various aspects of the incident regarding recorded statements and pictures, medical permissions as well as the documentations of the injuries and treatment progress.
Thus, it is strongly advised to seek skilled legal counsel regarding such cases and dog bite injury accidents. The Law Firm Payas, Payas, and Payas assists in the same with their experience and competent personnel and have been working in the interests of those suffering from incidents or have been aggrieved due to any such painful situations or accidents.

"I want to begin this day with thankfulness, and continue it with eagerness. I shall be busy; let me set about things in the spirit of service to you and to my fellows, that Jesus knew in the carpenter's shop in Nazareth. I am glad that he drew no line between work sacred and secular. Take the skill that resides in my hands, and use it today; take the experience that life has given me, and use it; keep my eyes open, and my imagination alert, that I may see how things look to others, especially the unwell, the worried, the overworked. For your love's sake. Amen."Amen, indeed.

You are a Japanese exporter. You have just made two shipments of your product; one to the U.S. (for which you will be paid in USD in 60 days) and one to China (for which you will be paid in CHY in 60 days). The USD floats against the JPY and the CHY is pegged to the USD.
Discuss briefly the currency risk(s) (and opportunities) that you are assuming by entering the above two export contracts
Solution Preview
If I will be paid in foreign currency 60 days from now after making the shipments, I would be happy if USD appreciates against Japanese Yen and will be worried if the the USD depreciates. Same will be the case with CHY. If CHY depreciates I would be worried as I would receive less Japanese Yen on conversion. On the other hand I would be happy if CHY appreciates. Thus, there is a risk that I may receive an amount lower or higher than the amount I expect today due to changes in the currency exchange rate. This is called currency risk.
USD floats ...
Solution Summary
Currency risks for Japanese Exporters are examined. The current risk and opportunities that are assuming by entering the above two export contracts are determined.

The latest hit piece on SB 76 comes from a group calling themselves Citizens To Protect PA Jobs who claims sole responsibility for the hit piece.
Just who is Citizens To Protect PA Jobs. One would think, based on the name, that this is a citizen led advocacy group but nothing could be further from the truth.
In 2015, ABC27 ran a story about the group (http://abc27.com/2015/05/29/who-is-behind-pro-drilling-tv-ads-that-questions-taxes-on-the-industry/) which directly tied this group to the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. In that instance they targeted $425,000 for buying television and radio spots across the state, according to the article. They also launched a similar website to advocate their point of view.
Look, I have no problem with freedom of speech but I'd like to see far more honesty in these types of attack pieces. This latest attack on SB 76 is anything but honest.
In a form letter they ask you to sign to further create the illusion that this is a citizen led effort and not the lobbyist machine that it is, they make this claim that we need "$12 billion to make up for the steady stream of revenue that would be lost – and that figure is expected to increase by almost a billion dollars every year." They then go on to state "This scheme seems even more risky in today's uncertain economy and with the monthly fluctuations in sales and PIT returns."
The claim of $12 billion dollars needed in replacement revenue is partly true. It's not, however, revenue lost. It is revenue that would be collected through a means other than the property tax. Remember that the number needed for replacement revenue is closer to $10 billion since existing retained debt remains in each school district until that debt is paid off so they are already inflating numbers by more than 2 billion dollars.
That is the first misrepresentation but not nearly as egregious as what follows.
The egregious erroneous claim is the statement that future increases in the school property taxes would amount to $1 billion annually.
I went to the Department of Education website to get my information and the following figures reflect actual numbers, not some number pulled out of thin air to generate fear.
40 years ago, in 1985-86 local property tax revenue statewide was $2,685,042,553. Over the next 40 years the property tax grew by almost $10 billion dollars to reach the 2015-16 number of $12,614,113,562 currently collected through the local school property taxes.
The Department of Education numbers demonstrate that the average annual increase in property taxes has been $310,680,427 over the last 40 years. The difference between 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years represents an increase in property taxes of $333,358,460, very close to the annual average cited by the Department of Education.
This letter makes that claim that in the future these increase will suddenly triple going to $1 billion dollars a year. If that was true, and it isn't, this would mean that over the next ten years the revenue need from property taxes taxes will almost double going from $12.6 billion to $22.6 billion.
If this were true, and again….it's not, let's look at what impact this will have on the economy.
Property taxes will have to almost double over the next 10 years to meet that obligation.
Rental prices will also increase to reflect the increase in property taxes that landlords must pay.
The cost of all the goods and services we use will also dramatically increase. You see, the property tax becomes a part of a business operating expense. Any increase in the property tax results in higher prices on the goods and services we use because that expense must be passed on to the consumer. That will include the cost of the gas we put in our cars, the legal services we use, diapers, food, clothing, healthcare, everything….
This additional cost is multiplied because there is a Cascade effect related to property taxation. In short, a property tax is levied on every property at every stage of the production of every good we purchase. That adds layers of increased cost to those goods. You can read more about that on a previous blog (link).
Protecting the state quo, in my opinion is the riskier scheme yet that is what this organization advocates.
Ask yourself, can you afford to see your school property taxes double over the next ten years.
Last year, Pennsylvania saw a massive out-migration of population. That means that there are less people to pay the school property tax than there were in the previous year. That places a great responsibility to meet that revenue want on fewer people. As was reported, this was nothing new. This is part of an ongoing trend as families move to other more tax-friendly states to live.
At the same time we are seeing a growing need for more government run services to provide tax-payer funded rent relief for low-income families who are seeing their rents become more and more unsustainable. By doubling the property tax over the next ten years we will make rent even less affordable creating more need for more government programs to subsidize the increasing property tax. As this increase drives up the cost of food and clothing (and diapers) we will see more people turning to tax-payer funded government assistance just to make ends meet.
In order to protect the status quo of property taxation, we are going to have pay more in taxes through other programs.
Doubling the property taxes over the next ten years will mean more working families will never be able to realize the dream of home ownership. They will be forced into renting where the cost of the increasing property taxes will force more families to seek out government forms of subsidized rent.
Where is all that additional revenue that will be needed to maintain the status quo going to come from?
Is the purpose of taxation really supposed to be for the purpose of making more and more people dependent upon the government for their very survival?
Yet this is what this letter, without saying so, is advocating for!
To my way of thinking the status quo is unsustainable and it is irresponsible to continue to advocate for the status quo forcing more people into dependency on the government to make ends meet.
Then again, if your bread and butter was coming from school districts and social service programs wouldn't you want to see those programs grow even if that means destroying the economic future for thousands of Pennsylvania working families?
The fact of the matter is that if property taxes continue to increase by $333 million a year things will be bad enough for those working families. Triple that and you have devastated the homes of thousands of families. You will create an environment where only the wealthy will be able to afford a home and forcing everyone else into rental servitude in the recreation of a new society of feudal lords and serfs.
Without a consumer base to support the business and industry community, they will no longer be able to survive unless the government intervenes with more corporate welfare programs and tax-payer support funding of private commercial entities.
Is that the future we want for Pennsylvania? I don't know about you but it isn't the future I want for myself or for my grandchildren!

I do have to admit that I do a little happy dance whenever I get to do a Hillstone wedding because it's only a 12minute drive from my house. As much as I love a destination wedding it's nice to have one so close to home sometimes! It's also a gorgeous spot with the most epic hedges surrounding the ceremony area.
I always love a good petal toss – or petal attack as it usually turns out to be!! Whenever I see there's going to be a petal toss I always try to encourage guests to throw the petals UP rather than at the happy couple but there's inevitably someone who just can't help themselves haha.
Congratulations photos are some of my favourite of the day. There's always so much joy on people's faces as they come to congratulate the happy couple for the first time. They're usually more focused on the couple than on the camera which always makes for great shots.
For portraits we just explored around the golf course that's connected to Hillstone on a couple of golf buggies. We found lots of gorgeous green spaces and had LOTS of fun while doing it!
The gorgeous setup for the reception in the Rosewood Room at Hillstone. Beautiful florals and details contributed to a lovely intimate feel.
One of Sarah's girlfriends has a business called The Rustic at Heart who made the wooden hoop with their names sitting behind them. It makes such a difference to speech photos if you take into consideration what the backgrounds will be and dress them up a bit like this.
Some of the vendors that made this Hillstone wedding so fab:

An eight-team second-tier league below the Top League will begin from the 2017-18 season, the Japan Rugby Football Union announced Friday.
The top two teams from each of Japan's three provincial leagues — Top East, Top West, and Top Kyushu this upcoming season will win places in the newly set up "Top Challenge League." The remaining two teams will be selected from a round-robin from the three third-place teams.
These eight teams will each play 10 games over two stages, beginning with one against each other team. After that first stage, the top four teams and bottom four will be put into separate groups for a final three-game second stage.
Postseason playoffs for promotion to the Top League and demotion to the provincial leagues will follow.

TELEPHONE kiosks used to set up drug deals are being closed down by police.
The crackdown has already led to the closure of a public phone box outside a busy post office in Colwyn Bay.
And the next could be a kiosk in a quiet rural hamlet on the edge of the Denbigh Moors.
The measure was introduced in North Wales after a Colwyn Bay-based community beat manager heard of similar action taken by another force.
The first kiosk targeted was in the town's Abergele Road.
Sgt Darryl Price said: "We had evidence that not only were people using the kiosk to contact their dealers but very often they met up outside.
"Elderly people calling at the post office for their pensions understandably found that intimidating," said the officer.
Police liaised with BT who assessed the situation and agreed to close the kiosk for a limited period. "BT have been very co-operative," added Sgt Price.
The force is now involved in moves to close the Bylchau kiosk which stands at the junction of the Denbigh-Pentrefoelas road with the road to Llansannan.
Eifion Jones, clerk to Llansannan community council, said local residents had voiced concern about the kiosk for years.
"They have reported seeing young men going in there, and within half an hour a car comes along and a parcel is left there or in the bin alongside," he said.. "BT wants to close six kiosks in the community of Llansannan and we are objecting to them all except the one in Bylchau," Mr Jones added.
The kiosk in The Square, Kinmel Bay, is also under threat.
It was one of the first areas to be targeted in the police's Dyna Ddigon (That's Enough) campaign to reduce anti-social behaviour.
BT spokesman Chris Orum said: "If there is strong local feeling we are prepared to consider removing a kiosk, and we do receive requests from councils, police and local residents.
"If those kiosks are well-used we may just consider moving them to new locations.
"Temporary closures can cause problems, however, because people will assume they are still out of use when they are back in operation."
Sgt Price said the police were also calling for bus shelters used by gangs of rowdy youths to be moved.

Colin Cowherd: "We have seen Green Bay lose twice this year. It's not that they lost, it's HOW they lost. Philadelphia and the Chargers lined up and said 'WE'RE GOING TO PUSH YOU ALL OVER THE FIELD' and Green Bay had no answer. Green Bay is fun, and they're flashy, and they're cool, and their quarterback is in commercial, but they don't want anything to do with tough guys. Green Bay is NOT beating the Saints and they're NOT beating San Francisco, forget about the other conference. At some point you have to impose your will on people in this sport. The Packers looked like they flew out to Hollywood, had a good time, ate at Nobu on Saturday night, then no-showed on Sunday afternoon. This wasn't about being cocky, this was about getting punched in the mouth and wanting no part of the Octagon. The Saints and 49ers can be fun and flashy too, but they will run you over." (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd discuss the Green Bay Packers' shocking bullying at the hands of the previously comatose Los Angeles Chargers, who got embarrassed on Sunday. The final score was 26-11, but included a late Packers touchdown in garbage time.
Colin says Green Bay not only lost, which all teams besides the 1972 Miami Dolphins do, but that's not the problem. He says it's HOW they lost that has Cowherd questioning if the Packers are legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
Colin thinks the Packers look like a classic finesse team who is no match for physical teams like the Saints, 49ers, and Eagles in a loaded NFC that should offer a brutal playoff bracket.
Check out the video above as Colin details why the Packers aren't tough enough to advance through their own conference.

Light 'relaxes' crystal to boost solar cell efficiency
Rice, Los Alamos discovery advances case for perovskite-based solar cells
HOUSTON – (April 5, 2018) – Some materials are like people. Let them relax in the sun for a little while and they perform a lot better.
A collaboration led by Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory found that to be the case with a perovskite compound touted as an efficient material to collect sunlight and convert it into energy.
The researchers led by Aditya Mohite, a staff scientist at Los Alamos who will soon become a professor at Rice; Wanyi Nie, also a staff scientist at Los Alamos, and lead author and Rice graduate student Hsinhan (Dave) Tsai discovered that constant illumination relaxes strain in perovskite's crystal lattice, allowing it to uniformly expand in all directions.
Expansion aligns the material's crystal planes and cures defects in the bulk. That in turn reduces energetic barriers at the contacts, making it easier for electrons to move through the system and deliver energy to devices.
This not only improves the power conversion efficiency of the solar cell, but also does not compromise its photostability, with negligible degradation over more than 1,500 hours of operation under continuous one-sun illumination of 100 milliwatts per cubic centimeter.
The research, which appears this week in Science, represents a significant step toward stable perovskite-based solar cells for next generation solar-to-electricity and solar-to-fuel technologies, according to the researchers.
"Hybrid perovskite crystal structures have a general formula of AMX3, where A is a cation, M is a divalent metal and X is a halide," Mohite said. "It's a polar semiconductor with a direct band gap similar to that of gallium arsenide.
"This endows perovskites with an absorption coefficient that is nearly an order of magnitude larger than gallium arsenide (a common semiconductor in solar cells) across the entire solar spectrum," he said. "This implies that a 300-nanometer thick film of perovskites is sufficient to absorb all the incident sunlight. By contrast, silicon is an indirect band gap material that requires 1,000 times more material to absorb the same amount of sunlight."
Mohite said researchers have long sought efficient hybrid perovskites that are stable in sunlight and under ambient environmental conditions.
"Through this work, we demonstrated significant progress in achieving both of these objectives," he said. "Our triple-cation-based perovskite in a cubic lattice shows excellent temperature stability at more than 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit)."
The researchers modeled and made more than 30 semiconducting, iodide-based thin films with perovskite-like structures: Crystalline cubes with atoms arranged in regular rows and columns. They measured their ability to transmit current and found that when soaked with light, the energetic barrier between the perovskite and the electrodes largely vanished as the bonds between atoms relaxed.
They were surprised to see that the barrier remained quenched for 30 minutes after the light was turned off. Because the films were kept at a constant temperature during the experiments, the researchers were also able to eliminate heat as a possible cause of the lattice expansion.
Measurements showed the "champion" hybrid perovskite device increased its power conversion efficiency from 18.5 percent to 20.5 percent. On average, all the cells had a raised efficiency above 19 percent. Mohite said perovskites used in the study were 7 percent away from the maximum possible efficiency for a single-junction solar cell.
He said the cells' efficiency was nearly double that of all other solution-processed photovoltaic technologies and 5 percent lower than that of commercial silicon-based photovoltaics. They retained 85 percent of their peak efficiency after 800 hours of continuous operation at the maximum power point, and their current density showed no photo-induced degradation over the entire 1,500 hours.
"This work will accelerate the scientific understanding required to achieve perovskite solar cells that are stable," Mohite said. "It also opens new directions for discovering phases and emergent behaviors that arise from the dynamical structural nature, or softness, of the perovskite lattice."
The lead researchers indicated the study goes beyond photovoltaics as it connects, for the first time, light-triggered structural dynamics with fundamental electronic transport processes. They anticipate it will lead to technologies that exploit light, force or other external triggers to tailor the properties of perovskite-based materials.

Usually when I attend blogger events they're based in London, so I was pretty excited when I was invited to an event last week that was pretty local to me. The lovely people over at Atelier Salon and Spa invited me and a few other local bloggers over for an evening of pampering and to take a look at their range of products and services. Atelier is based in Redbourne, about 30 mins away from me, but I'd never visited before so wasn't sure what it was like. So when I arrived I was surprised that it was based in this gorgeous old building, and all the rooms were filled with gorgeous little details – making me love the place already!
I arrived with my usual event sidekick Bex, and another great blogging buddy Louise, and then we met up with Sarah, Hannah and Emily. We were then all given these peach bellini type drinks in cute little jars, and some delicious canapes. Then we were shown around the salon, where we then all split off into different rooms to look at the different treatments.
Bex, Louise and I started off with skincare, where we all had our skin analysed and were recommended products that would help our skincare problems from Pinks Boutique, a brand I've not heard from before but they all smelt amazing! Then we moved on to another room where Sarah, Hannah and Emily were getting their nails done, and we all got a hand massage. I then had a look downstairs where I then got my hair done in an up do, which is something I don't usually have so it was nice to get the chance to try something different!
We then met up with the rest of the girls and had bit of a natter before we went off. It was great fun to spend an evening with some local bloggers, and have an evening of pampering. It's great to see what a local salon is offering, and I'm even tempted to take another visit myself!
Thanks so much to everyone at Atelier Salon for having us, and to Alastair from Pickle PR for the invite!

Casa Klotz Cabin in Chile
Every time we think we've seen the coolest cabins on the planet, another one hits our email inbox. If you told us we would fall in love with a box-shaped cabin, we probably wouldn't believe you. Then again, we had yet to encounter the Casa Klotz.
Sure it may be nothing more than a giant box, but it's absolutely stunning. The structure itself was developed and designed by Mathias Klotz back in 1991 for his mother, and is nestled in a rural area of Chile right near the beach. The home is constructed from wood that has been painted white, features 2 levels of living space, and a rear entrance ramp along with a front ramp that leads up to an awesome porch for catching some rays during the summer season.

The powder induction mixer in Canada has evolved significantly over the years. In the past, the process industry was frequently subjected to long production times and high processing costs. This was typically due to an inability to effectively mix liquid batches with solids. Eventually, powder induction equipment was combined with a pump and mixer system that sped up the process, but there were still problems. The most common problem was the tendency for clogging. At the same time, maintenance costs were prohibitively high and it was necessary for operators to hold down feed rates in order to prevent clogging.
Today, the powder induction mixer in Canada has been able to overcome many of these challenges by making it possible to combine liquids and powders at the same time. Now, the eductor and pump have been eliminated completely. Powders can now be injected directly into special mixers, which allow the powder to be dispersed instantly into the liquid stream. As a result, the powder induction mixer in Canada has made it possible to reduce mixing cycles by as much as 50%. If you are interested in lowering maintenance costs and boosting production times, the power induction mixer could be a great choice.

Encourage recycling and save the planet
WE ALL know how damaging to sea life the plastic bag is and how it is choking up beaches around the world.
However, there is another treacherous item floating in the oceans and proving just as lethal - the humble plastic bottle.
There are a million plastic bottles bought every single minute and estimated to increase by 20 per cent by 2021.
The demand for bottled water is so great that 20,000 bottles are sold every second.
Less than half are collected for recycling into new bottles and most finish up in landfill or in the oceans.
More than 13 million tonnes leak into the oceans each year and are ingested by fish, sea birds and other organisms.
Research indicates there will be more plastic by weight than fish in the oceans and even more scary, experts say it will soon find its way into the human food chain.
Even Arctic beaches are becoming heavily polluted and many UK beaches are taking on the appearance of plastic tips.
It is reported the weight of plastic in the world equals the weight of humanity.
How can we overcome the problem?
Well we can adopt the recycling example of Norway where 97 per cent of their plastic is recycled.
The Norwegian system is simple and cost effective as it uses a deposit system on plastic bottles and retailer reward system to encourage recycling.
Consumers pay a small deposit on bottles which is paid back when the bottle is returned.
Simple, and other European countries are considering adopting the Norwegian system. We can do the same.

Strudthoff finding smiles throughout MHS
Anusha Vadlamani | Staff Writer
Photographing 360 smiles in 180 days is no easy task, but Bud Strudthoff is welcoming the challenge.
Strudthoff, an eleventh grade intervention specialist, is taking the time to highlight student happiness through his project "360 Smiles." In a project that is new to Mason this year, Strudthoff photographs two students he sees smiling each day and asks for the reason behind their smile. He later posts the pictures and the students' responses on Twitter under the hashtag "360 Smiles."
The ultimate goal for Strudthoff is to be able to photograph and talk to two students a day for all of the 180 school days for a total of 360 smiles. He is achieving his goal by choosing a different classroom each day and asking students within the class if they had something to smile about. An aspect of the project that Strudthoff said an important aspect to focus on when photographing students is to represent the diversity of Mason.
"I tried to get a true cross section of the Mason population. It could be anything from work-study students to students in AP calculus, to football players," Strudthoff said. "Ultimately I was just trying to get a broad picture of everyone."
Intervention specialist Bud Strudthoff photographs junior Kevin Tang for one of his 360 smiles.
The project is a reinforcement of the positive direction that Mason High School is trying to move forward in this year. Strudthoff said the project would help contribute to and advance the constructive atmosphere of the building.
"One of the things that we're focusing on as a building this year is really embracing a positive climate and a culture within the building, and that's really what started it for me," Strudthoff said. "Just to remind people to be light and fun and that it's okay to not be serious all the time."
The inspiration to start the project was to focus on the simple acts that caused people to smile, which, Strudthoff said, allowed the students to reflect on their positive experiences.
"It was ultimately just thinking about the little things everyday that make people happy and make people smile. I think a lot of the time we just go through our day and follow the same routine," Strudthoff said. "It was a quick and easy way to make people think about what actually had an impact on them, what made them happy, what made them smile that day."
The project is meant to bring emphasis to the evolving approach Mason High School is taking towards student awareness. Senior Lauren Masters said she was pleasantly surprised when Strudthoff approached her to ask for the reason behind her smile.
"I felt as though he was really interested in what I had to say and was really genuinely curious about what I had to say," said Masters. "It made me reflect on what made my day and what actually made me smile."
The most rewarding experience for Strudthoff, so far, has been being able to see that students, such as freshman Maleah Kaneshiro, are understanding and supporting his message. She encouraged her peers to talk to Strudthoff and to also have their picture taken when he approached them in class.
"I checked in with a class the other day and I was trying to see who I could photograph that day and a girl was like 'Oh I already had my picture taken you guys should do it too, it's really awesome," Strudthoff said. "The fact that she was an advocate for it, that made me happy."
Kaneshiro said she is an advocate for Strudthoff's project because it offers the motivation to push through the struggles of high school.
"A lot of negative stuff happens at school, and sometimes people are just mean," Kaneshiro said. "When he was positive it really helped a lot because it showed that people could talk to him and that he's a good person that cares."
Senior Tamara Montes said Strudthoff's project benefits students by helping them to focus on the bright features of their day, which aids in maximizing their optimism.
"He's trying to find the good things in the days even though we all have really bad days and bad moments in the days," Montes said. "I think it's really neat that he's pulling good things and good smiles because smiles make people smile."

1998) supported the view that there is not a direct and linear progression from infantile realism to nominalist thinking, and that literacy is an important factor in this process' (Jean Piaget Society 1998). In other words, the idea (of most grown–ups, as well as Piaget) that 'names' do not 'form' benamed objects but are mere signifiers signifying 'given forms' seems to go hand in hand with perceiving 'names' as separated things. The precondition for perceiving 'names' out there is the possibility to 'place them' out there –using 'written language'.
