Great Expectationsby Charles Dickens
One of the most popular novelists ever, Charles Dickens wrote about what he saw in 19th century London: orphans, child labor, and the crime that was rampant in the city at the time. In the 1861 bestseller Great Expectations, he wove all of these themes into a tale of mystery and personal development. The story of a young orphan boy--poor and alone, but whisked away to London by a anonymous benefactor--is a fantastic tale, complete with plot twists and a love story that puts many modern novels to shame. To this day, Great Expectations remains one of Dickens's greatest achievements. Now available as part of the Canterbury Classics singles series, the novel is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers.
Great Expectationsby Charles Dickens
My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip. I give Pirrip as my father's family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister,-Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription, "Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine,-who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle,-I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence.

Dickens' epic literary Masterpiece From the agony of Charles Dickens' disenchantment with the Victorian middle class comes a novel of spellbinding mystery and a profound examination of moral values--this is the story of the orphan Pip's trials and tribulations among London's high society circles.
Great Expectations (Abridged)by Charles Dickens
Great Expectations chronicles the progress of Pip from childhood through adulthood. As he moves from the marshes of Kent to London society, he encounters a variety of extraordinary characters: from Magwitch, the escaped convict, to Miss Havisham and her ward, the arrogant and beautiful Estella. In this fascinating story, Dickens shows the dangers of being driven by a desire for wealth and social status. Pip must establish a sense of self against the plans which others seem to have for him - and somehow discover a firm set of values and priorities.
Great Expectations: Abridged with Introduction and Notesby Charles Dickens Blanche Jennings Thompson
A poor, abused orphan boy; a simple, kindly blacksmith and his shrewish wife; a proud and beautiful girl, brought up to hate all men; a madwoman; an escaped convict; and a most astonishing assortment of crooks, murderers, swindlers, and hypocrites, with two or three decent people thrown in for good measure are the ingredients of this mystery story of Charles Dickens in an abridged edition.
Great Expectations (Adapted)by Charles Dickens Monica Kulling
One of Charles Dickens's most fascinating novels, Great Expectations follows the orphan Pip as he leaves behind a childhood of misery and poverty after an anonymous benefactor offers him a chance at the life of a gentleman. From the young Pip's first terrifying encounter with the convict Magwitch in the gloom of a graveyard to the splendidly morbid set pieces in Miss Havisham's mansion to the magnificently realized boat chase down the Thames, Great Expectations is filled with the transcendent excitement that Dickens could so abundantly provide. Written in 1860, at the height of his maturity, it also reveals the novelist's bittersweet understanding of the extent to which our deepest moral dilemmas are born of our own obsessions and illusions. This edition includes Dickens's original, discarded conclusion to the novel, the 1907 Everyman preface by G. K. Chesterton, and twenty illustrations by F. W. Pailthorpe.
Great Expectations: An Adapted Classicby Charles Dickens
Humbled, orphaned Pip is apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman -- and one day he finds himself in possession of "great expectations." One of Dickens' finest novels, this is a gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward.
Great Expectations (Oxford World's Classics)by Charles Dickens

Great Expectations (Puffin Abridged Version)by Roddy Doyle Charles Dickens
As a small boy at Joe Gargery's forge, Pip meets two people who will affect his whole life - an escaped convict he is forced to help, and the eccentric Miss Haversham, whose beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella young Pip adores. But when a secret benefactor pays for him to go to London to become a gentleman, Pip never dreams he will meet the dreadful Magwitch again, nor just how wrong his expectations are.

Hard Timesby Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens's moral tale of utilitarian values run amok The industrial burg of Coketown is dominated by the philosophy of utilitarianism. The mill is the center of commerce. Students in the school are instructed to recite rote facts and figures while repressing any creative instincts. Thomas Gradgrind, the school superintendent, is a strict devotee of practicality and has raised his children, Tom and Louisa, according to this philosophy. It is only Sissy Jupe, a circus girl taken in by the Gradgrinds, who possesses the vision and wonderment to see past the rigid boundaries of cold, hard facts. A paean to the human spirit, Hard Times is among Dickens's most cutting works of social commentary. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
Hard Timesby Charles Dickens
Book Description Woes of Victorian life for the underclass.
Hard Timesby Charles Dickens
"My satire is against those who see figures and averages, and nothing else," proclaimed Charles Dickens in explaining the theme of this classic novel. Published in 1854, the story concerns one Thomas Gradgrind, a "fanatic of the demonstrable fact," who raises his children, Tom and Louisa, in a stifling and arid atmosphere of grim practicality.Without a moral compass to guide them, the children sink into lives of desperation and despair, played out against the grim background of Coketown, a wretched community shadowed by an industrial behemoth. Louisa falls into a loveless marriage with Josiah Bouderby, a vulgar banker, while the unscrupulous Tom, totally lacking in principle, becomes a thief who frames an innocent man for his crime. Witnessing the degradation and downfall of his children, Gradgrind realizes that his own misguided principles have ruined their lives.Considered Dickens' harshest indictment of mid-19th-century industrial practices and their dehumanizing effects, this novel offers a fascinating tapestry of Victorian life, filled with the richness of detail, brilliant characterization, and passionate social concern that typify the novelist's finest creations.Of Dickens' work, the eminent Victorian critic John Ruskin had this to say: "He is entirely right in his main drift and purpose in every book he has written; and all of them, but especially Hard Times, should be studied with close and earnest care by persons interested in social questions."

Hard Timesby Charles Dickens
Dickens's widely read satirical account of the Industrial Revolution. Dickens creates the Victorian industrial city of Coketown, in northern England, and its unforgettable citizens, such as the unwavering utilitarian Thomas Gradgrind and the factory owner Josiah Bounderby, and the result is his famous critique of capitalist philosophy, the exploitative force he believed was destroying human creativity and joy. This edition includes new notes to the text.From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Haunted Houseby Charles Dickens
Revered as one of the greatest writers in the English language, Charles Dickens is celebrated for his masterful storytelling, comic genius, and remarkably memorable characters. His early novels, such as The Pickwick Papers and The Adventures of Oliver Twist, were originally published in monthly installments, capturing a growing audience that quickly spread from England to America. Two centuries later, his popularity endures as readers revel in the warm humanity of his tales of self-discovery--and delight in the annual tradition of revisiting his holiday stories.Following the tremendous success of A Christmas Carol in 1843, there was great demand for more tales of ghostly visitation, and the great Victorian storyteller happily obliged with spellbinding tales such as The Haunted House. The drama begins with a Yuletide gathering in an eerie country retreat that's rumored to be haunted. There, Dickens and his friends, including acclaimed authors Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins, take on the task of finding evidence of a supernatural presence in the house. When they reconvene at a Twelfth Night feast to review their findings, what will their stories reveal?
The Haunted Houseby Charles Dickens Wesley Stace
On Christmas Eve, a party of friends descends on a purportedly haunted country retreat, charged with the task of discovering evidence of the supernatural. Sequestered in their rooms for the holiday, the friends reconvene on Twelfth Night at a great feast and share their stories of spectral encounter. "Conducted" by Charles Dickens and counting Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins among its contributors, The Haunted House examines quintessentially Victorian themes-sex and longing, nostalgia and loss-in ways that continue to resonate today. Ingeniously conceived and written, and spiked with flashes of Dickensian humor, this volume is a strange and sheer delight. From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargaby Charles Dickens
This Christmas novella is centered around Professor Redlaw and those close to him, and touches more on the spirit of the holidays than the holidays themselves.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Hello! So I love all the fashion advice you give so I thought I'd ask you first. Soo in May Mayweather will be in Vegas and I want to be extra cute because there is bound to be ballers around and my bff's bf's friends all play in the NFL and they're going to be around. I've never partied in Vegas like that and I damn sure ain't never been to a Mayweather fight. Any advice on what I can wear to the fight on a day to day, bathing suites (and cover ups), and grown up club attire? I'm not trying to look like THOT of the year around these men. Again I looove everything you ever post... Oh! Maybe this can be a post since the fight is about 5 weeks away!!! Well i hope to hear from you soon!
Well, I have created a few looks for you and they will definitely have all eyes on you for the big weekend. I am all for looking classy with a bit of sexiness. Your look is suppose to say a lot without saying anything at all.
In the first look, I went for elegance with a splash of sexiness for the actual fight night. The look features a brown leopard print bralet, cream trousers, Jeffrey Campbell brown suede pumps, and dark brown Chanel bag (Rebecca Minkoff affordable), and a brown floppy hat. Don't forget your pop of color, red lipstick.
For the daytime festivities, I am going casual and chic. The look features a white sleeveless fitted crop top, mid rise boyfriend jeans, gold body chain, white shoulder bag, and gold Giuseppe Zanotti pumps.
Keep it simple but flawless!
Day two daytime look can be relaxing but very sexy… Check out the deers below:
This daytime look is all about choices. I went for a fitted crop top but couldn't decide between the black or white. Both tops are a great pair with the blue embellished shorts, blue cat eye sunglasses, chunky necklace, BCBG clutch, and black gladiator sandals to bring out the black in the shorts or top.
Talk about another sexy evening look. This look is all about the colors. Nothing like an ivory asymmetrical dress, neon matte leather sandals, and Chanel colorful bag (available in stores only). I wouldn't do color for the lips, just a little nude.
After putting these looks together, I wish I had bought my ticket for this fight. Well that is it for the fight weekend in Vegas. For swimsuit detail check out our previous post here, and here.
See anything you like?

I loving what I see!... another wonderful fashion inspiration post!

the brown pumps and the gold pumps are calling my name. i love the first look especially
@MIS Yes! I love those gold pumps! I always love Peachkyss' fashion sense.
@11 yes...totally agree with you. I love all but the 1st look....I can envision myself in it.

- Nehemiah 4:18
"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

When the sale is completed, the agent gives a portion of their fee to Real Estate For Life as a referral fee. Real Estate For Life gives 80% of that fee to one of the pro-life organizations they work with: a house with a value of $150,000 means $1000 goes to the pro-life organization.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

With the MilwaukeeHome stage showcasing more than 25 Milwaukee artists in one day and even more artists performing on their own, 2014 is poised to be the best year yet for Milwaukee representation at SXSW.

More artists will join soon, so hopefully we can get everything you need to see.

"One of the friends is a rock star, and Mr. Butler didn't have to make that up. He went to high school with Justin Vernon, lead singer of Bon Iver. And it doesn't hurt for a book about a poky farm community to have a rock star lodged somewhere in its collective history." »Read Full Blog Post

ARMA 3, a unique sandbox-style combat gameplay experience in the most detailed environment of the series to-date.
Well, 2 days after release, really basis of the game is ****** (gently sayed).
- Ai are terrible - no reaction for grenades, cannot reverse when there is any AI 10M nearby, Cannot follow team leader when in "Combat" behavior (automaticly after contact with enemy), Canot drive in convoy, cannot obey simply orders in vehicles (orders by AWSD).
- PhysX engine totally mess (update is available, but isnt appliedy by developers, which act there is no problem) - We drive tank, start to turn, and our tank is throwed 20M away with 100KM/H which resoult dead when hit in anything (we are throwed in random way) - tank cannot reverse, so they start to rotate instead reversing - turning = physX kick.
- TrueSky plugin, which is responsible for transforming clouds when we move camera being updated, but totally ignored by the developers (Developers paying for it, and dont update it! Same with PhysX SDK)
- Such few weapons and so much DLC's - all content should be in game by default, but developers created sensless competition (who the hell ever needed it?) and given houndrets of tousands $ for winners, just to give reason to create payed DLC to refil costs of this competition.
- Only plus is a graphic engine and lot of available animations.
You can tell me "Why you havent reported it on feedback tracker (support site)?
I reported it, same as tousands users - ignored since 2 years - THANK YOU BOHEMIA, FOR ******* 10 000 PEOPLES!
Lots of Potential, misused by community.
Very realistic game with nice storyline, And objectives to complete, but overall it feels too boring and repeatitive .
Third person mode does not belong in a milsim! What the hell were you thinking, BI? Nobody ******* plays Hardcore servers, and I want a proper ARMA experience not some 3rd person wall-sitting Xray ********.
This is a "military simulator" game and yet there are no tactics ever used. Only the 3rd person cheating strategy. Pathetic.
Performance could be better
Same Arma 2,but on different engine that eats a lot of power to be runned.Price is too high,and sometimes you can't really play it without help.
8/10 for a nice try
this game is one of a kind.. i've been playing the arma series game since i was 7 years old, at the time it was called Operation Flashpoint and as a kid i can tell this is a much much better alternative to army men (one of those small soldier toys) with Bohemia's powerful Mission Editor is where all my imaginations gone wild!
thank you Bohemia Interactive for making my childhood a jolly good fun
P.S. stop making futuristic content
am lag this connecting server Arma 3 bad in speed to Internet?
not work =(
the game for ARMA 3 bad very on physics and glitch lags =(
one of the worstest game ever:
- all of its features are not properly added like physx etc.
- no ponds/rivers/inland water and that for a game which was release in 2013 but in arma 2 ponds were supported ?!
- very bad performance in SP aswell as in MP.
- Low CPU usage, some parts of the engine are very outdated like the CPU usage. This Game runs mostly on one Core.
- Its a sandbox game, but its more limited than most people know, for example: this game can not run huge battles with many AI. this game is more made for small spec ops missions or zombie survival missions where you are alone as survivor fighting zombie AI. one of the reason for that is that the CPU usage of this engine is ****. so its a very limited sandbox game which does not let you make things what you want, only if you accept huge FPS problems.
- the engine itself is very limited in many terms: modeling is very limited, some modder who made buildings for arma 3 abadoned theyr project due to the limitations. same for terrain in terms of object placement and size and and and..
- NO proper multi-core / multi-threading and 64bit support and that in 2013 and for a large scale game like this, multi-core / multi-threading & 64bit is a MUST!
- Alot of problems with the AI
now to the devs why they are one of the worstest out there:
- the devs are only fixing minor bugs, and making small optimizations but giving the game a great FPS boost by adding proper multi-core / multi-threading support does not happen.
- the devs didnt fixed many AI problems and now the guy who works on VCOM AI, fixed the AI driving which was not fixed by any BI dev for 13 years! i cant believe that a modder has to fix what BI didnt fixed in such long time.
- BI dont care when people steal and selling mods and i will explain why in the community part:
why the arma community is one of the worstest:
- people start to steal mods and selling as theyr own for money. especially after arma 3 life when arma 3 life got away with it and BI took no action. now more and more people start to steal mods or models from other games and sell them. last time, a french life mod was found that they stole models from other arma 3 modders and sold them, same for a mission which can be found at the BI forum and that all after they saw BI took no action against arma 3 life.
- alot of fanboys are out there who cant accept critism against BI or arma 3. alot of community members cant deal with it when you speak about the problems of arma 3 (especially when it comes to the CPU problem). most members in the forum are buttsniffer who has theyr head in bohemias ***.

The Perils of Jointly Held General Powers of Appointment
Bridget J. Crawford
Pace University School of Law
April 23, 2012
Tax Notes, Vol. 135, No. 4, 2012
This article provides an overview of the estate tax consequences of jointly-held general powers of appointment. To avoid triggering estate tax inclusion, a general power should be held with either the creator of the power or a person having a 'substantial' and 'adverse' interest in the exercise of the power. The determination that an interest is substantially adverse to the powerholder's requires careful reference to the regulations. Jointly-held general powers of appointment are so complicated that they rarely are the most efficient drafting choice.

Police need to build strong relationships with the communities they serve in order to develop a mutual trust and understanding, panelists agreed during a Sept. 13 discussion at Penn State Harrisburg.
In Susquehanna Township, police responded to about 15,000 calls this year, said Robert Martin, the township's public safety director. When this number is multiplied by the police departments throughout the nation, police have millions of interactions with the public, and yet they are scrutinized based on only a few.
Many members of the public consume news and gain familiarity with the names of those killed by police in recent years, including Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray and Walter Scott, said Jennifer Gibbs of Penn State.
Moderator Shaun Gabbidon, distinguished professor or criminal justice at Penn State, said finding the exact number of police shootings per year has proven difficult. The FBI has placed the number at about 400 per year, while media investigations have shown 945 to 1,100 per year. Local police have not been given an effective way to report officer involved shootings to improve accountability for police nationwide.
These heavily publicized police shootings, especially when scrutinized by the media without an understanding of the entire incident and circumstances, fueled a misconception that "racial misconduct is the rule," said Jason Umberger, police chief in Swatara Township. "It lit a fire, especially in minority communities," he said.
"Violence and hateful rhetoric against police is at an all-time high," he said.
Martin began his remarks by reminding the audience that law enforcement officers are killed in the line of duty often, about one every 61 hours.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund reported 123 deaths in the line of duty during 2015, with 41 deaths from shootings. Comparing year-to-date law enforcement fatalities through Sept. 15 of both years, 83 officers died in 2016, two fewer than the same period in 2015. From 2015, the other top causes of officers' deaths include 34 killed in auto crashes, 22 from job-related illnesses and 10 struck by a vehicle. The same source reports that about 200 officers died in line of duty from 1967 to 1982, which was the worst period for police deaths except for the period of Prohibition.
Relationships key
Umberger and Martin agreed that building relationships and trust are key to maintaining a strong relationship with residents of the communities they serve.
"Most times we are called to have contact with people are unfortunate events," Martin said. Instead, he wants officers "out of the car, interacting with the public in positive situations," he said.
"One of the worst inventions and one of the best inventions is the climate controlled police car," he said. This began when more people had moved to the suburbs from the cities. "Foot patrol was no longer conducive," he said. However, using cars to cover a larger area meant that officers are "not on foot having personal contact."
"The best policing takes place when the officer is out of the car, not in the car," he said.
This emphasis on community policing got a boost in the 1990s, thanks to the support of President Bill Clinton, Martin said.
Umburger said community policing relies on using officers nondirected time for positive interactions. He said he's encouraged by initiatives his officers take, including stopping at schools and having lunch with students.
Swatara Townnship police spent about 82 percent of their shifts with directed time, which is the time they are responding to calls, Umburger said. In order to increase his officers available time for an ideal amount of community policing, they should raise that 18 percent in nondirected time to about 45 percent. However, based on Swatara Township Police's current call volume, they would need 20 new officers to make that happen.
An emphasis on making the best use of nondirected time for community policing is a topic Umberger said he uses in officer performance reviews to provide encouragement.
Research to back it up?
Jonathan Lee, a Penn State professor and consultant to local police departments, cited opinion polls, specific to Pennsylvania, that have shown that many people are generally supportive of the police, with more than 80 percent of respondents having confidence in the police. The support is particularly strong from white people, but is not universal, said Lee, who was a panelist.
"Black respondents have low confidence in the police," Lee said.
Those who interacted with police, as a victim of crime or recipient of a traffic ticket, also show lower confidence than the study as a whole, Lee said.
Lee said a study of Penn State students also examined other variables that affect perceptions, including asking whether respondents knew an officer by his or her first name or if they feel comfortable speaking with them. When respondents had positive reactions — and a closer "social distance" — the difference in confidence level in the police was eliminated between black and white respondents. Lee said he hopes to expand the study to include Swatara Township and Harrisburg residents, and may eventually expand it to include all of Dauphin County.
Clues from history
In contrast, following the killing of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri, a national Gallup poll showed a higher distrust of police in the black community. At the time, both President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder acknowledged in public comments that there is a history of tension between police and the black community in many parts of the nation.
Blacks have historic reasons for being suspicious of police, Gabbidon said.
"The police have always been a part of black people's lives," he said. He referenced a history of issues black people in America have had with the police since the abolition of slavery.
Umberger stressed the role of police is to remain unbiased.
"Police swear an oath to the law without regard to race or social standing," he said.

The state Department of Revenue has announced guidelines for a state tax amnesty program adopted by the General Assembly as part of Act 84 of 2016, Rep. Ron Marsico, R-Lower Paxton, announced recently.
The program, which offers incentives to Pennsylvanians to settle their delinquent tax accounts, is expected to generate as much as $150 million in revenue for the commonwealth. The program does not "forgive" taxes owed but instead waives penalties, collection and lien fees, and half of the interest owed.
All taxes owed to the commonwealth administered by the Department of Revenue are eligible for the program. The delinquent taxes must have been owed as of Dec. 31, 2015. Any unpaid taxes, penalties and interest resulting from periods after Dec. 31, 2015, are not eligible for the program.
To participate, taxpayers must file an online amnesty return, file all delinquent tax returns and make the required payment within the amnesty. They must also ensure any unpaid taxes or unfiled returns not eligible for the program (after Dec. 31, 2015) are submitted.
The amnesty period runs from April 21, 2017, to June 19, 2017. More information is available at www.revenue.pa.gov.

Preventing another bird flu outbreak that could cost the poultry industry in Pennsylvania jobs and millions of dollars starts in places such as the Fish Commission boat launch at the end of South Union Street in Middletown.
Get there early enough, and you might catch Kyle Van Why, a wildlife disease biologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and his big net.
Van Why uses the net to catch ducks, which he swabs for samples to send to a lab for testing to see if the birds have influenza, and if so, what strain. Van Why then releases the ducks back into the Swatara Creek habitat from whence they came.
The boat launch in Middletown is among a number of locations throughout the Delaware and Susquehanna River watersheds that Van Why was visiting on a regular basis this summer as part of a broader effort by the USDA to stay on top of bird influenza in Pennsylvania.
Ducks and geese are natural carriers of influenza, Van Why says. Typically about one in 10 of these birds carry influenza. If that percentage starts going up sharply, or if the lab testing uncovers new and more virulent strains of the influenza, these are the red flags that alert the USDA to a bigger problem.
The concern is not over people getting sick, as bird influenza is "not a human communicable disease," said Van Why, who has a master's degree in wildlife management from Louisiana State University. He got his bachelor's degree in the same field from California University of Pennsylvania.
But if bird flu gets into poultry houses and spreads, it could have devastating effects upon an industry worth $13 billion in Pennsylvania, according to an estimate from state Department of Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding.
USDA used to only sample birds on a statewide basis, but in the past two years the agency has drilled down to doing sampling throughout specific watersheds, Van Why said.
The monitoring program seems to be working, at least in Pennsylvania, as "no highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses have been detected in Pennsylvania since the 1983-84 outbreak," according to information posted on the state Agriculture Department website.
The 1983-84 outbreak killed 17 million birds and cost the poultry industry in Pennsylvania about $65 million, according to estimates that have been provided by the state.
In 2015, a bird flu outbreak in Minnesota swept through more than 100 chicken and turkey farms in just one county.
"Imagine all those facilities having to shut down for six months," Van Why said. "That would devastate not only the county but portions of the state."
If you want to trap ducks, you go to a place where water fowl congregate naturally, which is why the Middletown boat launch was picked as a site.
There are a lot of wild ducks here, but people also introduce domestic ducks into the area.
That's not really a good idea, because the wild ducks can transit disease to the domestic ducks, Van Why said.
But the domestic ducks are more likely to come up to humans to be fed, and they bring the wild ducks with them. That makes Van Why's job of trapping the birds easier.
"I don't have to spend the time pre-baiting and coming out every day to teach them to come to food," he said.
Van Why works to get the birds close enough so that he can shoot a 30-by-40 net over them. The net gets launched into the air by firing a rifle blank that sounds like a car back-firing.
It's best to shoot the net out over the pavement leading up from the boat launch. If the net is shot out over water, it's too easy for the birds to swim out from under, Van Why said.
"I can come here, set the net up, shoot it and catch 15 to 30 birds in a morning and be done with my quota for a certain area," Van Why said. "Then I can go to another area and do the same thing. Ten mornings in a row I do that 10 times, I've just caught 200 birds."
Van Why started trapping ducks at the boat launch in July, shortly after he got approval from the borough since the land is publicly owned. Van Why continued coming back here to trap throughout August. He also plans to return to do some more trapping in the fall and winter.
Lab results from the ducks trapped and released at the boat launch haven't raised any red flags so far.
A "low percentage" of the birds have influenza, as Van Why expected to find.
"So far we have found the strains we expected in water fowl, which is good," he said.
USDA also works to assist municipalities and residents in cases where the water fowl population has gotten out of control in a certain area. That has not been the case at the boat launch in Middletown.
"They (borough officials) are pretty happy with what they have here," Van Why said. "I wouldn't say it's a problem. If you are on the river there are not a lot of birds. There might be 50 here — that's not a huge amount. When you walk up to 200 or 300, then it becomes a problem" because the more birds, the more feces that is spread everywhere.
Besides being a nuisance, the feces can contain bird influenza that people will pick up and spread by stepping on it in their shoes.
"If you walk through the feces here and go back to your farm and walk through your turkey barn and not practice biosecurity, you could be spreading disease," Van Why added.
