REPUBLIC SERVICES would like to remind residents when putting out bagged trash or yard waste to please limit the weight to 50 pounds per bag or, if there is space, place the bag in your 96 gallon trash cart. In the event the bag was not collected check for an orange sticker that will explain why it was left. It may be necessary to split the contents of the bag into two bags to reduce the weight. If the bag was not collected and there is no orange sticker please leave it because it will be collected by another truck that services bulky items.
In October 2015, the Copley Township Board of Trustees awarded a five-year single hauler bid to REPUBLIC SERVICES for residential trash and recycling services. The service takes effect January 1, 2016. This program reduces the cost of trash and recycling collection for our residents, reduces the amount of truck traffic on our road system, and makes annual trash and recycling reporting to county authorities easier.
Copley Township is one of the last communities in Summit County to enter into such a contract where they have been used successfully by those communities for several years.
Exemptions: Condominium and apartment associations.
Please contact Republic Services at 1-800-247-3644 to sign up for service. Your current hauler will collect their containers.
Questions? Call 1-800-247-3644.

- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades

These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy.

- Abstract:
- We investigate the dynamics of a simple model of a wheelset that supports one end of a railway freight wagon by springs with linear characteristics and dry friction dampers. The wagon runs on an ideal, straight and level track with constant speed. The lateral dynamics in dependence on the speed is examined. We have included stick-slip and hysteresis in our model of the dry friction and assume that Coulomb's law holds during the slip phase. It is found that the action of dry friction completely changes the bifurcation diagram, and that the longitudinal component of the dry friction damping forces destabilizes the wagon.

These will be the 32 most powerful economies in the world by 2050
By 2050, the world is likely to have changed drastically from what we know now, and the planet's economic and financial landscape will be no exception.
By 2050, the world is likely to have changed drastically from what we know now, and the planet's economic and financial landscape will be no exception.
One banker said at the beginning of 2016: 'Sell everything except high-quality bonds. This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small.'
LSE academics want to 'revolutionise how we think about human priorities' and promote use of 'subjective wellbeing' as a measure of successful governance, instead of economy
...and four other important economic stories to look out for this week
The mere fact that Faiz Siddiqui made it to Oxford is evidence that he was already part of a powerful and privileged network created by a 'path dependent' process – one that confers advantages in terms of skills and social connections that most people never had
It is hard to compare Donald Trump to anyone else in American politics, especially when it comes to the economy. The president-elect plans to combine restrictions on goods imported from abroad, which are usually advocated by liberal politicians, with conventionally Republican policies, such as tax relief for the wealthy and major corporations, along with more federal borrowing.
The cut in corporation tax would reduce the incentive to shuffle money offshore – countries that compete by having low corporation tax rates would suddenly find that advantage swept away. The playing field would be levelled towards the US
You can see the scale of this shift gradually dawning on the financial markets this week. To take one particular measure of the expected rise in interest rates, the yield on ten-year US Treasury securities rose from just over 1.8 per cent on Monday to nearly 2.2 per cent on Friday
Panicked customers queued for hours at banks while fistfights broke out at petrol pumps when clerks ran out of change
The Donald's attitude to the US Federal Reserve is hostile. How this might pan out is anybody's guess – but a threat to the stability of the dollar could destabilise the entire world economy
The new technologies do not entail a radical reshaping of modes of doing things. A driverless car is still a car. The internet and email may improve the speed of communication but it is not as radical as the advent of telephony
This week in economics look out for US GDP figures, index of services and US consumer surveys
Whoever wins will have to lead a deeply divided nation, socially, politically, geographically and structurally. Even a Clinton victory would not be a recipe for calm
The presidential election, whoever wins, may see a shift in the position of the US on freedom of global trade and investment flows
What does GDP tell us about how prepared an apprentice or graduate is for their first day at work? What do gross margins let us know about the integrity of the financial services industry? Little to nothing
Negative rates point to the fact that the global economic system cannot generate sufficient income to service, let alone repay, current debt levels - and that means trouble
The nations may agree to a production freeze, which could have an immediate impact on prices. Plus the other economic stories to look out for in the next seven days

740 Tasting Notes
Shae sent this to me to try…I can't remember if I saw this in her cupboard and requested or if she chose it for me. Though really, that doesn't matter. This is a really nice tea, though I am not really getting any pear flavour….more apple and spice. Still, it is quite tasty. I love how it smells in the bag. The nutty aspect comes out to me more in a full body starchy way, rather than a direct nutty taste.
I'm glad I as able to try this. :)
This is a much overdue note on this tea, which came as a sample when Tea Ave first opened. I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to get to this, but I think it is in part that I was in a pu erh phase for a while, and then green…and it has been green for a bit, probably because of the summer. I've also been trying to have less caffeine teas. But as summer has faded, and fall in fully here, along with the rainstorms, it seemed like a good time to break out a nice roasted oolong tea, and so, last night, it was the right time. I had gotten soaked and drenched and all other related words on my way to work in the morning. My shoes and socks were still wet when I got home, and a small bit of my pants by my ankles was still damp. I decided it was the night to have soup (winter squash and mascarpone with lima beans) and toasted bread (raisin, cranberry, and walnut) for dinner….this tea seemed up to the job in comfort, and seemed like a good match.
I admit that I'm not the hugest connoisseur when it comes to straight teas and deciphering subtle notes, but I want to say that this was nice and roasty, maybe with some bittersweet cocoa notes. It's hard to say. It basically tasted like a nice roasted oolong, and I don't really discriminate straight oolongs. I very rarely find one I don't like. This was no exception. It was quite tasty, and it fit the bill for what I was looking for.
This was drunk without anything added. which I don't usually do…I usually add a small amount of cane sugar to most teas. I also brewed this western style. As I had this later in the evening, and fell asleep at 8:30 or 9 and didn't wake up til after 1, it was the only cup I had. Future use should allow multiple steeps, as I had intended this serving to be, til I fell asleep.
I am grateful that this is one of the samples that I was sent, because I do really like darker and roasted oolongs.
Tried this a few ways…as an iced latte at first, and then, feeling like it was hard to pull out any subtle spices and flavours, I tried it on it's own. I got a slight metallic taste, but nothing that really resembled pumpkin spice. I think that this kind of matcha is destined to be a latte with only a light sweetness, but not much else. I don't know if I would get more to play with, to see if I could drink straight without the metallic taste, and try to get the best flavour out of, but I might just try another flavour instead. I'm on the fence with this one now…
No, it didn't smell strong as some of the others, but I put that at being more because of the actual flavour being a little more subtle and so forth…but yeah, pretty mild on both accounts.
I want to like this, but something is weird with the aftertaste mixed with the apricot. Almost medicinal. Also, for a tea called Nutty By Nature, and loaded up with nuts, I sure don't taste any. I got a small sample bag to get 2-3 servings. I will manage to get through the rest, but not going to refill.
Sipdown…I had the last of this, and I added milk to it. That seemed to make it go down better, but it is not my favourite. Sad, because I like honeybush, and all the things in this, so in theory, I should really like this…but there is something off tasting, and I am not sure what it is. Is it hidden licorice? Something in the artificial flavouring? I don't know. I had hoped to find a nice comforting caffeine free blend for the cooler weather, but I don't think this is it.
I was in DT tonight, to get a latte before heading home in some light drizzle. This was one of the tins on the counter that was needing to be put away. I smelled it, and was like, this has hibby in it, right? The SA said yes, but it is at the bottom of the list, so it is not too prominent. So, on impulse, I bought it, despite being a hibby hater.
It is a bit tart, which is to be expected when you see cranberry in the name. That said, it is far the most tart hibby laden tea I have had. I dare say this is acceptably tart, but not over tart. The orange and cranberry are the forward most notes I taste, followed by cinnamon and bread/oaty notes in the end.
It's interesting. Like another reviewer said, the first few sips taste good, and then it becomes a little herbal. Things I could not taste in the initial sips, come out as my mug is nearing halfway empty. Is this bad? Well, yes and no. It doesn't taste that bad, but the muffin-ness begins to disappear at this point. The tea gets slightly more tart the more I drink it.
So how do I like this blend? I don't dislike it immensely, or hate it, as I do a lot of blends with hibiscus in them (there are only a few that I do like that have hibby). I like this enough to continue drinking this mug, instead of tossing it out. Having a tea with dandelion in it, that doesn't taste too much like dirt, might have a place in my cupboard, since dandelion is really good for you. It does have the advantage of being good hot, and caffeine free. I have probably one more serving, so I will reserve judgement to see if I want more than my initial 10g bag. But…I don't hate this one.
I made an iced latte of this when I got home. I got this and the two other new pumpkin teas today, along with a bunch of samples (10-12g bags) for my sister cousin (my step-brother's half sister) in Tennessee. She lives nowhere near a DT. I am making her a care package with some DAVIDs and LUSH samples as she was kind enough to drive me around Madison, WI last weekend for her sister's wedding. I may go back and get another batch to add to the 8 teas I am already sending.
Anyway, I got the blueberry matcha as an iced latte to go, and I made this as an iced latte when I got home. Both were very tasty, however I'm unsure I pick up much of either blueberry or pumpkin pie. I think that perhaps the latte treatment has made the subtle flavours more background than foreground, or even middle ground. Maybe I ought to have tried it before adding the frothed milk and ice, but then it might have been too strong. I dunno. I only got 10g of the teas today, and for the latte, I pretty much used the whole packet, so I don't have much more I can try now by itself. I think I will look at picking more of it up, maybe with the other flavours and maybe more straight matcha. I have been kinda wanting the matcha maker mug. Been trying to convince myself I need it vs want it.
Anyway…as a matcha, it is tasty, at least as I have made it, but I do want to try it more as a straight matcha without milk.
Sipdown…though I could swear I already made a steeping note on this one, but I guess not. I seem to remember from my initial steep of this, that I had added milk, and while it was tasty, the base was quite mild, and the milk masked a bit of the tea's flavour, so I vowed to go without milk when I made it next. So this brings us on to today's steep!
I woke up quite cold, and it was chilly in the room, and I was super tired, so I wanted a back tea to wake me up, and something to wrap me in a comforting warm hug, so I pulled this one out. I used the rest of the packet, which was a little more than the suggested serving size, but remembering the weaker base, I was not too worried about over leafing. My mind was in a weird space at work today because I basically had to go in and finish the project I had started yesterday. I got pulled away from doing it for a few hours, though I did what I could when I had the chance. Normally, this project, which is weekly, takes several hours…4-6 and sometimes more, depending on how many distractions and interruptions I get. Anyway, I was in a mood because I had to finish this stuff this morning, and they have rearranged things in the back, and I hate it. I can see some of the benefit of the change, but I also see issues. Anyways, that stuff plus my throat being sore and being tired and moody, I just kinda sucked this down like liquid comfort, and didn't pay much attention to what I was drinking, other than it was tasty.
Take two, and I am at home, and it is chilly in here, and I decided to resteep the leaves from this morning, for one more cuppa. It's smooth and sweet with caramel, but I am unsure I am getting much popcorn, other than maybe a light starchy feeling. Admittedly, I am not picking up the flavours that well, as I am having it with my dinner (leftover harissa chicken and veg with quinoa pilaf from when we went out last night with a friend in town). I have a bazillion insane and amazing flavours in my mouth from the food.
I do really like this tea, actually, and I'd love to have more where I could play with using more so that I could milk it up as a latte for more decadent comfort. Thanks for sending this one to me DeleriumsFrog! It was a winner!
I'm not sure I am qualified to make a proper tasting note on this today, because I have that sour taste in my mouth from the beef pho that I made last night…I had the rest today, since I am still working on rehydration, as I need some blood work done in the next few days, and I need my blood vessels nice and plump instead of being prodded and poked and told to go home and come back later when I was not dehydrated….and I feel like I've felt unwell the last few days due to a mild stomach virus and minor dehydration.
Anyway, on to this tea. I made this one today because I woke up with a terrible headache today, and I went back to sleep and only got up when my husband phoned to tell me that he was gifted an Apple Watch by our friend who he is with (and supporting/working with) at the Edmonton Fringe. For some reasons, I like simple and uncomplicated black teas when I have headaches. I was not 100% sure what to expect because I didn't really read much to the notes on this one, but only that it was DeleriumsFrog's favourite Harney & Sons Tea (as she noted on the baggie.
Did this do the trick? I think so, but it is hard to get a true feel of this tea because of the lingering sour taste I have in my mouth from the pho from earlier. I'll have to try this again when I have a clearer head and palate again.
