Caprese Chicken
I got the idea for this dish from a friend and knew immediately I just had to give it a try. It was so easy and packed so much flavor. The hubs and I pretty much love anything "caprese". I just can't get enough of the combination of balsamic vinegar, tomatoes, basil and lots and lots of mozzarella. I think you could make this any time of the year, but there is just something about these flavors that screams SUMMER! The only change going forward would be to add at least another 1/2 pint of tomatoes. http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a47169/caprese-chicken-recipe/

Okay, this is tricky. There's so much I want to talk about, but I can't because when I say spoiler-free I really mean it. I could take a shortcut and just say "SQUEEEEEEEEOMGWTFBBQ!!?!?!?!!?" but then that wouldn't really be writing, would it?
Let me begin by saying that sequels are a tricky business. Movie studios, even with a vast array of stories in the comic universe to choose from, have traditionally made a mess of sequels, and for many reasons. Two of the most common mistakes are: trying take ownership of the story by making changes that just don't make any sense at all (like Galactus being a freaking cloud), and trying to make it bigger and better than the first by adding too much in (why fight one villain when you can have three of them terrorizing the place!).
Joss Whedon, at least on the surface, commits both of these sins. The thing is he gets away with it because he manages to weave it all together into a strong story.
Too many movies try to put a flimsy story around a bunch of heroes and expect the money to roll in, but that hasn't been the case with most of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movies. Yes, there have been some weaker ones, but they're only weak when compared to the stronger films; a weaker MCU film is still at least as good as other superhero movies from other studios, if not generally better.
The key ingredients that make MCU films stand out so much are a strong story, characters who are real and three dimensional, and the right balance of action, humour, and emotion. Avengers: Age of Ultron manages to maintain that balance in the same way that Guardians of the Galaxy did, but it also adds in a few darker elements. The film is not overly dark, but it manages to add that to the balance that Guardians of the Galaxy pulled off so well without disrupting the other elements I expect to see from this franchise.
The thing I feared most, the thing I thought had the highest risk of being mishandled, ended up being very well done, and the interplay between all the characters built on the previous films in ways I didn't expect.
In short – I went in with high expectations and I was not disappointed.
A more spoilery review will follow after the rest of the Geeks of the Round has seen the film, most likely in another Coterie Convocation feature, but for now I give this movie 5 out of 6 Infinity Stones.
So, if you've seen the film, do you agree? If you haven't, what are you looking forward to most about it? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned for when my friends across the pond see this movie when it premieres U.S. theaters Friday May 1st!

Welcome to the 9th Infantry Division Research part of my website.
The main purpose of this website is to provide information about the World War 2 History of the great 9th Infantry Division and its men. To request information about a specific soldier or event, please fill in the form below.
Besides updating this website, I am working on several other projects as well:
1. Book
For the last couple of years I have been doing extensive research about the 9th Infantry Division's involvement in the Battle in the Huertgen Forest area between September 1944 and February 1945, and writing a book about it. Planned publication is sometime in 2019.
2. 9th Infantry Division Missing In Action Project.
Together with the amazing help of several very dedicated friends, we are trying to find out more about the 9th Infantry Division men who went Missing In Action during World War 2. We try to find relatives, friends or documentation to provide information about a soldier who went Missing In Action. This way we are able to provide the names on the Wall of Missing at the various American Cemeteries a face and a story, so they won't be forgotten. Visit the list of men here, and click on the names of those who have a Tribute Page to learn more about them: https://9thinfantrydivision.net/missing-in-action/.
3. Providing information about a soldier's service.
Besides these main projects, I am also offering help in finding out more information about the World War 2 service of a soldier of the 9th Infantry Division.
Detailed unit history information.
Learn more about the unit your soldier served with. I will provide general information so you will get to understand the complete picture of your soldier's service better.
Detailed information about the soldier.
I will look up information such as enlistment records, company, awards and other service records.
Detailed information surrounding the date of wounding, death or missing.
In case the soldier I have to research was Killed In Action or went Missing In Action, I will provide information surrounding the events and actions of the day he was killed.
The information for this soldier will be presented in a nice information package that I can email or, if you request so, mail to you. For this I am asking a voluntary donation to cover some of the costs I am making. If you wish to make a donation, please visit my donation page:
To make a voluntarily donation for my research, please use the below button.
Thank you for your consideration and donation.
I can assure you that your contribution will be used for 9th Infantry Division research only.
Please note: I am not an "Official Historian". I have a full time job, a family and all my research and writing is done in my spare time. I will try to get back to you as fast as possible, but sometimes it might take a couple of days. I have spent many hours, days and months studying reports, combat interviews, books, documentaries and maps to get a better view of the events that I am interested in. I have walked the former battlefields many times as well. As you can imagine, obtaining information such as reports and other personal information, requires some time. It is not always possible to find all the answers to our questions. It can be very frustrating at times when it takes months for me to find an answer to a certain question or to connect a certain event to a certain Company, but I will always share any information I can find with you.
Requesting Individual Personnel Files
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), Military Personnel Records, has custody of the personnel files for individuals who served in the Army, Army Air Forces, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard during World War II.
In July 1973, a fire destroyed 85 percent of the Army and Army Air Forces individual personnel files, but the NPRC staff often is able to locate basic information relevant to a person's service from other records in their custody. The fire did not affect records of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
The preferred method of requesting information from NPRC is via the web at
(when you open this link, you will find a lot of useful information as well).
Written requests may be submitted on Standard Form 180 (SF 180), Request
Pertaining to Military Records, a form and other information about NPRC can be found at:
Requesting Individual Deceased Personnel Files (IDPF).
If you want to learn more about a soldier that was KIA or went MIA, you can request the IDPF. This is the Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF). The IDPF will almost always establish his unit and give information on his burial. In many cases, it will also give valuable information about where and when he died, possibly including reports of the action in which he died. For men whose remains were never recovered or identified, extremely valuable records of the testimonies of his buddies are usually included, giving extraordinary information about the action, what happened to him, and when they last saw him.
NOTE: You must send a letter before any information can be sent out to you. The letter should include your signed statement of willingness to pay the Freedom of Information Act fees for the work involved.
If you are requesting your relative's IDPF, they may not charge you. It is not possible to request the files by just writing an email; you have to write a letter first.
Department of the Army
U.S. Army Human Resources Command
1600 Spearhead Division Avenue, Dept. 107
Fort Knox, Kentucky 40122-5504
To request more information about a 9th Infantry Division soldier, please fill in the below contact form to send me a message. Thank you. Let's never forget what these men have done for our freedom.

Colours Furniture sex-pot shows us where it is
Oh mai vavo! Hoth would have wanted to stay out of this, but how can he when it's the talk of the Ancient City?
Oh yes, Yeukai, the red-Indian girl from this furniture shop in Masvingo showed us where it all is. Hoth thought it was for private parties only! Kkkkkk not anymore, in the kombis, bars, little kids, mai vavo they are all musing over it!
Yeu laid it all bare, the whole geography, weGona Chitova! Kubva kumusoro Kariba kusvika zasi Limpopo. Africa yese! Everything kkkkk including its red, red, red inside!
Asi chii nhai Yeu? Hoth knows you are a sexpot but why trust your most treasured asset with anyone? Kana mums vako chaivo! Ko kuzoti vana jangwaya vembanje avo kkkkkk!
Any doubt that this thing is being used for commerce! It is, otherwise why parade it to the extent of filming it nhai Yeu? Usadaro mhani iwe Yeu!
Oh yes there is this girl; ehezve Hoth is an African and for the sake of his short Memory he calls her Yeukai. She works for this Colourful furniture shop in the City where she sits at the front desk. You get into the shop looking to the South; ehezve apa pakona paright, aah sorry paleft we-e ndipo paanogara.
Hoth agrees that she is lookable and a number of men have traded blows over her and in particular the City's most famed dealers! Ehezve vakomana vanotengesa mbanje- mbanje; cocaine nezvimwe zvinodhaka!
Aika-ka pfuti dzakabudazve! Ehezve zvine Gomba mukati zvinhu izvi; zvine makomba; yes makuva; ko imi manga mafunga kuti kudii? Makuva! Foolish men have died over those things.
Ehe Hoth akanyatsotora kavideo kacho, akakaisa mudenga, akaisa pasi, akananganidza, akatsinzinyira ziso, akadongorera and he still wonders kuti vana Pfocho chavafira ipo paya chii Kkkkkk! What's there to die for? Zvokwadi ndopika naTaurai hapana chokufira paya!
So this girl, oops, sorry mother of two decides to shoot a 51 second video; a video where she is using her bare hands to excite her private. She gasps, screams, whimper as she pulls it like someone milking a dog kkkkkk. Kukama mbwa! Wegona Chitova!Munotambireiko matambiro iwayo nhaii?
The video was probably taken from a laptop as Yeu lies with her back on a bed with dozens of pillows under her. The video must have been sent somewhere to excite a client but alas technology haitambwi nayo chisikana. The video went viral on Friday and there is nothing private on you anymore!
Rutenga ZESA driver caught pants down with married woman
Gogoi PaRutenga pane tengeka nevanotenga tenga rudo nhaka isharaude.
The milkman does not deliver milk only, moyondizvo chakachaya paZesa apo.
When HOTH broke the news of Rutenga nurse who was caught pants down, some misguided elements behaving well, anonzi HOTH chitasamura mapenzi, but some have Zesa in their undergarments havanzvi bodo they are at it again. As usual it is HOTH's social responsibility to expose those with fire in between their legs.
There are some people believe after seeing like the biblical Thomas and in Rutenga there are many like that. Most are now eager to know who is this Rutenga Thomas kkkkkkk?
People think ZESA workers only power electricity to homes, no they even go a step further. There is this senior driver at Rutenga ZESA of the Mhukahuru or Zhou totem.
Nway let me address this driver as Mr Notification or Chiziviso because kana vakuenda kumadzimai evamwe he sends a notice that he is coming. Mr Notification was recently caught pants down with a married woman, while his wife is busy studying at a certain teachers college in Masvingo province.
The woman in the centre of all this is called Madiro, gore rino vanoita madiro ageorgina chaiwo Mr Notification.
Now Mr Notification and Madiro stay side by side, vakatarirana kudai in Rutenga nhaka.
When Madiro's husband got wind of the two's evil acts he put a tracker on wife's phone without her knowledge.Ukatasvaka makudo mugomo unomawana peya, hawo.
Barely two weeks after the tracker was mounted in the phone, the husband went back to Beitbdridge where he works, Mhukahuru akati ndiripanio.
After a week, hubby returns and checks his wife's call log in the recorder and that's where all hell broke loose.
Mai angu gorogodo iweeeee. He was greeted by those sweetie voice recording from his wife complimenting Mr Notification for being a tiger in bed. "Mhukahuru ndimi mega munobata basa pasi pano. Kana murume abuda kudzokera Bridge will call you mouya mozondishandira henyu" pwaaaati kuti kwakumasowe here, baba vangu Moyo iweeeee.
One day Madiro's hubby returned unannounced and after performing his fatherly duties he left around 7pm and immediately the two love birds coded each other, kohandi vanogara vakatarirana and Mr Noty quickly raids the house. Sepamba pake he starts by drinking the wise waters, kukoka simba.
After v30mins hubby budges in and the two were in their birthday suits, baba angu chasura iwee, even that song by the late wordsmith Marko Sibanda does not fit here because there were no towels.What happened after that is everyone's guess.

A highly cost effective way to add a gloss raised finish to all or part of printed products.
Fully compatible with laser printers.
Ideal for Invitations, business cards, letter headings and compliment slips.
We can print to bespoke order on any thickness of material.
Ideal for use in conjunction with foiling, embossing and lithography.
Technical data
Thermography is a process that applies powder to ink while the ink is wet and is heated and cured to give a high gloss raised image.
Printed sheets are passed though a powder hopper on a conveyer belt allowing the powder to stick to the wet ink. Excess thermo powder is then vacuumed off and the sheet continues along the belt into an oven there the thermo powder becomes molten.
Whilst in it molten state the thermographed sheet is exposed to ultra violate where it is cured and is instantly dry to the touch ensuring that the finished stationery can be used through a laser print.
Applications for Thermography
Viprint have taken Thermography to new levels offering double sided and multicolour Thermography to bespoke order on any thickness of material.
One off Corporate invitations and business cards to complete corporate image re launches are common place at Viprint.
Large city banks are benefiting from our next day service.
With a firm commitment to developing Thermography to its full potential, Viprint have increased the applications for Thermography vastly.
We firmly believe that we are now world leaders in art of Thermography.
Standard Thermography
When used for letterheads it should be noted that although perfectly suitable for use with ink jet printers or other processes not involving heat, the image will melt if fed through a laser printer or photo-copier.
- Thermography printing is perfect for Letterheads, Business cards, Compliment slip, Invitations and Covers, etc.
- The Matt finish can be used as a cheaper alternative to Die-Stamping.
Standard thermography up to SRA3 depending upon design.
Laserproof thermography up to A4 only

Today, we're going to hear from Lalaine Mackey about an amazing European adventure she and her husband, Russ, had last year.
If you'd like to share your story with the 10xTravel readers, drop us an email and share how you did it! (bryce [at] 10xTravel [dot] com)
A September to Remember
It all started when we got a bill from the IRS – we needed to pay more on our income tax in the prior year (UGH!). My husband said, "Wouldn't it be nice to get a free trip out of this payment?"
So, he decided to research everything he could find about travel with frequent flyer miles and found 10xTravel. Then he found the 10xTravel Facebook group. That's where the fun really began!
In October 2015, his initial goal was to earn enough points for a week in Hawaii! By January 2016, he had already earned enough for this trip! Take note insiders – this is how you convince your skeptical significant other to join in the fun!!!
He introduced me to the world of miles and points when he had enough points for a week stay in Hawaii for pennies on the dollar!
Who wouldn't want to be here?!
Let's Go To Europe!
I was convinced and raised the stakes for our next vacation – I asked about Europe! I jumped into miles and points by applying for the same cards as my husband. By March 2016, we had enough points and miles to get round-trip tickets to Europe and some hotel stays on points. By June, we had enough for business class!
We booked round-trip business class tickets with American Airlines miles we earned through the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select card plus a Citi checking account bonus. Two round-trip tickets cost us 215,000 American miles.
We booked one-way tickets from San Francisco to London (connecting in New York City) prior to AA devaluation (March 2016) and used 100,000 AA miles for two tickets. We used our Barclay Arrival+ cards to pay the taxes/fees and then redeemed our points to erase all $800 of those taxes/fees.
One of the perks of flying business class was access to the British Airways lounge during our layover at JFK (New York City). We used the shower after walking around Central Park the entire day. Access also comes with complimentary 15 minute massage!
We also used the arrivals lounge in London and had a sumptuous British breakfast before we headed for our hotel.
Returning from Europe
Our Rome to San Jose (connection in London) flights were booked after the American Airlines program was devalued. As a result, our return trip cost 115,000 AA miles.
This flight was on American's oneworld partner British Airways. Thanks to our business class tickets, we had access to the Fast Track security lines. Because of this, we moved quickly to the British Airways lounge.
How We Stayed in Europe
For our hotel stays, we started with London's DoubleTree at Westminster using 120,000 Hilton points for two nights. We have Hilton Gold status thanks to our American Express HiltonHonors card. Our status gave us access to free breakfast and a daily happy hour.
After our stay in London, we continued to Paris where we used four Hyatt free night certificates to stay at the famous Park Hyatt Vendome in Paris. This amazing five-star hotel is centrally located in the Fashion District and is located five minutes from the Tuileries Garden and the Louvre.
We walked everywhere and soaked up everything Paris had to offer! At the end of each day, it was refreshing to return to such an amazing room, complete with remote window shades!
To get some beach time – we started this trip with Hawaii in mind, after all – we decided to visit Saint-Tropez. We stayed in an out-of-the-way hotel, La Ferme d'Augustin St. Tropez, using about 50,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points.
This stay felt like a couples retreat. We loved it so much we didn't want to leave. This working farm and hotel had less than 50 rooms and service as if you are the owners' guest. Dinner was always caught in the morning and the vegetables were grown on the property.
The staff made it a point to remember everything which meant you only had to ask and you received. There was no pesky signing of receipts until the end of your stay.
We practically owned the pool while we were there!
On to Nice, France!
We loved the beach idea so we decided to stay in France longer. Our next stop was Nice. We stayed at the Hotel Suisse for three nights by using about 77,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points and a fourth night out of pocket.
The Journey Continues in Milan!
After a week-long beach day, we kept moving. Milan was the next stop. We combined our SPG points accrued through Amex Starwood Preferred Guest cards and used 56,250 points to stay at the Sheraton Diana Majestic for three nights. We went to see DaVinci's Last Supper and the Milan Cathedral.
Our Italian adventure then took us to Venice where we stayed at the J.W. Marriott with 120,000 Marriott points.
Our final stop was in Rome. We stayed at the Marriott Grand Hotel Flora for three nights using 110,669 Capital One points to cut the price in half.
Taking Stock of an Amazing Adventure
All in all, this trip could have cost us $50,000 but we did it for under $3k. It was a great introduction into award travel.
Thanks to Bryce Conway and the 10xTravel team! We could not have done it without you.
What an amazing story! Thanks for sharing how you put it together, Lalaine. If you would like to see how others are traveling like this, join us in the 10xTravel Facebook group to learn more!

I thought this story was a fun blend of humor and history, with a neat message about trusting God, even when He doesn't always make sense. There was also a powerful message of hope, in a world that seems to have gone crazy.

What Can An OFS Conservation Crew Do For You?
Consider the conservation or community development projects that you need done. Our Eligible Activities List should give you some good ideas, but in general, a good OFS project is one that:
- Provides long-term conservation benefits, provides or enhances highly desirable natural, recreational, historical, or endangered resources, and benefits a variety of user groups.
- Provides a diversity of meaningful, labor-intensive work activities, including quality inclement weather work, and does not involve routine, low productivity work.
- Provides a diversity of skills and training which, in combination with the work activities, have the potential to give corps members a feeling of pride and continuing accomplishment.
OFS Expands Into Year-Round Conservation and Community Development Work
For over 20 years, Operation Fresh Start's seasonal conservation crews have contributed to the restoration of valuable environmental lands and the stewardship of city and county conservation parks. Starting in September, 2010, OFS Pathways crews extended to include three year-round conservation crews. Crew members, working in teams of 6 to 8 under the direct, daily supervision of a trained OFS supervisor, complete meaningful, labor intensive conservation and community development work projects on public lands in South Central Wisconsin throughout the year.
The agencies and organizations which OFS serves are called "project sponsors." Almost all units of government and non-profit organizations are eligible, including school districts, lake associations, environmental groups, historical societies, civic organizations, divisions of local government, many sporting clubs, and more. While project sponsors provide materials and a funding match, OFS provides almost all labor, equipment, and transportation-related costs. Fresh Start's goal is to provide a topnotch community resource and youth development service to as many project sponsors and young adults as possible. It's a cost effective investment in your community's natural and human resources that yields many short- and long-term benefits. Operation Fresh Start has had a long-term relationship with the City of Madison Parks' Conservation Section as well as Dane County Parks. The goal of Madison's 14 conservation parks is to restore native plant and animal communities while providing education areas and opportunities for everyone. Projects accomplished in the last few years by OFS crews include:
- Cherokee Marsh, Dane Co.'s largest wetland – for the last ten years, OFS crews have been involved in an ongoing wetland restoration project. Crews have also built or repaired several boardwalks and bridges.
- Owen Conservation Park – planting of aquatic plants in, and native prairie plants, trees, and shrubs around, three newly created stormwater retention/wildlife ponds. Crews have also made significant improvements to many of the parks hiking trails.
- Kettle Pond, a small "kettle hole" left by the retreating glacier 10,000 years ago – removal of exotic trees and shrubs allowing for oak regeneration and wildflower growth, and planting of native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers.
- Riverland Conservancy's Merrimac Preserve
- Swamp Lover's Inc.
- Heartland Farm Sanctuary
- Silverwood Farm Park

A strong performance at the highways division helped May Gurney boost turnover and profits for the last financial year.
Total revenue for the year to March 31 2012 was up 22% to £695.3m while pre-tax profit rose 17% to £28.4m as margins held steady at 4.3%.
Highways was among the strongest divisions as May Gurney now runs maintenance services for 20 local authorities covering 35,000 kms of road.
The firm said: "As expected, the maintenance-focused activities provided by May Gurney have proved resilient in the face of a reduction in overall local authority highways spending, while capital projects – to which May Gurney is not exposed – have suffered a significant reduction in activity.
"Although we expect this trend to continue, the business is well positioned to react appropriately in the event of changes in our target markets.
"Highway Services has delivered a good performance during the year, underpinned by its essential maintenance-based income streams, primarily driven by an increase in highways maintenance on the back of extra Government funding, a higher than anticipated additional spend by local authority clients and our clients' need to maintain existing assets due to reduced availability of capital."

On August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the 50th and the most recent state to join the United States.
Like Vermont, Texas and California, it was an independent republic before becoming a state.
Hawaii was a Republic for four years, from 1894 to 1898, after American and European businessmen living there overthrew the king.
The United States annexed it as a territory in 1898.
It was a sovereign monarchy from 1810 to 1893.
It was probably populated by Polynesians from the Marquesas in 300 A.D. and possibly from Tahiti in 1000 A.D.
British Captain James Cook discovered the islands in 1778, but there may have been Spanish explorers there as much as 200 years before on their way to the Philippines.
The state flag of Hawaii, with its British Union Jack, reflects this early British influence.
Smallpox, measles and flu were new to the islands, and, along with famine and internecine warfare among the Hawaiian chiefs, they halved the population within a hundred years of explorers landing.
In 1810, the islands were united under a single chief, King Kamehameha, whose dynasty ruled until 1872.
Two kings in a row, one elected, had no heirs, leading to riots over succession and U.S. and British involvement.
By 1887, the remaining king was forced to cede his power, giving the vote to property owners, which were mostly not native Hawaiians.
In 1893, Queen Lili'uokalani was overthrown. In 1894, the Republic of Hawaii was established and white residents petitioned to be annexed by the U.S.
In 1898, the islands were annexed as a U.S. territory and in 1900 given the right of self-governance.
Though for 50 years plantation owners preferred territorial status, the tide changed with the right to vote of those children born in the U.S. to immigrant laborers, who wanted statehood.
In March, 1959, Congress passed the Hawaii Admission Act. Hawaiians supported it in a referendum 17 to 1.
Hawaii was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959.
In the 2010 census, Hawaii had a population of 1.36 million.

A Cognitive Test Battery Designed for High Impact Research
The Brief Assessment of Cognition is a 30-minute test battery developed to assess cognitive performance in schizophrenia (BACS), affective disorders (BAC-A), and a range of other clinical indications (BAC). The pen-and-paper version of the test has been used by academic investigators and pharmaceutical developers to study cognitive outcomes in dozens of clinical trials, including schizophrenia, substance use disorders, and bipolar disorder.
The BAC comprises seven core tests designed to provide a comprehensive view of cognitive function.
The BAC has demonstrated high reliability and sensitivity to cognitive impairment1, and has a strong history of prior use in scientific research (over 100 peer-reviewed publications in more than 40 languages). A large database of available normative data allows for the calculation of standard domain and overall composite scores with demographic correction for age and gender2. Alternate forms are available for repeated testing. For licensing and other inquiries, follow the link below.
The success of the pen-and-paper BAC led to the development and validation of a tablet-based version of the test. The BAC App has demonstrated strong psychometric correlations to its pen-and-paper counterpart, and has additional benefits as an electronic instrument.

As taxi drivers in the city go on strike , we look at some of the alternative ways to get home.
The strike, organised by the Hackney Driver Association, is due to take place on Friday and Saturday night between midnight and 2am.
The strike only applies to black cab-style services that can be hailed on the street.
Cardiff's taxi drivers are set to strike tonight – here's everything you need to know
Private hire firms
The drivers striking are members of the Hackney Driver Association and that means private hire taxi drivers are not on strike. So before you go out phone a firm like Dragon (029 2033 3333), Capital Cabs (029 2077 7777) or Premier Cars (029 2055 5555) and book a taxi to bring you home.
A spokeswoman for Dragon said: "Our advice would be to plan ahead and organise your taxi home beforehand."
Uber on its way: Uber recruitment drive begins in Cardiff as taxi firm gets set to launch
The last trains home are before the strike starts, but if you are worried about getting a taxi later you could catch one. The last one to Merthyr from Cardiff Central is at 10.26pm and the last one to Bargoed leaves at 10.35pm.
The last trains from Cardiff Central to areas including Merthyr Tydfil , Caerphilly , and Penarth leave as usual around 10pm to 11.30pm.
New Adventure Travel shuttle buses will be operating on an hourly basis from 10pm until 4am. Timetables will be available via www.natgroup.co.uk on Friday.
The free-of-charge night bus has been organised to cover the times of the planned strike.
Why are drivers striking? Cardiff's taxi drivers are set to strike tonight – here's everything you need to know
Kevyn Jones, NAT's managing director, said: "Because of the uncertainty of how many drivers are going to strike we are providing an hourly free-of-charge shuttle bus.
"There will be one towards Ely and Canton and one towards Pontprennau going through Llanedeyrn and Albany Road. They are both X1 services and will be running between 10pm and 4am. The exact timetable will be on the New Adventure Travel website on Friday morning.
"Nobody can really tell what the strike will be and our service is put in place to make sure people who are stranded can get home safely."
The company had initially considered offering a 24-hour service but the procedure required a 56-day notice and the strike was announced within that timeframe.

Social Security Reform
It is not difficult to understand why Social Security is our country's most popular government program. Prior to its inception in the 1930's, more than half the nation's elderly lived in poverty. The program was designed as a social (old-age) insurance plan which provides a guaranteed income to retired and disabled workers whose loss of wages promises an uncertain economic future. I emphasize the word guaranteed, as this is the issue in contention when considering reform propositions.
Social Security, as we know it, ensures an acceptable standard of living for all citizens, and provides a safety net for those who, due to age or disability, are no longer able to support themselves by labor. It's benefits are, as stated by author Joseph White, "guaranteed, adjusted annually to account for inflation, paid for as long as the recipient lives, and based on collectively set standards of need and contribution, as opposed to returns and investments in markets" (White 43). The entire concept of privatization distracts us from the reason behind Social Security that ALL Americans would have the means to live in dignity. As such, to perform its proper role in the protection of our citizens, social insurance should be "national, compulsory, and contributory, and provide benefits as a matter of right" (Brown 10).
Politicians argue that there is an emergency need for drastic reform, as the current system is facing collapse, but this is not necessarily the case. It is important that we, as taxpayers, are able to wade through the often party-prejudiced political jargon and arrive at an informed opinion. This essay is an attempt to dispel some of the myths surrounding the controversy, and offer an argument against the private market's ability to adequately protect individuals (and hence society) against risk and uncertainty.
Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system, meaning that current payroll taxes are used to pay benefits to current retirees. In 1983, Congress introduced an element of pre-funding by adopting an increase in payroll taxes that allowed the program to take in more tax revenue than it paid out, with the surplus dedicated to supplementing tax revenue when the baby boomers began to retire (Hill). Today, that excess revenue is spent on government programs and reduction of federal debt, and the trust fund is credited with bonds equal to those expenditures. By reducing the debt, the government saves BIG money on interest payments and enhances its ability to borrow in the future. Any diversion in contributions would reduce the surplus, and have a negative impact on the programs supported therewith. While political groups have charged each other with squandering/draining the surplus for their own party-affiliated ends, this is actually impossible, as the Social Security trust fund is separate from the federal budget. "By running a deficit or spending a surplus," Dean Baker tells us, "the government can no more drain Social Security than they can drain the bonds under [his] bed" (Baker). Reformation advocates favor allowing workers to create private retirement accounts funded by the aforementioned 2 percent diversion of our Social Security taxes. They suggest that the emergency need for reform arises from the estimated population expansion and the increasing number of retirement-aged workers, and warn us that "inflation will push the current 12 percent contribution as high as 23 percent within the next 50 years" (Feldstein). Both sides agree there is a projected shortfall as the ratio of retirees to workers rise, however, these figures are as aggressive as the trustee's projected rate of productivity growth are conservative. The numbers show that "if we don't do anything, the system would pay all benefits to retirees right through the year 2038" (Baker). That is to say that if the government makes no changes whatsoever during the next 35 years, it...

August is Wellness Month, and more specifically, Wednesday, August 15th is National Relaxation Day! And yes, in the perfect world there should be some relaxation built into every day, but too many of us let self-care take a back seat in our busy lives. If you already practice wellness, then maybe you don't need a reminder. I try really hard to remember to incorporate wellness into each and every day- but my feeling is that there's always something new to learn and discover. Just recently, I attended two fabulous media events in New York City where I got an opportunity to see { Read More }
Tattoo Regret
I don't have a tattoo, but I admire them on others, done right. I imagine that if I were younger or bolder (or both), I might even get one. But recently I've begun to notice an interesting (and disturbing) phenomenon when it comes to body art. It's a sad fact of life: as we age, our skin sags (due to things like weight fluctuation, collagen loss and sun damage), and sometimes takes down the tattoo with it, stretching it out to resemble a flower wilting on the vine, or the famous Salvator Dali's painting of the melting clock. So, if you're contemplating a tattoo and want to preserve it as you { Read More }
How to Get Full(er) Lips
Quick: If you had limited time to put on makeup in the morning, what one thing would you reach for? Did you say mascara? Or was it lipstick? For me, it's all about the lips (although I must admit that eyelashes are a close second). Sure, eyelashes may thin as we age, but lips...well, they take thinning to the extreme. Blame the loss of collagen - that protein that helps support your body's soft tissue. You know, the stuff that makes your lips full and plump. Or, ahem, formerly full and plump. Add in some ultraviolet rays from the sun and there's more than just age causing that { Read More }
I Tried It: SculpSure
Being thin and fit doesn't make you immune to having fat gather around certain areas of your body; most commonly around the buttocks and thighs (for women) and around the abdomen (for men). But that's hardly a steadfast rule - women can certainly gather belly fat (most notably, during menopause. Chances are you're familiar with that?) And there are plenty of men out there sporting big bums and thighs, too. You can exercise. You can diet. But there's little to no guarantee the fat will come off from the specific body part that bugs you the most. Just because you don't want it hanging around doesn't { Read More }
A New Way to Get Rid of Unwanted Fat
We all have our share of them – those spots on our bodies where fat loves to hang out. For some, it might be areas in the lower body with lovely nicknames like "bubble butt," "thunder thighs", "cankles;" "saddlebags," "love handles" or "FUPA" (you'll have to look that last one up). Then there's that fat which accumulates in areas above the belly known affectionately as "bat wings," or "turkey neck." Not. Funny. And despite eating proportionally fewer calories than our male counterparts, it's a fact that women store fat more efficiently than do men. It's quite the paradox: Despite burning off more { Read More }
Quick and Dirty Winter Beauty Tips
Even though it's not officially winter yet, my hands tell me that it is. Meaning what? There you go, it's dry skin. Uncomfortably dry. Chapped. Flaking, cracking and generally...tight. Even though I wear rubber gloves when I wash dishes, and I wear gloves outside when the mercury dips low enough, and I apply hand lotion frequently... there you go. The hands have stopped cooperating. And the lips, feet, heels, arms, legs...too many to count. But hands aren't the only things that suffer in the winter...so it goes for other areas of our bodies. Sure, your cheeks might be rosy, but your { Read More }
How To Keep Your Summer Look Going All Year Long
The end of summer is approaching (contrary to popular notions it does not end Labor Day but instead, on September 22). Wah. Summer's end means many things to me. No, my kids won't be returning to school – those days are long past. As such, I won't be navigating my way through the aisles with them to pick out new school supplies, either. Big sigh of relief. I may be putting those days behind me, and along with those, I'll be packing away half of my closet, including my sandals, tank tops, shorts and bathing suits. Sob. But there are surely some safe and sane ways to keep summer alive. How? With { Read More }
Beauty Q: Help for Dry Skin?
I got a short email today from one of my readers: "My skin used to be so oily, I was always complaining about the shine. And now that I'm going through menopause, things have changed. It's so dry that it feels like my face will crack! I'd like to get some oil back. Any ideas?" I can relate. My own skin used to be so oily and greasy that I'd never go anywhere without those anti-shine wipes. I swear, I kept that company in business. Of course, it was so long ago that I can't remember the exact name of the company, but wipes like that are still around, like these. And yes, I should have listened to my { Read More }
Beauty Q: Help for Brown Spots
I recently received an email from a reader, bemoaning the brown spots on her face, asking my advice on ways to treat them. "Aside from wrinkles and dry skin, I'm now finding these brown spots popping up on my cheeks and forehead. It seems that every time I look in the mirror, there's a new one. Any advice is welcome!" Aside from doing a lot of health-related research, I do my fair share of beauty research, both online and on myself.

How do interest groups and elected officials affect how government regulators enforce the law? This book reconciles the apparent contradiction between political understandings of bureaucracy, in which interest groups and elected officials shape how the law is enforced, with accounts in public administration and elsewhere about the neutral and consistent implementation of the law. It shows that bureaucracies can pursue a strategy of 'strategic neutrality' to build political support, therefore demonstrating that neutrality can persist in the face of external pressures and has political origins.Read more
- Combination of methodological approaches, historical analysis, quantitative/statistical analysis, interviews with government bureaucrats
- Interdisciplinary crossover between political science, public administration, and public policy
- Focuses on occupational safety/OSHA/OSH Act
Reviews & endorsements
"Strategic Neutrality is a must-read for students of American political institutions, public administration, and public policy. Professor Huber's book has a new take on a set of ageless questions: to what extent will politics influence bureaucratic decisions, and will politics encourage officials to ignore their policy expertise? Huber argues and convincingly shows that it can be politically optimal for an agency to adopt a norm of professionalism or "neutrality."
Brandice Canes-Wrone, Princeton UniversitySee more reviews
"Greg Huber's incisive study of the strategic value of neutral competence is one of the most important studies of public bureaucracies to appear in the last twenty years. Like the Roman god Janus, Huber's strategic neutrality has two faces. One looks down, offering a tool for managers to control their subordinates; the other looks out, as managers seek to improve the autonomy of their agencies. Huber backs up his insight with a full analysis of the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, showing how agency bureaucrats without a strong political hand have nevertheless been able to administer the law consistently even in the face of sometimes fierce local political demands. This is political analysis as it ought to be done."
Bryan D. Jones, University of Washington
"An impressive addition to the literature on public bureaucracies. On the theoretical level, it is provocative. As a study of the behavior of a regulatory agency, it is insightful. And as a mode of research, it is thorough and sophisticated. All in all, an illuminating contribution to the field."
Herbert Kaufman, Yale University
"Huber has written an innovative and important book about American politics and public policy making. It uses a compelling blend of methods to show how bureaucratic actors make strategic choices to balance external political pressure and internal management imperatives. Theoretically and empirically rich, it shows how these choices have concrete influence on the way agencies make and implement public policy. Huber shows how bureaucratic officials behave in a strategically neutral fashion to blunt political opposition while securing internal agency compliance and a significant record of regulatory enforcement. Fundamentally, Huber helps us think about bureaucratic actors and American politics and policy in a new way."
Dave Lewis, Princeton University
"In The Craft of Bureaucratic Neutrality, Greg Huber provides a model of how thoughtful and well-informed data analysis can illuminate important issues in regulatory policy and politics. In his examination of the relation between political science and public administration, he challenges a number of accepted findings about regulatory enforcement."
John Mendeloff, University of Pittsburgh
"Why are government bureaucrats sometimes susceptible to political pressures, while other times they act independently? The answer lies in the concept of strategic neutrality, which explains how bureaucrats shape, as well as respond to, their political environment. Huber's analysis is insightful, careful, and convincing."
Charles Shipan, University of Michigan
"This is a sensible and compelling insight, theoretically well supported...and one that scholars should incorporate in future bureaucratic studies"
Dawn M. Chutkow, Law and Politics Book Review
"Huber mines a mountain of data...The quality of his empirical analysis of OSHA's implementation strategies is truly impressive." Graham K. Wilson, Boston University: American Politics Book Reviews

April 1, 2009 --The high-fat, low-carb Atkins diet is tougher on the heart than other diets once the dieter has lost the initial weight. A study funded by the U.S. Institute of Health looked at cholesterol levels and other cardiac risk factors for dieters who had remained on the diet after reaching their goal weight.
Atkins dieters tended to consume more saturated fats than people on the South Beach and Ornish diets,and as a result showed decreased blood vessel dilation -- which stresses blood flow from the heart.

Nice apartment with a great view from the lounge/sitting area. The bedroom overlooks a railroad though, so there's a lot of noise at all times of the day.Jennifer evaluado Dwntwn With Spectacular View,CN Tow en Harbourfront
Fantastic location in terms of being close to all public transport & walking a few blocks gets you into the heart of downtown. Just a few things I think need improvement - there are no blinds or curtains over any of the windows. So there's zero privacy, & in Summer you have no choice but to go to sleep when the sun goes down (around 9:30), & to get up when the sun rises (very very early). There's also a lot of noise from the street. The bed was really uncomfortable - it sags in the middle so your back feels awful in the morning. The pillows also need replacing - there's no support because they're too soft.

To hear Craig Brown tell it, midsize law firms are midsize for a reason. Their clients are local and regional. Their billing rates are lower. And truth be told, an attorney count around 100 feels just right to most of them.
So when it comes to expanding, these firms are extremely cautious. Brown, who gives presentations to gatherings of about 80 managing partners for the New York State Bar Association every quarter, says certain circumstances have to exist for midsize firms to branch out beyond their regional footprint.
"The primary reason is for their clients," says Brown, managing principal and CEO of Bridgeline Solutions. "As clients are moving beyond local and regional, law firms are following."
Brown says there are rare exceptions in which law firms open out-of-town offices in the absence of client demand. He cites the example of Michelman & Robinson, which has New York City offices but started in Los Angeles. The firm opened a Chicago office because it was a growing market with exceptional attorneys willing to sign on. But there weren't clients who were clamoring for it.
The 145-attorney firm also has offices in San Francisco and Orange County but the impetus for the California expansion was for the traditional reason of better serving clients, Brown said.
Meeting client needs was also what motivated Long Island firm Cullen and Dykman to more than double its attorney head count from 81 to 168 by merging with or acquiring eight firms since 2000.
"We don't go blindly into new markets unless we have a well-defined target market, typically with established loyal clients of our own," explains managing partner Christopher Palmer.
Cullen and Dykman, which launched its practice in Brooklyn 168 years ago, opened a Garden City office in 1966 as businesses migrated to the burbs, expanded to Washington, D.C., 12 years later as clients needed help navigating regulatory matters and merged with banking and real estate firm Bleakley Platt Remsen Millham & Curran in 2003 to open a Wall Street office.
When Dewey & LeBoeuf collapsed in 2012, Cullen and Dykman hired some of its energy and utility attorneys and took over its office space in Albany. The firm eventually expanded the Albany office to include a banking and litigation practice to meet the demand for legal services in the capital and upstate.
"Many of our clients are state-specific and regional clients. They've kind of asked us to grow with them and we'll always say yes to that," Palmer says.
Cullen and Dykman asks itself two simple questions when it considers a merger or acquisition. Will the whole be greater than the sum of the parts? Will it be a win-win for both parties? The answer to both questions must be an unequivocal yes for the firm to grow, Palmer says.
Jon Lindsey, managing partner for global recruiting firm Major, Lindsey & Africa, also suggests that midsize firms look within before expanding.
"For midsize firms, the question is do you need to be bigger," he says. "If so, do you need to be swallowed up by one of the whales, do you need to link hands with a firm roughly the same size or can you wait long enough to do it organically?"
But he cautions: "If you have 50 lawyers spread over a dozen practice areas, it's hard to persuade clients you have the bench strength to become a powerhouse."
Eric Seeger, a principal at Altman Weil, thinks most midsize firms are reluctant to expand.
"Midsize firms are being very careful about expansion because they have been burned so many times on lateral hires and because they are under intense pressure to meet annual profitability goals," he says.
Murphy & McGonigle name attorney Thomas McGonigle says geographic expansion doesn't make sense unless a firm knows that opening offices will dramatically increase its client base.
The firm has offices in New York and Washington, D.C., which are necessary because its work involves the SEC. Perhaps, McGonigle says, it makes sense to open an office in Chicago because of its large financial exchanges.
But he seems to talk himself out of the idea almost as soon as he mentions it. The partners would have to be willing to put up their own money to finance expansion because the firm has decided not to take on debt. Another impediment is that it takes 120 days after hiring attorneys to bring in revenue. But perhaps more important, the partners, who have practiced together since the 1980s, like the 52-lawyer firm just the way it is.
"I can see us getting to 75 at some point," McGonigle says. "I don't think we'll ever get to 76. We like the feel of a small place where we all know each other and can all fit in the same space."
The same sentiment was echoed by other firms.
"What we have found is that our clients have the confidence to know that we can get the deal closed or win the case anywhere in the country," says Richard Haddad, chair of the litigation practice at Otterbourg. "What we have found is that we don't need additional real estate. Our assets are people."
Ronald Shechtman, managing partner at Pryor Cashman, agrees.
"Geographic expansion I think is a great challenge for midsize firms," Shechtman says. "In the legal profession, it seems that the law of economy of scale are turned upside down. The bigger you get and the more offices you have the more expensive your operations become and the less economical they will be."

Why Service Virtualization is needed in the Internet of Things Era
As the dawn of the Internet Of Things Era begins testers and developers need a better way to test the functionality of their growing API, cloud based software applications. One of the new tools/techniques developed for this purpose is the concept of Service Virtualization.
Find out why Service Virtualization is so important and why you need it to have confidence that your modern application will work as expected in the wild.

Quotes & Insights from this Test Talk
- Service Virtualization is essentially an approached emulating behaviors or components in a larger system.
- You use a virtual API, stand that up, and then basically mock out a little bit of the data behind it so that the responses coming back are valid enough for your front-end so you can start testing it.
- API testing itself is really just a subset of quality, but increasingly critical!
- Service Virtualization simplifies the technology constraints.
- Data is still King
- With virtual API, you can either change the behavior, make it slower, maybe cause it to produce bad data, or even just simply turn it off and see what it's like for a front-end app to live without its precious API.
- Typically, around the performance track, they want to see what it's like to deal without one of those calls. They call them black holes
- A virtual API is only as good as you make it
- Much, much more!
