A long weekend is ahead, and if there's nothing else to do, a short weekend trip to a fun destination can be a good option; and what better way to make it even more enjoyable than take a road trip. There's no way a road trip can go wrong. In fact there are cases when the destination may be a wee-bit disappointing, but the road trip makes up for it. The foremost thing about such road trips is that you should be ready to be a bit adventurous and try new things; and at the same time, a certain amount of caution is needed. It is important to pack the right things for a road trip and a little planning will go a long way in the making of a memorable getaway.
Things to bring:
1. In today's time and age, all you need for a trouble –free navigation is a good smart phone with battery backup, access to maps and GPS system. And once you have decided the destination, it is always helpful to do a bit of research to know about places to visit in the area, special attractions, places with good food, comfortable night stay etc. The backup plan would be to carry a travel book and physical map. Technology is always not so dependable.
2. Spare tire, jumper cables and jack, basically the tool kit has to be checked to see if everything is there before stowing it into the boot of the car, spare set of keys that you must always carry on you, batteries, charger, power bank, a torch, a physical phone book with emergency numbers, and numbers of family and friends like in the old times, first aid box etc., are a must.
3. Ensure you carry all the requisite papers on you – the license, registration papers, insurance papers etc.
4. Carry sunglasses, sunblock, basic OTC medicines like ibuprofen, paracetamol, antacids, bandages, antispectic cream and such paraphernalia for the first aid box, hand sanitizer, soap, shampoo (these days you get these small containers to which you can transfer your moisturizer and shampoo etc so that you don't have to carry large bottles of your favourite toiletries). Also make sure to carry small detergent soap, just in case. In addition do not forget to carry bug repellents and Toilet paper.
5. Check on the regular medication that you take.
6. Take disposable glasses and plates, but also have a set of regular plate and glass handy. Have more than enough napkins and paper towels
7. Avoid road-side junk food. You never know if it is safe enough. Carry fruits, biscuits, granola bars, crackers etc. You can also carry a portable cooler to keep water bottles. You can carry snacks that can be preserved over a couple of days and sandwiches for immediate consumption. Carry a clip to re-seal the snack covers.
8. Do not forget to take your entertainment sources – pendrive full of your favourite songs, IPod, books if you are a book lover, and if you have kids travelling with you then carry things like Frisbee, badminton gear, board games, colouring books etc.
9. What's travel without a camera? Check if the entire camera set is in the bag. Try carrying an extra memory card and battery. Do re-check to see if charger is in place. Lap top, if you are carrying one needs to be checked to ensure there's the charger wire etc all in.
10. Ensure that in addition to washed, and pressed change of clothes that are enough to last the short trip, you also pack a pair of night wear, blanket etc in case of emergency. Comfort is the key in choosing your clothes. Carry an umbrella. The list may look long, but all it comprises of are the basic essentials that will make your trip comfortable and keep you ready to face any emergency.

Clients usually experience a progressive decline in mood, which can impact their emotions, the quality of their sleep, relationships (they may even begin to withdraw from others), and have persistent negative thoughts. Many clients prefer to explore viable holistic and integrative strategies before trying medication. In our collaboration, we will design a plan to explore possible options, strategies to strengthen effective coping mechanisms, and identify a plan to enhance the opportunity for recovery.

Sandra Santana, Psy.D.

Clinical depression is not something that someone "gets over" or can manage on their own. It is real, painful and harmful. I will provide you the tools to help you overcome this debilitating condition. We work on stopping and changing those negative thoughts that can spin out of control, and also how to change some behaviors, such as being more active and social. It's difficult but we can do it together.

Lee Langley, M.S., LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Many clients who come to therapy are suffering from depression at some level. Often, "talk therapy" is sufficient to help them overcome negative thinking and get back on track. Sometimes, the feelings of sadness or hopelessness are the result of a recent (or distant) life event. Other clients report having always experienced life in this way. Depending on the circumstances and the severity of the symptoms, a referral to a physician for a consultation about medication is necessary. Even in those cases, having a trusted, experienced counselor to talk to on a regular basis (in conjunction with the use of medications), can be invaluable.

Suffering from depression can be one of the most challenging experiences that one can face. Every day takes an enormous amount of effort and can feel like walking through molasses.

The good news is that there are treatment approaches that can be very helpful in healing depression to bring the joy and vitality back into one's life. These treatments can enable the client to reingage in life, connect with loved ones, and experience greater happiness and fullfillment.

I believe that there is a purpose to the symptoms that you are suffering. I work from a psychodynamic perspective and what that means is that I will make a space for you to explore all of your feelings and help you become aware of unconscious thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and patterns that may be causing your depression. I also help patients become more aware of inner strengths and resources that they may be equally unconscious of. Discovering these strengths gives one the ability to confront unresolved issues that have caused suffering. The increase in awareness leads to a decrease in depression---resulting ultimately in an increase in life-satisfaction.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at email@example.com.

My approach to working with depression utilizes a combination of depth psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and existential therapy. Depression is the soul speaking of its pain and isolation through the body. My clients benefit immensely from learning to listen to the unconscious through dream analysis and the use of active imagination. CBT provides a tool for clients to identify negative thoughts and replace them with life affirming thoughts. Through existential work my clients learn to take responsibility for and take charge of their depression. For those clients who are taking anti-depressant medication I work closely with their psychiatrists to maximize outcomes.

READ IT WATCH IT WRITE IT ! Joan, Year 8, Bede Polding College South Windsor NSW Belmont Hill: Showdown Remy Lacroix This book is the first in this series. It's about two teenage girls whose parents have just got married and have to adjust to their new lives. Piper Houston has everything she could possibly want. She is spoilt, rude, and selfish and likes getting her own way and most certainly doesn't like the fact that her father just got married to Monica Carter who has a daughter Alex who is the same age as Piper herself. Alex on the other hand is the total opposite of Piper. She is a kind, caring and outgoing person who doesn't really care what others think, especially Piper. Alex and her mum move into the Houston mansion where Piper makes life as difficult as possible. Alex's one escape is her music and her band. When both girls are involved in the same project the scene is set for a big showdown. I feel the storyline was a bit predictable and the book in general is a little over the top with the constant name brands and language used. I think the author has set up the scene well for the sequel, Scandal. I feel that this book is just the beginning and hopefully there will be more twists and turns making it not so predictable. I would recommend this book for girls 13+. Rating: Decent Mikayla, Year 7, Avondale School, Cooranbong NSW Writing Clementine Kate Gordon Clementine Darcy is a passionate poet whose life at school and home has started to crack. Her best friends have changed, her brother won't leave his room, and her practically perfect sister might not be as perfect as she thought. As her world starts to crumble, a mysterious boy in peculiar clothes appears and he starts to help her piece her life back together. Firstly, I found myself relating to Clementine much more than I expected. I have been in similar situations as Clementine had to face. She was different and I think that a character's differences can bring a story together. I also loved Fred Paul's character. He was charming and quirky and I loved watching him and Clementine fall in love. Fred Paul and the steampunkers made me look further into Steampunk itself and I have started reading some. All in all, I found this story fantastic and relatable. I would definitely recommend you to read Writing Clementine. Rating: Epic (Good for book clubs!)

All her life her dead brother Bird is all that is important, but now Jewel just wants to discover who she is and how to fix the wounds in her family. Bird is very well written and I love how the author weaves in nature with descriptions of emotions and events. My main criticism is that it is too 'slice-of-life' because the novel only semi-ends. The issues are not really solved, but I love how it ends on a note of hope and joy for the future. I would recommend reading Bird if you are OK with sniffling a bit. Rating: Decent

Lagos cancels monthly sanitation for UTME
The Lagos State Government has lifted the restriction order on human and vehicular movement during the February monthly environmental sanitation exercise in order to allow students, invigilators and other stakeholders participate effectively in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, organized by Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) expected to begin tomorrow.
Commissioner for the Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare who announced this in Alausa, Lagos, however, added that the usual sanitation exercise would still be observed by residents in their homes.
The Commissioner said that it became imperative for the state government to waive the restriction order not to jeopardize the future of the candidates whose counterparts in other parts of the federation will write the same examination.
"As a responsible and responsive government, we value the education of our children very dearly and therefore resolved to relax the order in the interest of the future leaders of tomorrow," Adejare added.
While still urging Lagosians to actively participate in this month's sanitation exercise, the Commissioner advised that "we should concentrate on the cleaning of drains in our frontages as we are gradually approaching the rainy season.'
He said that the issue of sanitation has become very critical, especially with the geometrically rising population of the state, thus making the regular clean-up necessary for a healthier, cleaner and Sustainable Environment.
"As we gradually approach the rainy season, the Commissioner enjoined Lagosians to shun acts that could contribute to flooding, noting that "people should not dump waste in unauthorized places like canals and drainage channels.
"Lagosians should not patronize cart pushers who end up dumping the wastes into canals and Lagoons. This is how we can all assist to make the state deflooding programme a success."
He urged all Lagosians to rise up and take sanitation of their environment as very important adding that " this is one of the practical measures that can guarantee a flood-free Lagos."
Adejare disclosed that the state government had embarked on continuous clearing, maintenance and dredging of canals across the state to preempt the incidences of flooding.
He admonished Lagosians to bag their refuse properly to allow for easy collection and disposal to designated landfill sites by the Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA and Pivate Sector Participation, PSP operators.
The commissioner also assured that LAWMA would deploy men and equipment to ensure quick evacuation of waste generated during the sanitation exercise.

Tisha B'Av was this past Tuesday night and Wednesday. It is a day when we fast from sunset to sunset, much like Yom Kippur. Tisha B'Av is a day of mourning.
In the Jewish calendar, this was the date both that both the First and Second Temples were destroyed, which resulted in the exile of the Jewish people. In 135 CE on this day, Bar Kochba's fortress Betar was defeated by the Romans, and 100,000 Jews were slaughtered. This was also the date of the first Crusade which began in 1096 and eventually resulted in the death of 1.2 million European Jews.
On this very day in 1290, Jews were expelled from England; and on this day in 1306, Jews were expelled from France; and on this day in 1492, Jews were expelled from Spain.
In our century, this date in the Hebrew calendar marks the start of the First World War, which was August 1and 2 in 1914. Himmler received a go ahead from the Nazi Party for the Final Solution on this day and this was also the date for the final deportation of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto.
This calamitous date also represents tragedy for Jews in recent history. This was the day the Jewish community center was bombed in Buenos Aires, killing 85 people and injuring 300 others; and this was the very day of Hitnatkut, when the Israelis disengaged from Gush Katif, forcibly removing Jews from their homes and communities.
Yes, this is the saddest day of the Jewish calendar. Yet when one walks through the streets of Jerusalem, or sits at the Kotel on the eve of Tisha B'Av, there is a sense of euphoria and renewal. Yes, the Jewish people are a strong, growing nation and have gathered together from all corners of the world. There is prosperity and economic growth. We have an army to protect us and an independent Jewish state to govern us.
This year, I left the bustle of the Western Wall, leaving behind thousands deep in prayer, the chatting of teens and the swirling horas, and slipped down a rabbit hole into another world. Together with a small group of friends, including one who was armed with a hand gun, we entered the Arab Quarter. The sights, sounds and smells were shockingly different; the tension was palpable.
It was Ramadan and colorful lights twinkled from the archways above. Boys played soccer in the alleyways while men sat in silence puffing their houka pipes. Smells of hyssop, sweet licorice and cumin wafted from shops and shuttered windows. Women in long buttoned coats and silken scarves floated by.
I dared not stop for one second, fearful of losing our group which was carefully navigating the alleys in a large, compact huddle. Occasionally, we saw Hebrew writing on a wall or a sign and felt an irrational sense of relief. Suddenly, at the end of an alley was a small sign: "HaKotel HaKatan."
We entered a low archway into a courtyard and there it was; a small section of the Western Wall, isolated, quiet, modest. A few people were sitting there reading from the Book of Lamentations, others were praying.
Men and women sat together. Crumpled notes were jammed into crevices, countless supplications placed near the original Holy of Holies. Not far from here, some 2,000 years ago, sat the Aron Kodesh, where the high priest would connect directly with G-d. This small part of the wall, along with the tunnels below, are the closest Jews can get to the holiest place in the world.
Yet this very place is unknown, abandoned, and sits in a neighborhood that is dangerous for Jews to walk. It is controlled by the police and has been a place of contention with the Arabs. It smelled a bit like urine and I later read that this place was once used as a toilet. Black cats fought over garbage, fiercely seeming to stake more claim here than the praying Jews. The cats hissed and spat and rolled in a fight, sending a few young girls running. We sat briefly and said a few kinnos, poems that mark Jewish tragedies, then left.
As I walked away, I had a deep sense that we still have much to mourn over. We risk our lives to pray in this tiny place that has utmost significance to us. We are not free to wander through all the streets of Jerusalem and yes, just like Jews over the centuries, we must still live in fear. Suddenly Tisha B'Av became strangely significant and incredibly sad. We hurried through the Arab Quarter and into the abandoned and dark alleys of the Christian Quarter.
Finally, we exited through the New Gate, practically bumping into a group of police. I felt safe, but only for a second. Within minutes, a group of people marched by, waving Israeli flags and singing Am Israel Chai, the Jewish nation lives. They were walking around the Old City Walls, including the walls in East Jerusalem. Organized by Women in Green, this is the 19th year people participate in this walk. However, this was Ramadan and flying Star of Davids is akin to putting a red flag in front of an angry bull.
We joined the crowd and started to walk into East Jerusalem. It was lit like a Christmas tree, with lights strung across streets and homes. Pavilions set up on grassy areas were serving food. Muslim men, women and children were out and we created quite a scene.
The police were ready to quell a riot. In some places, there was a barricade between us and the Arabs. The Arabs stared at us, some filming the procession with their iphones. We stared back at them.
And then there was a ruckus. Immediately, I saw a group of police run chase after young teens. Then again. A skirmish on the left. Commotion on the right. We marched on.
We passed police men sitting high above on horseback. Even the horses were wearing protective gear. I shivered. The last time I felt this kind of tension, I found myself in a New Delhi market, with vendors madly shuttering down their shop doors, fleeing before an angry mob.
Yet the police presence stilled all potential violence and on we marched. Our group finally sat in the middle of the road and mourned the fact that Jews still cannot pray at Har HaBayit.
Tisha B'Av 5774 (2013). Some two thousand years after the destruction of the First Temple, , we have much to pray for. We all want the violence to end and we are still living amidst hate.
As a postscript: That very night around 9 p.m., outside the Damascus Gate, a Jewish man was stabbed multiple times by Arab youth. He was returning from his Tisha B'Av prayers at the Western Wall.

Journal from December 17th, 2012
Nate and Hannah came to visit this weekend. We pulled out lots of extra blankets and set up the futon so they could sleep in the yurt with us. Thankfully, they are both really laid back and didn't mind the lack of running water.
Nate has been entertaining us with Christmas songs on his fiddle, and they have both been helping with food, dishes, wood, and holding Alma. One couldn't ask for better guests.
I hope that they weren't awoken too many times last night by Alma's grunting and slurping. She was really hungry and kept making really loud noises.
It snowed yesterday and is still snowing now, so it is really beautiful outside. Maybe we will cut down our Christmas tree soon.
The yurt has been a really nice temperature since yesterday. I feel so much happier about life when I'm not cold.
I should probably go stoke the fire now.

How should you negotiate a traffic-light-controlled junction that has an advanced stop line for cyclists?
Some traffic-light-controlled junctions have advanced stop lines to allow cycles to be positioned ahead of other traffic.
Motorists, including motorcyclists, MUST stop at the first white line if the lights are amber or red and should avoid blocking the way or encroaching on the marked area.
If your vehicle has proceeded over the first white line at the time that the signal goes red, you MUST stop at the second white line, even if your vehicle is in the marked area. Allow cyclists time and space to move off when the green signal shows.
The legal alcohol limit for drivers is:
- 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, or
- 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, or
- 107 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of urine
Even small amounts of alcohol can affect your ability to drive.
If the police want to investigate whether you are over the drink driving limit, they will carry out a screening breath test at the roadside. If you fail this test, or if they have other grounds to believe that your driving was impaired through drink, you will be arrested and taken to a police station.
Anyone caught over the legal alcohol limit when driving will be banned from driving for at least 12 months, and fined up to £5,000. You can also be sent to prison for up to six months. Imprisonment, the period of disqualification and size of fine depend on the seriousness of the offence.
If you are caught drink driving second time in a 10 year period, you'll be banned for at least three years.
Is it the responsibility of the driver to make sure that adult passengers wear seatbelts?
Car drivers and front seat passengers must wear a seat belt, unless they have a medical exemption certificate.
Adults travelling in the rear of a car must also use seatbelts, if they're fitted. It's the responsibility of the adult passenger (not the driver) to make sure that they are using the seatbelt.
Children under the age of 14, travelling in the rear of a car that has appropriate restraints, must belt up. ' It is the responsibility of the driver to make sure children under 14 years of age are wearing their seatbelts...once 14 years old it is up to the passenger to take responsibility!
Exemptions are allowed for the holders of medical exemption certificates and those making deliveries or collections in goods vehicles when travelling less than 50 metres (approx 162 feet).
More information find here >>
Who can teach to drive?
Only ADIs and trainee licence-holders can teach to drive for payment. They must display a badge on the windscreen during lessons. An ADI displays a green badge on the windscreen, and a trainee driving instructor displays a pink badge.
You must have a provisional driving licence when you're learning to drive.
If you practise your driving with friends and relatives (without paying them) they must:
- be over 21
- have had their driving licence for 3 years
- be qualified to drive the type of vehicle you want to learn in
You can be fined up to £1,000 and get 3 to 6 penalty points on your provisional licence if you drive without the right supervision.
What is the eyesight test?
You have to take an eyesight test before you start practical test.
In good daylight you should be able to read a vehicle number plate with letters 79,4 mm (3,1 inches) high at a minimum distance of 20,5 meters (about 67 feet).
If you need glasses or contact lences to read the number plate, that's fine. You must wear them while driving.
What is the first thing you should do if you are involved in a road traffic incident?
If a traffic accident occurs and you are driving, then you need to assess the situation and see if any of the following situations apply:
- Is anyone injured?
- Has there been any damage caused to someone else's property, or another vehicle?
- Has an animal been killed or injured (an animal applies to a dog, pig, goat, sheep, ass, mule, horse or cattle).
If any of the above points do apply, you are required to stop at the scene and remain there for a reasonable period of time that will allow any other people involved directly or not in the accident to come to you and request your contact details.
If you are driving someone else's car, then you must supply the contact details of the registered owner too.
If you don't leave your details at the scene, then you must report the incident to a police officer as soon as is practically possible (within 24 hours). You can ring to advise the police station, but it is not acceptable to report the incident over the telephone – it must be done in person.
The supervising driver must:
- be at least 21 years old
- held a full driving licence for a minimum of 3 years
- meet the minimum eyesight standards
- ensure the car is in a safe and legal condition
- ensure the car displays red L Plates (or D Plates in Wales) if a learner is driving
- car insurance must cover a learner driver
The nearest you can park to a junction is 10 metres (or 32 feet).
This is to allow drivers emerging from, or turning into, the junction a clear view of the road they are joining. It also allows them to see hazards such as pedestrians or cyclists at the junction.
At an unmarked crossroads no one has priority. If there are no road signs or markings do not assume that you have priority. Remember that other drivers may assume they have the right to go. No type of vehicle has priority but it's courteous to give way to large vehicles. Also look out in particular for cyclists and motorcyclists.
You can stop in a yellow box junction if you want to turn right and are stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right.

Raising Children Contributes to 43% of American Poverty
Children are expensive—especially if you have a tight budget to begin with.
We know that children make up around 1/3rd of the officially impoverished people in the country. However, this figure necessarily understates the full effect of children on poverty because some adults find themselves in poverty solely because they are taking care of children. That is, if they did not have any children, their incomes would be enough to put themselves over the poverty line. I've been wanting to figure out for some time how many adults this applies to and so I did: 4.7 million.
To arrive at this figure, I went into the CPS ASEC for 2013. To hammer out certain conceptual and technical problems, I then dropped families that were headed by people aged 15-17. This is a small number of families and barely registers in the aggregate figures. With these families dropped, the number of people in poverty shows up like this:
- Adults in Poverty: 30.6 million.
- Children in Poverty: 14.4 million.
- Total: 45 million.
From there, I go through each family and see if their family income would be above the poverty line for a family that was just like theirs but without the children. For example, the income of a family of 2 adults and 2 children was compared against the poverty line for a family of 2 adults and 0 children. The result was this:
- Adults in Poverty: 25.9 million.
- Children in Poverty: 0.
- Total: 25.9 million.
Thus, in total, children account for 14.4 million impoverished people by themselves, but also for 4.7 million adults made impoverished by raising children. These 4.7 million adults constitute 15.4% of all adults in poverty. Together, these impoverished children and adults impoverished by children make up 43% of all poor people in the country.
This 43% figure likely understates the full effect of children on poverty. The calculation assumes families' incomes would be the same even if the families were childless. In reality, many families have lower incomes than they would without children because they have to work less in order to take care of their kids.
The large number of impoverished children and adults impoverished by children is, of course, entirely predictable. Adding children to a family increases the family's income needs, but does not increase its market income and even makes it somewhat harder to work.
Absent robust family welfare benefits, children are always going to create significant poverty risks.

I know that for the Achievement hunter this is a must play for the relaxing grind. This game does require some time to unlock all the achievements, but it isn't hard. True Achievements can give you guides to some of the more challenging but all in all there is one catch. Finding someone who is playing multiplayer. The multiplayer is dead, and I have never played it because no one is on. Very annoying by the way.
The game is based on it's long history. Starting back in 1972 and working it's way through 2010. It has a show for each year and a game for each year. It runs just like The Price is Right on TV so as long as you have watched the show it won't be a problem.
This is a renter not a buyer. Do not waste the money to buy. It is a short game and really has only so much replay value. Overall not a bad game for the kids and even for parties. It is Kinect compatible which is a plus.
Overall I would give this game a 6.5/10 (Based on the replay value and party capability mostly)

The exact quantum of the increase and its timing will be decided by the GST Council.
"An enabling ordinance to that effect has been recommended to the honourable president by the GST Council," finance minister Arun Jaitley told reporters after a meeting of the cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The move is aimed at eliminating an anomaly that led to prices of such vehicles dropping after the implementation of GST, while those of smaller autos didn't change, Jaitley said.
Automakers, having seen a sales bump owing to the drop in prices, appealed for a reprieve. "We earnestly hope that the government and the GST Council will give due consideration to this matter and desist from raising the cess and putting a dampener on the positive momentum in demand that the industry had started to witness since July 1," said Rohit Suri, president, Jaguar Land Rover India Ltd.
"It is an unfortunate decision... It will have a negative impact on sales," Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers said. It will even request the government and GST Council to reconsider the hike.
ET had reported on August 8 that the government was planning to seek a higher cess and said on August 9 that it would do so through an ordinance.
The ordinance will amend the GST (Compensation to States) Act, 2017, to allow for imposition of a higher cess, which will effectively restore the levies on these cars to preGST levels. "The GST Council, whenever, with regard to either of these two categories or both of these two categories is now entitled to take a decision, whether it wishes to increase the quantum of cess within that permissible cap," Jaitley said. "This is not across the board... There are 12 different categories of automobiles, of which two are im
pacted. Its impact will be on luxury vehicles whose prices had come down a bit. This gives a room to restore that a bit. Now how much is that will depend on the GST Council."
Revenue secretary Hasmukh Adhia underscored that point: "There is no intention of increasing the rate on any car other than those which were put in luxury category on which there was a very high excise duty as well as high VAT (value added tax)."
The matter is likely to be on the agenda of the GST Council's meeting on September 9 in Hyderabad. Jaitley declined to say whether the issue would be discussed there. "Whether it will on 9th or when it will happen, that the council will decide."
The GST Council, the apex decision-making body under the new tax system, had on August 5 approved a proposal to change GST Compensation Law to raise cap on the cess that can be levied on motor vehicles.
The current law provides for a maximum cess of 15%. Under GST, the maximum tax is 28%, taking total levies to 43%, lower than the more than 50% effective tax on these cars in the pre-GST regime.
The higher cess will apply to motor vehicles for transport of not more than 13 persons, including the driver.

Whether the jewelry is for you or someone else, jewelry is something many people enjoy. If you love your jewelry, research the proper techniques for keeping it clean and wearing it well. This article will help you to find those answers.
Get a polishing cloth for your jewelery. This easy technique can make your jewelry bright and shiny without the use of harsh solvents and chemicals. Just polish each piece with the special cloth in the same way you would polish a piece of glass. Use the side that is designated for polish, and the other to make it shine.
You should always store your jewelry very carefully. Keep pieces separately by using compartments, boxes, hooks and holders. Do not ever just throw them in a pile. Heavy pieces should not be placed in the same compartment with fragile pieces.
Precious Metals
Keep your jewelry stored somewhere that is free from humidity or air. Trying putting them in a box with a tight-fitting lid or a bag that has a drawstring closure. Continued exposure to humidity extremes or air causes metals typically used in jewelry to tarnish. It is possible to polish precious metals, but polishing non-precious metals will damage the coating, which makes the copper that metal was covering show.
When you're considering a diamond purchase, plan on shopping around and making comparisons. Look at the pieces up close before purchasing them, and be sure to compare them to others. Keep an eye out for deceptive tricks to cause you to think a diamond is better than it actually is.
If you wish to keep a piece of jewelry looking fantastic, preventing it from tarnishing is important. Do not wear jewelery around water. Some metals will tarnish, dull or rust when exposed to water or perspiration. To give jewelry an added layer of protection apply a thin layer of clear nail lacquer.
Men and women alike can get overwhelmed by jewelry at times, be it price, style, care or appropriate occasion. This article serves as a great guideline for jewelry selection, maintenance and ownership.

What happens when 2 girls tackle 2.5 thousand miles in 6 days?
You'll hear those engines revving thanks to the TOP SECRET 2015 Cannonball Run regardless of your location.
The all-female team #gogirl, Kaz Aston and Jasmine Palmer, have gotten the jump on their competitors thanks to the Huffington Post article published earlier this week, highlighting their efforts to raise money for multiple sclerosis (MS).
Children, the elderly… while most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40 years old, this condition affects all ages and both sexes. Aston has lived with MS for over two decades now and is thrilled to be assisting others with the condition thanks to the Cannonball Run.
As detailed exclusively in the Huffington Post by professional writer Sarah Cannata, Aston and Palmer will participate in the Cannonball Run Europe edition. Ever since its inception in 2002, the Cannonball Run has acted as a bucket list...

[ Jilin City, China: Floods Wash Explosive Chemicals into River ]
Northeast China's Yongji County was hit by a severe 12-hour rainstorm on the evening of July 27. The following morning it was reported that two chemical plant warehouses had collapsed causing 7,000 barrels of chemicals to be catapulted into the Songhua River (also known as Sungari River.) Flooding was reported to be at the highest levels of Wende River in the last century.
The two chemical plants affected were Jinlin Xinyaqiang Biochem Co. and Jilin Zhongxin Chemical Co. Wang Mingchen, deputy secretary of Jilin City government delayed the announcement till July 29, two days later. Among 3,000 barrels that retained chemicals, 2,500 of them contained the highly toxic chemical chlorotrimethylsilane-known to burn the skin and irritate the lungs.
According to China News, Jilin authorities have retrieved 1,500 barrels from the Songhua River.
The chemicals pose a threat to the 2.58 million population of the northeastern city of Jilin, where the Wende River and the Songhua River merge.
Eyewitnesses said, the chlorotrimethylsilane that leaked from the errant blue iron barrels reacted with the water from the Songhua River, generating heat and thick noxious smoke. The same eyewitnesses said people could smell the odor 100 meters away from the riverbank.
Bottled Water Frenzy
The Internet has carried reports of the incident since July 28, prompting residents in neighboring cities to storm supermarkets in Jilin for bottled water until the supply was exhausted. The water-shopping spree began on July 29 in Harbin, a major city downstream from the Songhua River.
South China Morning Post reported on July 30 that local taxi drivers in Jilin refused passengers, unless they were carrying drinking water and were willing to pay their fare in bottles of water.
A blogger who claimed to be living in Jilin disclosed that the Jilin Water Group Co. announced at 6:00 p.m. on July 27 that the water in the Songhua River was not polluted. However, as of 8:00 p.m. the same day, tap water had ceased to flow.
There was no running water in Jilin City on July 28. The Jilin Water Group announced that the reason for no water was due to "the power company doing maintenance work on its circuits" and that the situation "has nothing to do with the flood, and will not cause a problem with the water supply." The water company also claimed that they tested the water and found that "there is no indication of water pollution."
Previous Chemical Mishap
This is not the first time the water supply from the Songhua River has been cut off. Multiple explosions took place in the di-benzene manufacturing division of Jilin Petrochemical Company on Nov. 13, 2005. As a result, 100 tons of raw chemicals, benzene and nitrobenzene, escaped into the Songhua River.
The Jilin Petrochemical Company initially denied that there were chemicals leaking into the river as a result of the explosion. The official comment was that the explosions only generated water and carbon dioxide. The Chinese media did not mention emergency measures taken by cities along the river in Jilin Province. Only a week after the explosion did Heilongjiang Province, downstream from Jilin, begin to deal with the crisis.
The water company cut off the water supply one day after it announced the need for "maintenance work" to the system, which gave the citizens one day to store water. A day after the water supply was cut off, the water company announced that the water was polluted.
This time around, residents of Jilin began to suspect the reason behind the water supply being cut off. The water-shopping spree has launched the price of water from 20 yuan per barrel to 100 yuan. Despite the exorbitant cost, the water had sold out even before many had a chance to purchase any bottles.

Gartner continuing to support cancer care as part of the White Coat Challenge
Gartner enthusiastically returned to the White Coat Challenge for a second year in support of cancer care at The Ottawa Hospital. A select group ofOttawaarea businesses, including Gartner are helping facilitate the purchase an important software upgrade for the CyberKnife through their support.
The CyberKnife is the world's first and only robotic radiosurgery system, offering pain-free, non-invasive treatment for cancer patients. Thanks to the White Coat Challenge, this new software will:
- reduce radiation treatment times by roughly 30%
- potentially increase the number of Cyberknife patients seen annually by 50%
- mean faster treatments for patients, allowing their life to return to normal more quickly
In 2011, Gartner and other White Coat Challenge companies, collectively raised funds to equip a chemotherapy treatment bay at the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre. "We are proud of the way these businesses and their staff answered the call to help The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre continue to provide excellent care to patients currently receiving cancer treatment," said Tim Kluke, President and CEO of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.
Thank you, Gartner, for your ongoing support of cancer care at The Ottawa Hospital!

By MATT WOLF
Robert Fairchild and Leanne Cope in An American in Paris/ Ph: Johan Persson
Two plays featured real-life babies (
The Ferryman
). The National swung from instant sellouts to baffling duds. And the Almeida emerged as the Off West End theater of choice in a characteristically dizzying, often dazzling year on the London stage. That might not have been apparent at the National premiere of
, a riff on the Oscar Wilde tale from the writer-director Yael Farber that really did prompt thoughts of a mid-show escape – not possible given the absence of an intermission. The same show had been raved about in Washington D.C., which makes one wonder what happened in the trans-Atlantic crossing.
But the gifted Farber soon after redeemed herself, and then some, reviving for the Donmar Warehouse David Harrower's infinitely mysterious and intriguing
Knives In
, a parable of literacy and agency dressed up as a love triangle that Farber rendered with the atmospheric heft that has become her stock in trade. (There's scarcely another director working today whose lighting and sound designers make such a crucial difference. Tim Lutkin and Christopher Shutt were the consummate talents on hand here.)
Even as the National's capacious Olivier auditorium went on to house two more plays not ready for prime-time – though
Saint George and the Dragon
was quite a bit better than
and both were very well acted by their leads – the same address closed out the year with a wondrous revival of the 1971 Stephen Sondheim/James Goldman musical
Long talked about for this venue as a passion project of Trevor Nunn, the show landed in the empathic lap of Dominic Cooke, a dab hand with American work here directing, astonishingly, his first-ever musical, and with a social anatomist's eye for detail that meant the production not only looked ravishing but burrowed deeply under the skin.
I saw
three times and saw it deepen on each occasion, and my only regret is that I don't have a way of collating for eternal consideration the various ways that Imelda Staunton found to shade her character Sally Durant Plummer's torch song, "Losing My Mind." The staging's enthusiasts by the last performance had very nearly lost theirs – in delight. Cheers to the entire cast, not least Philip Quast and Peter Forbes, who were sometimes sidelined in the bouquets thrown at the female trifecta of Staunton, the sleekly acidic Janie Dee and the diminutive powerhouse that is Tracie Bennett.
New British musicals were there, if not necessarily to be savored. I'm far more sceptical than most of
Everybody's Talking About Jamie
a critics' favorite that has its heart in the right place but could use gallons more art.
The Grinning Man
, meanwhile, took as its source the same author as
Les Miserables
(Victor Hugo) while cribbing shamelessly from
The Phantom of the Opera
, all the while telling its basic story so convolutedly that this spectator's grin, for one, soon turned into a deeply furrowed brow. There were far greater pleasures at a trio of American titles, and not just
which cut its international chops by making an explosive star out of 25-year-old newcomer Jamael Westman in the title role.
Devotees had fun comparing the virtues of
An American in Paris
(which I saw four times) and
42nd Street
(twice, with more to come), but there's no doubt that Robert Fairchild, Zoe Rainey and David Seadon-Young all astonished in the former, whereas the latter gave vital pride of place to a fast-driving, hard-working ensemble who often looked as if they would stop at nothing in their quest to raise the roof. (Let's pause, though, to single out the lovely Clare Halse, whose small-town gal Peggy Sawyer genuinely does go out there an unknown and come back a star.)
New plays were inordinately rich on the ground, and varied too, if not always readily classifiable.
Girl From the North Country
divided playgoers as to whether it was a play with music or a musical, but there was scant argument about writer-director Conor McPherson and his musical arranger Simon Hale's abilities to wrest something fresh and fierce from the Bob Dylan back catalogue. A second Old Vic entry,
A Christmas Carol
adapted by
Harry Potter
scribe Jack Thorne, played Dickens' seasonal chestnut for keeps, proffering a message for compassion for the ages even as it sent Brussels sprouts falling from the ceiling into many a delighted lap.
The search for empathy and understanding fueled the altogether extraordinary Young Vic production of
The Jungle
, in which the vaunted playhouse (heading into 2018 with a new artistic director in Kwame Kwei-Armah) refashioned itself as the now-demolished Calais "jungle" – a blight on the landscape that was also, as Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin's immersive staging reminded us at every turn, for some not inconsiderable while a haven, a place of commingling, for better or worse a home. I saw it with a young Syrian friend of mine who had spent time in the "jungle" itself. He said the play felt entirely authentic, of which there is no higher praise.
Across town, the small but mighty Almeida fielded hit after hit, from Andrew Scott's febrile, flutelike
to Victoria Hamilton's Brexit-era businesswoman and grieving mum in the new Mike Bartlett play
which also seemed to put all the local garden centers on one Islington stage. Best of all was James Graham's journalistic vaudeville about a young Rupert Murdoch
, a cautionary tale for today that is also a nostalgic look back at a forever-vanished way of working in a newspaper era now given over to the digital. The method of production may have changed; the debate about morality posited by the play has not.
Yes, Prime Minister
contracts its run, while
A Chorus Line
expands its own.
- After 11 years as the Almeida Theatre's artistic director,
Michael Attenborough
is stepping down to focus on directing.
the Tony-Award winning musical is set to hit London in January.

One of nine centers on aging established at University
The Exploratory Center on Aging has been established at the University's Population Research Center as part of a national effort to improve demographic research on health, economics and aging.
The center, one of nine established nationwide, will be directed by Linda Waite, Professor in Sociology. The nine centers have received a total of $2 million in first-year funding from the National Institute on Aging and have been approved for five years of support.
The initiative will draw together researchers from the University, the National Opinion Research Center and other institutions to explore new approaches to the study of aging as well as ways of making data on aging more accessible.
"Many of the Exploratory Center projects will grow out of cooperation and exchange among scholars from varied disciplines," Waite said. "This kind of cooperation is a hallmark of the University of Chicago."
Among the topics to be explored at the Chicago center are the historical economics of aging, intergenerational transfers (the help and support to family members from either a younger or an older generation), health and disability, retirement, minority issues related to aging, and the biodemography of aging. Biodemography, a relatively new approach to the study of aging, is the study of the impact of advances in lifesaving medical technologies on the life span.
Researchers at the center will also help coordinate a more effective use of large amounts of data from national surveys on health, retirement and long-term care.
"With these programs in place, we will learn a great deal more about the aging of the population, including life expectancy, the impact of chronic diseases, use of medical services and long-term care, and costs of aging-related illnesses," said Richard Suzman, chief of demography and population epidemiology at the National Institute on Aging.
It is expected that the centers will become important resources for policy-makers, Suzman said. Research results will be shared with government agencies, members of Congress and other policy-makers. The centers will distribute analyses through scholarly papers as well as through computer on-line services.
Faculty members associated with the center at Chicago include Christine Cassel, Professor in Medicine and in the Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies; Robert Fogel, the Charles R. Walgreen Distinguished Service Professor in the Graduate School of Business; William Parish, Professor in Sociology; Ross Stolzenberg, Professor in Sociology; Marta Tienda, the Ralph Lewis Professor and Chairman of Sociology; and Robert Townsend, the Charles E.

Tina Fey may join Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell in The Muppets 2
Casting continues for the upcoming sequel THE MUPPETS 2, and today I'm happy to relay to you that Tina Fey (TV's 30 Rock) might be taking on the lead female role. Tina Fey would join Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell (TV's Modern Family) in the film that is being touted as "a European set adventure". Fey would be portraying a Russian prison guard and quite honestly just thinking about her with a Russian accent chasing after Muppets makes me giggle a bit. We still don't know exactly what the plot will be for this sequel, but does it really matter as long as all the major Muppets make an appearance?
In case you missed the news, Tina Fey will be hosting the 70th Annual Golden Globes this Sunday night with Amy Poehler, and this might be the first time this writer tunes in, because those ladies are hilarious. (THR)

In anticipation of the 2015 Leap-second, I'm in the process of constructing a monitor for my Trimble Thunderbolt GPS clock and DO so I can watch it "live". For the clock display, I'm evaluating an inexpensive 8-digit LED display with an SPI (mostly) interface from a MAX7219 (bought on-line for $2.35).
For a quick and easy test, a Bus Pirate is just the trick. Continue reading MAX7219 CWG 8-digit LED Display

My chest tightens and I feel a deep sense of sadness, frustration, hopelessness when I make the mistake of clicking on a comment section as I scroll through my social media feed. The sort of anger, hatred, cemented opinions that average people from all walks of life are posting–it shocks me. People I know and love participate in these, like and share inflammatory posts.
I see a lot of comments online that are anti-feminist or anti-Muslim, or both. I wish I could sit and have a calm conversation with someone who feels differently than I do. I wish I could explain that the very heart of feminism is simply equality. Just as there are different types of anything (Christians, Republicans, Liberals, cats, dogs, etc.!) there are different types of feminists. True feminism is belief in female equality. It is not belief in a political party, it is not love of one politician over another, it is not hatred of men. I am preaching to a choir, I know. I won't even get into the anti-Muslim rhetoric, because if you've read this far I am assuming you already feel the same as me. If you don't, I welcome peaceful discussion (face-to-face or something other than a comment, this is deep stuff!).
Last night I was racking my brain, trying to figure out where to put my anxiety over the amount of negative and fear-filled energy out there. I decided to use some of my tax return to donate to an organization that really represents peace, aid and love.
If you are looking for a way to get involved in helping refugees, women in crisis, and improving relationships between Christians and Muslims, I highly recommend looking into the Preemptive Love Coalition.
For me this transcends who is in the White House, it transcends America altogether. It's about aiding fellow human citizens in need, and promoting peace. I may be limited to my little neighborhood and my tiny charge (who is currently somehow in hour three of an epic morning nap) but I am still that girl who dreams of world peace, and knows that sensitivity is not shameful. To anyone who feels a similar anxiety, don't feel disheartened! Channel your love, through whatever peaceful acts you can manage.

Nebraskans are warned to do their research before contributing to a charity.
The advice from Chris Coleman, at the Better Business Bureau, is in response to a federal lawsuit involving all 50 states against four phony cancer charities.
The complaint says the organizations collected $187 million in donations over five years and only about five-precent of the money actually went to help cancer victims.
"It gives all of us real heartache because of all of us know family members or friends who are victims of cancer or have suffered through that disease," Coleman said.
The defendants in the lawsuit include Cancer Fund of America, Cancer Support Services, Children's Cancer Fund of America, and the Breast Cancer Society. Most donors in Nebraska, upon hearing the charities' names, probably felt comfortable making a donation.
"They borrowed a name of a good charity, I'd say they hijacked it," Coleman said. "They steal the good reputation of many charities."
The complaint claims a large majority of the contributions to the sham charities benefited only the defendants, their families and friends, and professional fundraising groups.
"If this causes consumers to do more research to verify the legitimacy of charities before they make a contribution, that will help all good charities and we feel confident about that," Coleman said. "We want our information to spotlight the best charities so people know where to contribute and where their gift can make the most difference."
Charities can be checked out at the Better Business Bureau's "Wise Giving" website.

History and Geography of Terceira Island
Terceira Island owes its name to the fact that it was the third island to be discovered, since the translation of "Terceira" is "third", although initially it was called Jesus Christ Island.
Terceira was populated around 1450 by Jácome Bruges, of Flemish origin.
Due to its privileged geographic position, Terceira Island was an important port of call for the Portuguese routes in the Atlantic Ocean and strengthened its importance as a commercial port in the 17th century because of the new route to India and the passage of the Spanish Army boats, loaded with gold, making their way back from Mexico and Peru towards Cadiz.
During the Liberal Wars, the island had an important role in the national political panorama, when in 1829 it hindered the landing of the Absolutists, against the Liberals, in the town of Praia. After this victorious event in favor of the Liberal cause, the Village changed its name to Praia da Vitória – Victory Beach.
Already during the XXth century, the Air Base 4 was constructed in Lajes, three kilometers from Praia da Vitória. This 3600 meters or 2 mile-long airport was the largest airport up until then in the Azorean archipelago. Air Base 4 still operates as a civil and military airport, being used mainly by the United States of America, under a cooperation agreement of defense.

Yoga practices are known to play a significant role in maintaining the mental health , Depression one of the most prevalent issues of the mental health which is effectively manageable with yoga practice and the application of its principles.
Before we start discussing how yoga can help people who are fighting with depression, it is crucial to understand what depression actually is.
Depression can be defined as the persistent feeing of sadness coupled with loneliness and loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed doing. It is a serious and common medical illness which adversely affects the way you feel and the way you think. Unlike a regular bout of sadness, depression may last for weeks and sometimes months. Depression interrupts with your daily routine and makes tasks such as getting up and coming out of the bed utterly difficult. The only good thing about it is that it's curable.
Causes of depression
The cause of depression is yet to be completely understood. But it can be said that depression is the result of a complex combination of various factors such as:
- Genetics
- Biological
- Psychosocial (psychological and social)
- Environmental
Some people are at a higher risk of acquiring depression than others due to some factors such as:
- Life events- bereavement, relationship issues with family and friends, divorce, financial problems, work issues, medical conditions or acute stress.
- Personality- people who have experienced trauma in a previous life or those with poor coping strategies.
- Genetic factors- people who have a first-degree relative suffering from depression are at a higher risk.
- Childhood trauma
- Prescription drugs- such as beta blockers, corticosteroids and others.
- Abuse of recreational drugs (such as amphetamines and alcohol) – drug abuse is greatly associated with depression. These can either result in depression or accompany it.
- A past head injury or trauma.
- People who have had a previous episode of depression are at a higher risk of developing it again.
- People suffering from serious health conditions such as chronic pain syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Symptoms of depression
- Bout of sadness and a depressed mood
- Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Change in appetite (eating too less or too much)
- Change in weight (weight loss or weight gain)
- Troubled sleeping (sleeping too much or too less)
- Fatigue
- Feeling guilty or worthless
- Difficulty in concentrating, thinking and making decisions
- Suicidal thoughts
Treatments for depression
As I mentioned above the only good thing about depression is that it can be cured. The most common types of treatments for curing depression are:
- Medication- antidepressants
- Psychotherapy- talking therapies
- Support- discussing the problems and finding out suitable solutions with the help of family members and friends to treat the depression from the root
How can yoga help with treating depression?
Yoga in the modern world is capable of preventing and treating a lot of disease and health conditions, depression being one of them. But it is important to keep in mind that yoga is not a direct treatment for curing depression. Only when coupled with other common treatments it can help in reducing the symptoms gradually. Regular practice of yoga helps in keeping the mind calm and relaxed. It also imparts you with the strength to face difficult situations in life without panicking or getting restless. Yoga practice for treating depression should ideally include-
- Yoga asanas– Yoga asanas or yoga postures can help in acquiring a healthy and happy mind as they help in releasing tension and negativity from the system. Poses which work wonders for treating depression are:
- Dhanurasana
- Janu Shirsasana
- Matsyasana
- Setubandhasana
- Paschimottanasana
- Marjariasana
- Adhomukha Shwanasana
- Hastapadasana
- Shirshasana
- Shavasana
- Pranayama- Breathing is such an important body function and is indispensable to life and survival. Yet we pay no attention to it. But paying attention to our breathing, even if it for a short span of time can help greatly with de-cluttering the mind of any sad, destructive thoughts. It also makes you aware of your survival and be grateful about it. there are different types of pranayama that you can try, such as:
- Kapal Bhati Kriya
- Nadi Shodhan Pranayama
- Bhastrika Pranayama
- Bhramari Pranayama
- Meditation- Meditation is one technique which helps greatly in relaxing a depressed and distracted mind. It makes you calmer while imparting peace to your mind. With regular practice of meditation, you will notice your anxious and depressed self, getting more and more content, cheerful and happy. Dedicate at least 15-20 minutes every day to meditation and you are sure to notice a considerable difference in the amount of stress and tension.
Yoga cannot solely cure depression especially chronic depression cases. It should be coupled with proper medical diagnosis and treatment to get the maximum results. Yoga can either be practiced at home or you can also join a yoga school. Joining a beginners yoga course is a great option as you can learn the basics of yoga and then practice it at the comfort of your home whenever you want. Try to maintain a close bond with your family and friends and share your feelings with them. Surround yourself with people who love you and care for you. Always remember that joy, peace and happiness dwell only in a positive mind.

Just like beef, only with mushrooms.
I had some rutabagas that needed to be cooked. I have had them for two+ weeks, and my luck wasn't going to hold out much longer. So I peeled and cubed them, then boiled them until they were soft. Per Mark Bittman, I put them in the food processor with three handfuls of almonds, salt, pepper, and some olive oil. Then I turned the processor on. When the whole thing was pureed, I stopped it, spooned some on a plate, and ate it with sautéed chicken. However, I cooked and pureed four rutabagas. There were leftovers.
I remembered a meal where beef stew was served over mashed potatoes. I could riff off that. And I did.
Often I use a wonderful recipe for beef bourguignon from Ina Garten. That takes about two hours to complete, and I wasn't feelin' it. Mushrooms are a decent, and fast, substitute for beef, I'm here to tell you. So I decided to put 'shrooms over the leftover rutabaga puree. It was lovely. It is made for a weeknight after work. And if you don't have rutabaga puree, serve it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or toasted bread.
Mushroom Bourguignon – serves four
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs. white mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
2 portabella mushrooms, gills removed and diced into 1/2 inch pieces
12 sun-dried tomato halves, slivered; or 2 tablespoons tomato paste
10 branches of thyme (or half of a clamshell package that you get at the store)
1 bay leaf
2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 bottle your favorite red wine
1 tablespoon flour
Heat a large saucepan (Dutch oven actually) over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil.
When the butter is melted, add the garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and sun-dried tomatoes (or tomato paste). Stir and allow to cook in the fat for five minutes or so. You want these flavors to become part of the fat.
Add all of the mushrooms at once, and turn up the heat to medium high. Stir occasionally. The mushrooms will release a lot of moisture. Allow this mushroom juice to cook completely away. When the pan is pretty much dry, pour in the wine. Make sure it almost covers the mushrooms. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mash the remaining tablespoon of butter and flour together into a paste. After 15 minutes are up, remove the thyme and bay leaf. Mix the butter and flour paste into the mushroom stew. The sauce will thicken somewhat and become glossy. That's when it's done.
Put your vegetable puree, noodles, or other base of choice on a plate, and ladle the mushroom bourguignon over the top. Serve the rest of the wine with dinner. Oooooo – a sprinkling of chopped parsley would be perfect as a finish!

text: Consumer Affairs Victoria takes action against Hoskins (Maroondah) Pty Ltd for underquoting - Media release Skip listen and sharing tools Listen Date 8 December 2017 Category Media releases The Director of Consumer Affairs Victoria has commenced action in the Federal Court of Australia against Hoskins (Maroondah) Pty Ltd ACN: 095 367 712 and its director Brent Robert Peters, for allegedly engaging in misleading and deceptive practices and unconscionable conduct relating to the sale of land. Consumer Affairs Victoria will allege that during 2015 and 2016, Hoskins advertised properties for sale at prices much lower than it believed they would actually sell for. The alleged conduct relates to 26 residential properties located in Croydon, Croydon Hills, Croydon North, Mooroolbark, Park Orchards, Ringwood, Ringwood North, Warranwood and Wonga Park. Further, Consumer Affairs Victoria will allege Hoskins misled two vendors it was acting for, by telling them their properties would sell for much less than it believed they would sell for, in order to claim 'incentive commissions' from the vendors when the properties sold at a much higher price. Such conduct, it is alleged, was also unconscionable. Consumer Affairs Victoria will allege Hoskins contravened section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law, which prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct in trade and commerce, section 30 of the Australian Consumer Law, which prohibits false or misleading representations in connection to the sale and promotion of land, and section 21 of the Australian Consumer Law which prohibits unconscionable conduct. Consumer Affairs Victoria will also allege Mr Peters aided and abetted the company's conduct. The court action has resulted from the work of Consumer Affairs Victoria's underquoting taskforce, Taskforce Vesta. Tags Estate agents Back To Top
