The principal acts of the general assembly, convened at Edinburgh, May 22, 1800.
I. Sess. 1, May 22, 1800.—The King's Commission to David Earl of Leven and Melville produced, and ordered to be recorded.
II. Sess. 1, May 22, 1800.—The King's most gracious Letter to the General Assembly, presented to them by his Majesty's Commissioner.
George, R.
Right Reverend and well-beloved, we greet you well. The uniform experience
we have had for so long a course of years of your attachment to our person, of your
zeal for the interests of religion, and of the wisdom and prudence of your proceedings, cannot fail to enhance the satisfaction we have always felt in giving the sanction of our royal authority to the meetings of your venerable body.
The objects of your deliberations are among the most important that can engage the attention of men. The propagation of Christian knowledge, the maintenance of the reformed religion, the discouragement of vice and immorality, and the diffusion of a spirit of charity and benevolence, and of submission to the laws, are ends which must excite in you the most ardent zeal for their attainment.
You will, doubtless, have felt, that your labours are become doubly important, and, in the same proportion, more painful and difficult, from the opposition of factious men, enemies of our religion, and of all social order and legal government. The success with which you have hitherto withstood their pernicious designs, affords the surest ground of confidence, that the continuance of your exertions, united with those of our other good and loyal subjects, will ultimately prove effectual, and that we shall be enabled, with the aid of Divine Providence, to transmit to posterity the unimpaired enjoyment of all the blessings, civil and religious, of our free and happy constitution.
The distress under which a large portion of your fellow-creatures must inevitably labour, during these times of scarcity with which it has pleased Almighty God to visit us, will not escape your attention; and will call upon you individually, in the discharge of your sacred functions, to inculcate with additional ardour the indispensable obligation of relieving, according to the abilities of each, the necessities of the poor.
We have again thought fit to appoint our right trusty and right well-beloved cousin, David Earl of Leven and Melville, to be our Commissioner, to represent our person and royal authority in this present Assembly; not doubting but that the same eminent qualifications which have recommended him to our repeated choice will continue to make him acceptable to you, in the execution of the high and important trust committed to his care. And we have charged him, in a most especial manner, to assure you of our great sense of your steady and firm zeal for our service, and of our resolution to preserve and maintain the Church of Scotland, as by law established, in the full and free enjoyment of all its rights and privileges.
Trusting in the goodness of Almighty God, that He will bless your pious labours with his especial favour, we commend you to his gracious protection. And so we bid you heartily farewell.
Given at our Court of St James's, the 6th day of May 1800, in the 40th year of our reign.
By his Majesty's Command,
Addressed thus—To the Right Reverend and Well-beloved, the Moderator, Ministers, and Elders, of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
III. Sess. 2, May 23, 1800.—Address to his Majesty, on his late Providential Escape from Assassination.
May it please your Majesty,
We, the ministers and elders of the Church of Scotland met in the General Assembly,
beg leave to approach your Majesty's throne with trembling yet joyful hearts,
on your late Providential escape from the hand of a traitorous assassin.
That even treason itself should dare to attempt a life so precious to your faithful subjects, which has been endeared to them by the exercise of every virtue that can adorn the character of a patriot King, excites our utmost horror and indignation; while, at the same time, the guardian care of Divine Providence, in preserving the father of his country to his grateful and affectionate people, raises in our breast every sentiment of piety and thankfulness to the God of heaven.
When we convey to your Majesty our warmest congratulations on this awful event, we cannot fail to observe how much the most imminent dangers illustrate your Majesty's Christian fortitude and magnanimity; endear you still more and more to your admiring subjects; and call forth our most fervent prayers for the prolongation of a life so important at this juncture to them and to all the nations of Europe, till your Majesty shall have completed the glories of your reign, in the accomplishment of all your exalted plans for the security of Great Britain, and the peace of the world.
That Almighty God may ever keep your Majesty under His Divine protection;
that He may bless you in your person, family, and government; that He may bless
your royal consort the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and all the Royal
Family; and that, after a long and prosperous reign, you may exchange an earthly
for a celestial crown, through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, are the earnest
prayers of,
May it please your Majesty, your Majesty's most dutiful, most faithful,
and most obedient subjects, the Ministers and Elders met in this
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Signed in our name, in our presence, and at our appointment, by
George Baird, Moderator.
IV. Sess. 3, May 24, 1800.—The General Assembly's Answer to the King's most gracious Letter.
May it please your Majesty,
The gracious letter with which your Majesty has been pleased to honour this meeting of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, was received with the utmost respect and gratitude.
The approbation of the spirit and proceedings of former Assemblies, which your Majesty's benignity has condescended to express with so much paternal affection, is peculiarly grateful to us as a body, and operates on our feelings as an encouragement to follow, in attachment to your Majesty's person, in zeal for the interests of religion, and in charity towards one another, the example of those enlightened and virtuous men who have gone before us; and to deserve, like them, that sanction of royal authority which gives solemnity and effect to the decisions of our National Church.
Impressed with a just sense of the important nature of those objects which claim our consideration, we beg leave to assure your Majesty, that the propagation of Christian knowledge, the maintenance of the reformed religion, the discouragement of vice and immorality, and the diffusion of a spirit of charity and benevolence, and of submission to the laws, are ends which shall continue to excite in our minds the most ardent zeal for their attainment.
In the trying and eventful period in which we live, we have felt that our labours have become doubly important, both to private happiness and the public safety; while we have also had the mortification to discover, that, in the same proportion, they have been rendered more painful and difficult by the opposition of factious men, enemies of our religion, and of all social order and legal government. We rejoice, that our honest and unremitted exertions, in union with those of your Majesty's other good and loyal subjects, have hitherto been successful in frustrating their pernicious designs; and in full assurance of the continued favour of Providence to a righteous cause, we look forward with confidence to the termination of this great conflict, when your Majesty shall be enabled to transmit to posterity the unimpaired enjoyment of all the blessings, civil and religious, of our free and happy constitution.
The distress under which a large portion of our fellow-creatures has inevitably laboured, during these times of scarcity with which it has pleased Almighty God to visit us, has repeatedly claimed our serious attention; and amidst the hardships to which our people must still submit, it gives us the most sincere satisfaction to assure your Majesty, that in no period known to us have the good sense, the patriotism, and the charity of the country, been more conspicuously displayed. The care employed by the opulent and well-informed to point out the nature and extent of the visitation, and to provide the means of alleviating its pressure, has been most meritorious. Of this the poor themselves are not insensible; and the patience and resignation which they have very generally exercised under difficulties seldom known in our land, give us room to hope, that, in the honest pursuits of industry, and in dutiful submission to lawful authority, they will quietly wait for the return of a more favourable harvest. Meanwhile, we beg leave to assure your Majesty, that, in the individual discharge of the duties of our function, we shall not fail to inculcate, with additional ardour, the indispensable obligation of relieving, according to the abilities of each, the necessities of the poor.
Your Majesty's donation of L.1000 for propagating Christian knowledge in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland was received with much gratitude, as a fresh instance of your paternal solicitude for the best interests of your people, as well as of the confidence which you are pleased to repose in the wisdom and fidelity of this Assembly; and it shall be our endeavour, by a prudent and just application of it, to promote the pious purposes for which it is bestowed.
The appointment of the Earl of Leven and Melville to represent your Majesty's sacred person and royal authority in this present Assembly, we regard as a pleasing testimony of your affection to our Church. The attachment of this noble Lord to your Majesty's person, his zeal for the interests of the Church of Scotland, and the virtues of his private life; the eminent qualifications which have recommended him to your Majesty's repeated choice, endear him to us in the execution of the high and important trust committed to his care. The flattering manner in which he has communicated the gracious assurance of the sense which your Majesty is pleased to entertain of our steady and firm zeal for your service, has given us the truest pleasure. And we rely with entire confidence in your Majesty's resolution to preserve and maintain the Church of Scotland, as by law established, in the full and free enjoyment of all its rights and privileges.
That Almighty God may continue to preserve your sacred life, to guide your
councils, and prosper your administration; that He may bless our most gracious
Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and all the Royal Family; and that, after
a long life of eminent and exemplary virtue upon earth, you may, through the merits
of Jesus Christ our Lord, receive in heaven the recompence of reward, are the sincere
prayers of,
May it please your Majesty, your Majesty's most faithful, most obedient,
and most loyal subjects, the Ministers and Elders met in this General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Signed in our name, in our presence, and at our appointment, by
George Baird, Moderator.
V. Sess. 6, May 28, 1800.—Address to his Majesty on the present Situation of Public Affairs.
Most Gracious Sovereign,
We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the ministers and elders of the
Church of Scotland met in the General Assembly, beg leave to approach the
throne with sentiments of the sincerest attachment to your person and government.
Grateful to Providence for that happy constitution under which Britons have so long enjoyed every blessing that can sweeten and adorn social life, we reflect with the deepest regret on those groundless complaints and murmurings which were heard at no distant period in every corner of our land, and which furnished a just subject of alarm to the friends of order and peace. But we rejoice to think, that the exertions of the virtuous, the writings of the wise, and the seasonable interposition of public authority, have served, by the blessing of Heaven, to counteract the insidious arts of the disaffected; and it affords us the sincerest satisfaction to be able to assure your Majesty, that among the great body of the people committed to our care, there prevails an unshaken attachment to our excellent constitution in Church and State, and a just abhorrence of that system of impiety and anarchy which hath spread misery and desolation through many parts of the earth.
In reviewing the events of a war, on the success of which depends the preservation of all that is dear to a virtuous mind, we admire the wisdom and the steadiness of your Majesty's councils, which have kept alive the hopes, and animated the exertions of the other States of Europe; and while our devout acknowledgments ascend to the Lord of Hosts, who hath supported our righteous cause, with heartfelt pleasure we congratulate your Majesty on the many important advantages which have been obtained in the course of last year, by the arms of our country and our allies. We recollect, with joy, that during this period, Italy hath been delivered from the tyranny of lawless force; that to the kingdom of Naples its ancient constitution hath been restored; that in Egypt a desperate plan hath been frustrated, by which our enemies hoped to spread sedition and tumult through the remotest regions of the earth; and that the defeat of a formidable rival, whom their restless hostility had excited against us, hath placed the British possessions in India in a state of permanent tranquillity; and that, on the coast of Holland, a fleet, equipped for the very purpose of conveying invaders to our shores, hath surrendered to us without a battle, adding a new and glorious trophy to the many signal victories which the valour of our seamen hath obtained.
In this rapid succession of events, which contribute so much to the security of our native country, and the general interests of mankind, we adore the Providence of that Almighty Being, to whom "the glory and the victory belong;" and we would improve them as a ground of hope, that the cause of religion and good order will triumph over all opposition; and that the efforts of Britain and her allies will be crowned with such further success as may ensure a happy termination of the important contest in which they are engaged.
That Almighty God may protect your Majesty's person, direct your councils, and
prosper your administration: that He may bless our gracious Queen Charlotte, the
Prince and Princess of Wales, and all the Royal Family; and that, after swaying the
sceptre for many years, with wisdom and felicity, over a loyal, a virtuous, and a happy
people, you may, through Jesus Christ our Lord, receive that unfading crown which
awaits the righteous, are the earnest prayers of,
May it please your Majesty, your Majesty's most dutiful, most faithful,
and most obedient subjects, the Ministers and Elders met in this
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Signed in our name, in our presence, and at our appointment, by
George Baird, Moderator.
VI. Sess. 9, May 31, 1800.—Commission of the General Assembly to certain Ministers and Ruling Elders for discussing Affairs referred to them.
VII. Sess. 9, May 31, 1800.—Commission to some Ministers and Ruling Elders for the Reformation of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and for Managing his Majesty's Royal Bounty for that end.
VIII. Sess. ult., June 2, 1800.—Overture respecting the Attendance of Students on the Divinity Hall.
IX. Sess. ult., June 2, 1800.—Overture respecting the Course of University Education to be observed by Students previous to their entering the Divinity Hall.
X. Sess. ult., June 2, 1800.—New Overture respecting the Licensing of Probationers.
XI. Sess. ult., June 2, 1800.—Order and Injunction of the General Assembly to the Presbyteries of the Church, concerning Teachers and Schoolmasters.
The General Assembly called for the Report of the Committee on Vagrant Teachers and Sunday Schools; and the same was given in and read. The General Assembly having considered this report of the committee, who had been directed to class the reports of Presbyteries concerning schoolmasters, whether of parochial schools, or schools of any other description; and it appearing that not a fourth part of the Presbyteries of the Church have made any report, the Assembly peremptorily enjoin all the other Presbyteries of the Church to send up to next General Assembly particular reports of their obedience to the order of last Assembly. The General Assembly trust, that those Presbyteries which have sent up particular reports, will continue the same laudable and vigilant attention to the important object specially committed to their inspection; and that they will not fail to transmit to next Assembly any new facts which may fall within their observation. The General Assembly recommend to all Presbyteries to take the method which appears to them most expedient of examining the teachers on the branch of knowledge which they profess to teach, to require all parochial and established schoolmasters to subscribe the Confession of Faith and Formula, if they have not already done so, and to ask all teachers of youth, without exception, to produce to the Presbytery attestations of their having taken the oaths to government; and they order a particular report of obedience to this recommendation to be made to next Assembly. And further, the General Assembly enjoin all the Presbyteries of this Church to transmit, without delay, attested copies of their reports to the Assembly, to the Sheriffs within whose jurisdiction they are situated. And they instruct the clerks to keep the reports sent up to this Assembly, and the report of the committee on this subject, in safe custody. And the General Assembly appoint their clerks to cause separate copies of this order to be printed, together with the injunction of last Assembly relative to this matter, and to transmit copies thereof to the moderator of each Presbytery of the Church, to be laid by him before the Presbytery at their first ordinary meeting after receiving the same.
The Injunction of the General Assembly, 1799, is then repeated:—
The General Assembly enjoin all Presbyteries of this Church to be diligent in exercising those powers which the laws of the land and of the Church have committed to them, with respect to the education of youth within their bounds, &c.
XII. Sess. ult., June 2, 1800.—Recommendation by the General Assembly, for promoting a Subscription towards Defraying the Expense of the Appeal in the Cause relating to the Schoolmaster of Bothwell; and Order for Printing the Appeal Case prepared by the Procurator.
The committee appointed to take the necessary steps in the cause relating to the schoolmaster of Bothwell, having reported to the Assembly that the appeal from the two last interlocutors of the Court of Session in that cause has been heard and determined by the House of Peers; and that the interlocutors complained of have been finally reversed: That though the committee had received L.118, 14s. 10d. from the voluntary contribution of the Presbyteries, and L.80 from the funds of the Church, the expense incurred has, notwithstanding, considerably exceeded the funds with which the committee were entrusted, and that the deficiency amounts to upwards of L.196. The General Assembly, considering that the judgment which has been ultimately pronounced in this cause is of general importance, as it has effectually established the exclusive jurisdiction of the Church, with regard to the qualifications and the trial of parochial schoolmasters: and considering, at the same time, that the state of the funds of the Church does not allow the Assembly at present to make good the whole of the expense incurred, did, and hereby do, earnestly recommend it to the several Presbyteries within the bounds of this Church, and especially to those who have not hitherto contributed, to promote a subscription among their members, in order to assist the funds of the Church, in extinguishing a debt which the final decision of this cause, so important in its consequences to the whole country, has occasioned. And the General Assembly appoint the clerks of Assembly to cause this minute to be immediately printed at the public expense, and to transmit a copy thereof, without delay, to the moderators of the several Presbyteries, which they hereby enjoin them to lay before the said Presbyteries respectively, at their first ordinary meeting after it shall come to their hands. And further, the General Assembly appoint the said moderators to remit to Mr William Murray, Agent for the Church, whatever sums shall be subscribed within their respective Presbyteries, and, if possible, to do this on or before the 1st day of October next. And the General Assembly renew the appointment of the committee, with instructions to attend to the progress of the subscription, and to the application of the sums which shall be received by the Agent; and to report the result to next General Assembly.
The General Assembly, considering, at the same time, that the appeal case prepared by the Procurator in this cause contains a statement of facts, which it would be extremely useful to render generally known through the Church, they appoint the clerks to cause such a number of copies thereof to be printed as the committee shall think expedient, to circulate them among the several Presbyteries, and to apply to the cashier of the Church for the sum necessary to defray the expense, which the Assembly hereby authorise him to advance.
XIII. Sess. ult., June 2, 1800.—Act appointing the Diet of the next General Assembly.
The next General Assembly of this National Church is appointed to be held within the New Church Aisle of Edinburgh, on Thursday, the 21st day of May 1801.

How to Celebrate Chinese New Year
Posted: Friday, January 24th, 2014
Chinese New Year is a celebration of good fortune and new beginnings. While the traditions for Chinese New Year originate in the cultures and communities in China, the holiday is celebrated the world-over with parades, festivals, and parties. If you're unfamiliar with Chinese New Year celebrations and customs, there are several simple ways that you can celebrate with your family. Read on to learn how to celebrate Chinese New Year with your children.
Cleaning and tidying your home is a great way to prepare for the New Year. Cleaning up dirt and dust is seen as a way to 'sweep away the bad luck' from the previous year. Getting ready for Chinese New Year is also a great motivator for kids to pitch in on the cleanup process. Tidying up can also apply to personal appearance; many people get haircuts or new clothes for the New Year.
The color red is associated with good luck during Chinese New Year, so many families choose to decorate their houses in the color. Try making Chinese New Year crafts for kids with your children to add some good-luck red to your home. Elaborate looking dragon puppets, wishing trees, and hanging lanterns are surprisingly easy to make with young children, using cardstock and floral foam.
One of the best ways to celebrate Chinese New Year is with food! Families celebrate the holiday by eating foods that symbolize a long and prosperous year. Eating a whole fish, with head and tail included, is symbolic of having a good beginning and ending to the New Year. Long noodles, such as Chow Mein, symbolize a long life. Make the meal extra special with dumplings as appetizers and fortune cookies for dessert.
In many cities, the multi-week Chinese New Year celebration begins with a big parade and ends with a lantern festival. Do an online search to see if a city near you offers these celebrations. Another fun tradition revolves around red envelopes; married couples give red envelopes containing small amounts of money to single adults and children. You can even make and decorate your own envelopes using this template. Generally, the holiday is celebrated by being friendly and cheerful, so meet with friends, enjoy family togetherness, and take time to do things that make you happy.

The VOX name is legendary. Their amps were at the vanguard of the British Invasion with bands like The Beatles and Rolling Stones. Then, in the 70's, VOX amps could be found on the stage at Queen concerts. The distinctive VOX sound is still well-loved by musicians around the world and VOX products are still made to the same demanding specifications that launched them and their users onto the world's stage. |

If there is one on here to can, pls help me find it. I have extra cider left over from Apple Cider Jelly and thought a pancake syrup would be nice..... |

Here's one. There are a lot of similar recipes; some have less butter, some increase or decrease the spices or just use cinnamon, not nutmeg. This isn't a canning recipe, of course. Apple Cider Syrup Category: Syrup Ingredients: Directions: Recipe Location: http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/1018/AppleCiderSyrup69820.shtml |
Simlpy boil it down to whatever consistancy you like. Keep in mimd that because you are removing most of the water, the natural pectin will set it up as a gel. You don't need to add anything, except maybe a bit of cinnamon and cardamom. To add more complex flavor, add a little honey and also maple syrup. |
I use this recipe all the time with great results. It should work fine for your syrup, too. Season with spices as you want, too. Syrups made from blackberries, huckleberries, raspberries, boysenberries, loganberries, sour cherries, and Island Belle grapes as well as mixtures of berries are of good flavor, color, and consistency (thin like maple syrup, medium thick like corn syrup, or slightly jelled). Syrups can be made with or without pectin and lemon juice. Lemon juice may improve color. Use of pectin will vary consistency. To Prepare Fruit Puree: SYRUPS MADE WITH PUREE 1. Mix puree, sugar, pectin and lemon juice. To Prepare Fruit Juice: SYRUPS MADE WITH JUICE 1. Mix juice, sugar, lemon juice and pectin. |
Thank you for the suggestions! I was thinking...and that could be a bad thing....if I make a syrup...can I add some apple chunks or slices that have been cooked? Kinda like a jam that is runny. Maybe use an apple jam recipe and just cook it down with no pectin? I think the answer is yes but just want to be sure for safety's sake. I know everyone strives for the firm jam!!! Just thinking... |
OK...now I am thinking and all circuits are firing....of course I can use a jam variation! Never mind...I think... |
- Posted by readinglady z8 OR (My Page) on Sun, Oct 28, 07 at 13:09
Sure, the apple pie jam might work well for that. Use cider instead of water (or half and half water and cider). I'd still use pectin but only, say, half a package, for some thickening but not the consistency of jam. Carol |
I agree, Carol, I think a half package of pectin would thicken but not jell. Or I'd leave the pectin out altogether and just cook it until it thickens. Annie |

Conservationists look to final plenary to cement positive yet tentative decisions
Bangkok, 11 March 2013. In a highly anticipated Committee vote today, proposals to list under CITES* five species of sharks were supported by more than the two-thirds majority of voting countries needed for adoption. Conservationists are pleased yet mindful that decisions must still be confirmed in the final plenary session later this week.
Last Thursday, 7th March at a reception dedicated to sharks at the Retro Café, Bangkok, Project AWARE welcomed CITES country delegations and turned over more than 135,000 shark petition signatures from scuba divers and shark supporters in more than 228 countries, territories and areas of special interest.
Experiencing the unique beauty of the underwater world as a diver inspires me to do what I can to protect our ocean and its inhabitants, particularly magnificent species like sharks and rays.
Thailand signals opposition to CITES listings while Senegal proclaims support
Debate is heating up on proposed protections for sharks and rays at a major global trade meeting. Shark conservation experts have united to urge governments to vote in favour of the measures and thereby ensure the survival of the threatened species. Roughly 150 of the 178 governments that are party to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) are expected to vote on these proposals over the coming days.
Increased trade protection for polar bears and sharks are on the agenda of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) next week in Bangkok, officials said Thursday. "We expect proposals on polar bears, sharks and manta rays will go to a vote," convention secretary general John Scanlon said. The CITES meeting, which is to begin Sunday and run through to March 14, is drawing more than 2,000 delegates from 177 countries.
Overfishing threatens the magnificent and prized 'Ali Maduwa', writes Malaka Rodrigo.
A giant "maduwa", or manta ray, was netted last week by fisherman in Welipatanwila, Ambalanthota, on the South coast. The ocean creature was pregnant and weighed 1,500 kilograms. A week earlier, another manta ray was caught by fishermen in Akkaraipattu, on the East coast. Both sea creatures have been identified as Giant Oceanic Manta Rays, the largest member of the ray family.
The United States said Friday it would support proposals to curb the trade of five shark species and manta rays, whose numbers are declining because of demand for fins and gills.
"For several decades, we have been increasingly concerned about the over harvest of sharks and manta rays," US Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said in a meeting at the United Nations, according to a statement.
It's that time of year when many of us take stock. What happened in 2012? How can we make the New Year the best that it can be? Project AWARE is hitting the ground running in 2013 and we're committed to ensuring progress for sharks and rays under CITES this March. You can help push for these protections: Sign the petition today!

Justin Bieber enjoys concert of Timbarlake in company of model
The Canadian singer Justin Bieber was spotted with model and the singer Ella Paige, with whom he enjoyed a concert of Justin Timberlake.
The singer of "Baby" and "Boyfriend", went to the concert last Wednesday that Timberlake offered at HMV Forum in Kentish Town, north London, and that was where he was seen with the 17-year-old who is model of a Californian clothing brand.
Elle Paige, along with his role on the runways, has earned a little reflectors thanks to his interest by emphasizing as the singer, and inclusive in the channel of videos Youtube some clips can be seen where does the own thing.

Have you ever listened to an album and wondered how someone that's not you was able to create lyrics that bring your personal feelings to full fruition. I've heard people speak of these experiences in the past, but I have never had the pleasure of bonding with an album so deeply that I was forever connected with the words that they fashioned. That was until I had the pleasure of listening to Toronto singer/songwriter Emma-Lee's sophomore album, BACKSEAT HEROINE.
I grew up with an extremely musical family that still to this day "jams" at our holiday get-togethers. My uncles all bring their guitars and we spend hours singing, dancing and enjoying each other's company while humming along to the acoustic music that brings us all together. I think that these familial experiences is what has drawn me to the musical styling's of such purely talented artists as Adele, Dallas Green, The Civil Wars and now Emma-Lee.
* I would like to take a moment to put it out there, mid-blog post, that I usually have to write my entries in complete silence, but I CANNOT for the life of me force myself to stop listening to this album *
According to Emma-Lee, the only goal for her new record, available February 7th via eOne Music Canada, was to put the emphasis less on "songs about break-ups and heartbreak" and to come away with "an album that was fun to play". To make a bold statement, BACKSEAT HEROINE is the absolute FUNNEST (I know it's not a real word, sillypants) to play! I found myself dancing around my condo to the wonderful and reflective I'll Dream For You; singing in the shower to the jazz-infused Not Coming By; and mentally producing the music video (obviously staring me!) to the perfect lullaby Just Looking. In comparison to her 2008 debut album, Never Just a Dream, Emma-Lee claims her new album "leans more Stevie Nicks than Sarah Vaughn" but I think that in this statement Emma-Lee is selling herself short – I say, Stevie Nicks who? Emma-Lee is the one to watch!
Emma-Lee's remarkable vocals aside, what further draws me to this album is how cool the artist is. In an attempt to inject her songs with spontaneity, Emma-Lee produced a series of video-documentaries that followed her hitch-hiking expeditions around the Greater Toronto Area and performing to random motorist in exchange for a lift. Kids, I don't recommend you try this at home but it definitely made for an interesting biopic. I highly urge you to check out Emma-Lee's YOUTUBE channel for her experiences "abroad"/as a passenger on a rickshaw – too funny!
While listening to the album, all I could think – other than that I really wish I could sing – was that I cannot wait to hear her perform live, which is exactly what Emma-Lee was aiming to do while creating this disc. According to my new favourite artist, "What I hope is that people hear it and think it's something they really want to go see live". I can promise you this Emma-Lee, I'm already in line to buy tickets…and I heard it – boy, did I ever!

PeopleTowels is an eco-friendly product which eliminates the use of paper towels. They are comprised of 100% organic Fair Trade Cotton and were created in efforts to save trees, reduce waste in our landfills, cut CO2 emissions and to conserve water.
The concept between PeopleTowels originates in Japan, where people have been using such hand towels in public for many years. Because of the size of Japan, the Japanese are very aware of waste disposal issues and are therefore eco-conscious.
PeopleTowels' co-founder is Mary Wallace, who was inspired by the Japanese. Hence, she brings us the concept of PeopleTowels, in an effort to encourage us all to, "B.Y.O.Towel" and why not? They're green. They're smart. They support planetary longevity.
PeopleTowels reaches even farther than the smart towel. This is evident in their corporate relationships with 1% for the Planet, the Breast Cancer Fund, Climate Counts.org, the Green Business Network, Green my Lunchbox, Teens Turning Green and The Nature Conservancy.
If you require a green gift for that special someone on Valetine's Day, PeopleTowels can accommodate.

(Corrects to say May 19 settlement announcement was inadvertently reposted temporarily on attorney general's website and not e-mailed.)
June 15 (Bloomberg) -- Quest Diagnostics Inc., California's largest provider of medical laboratory testing, agreed to pay $241 million to settle state claims that it overcharged California's medical program for the poor, Attorney General Kamala Harris said in a May 19 settlement announcement that was inadvertently reposted temporarily today on her web site.
The accord is the largest recovery in the history of California's False Claims Act, Harris said. The settlement resolved a 2005 lawsuit filed by a whistle-blower alleging that Madison, New Jersey-based Quest overcharged the Medi-Cal program for more than 15 years and gave kickbacks in the form of discounted or free testing to doctors, hospitals and clinics that referred patients to the labs, Harris said.
Quest, which announced the settlement last month, denied wrongdoing, according to the agreement. The company will take an after-tax charge of $195 million, or $1.19 a share, reducing by the same amount its income from continuing operations reported on April 20, Quest said in a May 9 statement.
The charge results in Quest restating its earnings to a loss for continuing operations of $53 million, or 33 cents a share, from the previously reported profit of $141 million, or 86 cents a share, the company said in the statement.

Entrepreneurship is one of the most important drivers of job creation and economic growth, and is crucial for the development of a vibrant formal small- and medium-sized business sector. It enhances productivity growth and can also help find practical business solutions to social and environmental challenges, including climate change. Despite its importance, entrepreneurship is not always actively encouraged in all developing countries through dedicated policy initiatives. Both economic theory and practice demonstrate that entrepreneurship may generate social gains beyond private gains. A proactive role of governments in supporting entrepreneurship is therefore justified and it requires a systemic approach. This section explores key elements of a national entrepreneurship strategy.
- Number of formal business start-ups created annually- Survival rates- Share of total start-ups in target areas such as high-tech enterprises, green enterprises, social enterprises or enterprises in key exporting sectors- Share of total start-ups in target groups such as women, youth, minorities, rural populations- Job growth due to start-ups- Revenue generated and taxes paid by start-ups (values and growth rates)
- Success of entrepreneurs in starting and sustaining businesses- Success in reaching specific targets for different sectors- Improved economic opportunities for target groups of the population- Economic impact of entrepreneurship
The unleashing of entrepreneurship requires an environment that enables the entrepreneur to create, operate, manage, and if necessary, close a business within a context where compliance with the rule of law governing disclosure, licensing and registration procedures, and the protection of physical and intellectual property is guaranteed. The regulatory environment should encourage people to set up their own business, to try new business ideas and to take on calculated risks, keeping administrative burdens to the minimum required to support public policy and sustainable development objectives.
- Number of procedures to open a business, number of agencies involved- Number of days, cost to start or close a business- Number of days, cost to register a title to property- Timeliness of dispute resolution mechanism: number of days from filing to judicial decision
- Ease of starting/closing a business - Effectiveness of judicial system
Entrepreneurial skills centre around attitudes (soft skills), such as persistence, networking and self-confidence on the one hand and enabling skills (hard skills) on the other hand, including basic start- up knowledge, business planning, financial literacy and managerial skills. Effective entrepreneurship education policies and programmes focus on developing these entrepreneurial competencies and skills, which are transferable and beneficial in many work contexts. The aim is not only to strengthen the capacity and desire of more individuals to start their own enterprises, but also to develop an entrepreneurial culture in society.
- Share of secondary schools offering entrepreneurship programmes/extra-curricular activities- Share of technical/vocational schools offering entrepreneurship programmes/ extra-curricular activities- Number of annual spin-offs from universities/research programmes
- Availability of entrepreneurship education- Success of higher education institutions in enterprise-relevant research and in commercializing results of research
Entrepreneurship, technology and innovation are mutually supportive. Technology provides entrepreneurs with new tools to improve the efficiency and productivity of their business, or with new platforms on which to build their ventures. In turn, entrepreneurs fuel technological innovation by developing new or improving existing products, services or processes and ensuring commercialization. In developing countries, both angles are important, to varying degrees, depending on the level of local economic development, the rate of adoption of technologies in use internationally, and the innovation capabilities of local firms or research institutions. Taking into account the two-way relationship between technology/innovation and entrepreneurship, table II.4 presents a synopsis.
Inadequate access to finance remains a major obstacle for many aspiring entrepreneurs, particularly in developing countries. As recent studies confirm, the global financing gap for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises remains enormous. Entrepreneurs of all types and sizes require a variety of financial services, including facilities for making deposits and payments as well as accessing credit, equity and guarantees.
- Share of microfinance/SME loans in total business loans- Average value of collateral required for SME loans (per cent of loan)- Total VC invested in SMEs- Credit bureau coverage (per cent of adult population)
Negative socio-cultural perceptions about entrepreneurship can act as significant barriers to enterprise creation and can undermine the impact of policy intervention in support of entrepreneurship. The impact of regulatory reforms in support of start-ups or to facilitate access to finance for entrepreneurs will be less than optimal if large sections of the population do not consider entrepreneurship as a viable and rewarding option, i.e. if they would only consider entrepreneurship if forced, or out of necessity. Fostering an entrepreneurial culture that positively values entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship is a key determinant of the success of an entrepreneurship policy framework and it is also a crucial factor to overcome the culture of dependency – either from governments or aid donors. Table II.6 provides a synopsis.

I dont use this for my eyebrows since my eyebrows are already so full, but i heard castor oil can help grow your eyelashes as well. My eyelashes are very short and no amount of mascara ever helped give the effect of long lashes for me so i eventually gave up and started wearing falsies as part of my everyday routine. Fast forward to 9 days ago, i was looking at random reviews to find new products to try and i came across a blog where the blogger used castor oil to grow out her lashes, i then googled this bizarre trick only to find that its a very popular solution to growing lashes. I had a bottle of castor oil USP (the laxative one) so i started putting it on my upper lashline every night and in the short 9 days ive been using it, my eyelash length has doubled! I decided to test out my new found eyelash length last night by wearing mascara instead of falsies and everyone asked me if i was wearing my falsies! This stuff is amazing and so cheap, i will continue using this everynight!

I got castor oil about a week and a half ago to help grow out my eyebrows and what a difference its made! Ive been using it on my eyebrows and lashes over night, and my eyelashes are already flaring out at the corners and my lower lashes are growing farther in than they used to! Places where I never even had lashes are filling in rapidly! Its crazy! I just use my finger to apply them to lashes and brows after I remove all my makeup, before I go to bed.
I had a few gaps in my eyebrows from over tweezing. My thin, sparse brows are already filling in with thicker, darker new hairs! The only downside is that this oil is VERY sticky and hard to work with. It smells kind of odd as well, but in a strange way, I actually like the smell haha. Many people would probably hate the scent though, so thats something to look out for.
I don't know how it benefits hair yet. I've been massaging a few drops of castor on my scalp the night before a wash. I'll update later if I notice results! :)
EDIT 1/25/15: My eyelashes have gotten so thick! I can't even get my mascara on all of them! Curling my eyelashes used to be a daily necessity, now I don't have to curl them anymore! They haven't been getting much longer recently, I think I've pushed them to get as long as they're gonna get, they have been getting darker though and I am getting more volume as well! I massage this oil into my scalp at least an hour before a wash and I haven't noticed a difference with my hair growth yet.
My skin has been getting so dry recently due to the freezing, winter weather. I've been doing to oil cleansing method along with coconut oil, and my skin feels so silky once I do this!

I bought a bottle of castor oil to try for the oil cleansing method a while ago, but I didn't like it for that so I gave it a shot on my brows after seeing some of the positive reviews on Makeupalley. I use a tiny drop shared across both brows with a quick swipe of my finger, focusing on my poor bald spot in my brows. I've been using it consistently each night for about a month, and unfortunately the results are no different than when I used Vaseline previously.
I have read that moisturizers like Vaseline and castor oil don't help with encouraging actual hair growth but they do prevent breakage of the hair, which leads to the appearance of faster growth. Other people may have different experiences, but for me this is spot on since my brows are a tiny bit longer than they were before. However, in the one spot where I over tweezed and sorely wish I hadn't, there has not been any new growth.
Overall, this didn't work for me in the way I had hoped (stimulating growth in my eyebrow bald spot), but it still was effective at conditioning my brow hairs and preventing breakage. If you have some castor oil (or any other oil/petroleum jelly) around, it may be worth giving a shot but it's not something I would repurchase specifically for this purpose.

I tried castor oil about a year or so ago to grow out my edges and help my poor wimpy little eyebrows but wasn't consistent with it and just couldn't seem to get it to work for me. I was making the mistake of using it plain and no matter how small of an amount you use, if you use it alone it will be too thick and sticky.
Fast forward to about 3 months ago and i started mixing it with avocado oil (1/3 castor oil, 2/3 avocado oil) in a small bottle for removing eye makeup and i started noticing how much thicker and longer my lashes looked. I noticed they were fuller first and now they're longer, to the point that it looks like i'm wearing one coat of mascara even when they're bare. I've started to using around my edges in the front to hopefully grow out my bangs faster. Good stuff and it really does work if you use it sparingly and consistently.

This stuff is the HG to growing your hair out. I use it once every two weeks and it has shown improvement.
Also helped growing my eyebrows out when the girl who waxed them waxed too much off.
I use it also for my eyelashes at night and as an OCM
Definitely an investment you'll enjoy.

I've been using castor oil (Now Solutions brand) for about... hmm.. the 8 months or so? I first got it to help grow back my pixie hair cut faster. Then I remembered that lots and lots of people swear by it for growing back or conditioning their lashes and brows.
I'm of East Asian descent and I have very sparse, thin, stick straight lashes and brows. You know you're playing a dangerous game when you're plucking your brows and you pick ONE wrong brow hair and it's GAME OVER. Now you have a giant bald spot you have to fake being full with makeup til who knows when it will grow back. The thing is, I was quite overzealous with this when I was a young teen and it NEVER GREW BACK. This plucking business is even more dangerous for me because I have such thin, sparse brows. So that is the sad, sad story of how I came to have a giant bald spot on my left eyebrow many years ago.
I really wasn't expecting much of anything when I started putting this on my brows and lashes. Just to let you know, it's not a miracle potion or anything. I really only started using it for extra conditioning properties and figured it wouldn't hurt. I wasn't expecting any growth from it at all, and it really didn't do anything for a long while, and I went about my usual daily business of placing that extra dark brown powder in my bald spot and wrestling with my curler and mascara to try to enhance what I've got (or what I haven't got..?). But then one day I noticed that hey! What the cabbage??? I don't have to put on as much brow powder anymore! And I took a step back and just LOOKED at my brows. HEY! HEY BUDDY, YOU'RE BACK! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE PAST DECADE??
And SO folks, THAT is the story of how my left brow was united with its old buddy, the brow hairs, after a decade long absence. In fact, castor oil brings a little TOO many buddies all over my eyelids in a much shorter amount of time than before I started using it. Now I actually have to spend some quality time with my tweezerman tweezers. Castor oil didn't make my brows or lashes grow any THICKER or anything, but I am perfectly happy for this incredibly cheap remedy because my brow buddies are BACK and I don't mind plucking a some extra hairs from time to time. And I'm pretty sure it's castor oil that is making the difference because I've been using lots of different oils as moisturizer/lash conditioner for years now, and have also tried vaseline as well, and they didn't do anything in terms of growth.
As for my lashes, like I said, it didn't help with volume or anything, but my lashes are DEFINITELY longer and actually visible now with mascara on (I take before and after pictures of everything, particularly for skin improvements). Even my partner noticed, and he never notices /anything/. But take this with a grain of salt because it could also be because I took a break from curling my lashes and putting on mascara every single day for a little while. I just like to use it for conditioning my lashes (my full n soft waterproof mascara I've been using for the past 4 years or so is definitely too strong for my eyes and probably lashes, as it makes my eyes bloodshot and water and burn a bit.. oh well time to make the switch), and don't expect it to give me the fake lash effect.
I really just think this helps you reach your body's natural potential for hair growth, that's been stopped for whatever reason. My pixie cut is reaching my shoulders now too, after 6 months of usage, but I don't want to be too hasty and say that that is castor oil all by itself, because I also used rosemary essential oil as well (which is also supposed to stimulate growth, but it's also INCREDIBLY AMAZINGGGG if you have hair that gets oily really fast like I do - just put several drops mixed with water/aloe on your scalp after showers - it doesn't make your hair greasy AT ALL if it is not diluted rosemary oil.. NOW Foods/Solutions 4 oz bottle on amazon that I bought feels definitely diluted... But Aura Cacia's did not. What a waste of money!). And I also did apple cider vinegar rinses after shampooing. (If you are doing ACV rinses, and if pH of hair things matters to you: you can see on kimmaytube's pH test of commonly used hair things video that only 1/4 tsp of it, which is a TINY amount, in 4 oz. of water = half a cup of water, brings the pH of ACV to 4.0, which is okay and won't eat away your hair or anything, assuming your water has a pH of 7. So yeah, it doesn't take a lot to get good effects is all I'm sayin'.)
Oh, one thing to consider though, I have read that it's extremely dangerous for workers to harvest the castor plant. From what I know, a lot of people since ancient times have made use of this plant for all sorts of things so I'm thinking it should be okay if done safely, but I do not know what the working conditions are for mass-produced castor oil/etc. from the company I order from is like, so I'm opting to go with Mountain Rose Herb's brand next time I order because they seem like they're a lot more aware of these kinds of things. This concerns me a lot, as I wouldn't want others to get hurt or potentially die partly because little ol' me wants to look a little better on this side of the world.
So yeah. In summary, castor oil helped with the growth of my hairs. I hope that helped someone. Yey i actually finished something

Where I come from, they say: Castor oil for Hairs and Lashes (to grow faster), Almond oil (sweet) for Brows and Hairs (to grow new hairs!).. Almond oil is not good on eyes anyway.

Castor oil is 90% ricinoleic acid, which has skin smoothing and moisturizing properties.
I'm not a huge fan of castor oil for the eyebrows. I think it's better for cleansing, though that too has its detriments: https://www.futurederm.com/2011/07/29/does-the-oil-cleansing-method-work-the-friendly-friday-qa-post/
I have mixed feelings about castor oil in general, but since this is a review for using it on the brows, I'll keep it at that. About a month ago I was using this on my brows religiously every night for about 3 weeks, so it's safe to say I've formed a pretty solid opinion.
From my experience it seems like it moreso makes brow hairs longer rather than fuller. The length of my brow hairs is not my issue; they're long enough. My brows aren't extremely sparse, but they're sparse enough to have to use more products than I care to (pencil, powder, and tinted brow gel) to make them look decent. I think it MAYBE could have helped grow back overplucked areas slightly more quickly, but that could just be a placebo effect.
In a nutshell: If your brow hairs are too short, I think castor oil will help. If you want your brows to be more full, you'll probably be disappointed.

I purchased a bottle of this at the Vitamin Shoppe after reading reviews here where people stated this helps to grow eyebrows back. Mine are in rough shape because I ruined them when I was younger. I'm trying to regrow the section from the arch to the end (there aren't many hairs there anymore). I've been using it every night for the last 2 weeks and I will say this definitely works. The scent doesn't bother me. I have acne prone skin/combination, and I haven't broken out at all where I've applied this. I can't wait to see how my eyebrows turn out with continued use. Worth the price, it only cost me five dollars for a large bottle.

The Henderson family of Mesa has quite a history with Mountain View High School. Almost every other year since 1985 a Henderson child has graduated from the Mesa school.
Today will mark the 12th Henderson child to walk across the stage to get that coveted high school diploma.
Ashley Henderson, 18, is the youngest of 13 Henderson kids. (Matthew Henderson, 17, died three years ago before he could graduate.)
But it's not the end of the Henderson lineage at Mountain View. The oldest step-grandchild, Natalie Wall, will graduate next year.
You can expect more Mountain View grads from the Henderson family with 34 grandkids, and two on the way.
Mom Joyce Henderson said she's a little sad to have her last child graduate from the school.
"The hardest part is reaching an end of an era," said Joyce, 59, a stay-at-home mom. "That part of your life is finally over."
Dad Gerald Henderson said he's happy that all his children have graduated from the same school. He said their teachers did an "excellent job."
"We've gone all the way from some of the girls with all A's, to some of the boys calling on graduation day to make sure they could graduate," said Gerald, 59, an accountant at a Mesa firm.
Gerald and Joyce Henderson are high school sweethearts. No, they didn't meet at Mountain View. They met as juniors in Colorado. They have lived in the same Mesa home since 1982.
Some of the Henderson children's spouses also attended Mountain View. Ken, Brad, Tiffany Anderson, Jared and Summer Gardner all married Mountain View Toros.
Despite dislocating her shoulder at Tyler's 2000 graduation, 90-year-old grandma Evelyn Henderson will be with the rest of the family at Ashley's graduation.
The family will sit where they always sit at graduation: in the football field's end zone.
Ashley, who has been singing since the ninth grade, will perform at the graduation. Ken and Brad will take pictures.
With Henderson kids at the school since the 1980s, there are plenty of crossovers.
Ashley's economics teacher graduated with Tyler, and her seminary teacher went to school with Summer and Jared. (The family is active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.)
Mountain View holds many memories for the Henderson family: some good, some bad.
David remembers getting his first speeding ticket coming back from lunch one day. He was on the junior varsity and varsity football teams.
Ken was the photo editor of the yearbook and self-proclaimed "class prankster."
Brad was the photographer for the yearbook his junior and senior years and photo editor his senior year.
Tiffany got her degree in education and was a substitute teacher at Mountain View for two or three days while Summer was attending the school.
"I remember my senior year (1998) when I was on yearbook," Mandy Lunt said. "There was a storage room that had old yearbooks in it. I took great pride in telling everyone that they could get any book from 1983 and on and they would find someone from my family in it."
The Henderson kids and their Mountain View graduation years:
1985: David, 39, of Provo, Utah, a mortgage broker. Married with three kids.
1987: Tracy Pezzi, 37, of Queen Creek, a parttime restaurant server. Married with five kids.
1988: Ken, 36, of Mesa, co-owner of a windowcleaning business. Divorced with six kids.
1990: Brad, 35, of Mesa, co-owner of the window-cleaning business with Ken. Married with five kids.
1991: Tiffany Anderson, 33, of Mesa, a preschool teacher. Married with five kids, with one on the way.
1993: Sabrina Wall, 32, of Mesa, a stay-athome mom. Married with five kids.
1995: Jared, 30, of Queen Creek, a flower deliverer. Married with two kids.
1996: Summer Gardner, 28, of Mesa, a stay-at-home mom. Married with one child and one on the way.
1998: Amanda "Mandy" Lunt, 27, of Queen Creek, a stayat-home mom. Married with two kids.
2000: Tyler, 24, of Mesa, a QuikTrip manager in training. Single.
2002: Bryce, 22, of Mesa, an Arizona State University student and bank teller. Engaged.
2007: Ashley, 18, of Mesa, plans to major in business and wants to open a spa/salon. Single.

Here, regular old white pumpkins were spray painted stems and all and placed among white ceramic vessels.
This is utterly modern through and through. You've got the classic mod pairing of black and white, with the gorgeous white "Silver Moon" pumpkins lining each side of the staircase. The key to make this look so fresh and dramatic is that all the pumpkins are the same size; the symmetry and simplicity create quite a statement for a fall event.
Here, flat matte craft paint was used to coat regular orange pumpkins. We are calling these "ghost pumpkins." Paired with the wispy white flags overhead, this is perfect for a sophisticated tablescape or centerpiece.
A mix of white and sage-green pumpkins bring an organic feel into an otherwise formal kitchen corner. The mix of pumpkins still feels chic, mainly because there is no orange to be found!
A nursery needs a touch of autumn too! Here, two pumpkins of the "Lil Pump" variety are placed amongst white, shabby chic furnishings. The overall effect is quite tranquil.
These "Silver Moon" pumpkins are so nice layered together in the middle of a dinner table. The cream and white color scheme is such a tasteful take on autumnal dining.
Orange pumpkins on this mantel would lessen the elegance of this beige-and-white mantel arrangement. Instead, these mini pumpkins resemble creamware, providing just enough of a farm-to-home feel.
