1979-2019: 40 years of European elections
This year's elections coincide with the 40th anniversary of the first elections to the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage (7-10th June, 1979) – an historic event marking both an ending and a fundamental starting point for the whole European history and for the construction of a Europe for citizens. Today we must face a historical turning point for our common history which leads us to hold up a second and take a look back. Indeed, we will analyse some important historical milestones of our history in order to understand how the EU works today. Our primary objective will be to reflect on the impact of the European Parliament, the heart of European representative democracy. We will show how the European Parliament can reflect the dreams of the founding fathers that were holding Europe together to favour the construction of a free, united, democratic and supranational Europe.
Between European reconstruction and integration process (1946-1979)
The devastating impact of two world wars led Europeans to join forces to figure a way to a European reconstruction aimed at forever erasing the internal long-standing divisions of the continent and reshape the future of a war-torn Europe.
The debate for an active participation of European citizens began between the end of the '40s and the beginning of the '50s. On 5 May 1949, in the wake of the Congress of Europe in The Hague (1948), the Council of Europe was solemnly created – an intergovernmental organization endowed with a Parliamentary Assembly working at an inter-state level.
With the Schumann Declaration of 9 May 1950, the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was established with the aim of fixing prices and managing the energy reserves and production quantities of the time at the Community level. Already endowed with a High Authority operating on a supranational level, the internal propulsive thrust of the federalists contributed substantially to establishing a legislative assembly thereafter. Effectively, even the ECSC was endowed with an Assembly similar to the Council of Europe, albeit with exclusively consultative powers and without the possibility to legislate.
In 1957, the Treaty of Rome established the EEC (European Economic Community) and officially opened the debate for the creation of a "Common Assembly" and an elective system by universal suffrage.
On 19 March 1958, the new assembly held its constitutive session in Strasbourg under the name of "European Parliamentary Assembly". Through the latter, A "Working Group for the European elections" was created and assigned the Belgian MEP Fernand Dehousse as chair. The new working group earnestly worked to reach an agreement and facilitate the emergence of direct European elections.
In 1962, there was a turning point when the institution was renamed "European Parliament", marking one step further both in terms of supranational and principles of democratic representation of European citizens in the institutions.
During the 1970s, the Luxembourg Treaty (1970) and the Brussels Treaty (1975) increased the competences of the European Parliament, with new powers of budgetary controls. The new scope of action was reinforced by a meeting held in 1974 in Paris where European leaders agreed on implementing the election process of the Parliament by universal suffrage.
In 1975, a new project was drafted by the Dutch socialist Patijin and became effective thanks to an act issued by the Council of Ministers in 1976. Indeed, the latter established further provisional measures to hold free European elections by universal suffrage.
Between 7-10th June 1979, citizens with voting rights from 9 different European countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) voted to elect their first president of the European Parliament. In 1979, in its first session, the new Parliament elected Simone Veil, a French woman of Jewish origin. Veil was a survivor of Auschwitz.
European electoral heritage since 1979
"Over time, the institution, whose members have been directly elected since 1979, has undergone deep changes: from an assembly with appointed members to an elected parliament which is recognised as a political agenda-setter of the European Union". From a simple advisory body in 1962, today it has become a fundamental institution which affects the lives of some 500 million European citizens. This is the result of a long-standing and unfinished path designed to extend the democratic powers of the European Union.
The Maastricht Treaty (1992) introduced the co-decision procedure in certain areas of legislation and marked "the beginning of Parliament's metamorphosis into the role of co-legislator". The Treaty of Amsterdam (1997) "further increased the powers of the European Parliament to most areas of legislation and reformed the co-decision procedure, placing Parliament as co-legislator on an equal footing with the Council". Finally, with the Lisbon Treaty (2007), new powers were transferred to Parliament, including: 1) the approval of the President of the EU Council; 2) legislative, budgetary and political supervisory powers; 3) a new consultative basis and 4) the power to elect the President of the European Commission.
The number of MEPs has always been proportional to the number of European citizens and has increased over the course of time. Our current European Parliament consists of 751 members. However, if in the end the United Kingdom won't take part in the upcoming EU elections, the European Parliament should shrink from 751 to 705 MEPs.
Around 350 million European citizens will have the right to go to the polls in May 2019 and decide the fate of the European Union for the next five years.

Vitamin C has numerous health benefits. CHERRY C is made specifically for two of these: To protect nerve cells and boost the immune system.
Vitamin C helps neutralize toxic byproducts in the cells' tiny "powerhouses" called mitochondria. These produce the body's energy and also generate most of the body's free radicals as toxic by-products. Damage caused by free radicals to the mitochondria in brain cells can trigger the development of cognitive problems.
Vitamin C helps the body mount a vigorous defense against bacteria and viruses. It boosts your body's NK (Natural Killer) cells, which have been part of your immune system from birth. NK cells recognize any cell that does not belong to your body—bacteria, viruses, even your own cells that have mutated by infection or other changes—and neutralize it. Vitamin C increases both the number of NK cells and their potency.
Animals (with a few exceptions) make their own vitamin C. Human bodies lack an enzyme that converts blood sugar to vitamin C. A good rule of thumb is to take vitamin C twice per day. Start with one capsule at a time and increase the dose gradually.
CHERRY C contains 750 mg of vitamin C from ascorbic acid and extracts from tart cherry and acerola cherries (natural sources of vitamin C).

The terms fear and courage played a major role in the life experience of Tim O'Brien. Like most other young males who just graduated college, in 1968 after graduating from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, he sought different opportunities in hopes of becoming independent and gaining a career. Before these hopes of opportunity are realized, however, he receives notice that he has been drafted to the Vietnam War. He acknowledges the tragedies that may occur in war, and fears for his life. Generally courage is a way of overcoming fear. However, in O'Brien's supreme perspective, he reveals his extreme fear of courage. He finds himself in a "moral emergency" where he must analyze his perception of courage in order to make such a critical decision (901).
After his analysis, he felt that as much as he feared loosing his life in war, he couldn;t reveal that reason for not wanting to go to war to avoid any type of humiliation. He doubted his life if he pursued on with the process of war and therefore made excuses for himself to stay out. Because O'Brien didn't accept the challenge to follow his heart, he took the easy way out and went to war. His lack of courage forced him to live under the circumstance of not believing in him and they;re of continuing by facing the results of his fear of war. O'Brien compared his thoughts of fear and courage and believed that he had the potential to be full of courage, but does not realize the effort he must contribute. He doesn't realize that becoming independent is process he must go through in order to make a difference and solve his problems. He doesn't want to attend war because he fears it, what in the world can he do? Many can answer what they could do but O'Brien was in doubt of what he could do for himself in order to be out of such of a dilemma.

What lies behind Mark Beaumont's Cycle Africa World Record?
Perthshire cyclist and adventurer Mark Beaumont has set a new world record after cycling from Cape Town to Cairo in 42 days, beating the previous record of 59 days. He was met at the finishing line by his family. In this interview, conducted at the Keswick Mountain Festival, Mark talked to me about where his drive to adventure comes from, how his parents shaped and view his career as an adventurer, and what drives him to challenge himself and break world records…
Congratulations @MrMarkBeaumont on your new world record, from all your friends at Weir. #AfricaSolo pic.twitter.com/tDcp9xjift
— The Weir Group (@weirgroup) May 22, 2015
A brand new chapter is written
The softly spoken Mark Beaumont describes his adventures as 'chapters' in his life. And if life is a book, then his is definitely more of a page turner than mine. In 2008 he cycled around the world and broke the Guinness world Record for the fastest circumnavigation by bike. He followed this up by cycling across the Americas from Anchorage to Tierra del Fuego. He then tackled the ocean. In 2011 he was a crew member on an arctic expedition where the team became the first to reach a certified polar position by rowing boat. There was then an ill fated attempt to grab the record of fastest crossing of the mid Atlantic by ocean rowing boat. Last year he followed the Queen's Olympic Baton Relay around 70 Commonwealth Nations in the run up to Glasgow 2014. In between he has done a fair bit of wild swimming, climbing and mountaineering, and now – #africasolo – a pedal across Africa which he describes as the toughest in his life.
Talking about adventure
When I met him some time ago, he was at Keswick Mountain Festival talking about some of these chapters. I interviewed him before he went on stage, to ask him how it all began and how much support he got from his family in the early stages. He described a happy opening to his life story.
"I was home schooled in rural Perthshire." he told me. "I didn't go to school till I was 11 and I was encouraged, especially by Mum, to spend a lot of time working and playing on the farm."
His 'play' involved exploring, cycling, skiing, climbing and riding a pony and there was plenty of time to think and dream and plot.
"I was 11 years old when I first came up with the idea of going on a journey and that journey was inspired by reading in a newspaper about a guy who had done John O Groats to Lands End. I had no idea how far that was or what it really involved, but it sounded like a great adventure so I got the car atlas out and got a highlighter pen and tried to find the roads."
His mum and dad suggested he might try something slightly smaller first and he was 12 years old when he pedalled across Scotland – from Dundee to Oban with a friend. And he was 15 when he finally got around to doing end to end on his first solo cycle. A time when some teens are just getting their first bike.
"I thought 'If I could spend my 20's taking on my big dreams of adventure then there's plenty of time to get an office job later.'" – Mark Beaumont
He got the adventuring habit
From there he had the adventuring bug and there was no going back.
"Through my teenage year and at University I took on bigger and bigger trips, each time coming back and imagining where I could go next. I was about half way through University at Glasgow and heading into a finance career but I had all these ambitions in the adventure world. These two paths didn't tally up anywhere so I had to make a quite clear call where I would go. I knew if I didn't start big then I wouldn't be given a chance to continue to make a career out of it. So the biggest dream came first. Could I break the world record for cycling around the world?"
And of course, he did. He took 81 days off it. He started to make a career sharing his adventures with people through BBC TV, but it's the record that people still associate him with.
"The world record has been broken many times now but I spend a lot of time correcting people who still think I've got it. It's one of these things that it's now a coveted, really quite fast record. I don't think I could get close to the record now." – Mark Beaumont
The passion can make a living
Mark's father was a bit more traditional and took more persuading that his choice of career was sensible.
"He was a farmer and because I got good grades and went to Uni to study economics and politics he thought it was a waste to not go into the best possible career. He loves what I do now but initially we didn't see eye to eye because he thought I was dropping out to pursue a career in adventure. In actual fact I would argue that if you put enough passion into these things you can certainly make a good career and a living. That's the hard thing to see when you set out; how you're actually going to turn your interest and your hobby into a viable career."
"I spent my 20's definitely being an adventurer. I would never call myself an explorer because I haven't gone many places where other people haven't, but I've certainly adventured in many different ways." – Mark Beaumont
What is adventure?
As he is so clearly driven by adventure I asked him about his definition of it.
"It's not being constrained by habit. It's surprising yourself. It's trying something each day which pushes your comfort zone. That's adventure." he replied, after pausing for a moment to think.
Mark paused regularly, answering my questions in a thoughtful, measured way. He may adventure at a mindblowing pace but life outside the 'fastests and firsts' is clearly less of a sprint. And he admits his pace and world record goals are a good distraction against loneliness and homesickness.
"I admire people like Al Humphries who have nomadically travelled. I would be a rubbish nomadic traveller. I really need a very clear focus and I'm definitely inspired by first and fastest so the idea of exploring the world for that sake alone has never really appealed. I go out with a very clear idea and then I've got to break that down each day to get through the miles."
Mark may have broken many records young but he still has a few chapters left to write in his story.
"There are many expeditions I'd like to try. It's a matter of time. People assume I'm a cyclist but I do like trying my hand and different adventures."
"It is the adventure that underlies it all as opposed to a single sport. But I'll always be known as that guy that cycles around the world." – Mark Beaumont
The joys of wild cycling
Our conversation turned to the joys of cycle camping. I asked him how much he liked that aspect of his travels. "Quite often my expeditions take months and months and living wild is part of it," he replied.
"Some of my favourite memories from expeditions are waking up and rolling your sleeping roll up. Mount McKinley and Alaska when it's minus 35 outside and your contact lenses freeze by the time you lift them up to your eye. It's hard to get going but ultimately an incredibly vast beautiful landscape. Some of my favourite cycling landscapes are waking up pre-dawn in Texas in winter and literally shaking the frost of the tent and pedalling out an hour before dawn and you can hear coyotes calling across the grasslands and you are just in these incredible wildernesses."
It was time to say goodbye as he had a date with some adventure enthusiasts. Not to break a world record but talk about it. But I for the sense that before too long he'd be writing another chapter of his incredible life story. And now he has.
Well done Mark on becoming the fastest once again!

Good Advice for New North Metro Denver Homeowners
When you're a renter, there are a lot of details you might overlook. Given how much is out of your control about the condition or landscaping around your apartment complex or rented home, you may not be greatly interested in certain aspects of the house.
All of that changes when the home is your own investment. With your money and your safety on the line 24/7, you'll need to pay attention to some areas which renters take for granted. Keep these few tips in mind and you'll avoid several common homeowner mistakes to help you with your North Metro Denver home.
1. Call 811 before digging up the yard. In case your are planning a landscaping project with the great weather we have had those who want to plant their own food or dig in a nice water feature. The only problem? There could be pipes, power, and telecom cables underneath your soil. Before you rent the backhoe, call 811, a national hotline dedicated to dig safety. By calling 811 first, all of your local utility providers will get the heads-up to come out and mark all of the areas you'll need to avoid when digging.
2. Find your water main's shut-off valve. In winter time a pipe could burst and you don't know where to turn off the water to your property, a simple leak can turn into a catastrophic amount of water damage. Make sure you know where your shut-off valve is located and that you have the tools you need handy to cut off the flow should an accident happen. (The same is true for those of you with natural gas connections. Special tools can be used to shut off the gas in an emergency.)
3.Before you drill, use a stud-finder. For less than $30, you can get an idea whether or not you're about to drill yourself a hole into power conduit, plumbing, or ductwork. Also, you'll want to be sure the art or shelves you hang in your home has a firm grip and doesn't come crashing down with the drywall.
4.Check your insulation depth. You know that funny looking door in your ceiling? It leads to the attic or crawlspace. Inside, you'll want to make sure you have insulation deep enough to trap your heat and keep your cool. Most insulation needs to be 12 to 16 inches deep, depending on the quality of the insulation. You can even hire companies to "blow in" the additional insulation you need. Conserve energy with this simple move.
5.Checking your foundation. You want your soil to slope away from the house at least 6 or so inches over 10 – 12 feet. This prevents water from pooling at the foundation, which can lead to costly cracks and repair.

Todays free stuff!
I picked up some tomato sauce from hemköp today (which was free after using a 10kr coupon) as well as some peanut butter from Green Choice for which I had a voucher from an earlier giveaway. Those single packaged peanut butter treats where really difficult to find!
I also used a coupon from yet another giveaway by Fazer which allowed me to get one of those chocolates for free.

Boggabri CBD benefits from Drought Communities Program
Boggabri's CBD has received a face-lift thanks to more than $80,000 in drought funding.
Seven businesses in Merton Street have been spruced up in recent weeks by Narrabri Shire Council, which received funding under the Drought Communities Program to update and repair facades and awnings in the shire.
It was a godsend for the Commercial Hotel's new owners, Britt and David Poole, who said the historic building "hadn't been given any serious love for a long time".
Read also:
Mrs Poole said the pub was "in a state of disrepair" and was "such a monumental undertaking" that they hadn't known where to start, so the opportunity to apply for the funding through the council was well and truly welcome.
"When the ladies told me I got the grant, I started crying. It was what I'd imagine it would be like winning the lotto," she said.
"It gave me the direction that I really needed to get the ball rolling and now that it is rolling, it's making it easier to make calls on what to do next."
Hopefully, with the whole town looking so much brighter, it might bring more people into town.Patricia Crawford, IGA manager
The Pooles had to address some structural issues before the painting could start, but now all of the work is complete and Mrs Poole "could not be happier".
"I'm over the moon ... Everyone's commenting on how fantastic it looks. People who have lived here for 40 years said it's never been painted in that time.
"The building exterior needed so much attention. I can understand why it wouldn't have been off-putting for people to enter. Now it looks so much more inviting."
Mrs Poole said they have "big plans" for the pub but in the meantime will "tick away at the main things".
"It's a beautiful building and it's got such potential," she said.
The town's IGA was also given a new lease of life with the fresh paint job complementing new signage and panelling.
Manager Patricia Crawford said the owner had already started rejuvenating the store's facade when the drought funding became available.
"It just finished it all off and made it look really spectacular," she said.
"It was good timing and we're getting very positive comments on it. Not just our shop but the pub; how good everything looks.
"Hopefully, with the whole town looking so much brighter, it might bring more people into town."
Boggabri Business and Community Progress Association's John Shaw said it had been 30 years since some of the businesses had been freshened up.
"It's certainly made a great difference and it will give a great lift to the Boggabri," he said.
"I think everyone's going to be extremely happy to have been involved in these processes."

Married and civil partnered couples in England and Wales will no longer have to blame each other for the end of their relationship, with the introduction of no-fault divorce due to become law soon.
The existing system can cause unnecessary conflict between the separating couple and any children they have. Finding fault, and combing through evidence of that fault, is both emotionally draining and time-consuming, and unsurprisingly can affect family life. A new bill is currently being tabled in the House of Commons to change this.
Currently there are five different reasons, or 'facts', you can cite in a divorce case:
- Adultery
- Behaviour ('the respondent has behaved in such a way that the petitioner cannot reasonably be expected to live with the respondent')
- Desertion
- Two years' separation (with both parties consenting to divorce)
- Five years' separation
The court then has to examine the evidence of reported conduct or separation. With the no-fault option, couples would have the autonomy to decide their relationship has broken down irrevocably. The Law Society is in favour of this change.
Critics may argue this could lead to partners divorcing before they have worked on their difficulties and sought help, but this is not about rushing people towards the decision to stay together or separate. It is about reducing the stress, time and costs after that decision has been made.
At the moment one half of the couple can also contest the divorce, which is rare, but can be used as a tactic by abusers to exert control. By also removing the opportunity to contest the divorce, lawmakers could potentially help abused partners escape their abusers quicker, and cause less trauma in the process.
Speaking on the changes to be made, Justice Secretary David Gauke said, "It cannot be right that our outdated law creates or increases conflict between divorcing couples."
The change in the law was brought about after a public consultation, involving divorcees, lawyers and expert charities including Coalition for Marriage, Families Need Fathers, Stonewall and Women's Aid.

Many employers are unsure how to prepare their businesses for the Affordable Health Care Act's employer mandate that will take effect in 2015. Although 2015 seems far away, Healthcare and Life Sciences Partner Chris Schwing says it's a lot of information for a nonexpert to understand.
"It's massive, and so it's something you need to consult with somebody on — an attorney or someone who has an area of expertise on this," Ms. Schwing said.

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money online, where both marketer and the merchant want to prosper together by making as many sales as possible. However, as an affiliate, you must find the perfect products/ services for your own audience.

It may not be always possible for you to find the individual products and join the affiliate programs in case they are not associated with any network. However, it may be possible that the merchant would like to contact you in case they see you are writing quality affiliate reviews of other products.
So it is very important that you provide them the option to get in touch. WPForms Lite is a great WordPress contact form plugin and is the best alternative to the popular Contact Form 7. With this, you can create contact forms absolutely free of cost.
These are the 5 best WordPress plugins for affiliate marketers. All these free WordPress affiliate plugins will help you to maximize your earning potential.

Haunt Season set to Erupt on Friday the 13th
After a lot of thought it has been decided that we will strike forth tonight and kick off the haunt season this Friday the 13th with visits to Darksyde Acres and Jackson's Underworld.
The wild shenanigans of the cast at Darksyde have made it one of our favorites in recent years and it is with great excitement and anticipation that we return for another salacious adventure on 18+ up night! Jackson's Underworld however is a different story altogether — when we visited here during their inaugural 2009 season we were horribly disappointed. I'm a firm believer in second chances and I sincerely hope that the stories of vast improvement of which I've read and been told don't turn out to be urban legends.
The weather couldn't be any more perfect tonight in Michigan as we set out upon another season of screams!

Contact us at : firstname.lastname@example.com General Assembly Our General Assembly Meeting took place on June 21st. We reported on the activities carried out during the 2015-2016 academic year, and started planning the program for 2016-2017. It was agreed that this Summer will be spent focusing on two tasks: preparing several grant applications in order to sustain our work, as well as writing scientific articles. Research team members from both academic and community sectors will be asked to get involved in the development of these documents. ACFAS Conference Proceedings A publication project of the papers delivered at our ACFAS conference last May, "Cultures du témoignage (sexualités) et changement social", is taking shape. The French-language publisher, Presses de l'Université du Québec (PUQ) has shown an interest in this project. We invite speakers to submit a digital copy of your paper no later than August 1st 2016to Maria Nengeh Mensah. It can consist of the text you presented orally at the conference or a revision of said text for publication. The idea is to be able to submit the first draft of the manuscript to the publisher by the end of the summer. A publication timeline may be sent out later on. If you have any questions regarding this project please contact Maria Nengeh Mensah. Upcoming events in the fall September 9, 2016 Seminar on « Autopornography » with Simon Corneau, Julie Lavigne and Tom Waugh.

December 2016 Seminar on « Body Politics, Language Politics: Deafness and Intersexualities in Dialogue » with Véro Leduc and Janik Bastien Charlebois. Words aren't merely words; they shape our relationship to the world. What are the politics of language in our testimonial cultures?

Stella On June 8th 2016, Stella, l'amie de Maimie launched a new campaign « Against Exploitation, Against Prohibition: For the Rights of Sex Workers, the Right to Work ». This campaign draws attention to the reality and impacts of the repression and criminal prohibition of sex work. Like all of Stella's work in the past 21 years, the campaign highlights the need to combat abusive working conditions rather than sex work itself. At the heart of this struggle id the need to repeal repressive laws that criminalize sex work and put sex workers at risk. Featured testimonial Our featured testimonial is a poetic text written by an intersex individual that denounces injustice and discrimination. Read more… In Brief Cultures du témoignage (sexualités) et changement social : Quelles pratiques, quels usages, quelles retombées? – Conference Summary On May 9th, 10th and 11th was held our 601 colloquium during the 84th ACFAS Congress. This three-day conference was aimed at people whose work, research or studies relate to the practices, uses and benefits of public testimonials as an intervention strategy in today's society. In total, more than 150 people attended the colloquium; a multidisciplinary and interactive public, consisting of students, professors, activists, researchers and community organizations. On average, there were 50 people in attendance every day, a real success! Scientifically, the conference was an opportunity to mobilize knowledge relating to the use of testimonials in contemporary sexual communities: people who identify as lesbians, gays, bisexuals and queer, trans and intersexe people, people living with HIV/AIDS, people with sex work experience and autopornography, victims of sexual assault. We also had the chance to hear other "community voices", those of deaf people, the hearers of voices and young women who go to Maison Passages. The round tables, communications and workshops were all equally challenging. We exposed the theoretical and methodological foundations of the testimonial cultures, and the many powers and pleasures that drive them. Thank you to all the speakers! In terms of networking, the conference brought together the participants during two Cocktail-events, designed to socialize and initiate informal contacts. One of these, held Monday, May 9th at the Bistro de la cinémathèque québécoise, was organized in collaboration with the Coalition Plus and was an opportunity to announce the winner of the Emerging HIV/AIDS Community-Based Researcher Award. Congratulations to Nora Burke! For the rest, a big thank you to Mariève Beauchemin and the team for two memorable evenings. The full conference program (in French only) Seminar on transidentities and the media The seminar facilitated by our international guest Karine Espineira, co-founder of the Transidentities Observatory (France) went well. She talked about her extensive media corpus and analysis of how trans people have been represented between 1930 and 2010. The participants showed great interest in the popular representations of trans people over the decades, which led to rich discussions on the scale and scope of this study. Watch the seminarPresentation in Paris In May, Maria Nengeh Mensah delivered a lecture entitled « The practices of public testimonials by sexual communities: evolution and challenges of a renewed feminist intervention strategy » during a symposium on Gender and Social Intervention in Paris. This communication aimed to promote the value of community-university partnerships like the one we've been experiencing since 2010. Team news We want to say thank you to Mariève Beachemin for the logistic coordination of our colloquium, Cultures du témoignage (sexualités) et changement social : Quelles pratiques? Quels usages? Quelles retombées?, at ACFAS. The team wishes you great success in your future projects. Laurence Gagnon recently joined the team of research assistants to support Jamie Goodyear in the organization of the exhibition « Témoigner pour agir » taking place late fall 2017. Our research assistants will continue their work during the summer. They will also take some time to rest. Gabriel Giroux will enjoy summer in Montreal.

Babka is a yeast loaf (or cake) that's filled with chocolate and/or cinnamon. Babka is an Eastern European Jewish traditional dish. I have to admit, I was so scared that I was not going to be able to make a babka because of the eggs in the typical recipes. But, thanks to Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer, I was able to make this easy vegan chocolate babka!
I've always thought that making babka would be extremely difficult. Just by looking at it, it seems like it would be difficult to make. It wasn't until I watched this video on Youtube that made me realize that I could do it myself! One thing that I've learned about bread is that it takes patience! I allowed the dough to sit in the fridge for 24 hours! Whenever I bake or cook anything, I always rush! When it comes to making this easy vegan chocolate babka, you have to be patient.
You can't just make the dough and then have the babka in an hour! It takes time! If you have patience and the ingredients… get ready! You're going to wow your family if you make this easy vegan chocolate babka.
How to make an easy vegan chocolate babka:
I am amazed at the things you can do with Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer. The fact that I can make anything (except scrambled eggs or poached eggs, haha) with the egg replacer is amazing. If you have this egg replacer, you don't need to make a flax or chia egg! This gets the job done.
First off, this isn't a gluten free recipe. For this recipe, I had used King Arthur's Bread Flour. I didn't want to take a risk by using a different type of flour for this babka. This was my first time making this bread and I wanted it to be perfect. If you do not have bread flour, try using spelt flour or all purpose flour. Eventually, I am going to try to make a babka with a blend of almond flour and coconut flour. For now, this recipe is simple and basic.
Next, you have to use Earth Balance's Vegan Butter. Or, any vegan butter in general. I don't think your bread will be as soft as mine came out to be without using butter. I had used 10 tablespoons of the butter!
More tips for making vegan chocolate babka:
Most importantly, I know that I always use monk fruit sugar instead of granulated sugar in my recipes! But, I had used granulated sugar in this recipe because I wanted it to be perfect. Also, I didn't use date or coconut sugar because I wanted the bread to not be too brown!
It should be noted that you should make this bread using a stand mixer! I'm sure that you can get the job done making bread the old fashioned way. I had the bread in the stand mixer mixing for around 10 minutes to make sure there were no lumps and the ingredients blended nicely.
Additionally, I want to mention that I'm not sure if you can make this easy vegan chocolate babka without yeast. I believe the texture from this bread came from the yeast mainly. You may be able to get the job done without yeast. If you do, please let me know.
Another thing I want to mention is that for the filling I made a mix from chocolate chunks, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and butter. If you don't want to do this, feel free to use Nutella! I think that Nutella would be delicious in this recipe.
What to use as a vegan egg wash:
It's important to mention that I got the soft texture on this babka from making a sugar syrup and spraying with avocado oil before baking. Since it is quite difficult to make a vegan egg wash, I sprayed the bread with avocado oil. I know some vegan bakers that have said that they use milk in place of the egg wash. I thought that brushing the babka with milk would change the taste of the bread. There's a possibility that you can use a combination of corn syrup with a little bit of water, but I haven't tried that yet. I saw a couple of vegans on food blogs recommend that for baking.
Tips for making vegan bread:
Remember that vegan baking is not that difficult. The main thing that you are replacing is eggs and dairy milk due to the fact that they're not vegan. I have baked a lot of vegan recipes and honestly, I enjoy them more than the non vegan recipes. I have a lot of fun experimenting with the ways to make different desserts. Such as, using flax or chia eggs, or using chickpea water "aquafaba" as egg/to make meringue.
Another thing I want to mention is that it takes time to learn what combinations work and what combinations don't work. I tried to make a vegan cake with oat flour for christ's sake. It turned into a pie. I should have taken pictures. It was terrible, just terrible. There has been a couple of times that I was going to stop baking because of some failures. Failure is necessary to grow as a person. Allow yourself to a fail a few times when baking! As a result of giving yourself time to grow as a baker, you'll end up so proud of yourself for continuing! Time and patience is everything.
Above all of the advice given here in this post, you need to know that you have to measure your ingredients. Since I began baking, I've realized that when it comes to baking, you have to weigh everything out. Due to the fact it is so easy to mess up when it comes to baking, I always measure things out beforehand. This helps me know if I have all of the ingredients on hand.
Don't want to make the other half of this babka?
Make this Chocolate Syrup Cake! It's just as good and takes a little less time due to just using chocolate syrup as a filling.
Easy Vegan Chocolate Babka
For The Bread:
- 3 1/3 cup King Arthur's Bread Flour
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 tsp Kosher Salt
- 3 tsp Instant Yeast
- 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Warm Water (90 degrees F)
- 3 Egg Replacers From Bob's Red Mill
- 10 tbsp Earth Balance Vegan Butter, softened
- All Purpose Flour, for dusting
- Avocado Oil, for spraying
For The Chocolate Filling
- 1 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks
- 1/2 cup Earth Balance Vegan Butter
- 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
For The Sugar Syrup
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/3 cup Water
For the bread:
- Begin by adding the bread flour, granulated sugar, and salt to a stand mixer bowl. Stir this mixture until the ingredients are well combined.
- In a cup or a bowl, add warm water, 1 tsp of sugar, and yeast. Allow the yeast to proof for 8 minutes. Set aside. During this time, prepare your vegan egg replacers.
- Once your yeast mixture has set, add your yeast mixture to the stand mixer and begin to mix on level 3. Add one vegan egg at a time. Continue to mix until a dough forms. Once a dough has formed, add in one tbsp of butter at a time.
- Continue to mix the dough in the stand mixer for around 10 minutes. There should be no lumps in the dough and all of the butter should be submerged. Once there are no lumps in the dough and the dough is soft, oil a bowl and add your dough. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and place in the fridge for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, remove from the fridge and allow to sit out in room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- Spray a bread loaf pan with avocado oil cooking spray and 1 tbsp of flour. Using a paper towel, wipe the excess flour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- After preheating the oven, prepare the chocolate filling.
- After 20-30 minutes, flour a surface and place your dough onto the surface. Cut the dough in half using a bench scraper. Cover the other half of the dough with cling wrap and then place it back in the fridge. Lightly shape your dough into a disk and then roll it out into a flatter rounder shape (as if you're making cinnamon rolls)
- Add your chocolate mixture to the dough, leaving an inch border around the edges of the dough. Once the chocolate has been placed on the dough, brush the edges of the dough (all around) with water.
- From the bottom up, tightly roll from the bottom to the top. Once you've got a jelly roll type shape, push the edges inward. Place the dough into the freezer or the fridge and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half using a sharp knife or bench scraper. Slice individual lines through the dough. Then proceed to take one end of the two rolls that you have, pinch them together, and then fold them over one another like a braid back and forth until you reach the end. Pinch the other end. Place into the loaf pan. Cover and place into the microwave for 30 minutes to rise some more.
- After 30 minutes, remove from the microwave and spray with the avocado oil. While the babka is baking, prepare the sugar syrup. Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove from oven and brush with the sugar syrup immediately. Allow the bread to cool completely before cutting.
For the filling:
- Add a 1/2 cup of butter to a sauce pan over low heat. Allow the butter to melt and then add the chocolate chunks. Once the chocolate has melted completely, add in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Stir this mixture until the sugar and powder has dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the sugar syrup:
- Add 1/3 cup of water and 1/3 cup white sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Allow this mixture to simmer slightly and then remove from the heat.

Down to the Morgan Library I bat-flew one afternoon to pay homage to Edgar Allan Poe, the martyred saint of literary hacks, tattered soul of Baltimore, and interior decorator of the funeral parlor of American Goth, rich in velvet drapings and "blood-bedewed halls." As the Morgan Library exhibition, "Edgar Allan Poe: Terror of the Soul," reminded us, Poe was scorned in his time as a dissolute, disreputable vagabond of letters—a reputation that dogged him in posterity for decades—but his spirit had the last bitter laugh. High-low culture is unimaginable without Poe's clammy imprint. His fermented brain fathered or advanced nearly every genre that we modern ghouls take for granted: the detective story ("The Murders in the Rue Morgue"), the tale of terror ("The Black Cat," "The Premature Burial"), the psychological allegory ("The Fall of the House of Usher"), the theater of cruelty now often considered torture porn ("The Pit and the Pendulum"), and cosmological bop (Eureka: A Prose Poem). Others came before and others came after—such as H. P. Lovecraft, who had an immense, depth-charge ripple effect with such visionary upheavals as "The Call of Cthulhu"—but Poe is the tormented godhead from which so much sprang: the inseminator of everything from Val Lewton movies to EC Comics (which are enjoying a posthumous boom in handsome, gruesome reissues), Charles Addams cartoons to French Symbolist poetry, Stephen King novels to the mortician touch and signature mustache of fellow Baltimorean John Waters. Edgar Allan Poe is to the spirit of Halloween what Charles Dickens was to the creation of Christmas as we know it, and Halloween, once mostly a kiddie-costume outing for candy and pranks, has grown into the premier American pagan holiday, an ever mushrooming merchandising bonanza (an estimated $7 billion in sales for 2013) that mirrors how the country has gone completely horror-mad. And not just this country. According to The New York Times, Britain has let the Guy Fawkes mask slip in favor of Halloween full-body leotards, because, as we all know, Brits are weird.
Horror as a boo dispenser used to occupy the novelty store of paperback fiction and B-movie, double-bill, drive-in entertainment, the kitsch department where Vincent Price cultivated his vowels like orchids in one Roger Corman–directed cheapie after another and Abbott and Costello met Frankenstein. Amateur-looking gore-fests such as Blood Feast and Two Thousand Maniacs! seemed to skim the pond scum off the lurid daydreams of an audience waiting for Quentin Tarantino to get cracking. Horror was the hobby shop that broke down the door to the film factory. From Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left to David Lynch's Fuseli-ish fever dream Eraserhead to Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to John Carpenter's epochal Halloween (which released Alfred Hitchcock's slasher technique from Psycho into the wilds of teenage hormones) to The Blair Witch Project (which pioneered the night-vision postnasal-drip monologue), horror and suspense have been a low-cost entry point for writers, producers, and directors, and remain so today. In October, New York Times media reporter Brooks Barnes profiled producer Jason Blum, whose company Blumhouse Productions is making a mint on movies that break into the box-office Top 10 like safecrackers, bypassing the red-carpet la-di-da: "Over the last five years, for production costs totaling a mere $27 million, [Blumhouse Productions] has churned out eight hit horror films—including Paranormal Activity, Sinister and The Purge—that have taken in $1.1 billion at the worldwide box office. Insidious: Chapter 2, for instance, cost $5 million to make and last month sold $116.5 million in tickets." Producer Blum is also pitching to television, where the crypt is getting awfully crowded with witches (Witches of East End, American Horror Story: Coven), vampires (The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Dracula, and, preparing to bust out of the coffin, director Guillermo del Toro's The Strain), monster/demon slayers (Supernatural, Grimm), lycanthropes (Teen Wolf), serial killers (Dexter, Hannibal, The Following), sensitive mama's boys learning the hospitality trade (Bates Motel), and, dragging their ravaged skulls and skeletons at a snail's pace toward the nearest unwilling organ donor, a flash mob of zombies.

Grand Old Grizzly - Pure Country Pyrite
Showing that they have a sense of humor, this four piece band takes a poke at themselves with the album title Pure Country Pyrite, as pyrite is otherwise known as fool's gold. There's no foolin' around here though; opening cut "Gundowners" tells the tale of a criminal couple on the run that's set to a speedy country western beat that recalls groups like the Flying Burrito Brother and the Outlaws. "Awkward" adds a bit of punk rock ethos to the western twang, "Papa Was a Radio" is a stutter-stepping dance number and "You Got No One" borrows a classic Creedence Clearwater Revival guitar sound. "Darkness" is an understated cut that really shows off the songwriting talent of singer/guitarist Will Thomas; the foreboding cut is balanced out somewhat with album closer "Sunlight," even though the song also has a darkness to it. Grand Old Grizzly has several shows coming up in their native Texas.

Macchi Veltro 205 1L.Gorrini - 1 Squadriglia - 1 Gruppo Caccia - 1944
Macchi Veltro 205 1L.Gorrini - 1 Squadriglia - 1 Gruppo Caccia - 1944
Product Code: AC091
The Italian World War II fighter aircraft, the Aermacchi Veltro C.205 was built by the Italian company Aeonautica Macchi which had been in the industry since before the First World War. The C.205 was one of three Series 5 Italian fighters built using the powerful Daimler-Benz DB605 engine. It came with a top speed of 400 mph, equipped with two 20.mm cannon as well as 12.7 Breda machine guns. It was a force to be reckoned with and despite its late entry into the conflict, only being produced between 1942 and 1944 and a mere 262 aircraft at that, it was highly successful , being both respected and feared by Allied pilots. Its pilots downed many Allied fighters, notably the American P-51D Mustang, Curtiss P-40, as well as Liberators, Blenheims and P-38 Lightnings. Even the noble Spitfire was part of their tallies.
One of these Italian fighter aces was Sergente Maggiore Luigi Gorrini who was born in 1917. His distinguished World War II flying career saw him fighting over Libya and Tunisia as well as in the defence of the Italian mainland. He shot his first Allied plane down over Libya in 1941. At the end of 1943, Gorrini joined the Italian national republican air force, (ANR) where he was assigned to 1 Squadriglia, 1 Gruppa Caccia, where he continued to fly C.205 fighters. At the end of January 1944, under the command of 'Ace' Capitano Adriano Visconti, the Gruppa was sent out to attack a formation of American bombers under P-47 escort. Gorrini's score included a B-24, P-47 and then a P-38. His last air battle was on 15th June 1944 when his plane was hit during a dogfight with four P-47 Thunderbolts. He baled out but was too close to the ground, subsequently waking up in hospital. He recovered but did not fly operationally again. Living until November 2014, he summed up his World War II record as 212 air combats, 24 solo air victories and 5 parachute bale-outs. Not only was he the highest ranking Italian fighter ace still alive at the time but was also the only surviving pilot to be awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valour.
All this history is encapsulated in our 1:72 scale model of the Veltro C.205 which appears in the typical Italian World War II camouflage scheme of dark grey/mid grey upper body and wings, pale blue/grey mottled fuselage and pale blue grey under body. A white rear fuselage band is painted under the Italian flag with the 23 – 1 identity numbers in red and white on each side behind the cockpit. Finishing touches see the Italian flag on the vertical tail fin, the propeller spinner painted white and green and the underside of the engine cowl coloured bright yellow.

[WATCH] Viral mannequin challenge reaches EU ambassadors in Brussels
Deputy permanent representatives to the EU met this morning to discuss wholesale roaming markets: but the busy 'Eurocrats' also found time to take part in the Mannequin Challenge
Deputy permanent representatives to the European Union meeting this morning to discuss proposals for roaming charges sought to prove to European citizens that they were not "boring Eurocrats".
A video posted on social media by the Maltese Presidency of the Council of the EU features the diplomats – during a meeting chaired by Malta's deputy permanent representative Neil Kerr – taking part in the mannequin challenge.
The video carried the caption: "Whoever said Eurocrats are boring?! Ambassadors kick-off the 2017 Maltese Presidency of the Council of the EU's chairing of COREPER I by doing the #MannequinChallenge."
The mannequin challenge is the latest viral trend to have hit the online world since November and features people imitating mannequins and freezing for the camera while Rae Sremmurd's Black Beatles plays in the background.
The viral trend spread round the globe – thanks to American teenagers who started performing it in high schools - and thousands of videos have since emerged.
Videos featuring US First Lady Michelle Obama, Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, sports stars and musicians have been made.
But in a marked contrast, soft acoustic music was chosen in the EU ambassadors' case.
