Principle One
Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights; and
Principle Two
make sure they are not complicit in human rights abuses.
Human rights are universal and belong to everyone equally. The origin of Principles One and Two is in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The aim of this Declaration was to set basic minimum international standards for the protection of the rights and freedoms of the individual. The fundamental nature of these provisions means that they are now widely regarded as forming a foundation of international law. In particular, the principles of the UDHR are considered to be international customary law and do not require signature or ratification by the state to be recognized as a legal standard. The UDHR is a keystone document, it has been translated into over 437 languages and dialects. While some principles may not be directly applicable to business, consistency with the declaration is important.
What does the Universal Declaration Say?
The Declaration begins by laying down its basic premise that "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." The Declaration then goes on to give content to its understanding of equality by prohibiting any distinction in the enjoyment of human rights on such grounds as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Life and Security
The rights to life, liberty and security, and the right to be free from slavery servitude, torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment further develop the notion of personal dignity and security. The rights of the individual to a just national legal system are also set out. The right to recognition as a person before the law, to equal protection of the law, to a judicial remedy before a court for human rights violations, to be free from arbitrary arrest, to a fair trial before an independent court, to the presumption of innocence and not to be subjected to retroactive penal laws are all set out in the Declaration.
Personal Freedom
Rights protecting a person's privacy in matters relating to family, home, correspondence, reputation and honour and freedom of movement are all part of the Universal Declaration. The right to seek asylum, to a nationality, to marry and found a family and the right to own property are also proclaimed by the Declaration. Freedom of thought, conscience and religion and freedom of opinion and expression are set out along with the right of peaceful assembly and association and the right to take part in government.
Economic, Social and Cultural Freedoms
Touching other aspects of the daily lives of people, the Declaration proclaims the right to social security and to the economic, social and cultural right indispensable to human dignity and the free development of each individual's personality. These rights are to be realised through national efforts and international co-operation in accordance with conditions in each state.
The right to work is set out, and to equal pay for equal work and to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for the worker and the worker's family am existence worthy of human dignity (which can be supplemented if necessary by other means of social protection). The Declaration also recognizes that right to form and join trade unions, the right to rest and leisure, reasonable limitations on working hours and periodic holidays with pay. The right to a standard of living adequate for health and well being, including food, clothing, housing, medical care, and to social services and security, if necessary, are also proclaimed as are the rights to education, and to participate in the cultural life of the community, and to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production.
UN Global Compact Principles One and Two call on business to develop an awareness of human rights and to work within their sphere of influence to uphold these universal values, on the basis that responsibility falls to every individual in society.

Formats/Genres: Experimental Music
Audio recordings, correspondences, technical reports, lecture notes, music manuscripts, photographic prints, film negatives, promotional publications, and newsclippings documenting the operations of the School of Music Experimental Music Studios (EMS). Included in these documents is information regarding subjects including computer-assisted composition, the ILLIAC digital computers, EMS equipment acquisition and maintenance, renovation of EMS facilities, and grant proposals. The technical reports cover information pertaining to the specifications and usage of audio equipment witin the EMS. Correspondances detail significant authors including: Lejaren Hiller, Herbert Brün, James Beauchamp, and Scott Wyatt.
This collection also consists of audio recordings of materials that were created both within the EMS and by composers not affiliated with the institution. The collection contains both recording masters and copies. The audio collection was originally intended to serve multiple purposes within the EMS including being used for pedagogical and research purposes, to archive the recordings that were created within the EMS, and to be utilized for live performances. The recordings that were not created within the EMS were donated through mail correspondences, through a composer's on-campus, or at various conferences.
Some of the notable recordings from within the audio collection includes the master recordings of Lejaren Hiller's Seven Electronic Studies and A Triptych For Hieronymus, Music by Computers by Various Composers (commercially released in 1969), Salvatore Martirano's Underworld (Performance Loops), and a demonstration tape of James Beauchamp's Harmonic Tone Generator.
Significant composers within the audio collection who the EMS include: Jon Appleton, James Beauchamp, Herbert Brün, Kenneth Gaburo, Lejaren Hiller, Ben Johnston, Paul Koonce, Salvatore Martirano, John Melby, Gordon Mumma, Harry Partch, and Scott Wyatt.
The audio collection also features many recordings originating from non-EMS affiliated composers. The collection is particularly strong in materials from the Polish Experimental Music Studio (featuring composers Bohdan Mazurek and Boguslaw Schaeffer).
Other significant recording studios prominently featured within this collection include: Bell Laboratories, Columbia-Princeton Music Center, Dartmouth College, Experimental Studio of the Polish Radio in Warsaw/Polskie Radio i Telewizja, Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (RTF), the University of Michigan, the University of Utrecht.
Many of the tape cases from these external institutions were custom made or have institutional markings and documentation on them.
Within the audio tape collection, sixty-one of the tapes have additional documents in the tape cases. Such documents include composition and composer information, program notes, and correspondences originating from the composer.
Many of the recordings also utilize significant electronic and custom instruments. Significant electronic instruments utilized within these recordings include: the Bell Labs GROOVE Systems, the Buchla 200 synthesizer, The Harmonic Tone Generator, the Illiac, the Moog Modular Synthesizer, the RCA Mark II, the Sal-Mar Construction, the Synclavier, and the Theremin.
Although the EMS was founded in 1958, there are recordings in the collection that date back to 1924. These recordings are copies and were used within the EMS for research and pedagogical purposes.
The University of Illinois Experimental Music Studios were founded in 1958 by Lejaren Hiller, Jr. and were arguably the first of their kind in the Western Hemisphere (the Columbia-Princeton Music Center officially opened around the same time). Faculty members and students working in these studios have been responsible for major developments in both electro-acoustic music and electronic music instruments (often in collaboration with the University of Illinois College of Engineering). Notable developments within the field of electro-acoustic music include: Lejaren Hiller's Illiac Suite (the first musical score composed by computer), Kenneth Gaburo's Lemon Drops (utilizing tape and locally created electronic instruments), and Salvatore Martirano's Underworld (utilizing Salvatore's unique hand-built synthesizer).
Notable electronic music instruments that were developed within the EMS and the University of Illinois include James Beauchamp's Harmonic Tone Generator (which was developed in 1964 and was one of the first voltage controlled instruments) and Salvatore Maritrano's Sal-Mar Construction (built ca. 1970 utilizing remaining circuit boards of the University's Illiac computer).
The EMS participated in multiple group and individual commercially released albums including Electronic Music From The University Of Illinois (Heliodor Records, 1967), Computer Music From The University Of Illinois (Heliodor/MGM Records 1967), and Music by Computers with accompanying book (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.1969). Albums from individual composers from within the EMS included Kenneth Gaburo's Music For Voices, Instruments & Electronic Sounds (Nonesuch Reccords, 1968), Salvatore Martirano's L's GA (Polydor Records, 1968), and Lejaren Hiller and John Melby's Computer Music (CRI Records, 1973). The EMS also created its own record label (EMS) which it used to release LPs and CDs from the 1970s through the 1990s.
As of 2017, the facility continues as an active and productive center for electro-acoustic and computer music composition, education and research.

The Thrill of It | The Start of Us | Every Second With You
Surprise! The Caught Up in Love series is continuing! Bryan - as in Kat and Bryan - has a younger sister and she goes to college in Los Angeles. She has something in common with Kat - Jess also is a huge fan of the movies and she's putting herself through college as a celebrity photographer. I'm so excited to bring you more of these characters and introduce readers to the "west coast" side of the Caught Up in Love cast of characters and friends. Kat & Bryan will both appear in this story and you'll also get to meet Matthew Harrigan's brother who lives in LA (you know this if you read Far Too Tempting). Here's the storyline and the book releases in August.
Stars in Their Eyes by Lauren Blakely
Celebrity photographer-in-training Jess Leighton desperately needs to crash the wedding of the year. Snapping just one pic of the A-list Hollywood couple tying the knot will pay her way through school, but with security tighter than the bride-to-be's corset, she'll need more than her camera and smarts - she'll need help from her biggest rival, William Harrigan. Hot, motorcycle-riding Will is the last person Jess trusts, but he's her only ticket in. Good-looking, charming, and British, he's a triple threat. And he's got that sexy accent to boot. Soon, sparks are flying off-screen and in front of the cameras as they devise a plan to sneak into the ceremony. But when Jess' new celebrity client raises the stakes with a photo shoot of the maid-of-honor, she wonders if she's in over her head. Blackmail, botox, and the worst Breakfast Club remake in the world? It's all in a whirlwind week's work in Hollywood. The audience loves a happy ending, but in a town where everyone's acting and no one's playing on the same team, can Jess find her own ever after in time?
**STARS IN THEIR EYES is part of the New York Times & USA Today Bestselling CAUGHT UP IN LOVE series. It follows the sister of the hero in Caught Up In Us and can be read as a standalone, though you will likely enjoy the other books in the series.**

You may be limited to a specified number of tickets for each event (also known as a "ticket limit"). This ticket limit is posted during the purchase process and is verified with every transaction.

Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. We will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.
Different combinations of delivery methods may be offered, depending on factors that include the venue or country where the event is to be held, the country in which you live, how much time is left before the event starts, whether it is a holiday season and the nature of the demand for the event. Please carefully review the list of delivery methods offered during the purchase process. For security purposes, we can only ship tickets to the billing address on file with the credit card company that is used for your purchase.
Opening acts or guests may sometimes tour with headlining performers. We are not always made aware of opening acts or the length of their performances. Opening acts, as well as festival performers, are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. No refund will be owed if an opening act or festival performer is changed or canceled.

Occasionally, concerts are canceled or postponed. Should this occur, we will attempt to contact you to inform you of refund or exchange procedures for that concert. For exact instructions on any canceled or postponed concert, please check the concert information online or contact us. If the event was moved or rescheduled, we may be able to substitute tickets with comparable or better seat locations in our discretion. Please contact us for more information if you cannot attend the rescheduled event.
You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not contact us to seek a refund or exchange from us when we are prohibited from providing one, and you will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets from the Site.

If we are able to issue you a refund for a ticket due to a canceled or postponed event, we will issue a refund of the ticket's face value paid (or, for a discounted ticket, then instead the discounted ticket price paid) and all service fees. In no event will delivery charges or any other amounts be refunded. If a refund is issued, it will be issued using the same method of payment that was used to purchase the tickets. We will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed event.
If the amount you pay for a ticket is incorrect regardless of whether because of an error in a price posted on this Site or otherwise communicated to you, or you are able to order a ticket before its scheduled on-sale or presale date or you are able to order a ticket that was not supposed to have been released for sale, then we will have the right to cancel that ticket (or the order for that ticket) and refund to you the amount that you paid. This will apply regardless of whether because of human error or a transactional malfunction.
Event providers reserve the right, without refund of any amount paid, to refuse admission to, or eject, any person whose conduct management deems disorderly, who uses vulgar or abusive language or who fails to comply with event provider rules. Breach of terms or rules will terminate your license to attend the event without refund. A ticket is a revocable license and admission may be refused upon refunding the ticket's face amount. A ticket is not redeemable for cash.
You agree that the event for which you purchase tickets is a public event, that your appearance and actions inside and outside the venue where the event occurs are public in nature, and that you have no expectation of privacy with regard to your actions or conduct at the event. You grant permission to the event provider(s) to utilize your name, image, likeness, acts, poses, plays, appearance, movements, and statements in any live or recorded audio, video, or photographic display or other transmission, exhibition, publication or reproduction made of, or at, the event (regardless of whether before, during or after play or performance) for any purpose, in any manner, in any medium or context now known or hereafter developed, without further authorization from, or compensation to, you or anyone acting on your behalf.

You are responsible for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws. In addition, we reserve the right to restrict or deny ticket purchasing privileges to anyone that we determine to be, or has been, in violation of our policies.

We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, but in no event will we pay for attorneys' fees. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. You agree to waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action.

Courage Russian Imperial Stout
Yet another clone of a beer that I have never had, the iconic Courage Russian Imperial Stout. The original Russian Imperial Stout, and a beer that is supposed to age gracefully for as long as 30 years.
We based the recipe on the one found in Brew Your Own British Real Ale at Home, and a brew log (below) for the Barclay Imperial Brown Stout from 1937, which evolved into Courage RIS, that was emailed to me by Ron Pattinson. I then made some changes based on other research, I used Dark Candi Syrup instead of the caramel that some recipes mention because I know it is a form of caramel and also highly fermentable. I also decided to add Some Brettanomyces and oak, both of which Michael Jackson mentions were found in the original. The Brett will hopefully provide the leather aroma that some people mention in reviews. I used Brettanomyces anomolus which Wyeast lists as originally coming from an English Stout in the 1950's (sadly this strain is now discontinued, but Brett C from white labs would be a good substitute).
This is also an interesting recipe because although it is a stout the only dark grain it has in it is Black Patent, which is generally associated with Robust Porters and a charcoal flavor. I was amazed how smooth both the wort and the uncarbonated beer tasted. I think this is in large part due to the adjustments I made to my water, adding plenty of (bi)carbonate to counteract the acidity of the BP. In fact Courage RIS is not the only stout made without Roasted Barley, both Sierra Nevada Stout and the new Imperial Oat Stout from Southern Tier get all their blackness from Black Patent.
One of the big procedural difference between this beer and my Funky Old Ale is that once it hit 1.020, I attempted to kill the Brett to prevent the wild yeast from making the beer too dry. First I chilled the beer to stop the Brett, then I fined the beer with gelatin and let it sit cool for a few days. Once the gelatin settled I transferred it to tertiary with 3 crushed up Campden Tablets (potassium metabisulfite). K-meta is often used in wine and cider making to kill wild yeast and bacteria before fermentation, but in this case I hope that it was able to kill whatever Brett was left over after the beer was fined. After waiting a few weeks for the SO2 to leave the beer I bottled with priming sugar and some rehydrated US-05 dry yeast. Hopefully the Brett is dead, or I may have some exploding bottles in a few months.

Mash Schedule
Sacc Rest 90 min @ 155
Mash Out 10 min @ 166 (pulled 1 gallon of wort, heated to a boil, then returned to the mash)
Brewed 7/14/07 with James
Made a 3 pint starter the night before, probably not ideal but I've gotten by with worse, I won't be pitching until the morning after the brewday anyway.
Starting with DC tap water filtered through a Brita, 8 gallons of water with 6g Baking Soda, 1 g Chalk, 1g salt, and 1g Epsom salt.
6 gallons of 1.075 wort collected, including the sugars that were added while the sparge was going. Boiled down to about 3.5 gallons @ 1.115, with the starter and about 1 qrt of boiled and chilled water added the effective OG is 1.101.
The next morning, after a night of cooling in the freezer it was down to 65 degrees, I pitched the now mildly active starter and about a quart of boiled and chilled water.
Solid layer of krausen by 8 hours later, glad I made the starter.
Blow off tube needed by 12 hours, I needed it for about 24 hours.
Fermentation seemed to wrap up after about a week between 63-65 ambient.
Transferred to Secondary after 2 weeks, gravity around 1.030 (70% AA)
8/30/07 Added 5/8 oz of briefly boiled StaVin medium toast French oak cubes and a tablespoon of Brett A slurry (saved from my 2nd Mo' Betta clone). Left in a 5 gallon better bottle with airlock.
9/24/07 Down to about 1.025, mild Brett flavor/aroma
10/13/07 Down to 1.022, Brett seems to be very smooth.
10/28/07 1.020 (80% AA, 10.8% ABV) time to kill it.
10/29/07 Dissolved 1 packet of Knox gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water, then mixed in 1/4 cup of boiling water. Added it to the beer and stirred/swirled to distribute, then chilled to 62 in the freezer to encourage precipitation of the yeast (not much did).
10/31/07 Racked to bottling bucket, cleaned/sanitized fermenter, then racked back with 3 crushed campden tablets. About 3 gallons of beer remain. No sign of the gelatin, no idea if I just don't see it or if I screwed up somehow. Slight foamy head, probably just from the campden releasing SO2. Left at room temp.
11/09/07 Bottled, yielded 3.25 gallons. Added 2 grams of US-05 rehydrated in warm water, and 2.5 oz of corn sugar. Aiming for 2.2 volumes of CO2. FG still 1.020 (80% AA, 10.8% abv), good sign hopefully all of the Brett really is dead.
5/01/08 Still has moderate carbonation, looks like the campden tablets did their job and killed the Brett.
1/29/08 1st Tasting
12/28/08 Christmas 2008 Tasting
1/02/10 Christmas 2009 Tasting
12/23/10 Christmas 2010 Tasting
12/27/11 Christmas 2011 Tasting
12/27/12 Tasting next to bottles of 2011 Courage RIS and 2009 A. Le Coq Imperial Extra Double Stout. Happy with how ours compared!
4/14/15 Delayed 2014 tasting. Really hitting its stride (caramel and dried fruit coming out), probably time to rebrew soon...

1/11/18 Christmas 2017 Tasting

Find CQS solicitors for conveyancing in Norwood Upper
Conveyancing Solicitors that are Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) accreddited or are licensed conveyancers are generally better positioned to help you buy or sell your home in Norwood Upper
Why Should I not go for Cheap conveyancing in Norwood Upper?
We urge you to choose conveyancers based on speed of service, quality of service, accreditation, number of complaints with the Legal Ombudsman and nature of negligence claims rather than price. Usually conveyancing solicitors or licensed conveyancing firms that provide "cheap conveyancing" services do this buy using inexperienced low-paid staff handling far too many cases. This inevitably will mean delays and possibly losing the property or the buyer. Most people that are selling a house know not to use "cheap conveyancing" services because of the problems this can cause. "Cheap Conveyancing" is a false economy as your choice of conveyancing solicitor can cause the transaction to collapse and cost you £3000.
How do I avoid being gazumped when buying in Croydon?
More often than not, buyers are gazumped because the conveyancing is slow and is frustrating the seller. Therefore when choosing a conveyancing solicitor, make sure you stress that you need a fast service. Make sure the conveyancer is experienced and does not hold more than 45 conveyancing files. The more files they have, the slower they are.
Can I do my own conveyancing when buying or selling in Croydon?
Although this is possible, we would not recommend carrying out your own conveyancing in Croydon as law firms are backed by indemnity insurance whereas individuals are unlikely to have sufficient insurance to cover the transaction if something goes wrong.
What causes the purchase conveyancing in Croydon to be so slow?
Conveyancing can be slow if the conveyancer is inexperienced, lacks knowledge or has too many cases to deal with. These are usually symptomatic of firms providing "cheap conveyancing"; such firms use junior staff that lack the credentials to handle conveyancing. They are also up to their neck with cases and so do not have the time to handle cases with speed.

Looking over the calendar for the rest of March, I am struck by the fact that the Feast of St. Joseph, the Patron of the Church, occurs on Tuesday, March 19.
What a great day for the Inaugural Mass of our next Pope!!
Obviously, I will have no say in when that Mass will take place. But I can't help but note the significance of having that Inaugural Mass on the Feast of the Patron of the Universal Church. St. Joseph was also given the title "Guardian of the Redeemer" by Blessed John Paul II.
Since I was a seminarian, I have had a very personal devotion to St. Joseph. In God's providence I was ordained a priest on May 1, 1962 the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Then, on March 19, 1975, the Feast of St. Joseph I was ordained a Bishop. Although all of this is just imaginary, it would be wonderful to celebrate the 38th anniversary of my episcopal ordination during the Inaugural Mass for our new Pope!
In a sermon on St. Joseph, St. Bernardine of Siena gives us helpful insights:
"Joseph was chosen by the eternal Father as the trustworthy guardian and protector of his greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son and Mary, Joseph's wife. He carried out this vocation with complete fidelity until at last God called him, saying: 'Good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.'
What then is Joseph's position in the whole Church of Christ? Is he not a man chosen and set apart? Through him and, yes, under him, Christ was fittingly and honorably introduced into the world. Holy Church in its entirety is indebted to the Virgin Mother because through her it was judged worthy to receive Christ. But after her we undoubtedly owe special gratitude and reverence to Saint Joseph."
O glorious St. Joseph, spouse of the Immaculate Virgin, obtain for us pure, humble, and charitable hearts, and perfect conformity to the will of God. Be our guide, our father and model during life so that we may merit to die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Dear St. Joseph, foster father of our Lord Jesus Christ, true spouse of the Virgin Mother of God, pray for us!

Gluten-Free Cake Mix Sugar Cookie recipe can be made into beautiful sugar cookie rolls with just a few simple ingredients. This easy freezer recipe for gluten-free cookies is such a great item to keep stocked for the perfect hostess gift or for a friend in need. Tied with ribbon, you have the perfect gift for any occasion!
Do you ever have a really hard time with a recipe and then later wonder if it had ever been tested?
That was the case with this project from start to finish.
These cookies were supposed to be simple and straightforward, but the recipe ended up being written completely wrong.
Thankfully for you, I spent a whole day figuring out what went wrong with this one and how we can fix it so that you can have an awesome baking day!
Please read this post carefully, I am offering you a load of tips for a successful baking day!
Are M&M's Gluten-Free?
Let's begin with the question, are M&M's gluten-free?
The answer is that most M&M's are gluten-free.
In fact, most of the varieties they typically carry, other than their pretzel variety, are gluten-free.
What I found with the Red Velvet M&M's though are that they are gluten-free, but in high times of production, like Halloween & Valentine's Day, Mars uses alternative facilities to make its candy and some of those may introduce cross-contamination risks.
These Red Velvet M&M's are ones that could have been cross-contaminated.
If this is of high concern, look for the plain M&M's, preferably mini-M&M's to help your dough hold up better.
It is always important to read your labels carefully and know that Mars Chocolate always promises to call out any wheat, barley, and rye ingredients by name, as well as any cross-contamination risks on their labels.
I recommend this information page for finding which candies are safe to eat.
Tips for a Successful Dough
As, I am a big fan of the Betty Crocker cake mixes, I used this mix to create my cookies.
As you can see when I mixed the ingredients together, this dough is very crumbly.
To help make this dough really hold and stick together, add 3-4 teaspoons of water to the dough, until it really comes together. This will help when slicing your sugar cookie rolls.
The recipe that was written did not add this to the dough and so when I sliced them, the cookie dough crumbled. I had to add my water later and chill them again for another three hours.
Once I sliced with the liquid addition, the dough held much better.
If you need these cookies to be dairy-free as well as gluten-free, please read the notes in the recipe on how you can create these without the butter.
Tips for a Successful Sugar Cookie Log
One more thing, I learned while creating this cookies is that it is better to make your sugar cookie roll WITHOUT the M&M's in it and then add them to your cookies after so you can get beautifully clean slices.
Trying to cut through these Red Velvet M&M's was a real challenge so I would encourage adding them after or just doing these cookies as a drop cookie.
To do a sugar cookie roll, as pictured above with M&M's, seek the mini varieties.
Again, read the packaging carefully to insure that they are safe for eating.
Wrap your sugar cookie roll in wax paper and chill for three hours or more.
Once you are ready to bake off your cookies, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and then slice them and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet or a well-greased cookie sheet.
I prefer parchment paper squares (like these), both for the ease of clean-up and how beautifully these cookies will set up.
Allow these to cool and then transfer.
These cookies are very delicate in texture so you will want to give them plenty of time to set up.
What Do They Taste Like?
These cookies are so delicious that you will NEVER know that they are gluten-free.
The dough is so flavorful and the healthy dose of vanilla in the batter makes these taste like a cookie dough that you truly slaved over.
The addition of the candies adds that yummy chocolate flavor that I think every good cookie should have.
With these helpful tips, I hope you will have a successful baking day and hope that this easy treat idea will help as you plan your own holiday treats this year!
Can I Freeze These?
Cookies can be frozen!
It is recommended that you wrap them in aluminum foil or in a resealable plastic bag for up to one month.
Let the cookies thaw on the kitchen counters overnight before serving.
What Other Ways Can I Spice Up These Cookies?
If you can't have chocolate, there are many other ways you can spice these easy cookies up.
Add Sprinkles– Lightly beat one egg white and brush the tops of your cookies with it, then sprinkle with gluten-free sugar sprinkles.
Add Zest– Add 1 teaspoon of grated lemon, orange, or key lime zest
Switch Your Extract– Try a different extract in your dough like almond or butter
Make It Spicy– Add a pinch of nutmeg, cinnamon, or dust the tops with the egg white & a cinnamon & sugar combo.

The Lake Constance Radiation Oncology Center in Singen, Germany, is a small, private oncology center that delivers an exceptionally high standard of care. To maintain efficiency while creating outstanding treatment plans, they rely on the Pinnacle³ radiation therapy planning system. Mr. Holger Wirtz, Chief Medical Physicist, and Prof. Johannes Lutterbach, Radiation Oncologist, are key clinicians at the Center. They tell us how Pinnacle helps them simplify tasks while generating high-quality results.
It's a point of pride for the Lake Constance Radiation Oncology Center that no patient leaves without a treatment plan. To keep living up to this standard, and with caseloads increasing year by year, they need workflows that can meet this high demand. For plans they trust, Wirtz and Lutterbach use Pinnacle³ radiation therapy planning. "The integration on Pinnacle³ is like nothing I've seen on the market. It pulls together workflows into one system," says Wirtz. With enhanced automation, workflows are now so efficient that clinicians can consult one additional patient per day. And not just that – the plans that are generated enjoy a good reputation. Only about ten percent of cases require replanning; the rest rely on one plan in which integrated boosts and the final dose are already considered.
Saving time with Pinnacle³
Pinnacle³'s powerful computation accelerates processes throughout the center. IMRT plans are typically optimized in two minutes; complicated plans require about an hour. At the LINAC, therapists spend only 90 seconds (down from 15 to 20 minutes) with the phantom data for cross-measurement, allowing them to start planning the next case.* Automation tools on Pinnacle³ also change the way the center schedules work. Auto-segmentation with SPICE, for example, helps prevent labeling mismatches that can slow down scripts. The center also uses Pinnacle³ Auto-Planning, a new module designed to help clinicians accelerate IMRT and VMAT planning with smart optimization tools.
Quality of care, or quantity of patients? Lutterbach doesn't see a trade-off. The Lake Constance Radiation Oncology Center has been using Pinnacle³ radiation therapy planning and a Philips Brilliance CT Big Bore scanner since the center was founded in 2008. "Our medical technology allows us to scan a lot of patients quickly, and start the treatment fast," he says. And the high quality of care is also visible from the low occurrence of severe side effects. "The surgeon here often says he can't tell our patient has undergone radiation – even when there's a pause between treatment and surgery."

It won't just be the LibDems who'll be holding a leadership contest soon. ConservativeHome has also learnt that Timothy Kirkhope, Leader of the Tory MEPs, is also likely to be challenged.
Mr Kirkhope, who survived a challenge from the Eurosceptic MEP Chris Heaton-Harris last year, may not survive this time. The MEPs delegation is roughly split three ways. There are the Eurosceptics, the Euroenthusiasts and a middling group. Giles Chichester and Charles Tannock, both outside of the Eurosceptic group, may stand against Mr Kirkhope next month and will potentially divide Mr Kirkhope's support base as a result.
Mr Kirkhope has been unable to command loyalty across the very divided group of MEPs and, as a result, has been unable to fill key portfolio positions. Mr Kirkhope has also been weakened by Neil Parish MEP's selection for Tiverton and Honiton. Parish ran Kirkhope's first leadership campaign and was crucial for binding the delegation together. His other European Parliamentary responsibilities and his commitment to his Westminster ambitions have made him a less effective lieutenant.
The delegation remains bitterly divided on the EPP. Caroline Jackson MEP recently wrote about David Cameron's pledge to form a new group in her monthly newsletter to party members. After discussing David Cameron's embryonic relations with EPP leaders, she asks:
"So where does this leave The Pledge to "leave the EPP"? Well, its still there and is given substance by the Movement for European Reform. We formed this with the Czechs as a discussion forum that might develop into an alternative group for us in the Parliament after 2009. We found some Bulgarians who had succeeded in getting themselves elected (our former choice failed at this first fence) and they were quite interested until the EPP leant on them and intimated that they could not stay in the EPP and join the MER. They opted for the EPP and the hunt for stray Bulgarian MEPs resumed. I think the MER is a very good idea as a forum for reform, but so long as it is seen as a potential alternative group we will struggle for recruits. There are in fact plenty of people in the EPP - the Swedes for example - who are not federalists who would be happy to join then. We could be instrumental in tilting the intellectual balance away from federalism in the EPP -but only if we stay and work at it.
All this is important because it affects our party's strategy in and attitude to the EU. I don't know how David Cameron will deal with The Pledge. At some point he has to abandon it publicly by acknowledging that it was unrealistic and impolitic, rather than allow it to wither poisonously on the vine."
When MEPs are readopted for the 2009 European Parliamentary Elections they will be required to sign a pledge committing to leave the EPP.

Fernando Alonso wins 2010 Korean Grand Prix
Tuesday, October 26, 2010
Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso won the first ever FIA 2010 Korean Grand Prix in Yeongam, South Korea. With two races to go, Alonso now leads the drivers' championship, closely followed by Mark Webber and Lewis Hamilton.
As Typhoon Megi reached China, heavy rain hit Yeongam on Sunday afternoon and the race was red-flagged for about half an hour, before conditions improved. Both Red Bull drivers failed to finish despite starting first and second from the grid before and after race restarted. Webber ran wide and hit a wall, hitting Nico Rosberg's Mercedes, and Sebastian Vettel's engine blew up during his spurt to the finish line leading the race.
Hamilton changed places twice with Alonso behind Vettel, but finished second for McLaren. Alonso's teammamte Felipe Massa closing the podium on third place. Michael Schumacher drove his best race in this season for Mercedes overtaking Robert Kubica's Renault after the restart following the red flag. Schumacher finished fourth and Kubica fifth.
Vitantonio Liuzzi placed his Force India on 6th place after his teammate, Adran Sutil, crashed in lap 47 after coming into contact with Kamui Kobayashi's {{w|BMW Sauber|Sauber}. Rubens Barrichello's Williams gets passes by both Kubica and Liuzzi to finish 7th ahead Kobayashi. The two German drivers of Sauber and Williams—Nick Heidfeld and Nico Hülkenberg closed the top ten.
The situation in the season's standings has now changed in favour of Alonso—the Spaniard leads the driver's championship with 231 points, 11 more than Webber, who is in second place with 220 points. Hamilton and Vettel are third and fourth in the rankings with 210 and 206 respectively. Jenson Button has admitted he now has little hope of winning the title—he is in fifth with 189 points. The constructors' standings list is still dominated by Red Bull, who have 426 points, McLaren with 399 and Ferrari with 374. There are two races left until the end of the season, the first in Brazil, and the second a week later in Abu Dhabi.

100 percent renewable energy: 100 percent possible, 100 percent happening.
Over the past couple of weeks, a much-needed conversation about moving to 100 percent renewable energy has exploded into the national spotlight. Unfortunately, the focus has largely been on personal disputes and deep-in-the-weeds debates among folks who basically agree instead of a productive conversation about how we can get there.
Over the past couple of weeks, a much-needed conversation about moving to 100 percent renewable energy has exploded into the national spotlight. Unfortunately, the focus has largely been on personal disputes and deep-in-the-weeds debates among folks who basically agree instead of a productive conversation about how we can get there.
There should be little doubt that we can move our country — and our world — to 100 percent renewable energy before we experience the worst impacts of global warming. Last year, Environment America Research & Policy Center published a report with Frontier Group titled, "We Have the Power: 100% Renewable Energy for a Clean, Thriving America" that examined various scenarios through which we could re-power our society with renewable energy, mainly by cutting our energy use and ramping up solar and wind.
There are no lack of reasons for shifting completely away from fossil fuels. First and foremost, renewable energy makes us safer and healthier, protecting our communities from air and water pollution, as well as the damaging effects of global warming. Shockingly, 72 metropolitan areas in this country still experience at least 100 days of unhealthy air pollution every year. This is unacceptable, especially when it's totally avoidable.
If we power our country with 100 percent renewable energy, we would also avoid the many harmful practices related to fossil fuel extraction and transportation. Instead of authorizing the construction of pipelines like Keystone and Dakota Access, and instead of fracking for oil and gas near our precious water supplies, we can build wind turbines and install solar panels. In an attempt to present that choice in stark terms, groups are now protesting the construction of the Keystone pipeline by building solar panels in its path. We just simply don't need to endanger our health and climate when there are viable alternatives, especially when you consider that pipelines were responsible for over 300 'significant incidents' in 2016 and over 5,600 since 1996.
Going 100 percent renewable is not only the right thing to do, but it's also 100 percent possible. In the United States, we have virtually inexhaustible renewable energy resources that we've only just begun to harness. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, we have enough sunlight to produce more than 100 times our current electricity needs, and 10 times enough wind to do the same. As if that wasn't enough, we also have immense potential to reduce our energy needs through improved efficiency. By one estimate, we could reduce our overall energy use 40 to 60 percent by mid-century. This should lead us to believe that there are no insurmountable technological or economic barriers to 100 percent renewable energy.
What's more, the price of solar and wind power has plummeted faster than even the most optimistic projections. We're seeing similar trends with electric cars and battery storage as well. With these rapid declines in cost and increased urgency to act on climate, a growing movement of towns, cities, states and businesses are committing to going 100 percent renewable. As of now, 37 cities across the country have announced 100 percent renewable energy goals, including San Diego, the eighth largest city in the country. Large corporations like Walmart, General Motors, Google and IKEA have made similar commitments.
The progress we've seen, especially recently, should inspire confidence that we can completely re-power our lives with renewable energy. However, getting there is not a foregone conclusion. That's why we're working hard in states like California and Massachusetts to pass laws committing them to 100 percent renewable energy, and it's why we'll be on college and university campuses this fall calling on them to make the same commitment.
We can debate the nitty gritty details of getting those last few percentage points from solar and wind, but let's not lose sight of the fact that it needs to happen. We don't have much time to lose, so let's get to work.
