There is something very decadent about Tiffin, and this version is no exception. In fact, given that these chocolate treats are equal parts gooey, chewy, and crunchy, I might even say they were my favourite iteration of this teatime treat. I suppose you could refer to them as refrigerator bars, or perhaps even the British equivalent of Rocky Road (only without the marshmallows) you'd be wrong. I'm not sure how, but Tiffin is in a class of its own.
This is a very simple version of Tiffin, but it's simplicity means that the flavours all come through without being muddied. The gooeyness comes from the base of sugar and chocolate flavours. The chewiness comes from dried fruit; I've gone with Sultanas as they are a personal favourite and always in the cupboard, but raisins are perhaps the more traditional choice. Finally, the crunch comes from broken pieces of biscuit.
Perhaps these don't count as actual baking, but this recipe is too good not to share. I can't really explain how delicious these are, but trust me – you will love these little squares of chocolaty delight.
This recipe calls for Rich Team biscuits in the base, which have just the right ratio of absorbency to crunchiness. If you can't get your hands on Rich Tea, any hard, not-too-sweet biscuit will do.
Breaking up the biscuits can only really be undertaken with a rolling pin and some elbow grease – using a blender will give you too fine, too uniform a finish, whereas what you really want is a variety of sizes, from crumbs to chunks. You really want a used good quality sealable freezer bag with all the excess air squeezed out – anything less robust may burst, leaving you with crumbs everywhere.
The original recipe measures both the sugar and the drinking chocolate (the sweetened variety you make with milk, not water) in dessert spoons, which gives a lot of leeway on the actual amount used. I like to use heaping spoonfuls, and have dutifully weighed these out to give you the measurements below. These figures can be played with a bit – although adding too much of the dry ingredients will lead to a crumblier slice that may fall apart.
Recipe: – makes 16
110g / 4 oz unsalted butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 dessert spoons (35g) brown sugar
3 dessert spoons (50g) drinking chocolate
110 / 4 oz sultanas or raisins
225g / 8oz rich tea biscuits
To top:
100g milk chocolate
100g dark chocolate
Lightly grease a 9″/22cm square tin.
Place the biscuits into a good quality freezer bag with a seal. Flatten to remove any excess air before sealing. Using a rolling pin, crush the biscuits until broken up, leaving some larger pieces in amongst the crumbs.
Break up the milk and dark chocolate into pieces and place in a bowl over very hot (but not boiling) water to melt. Stir occasionally until melted.
In a separate large saucepan, melt the butter, syrup, sugar and drinking chocolate together, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in the broken biscuits and your dried fruit, and keep stirring until everything is covered in the butter-chocolate mixture.
Carefully tip this biscuit mix into your prepared tin and press down using the back of the wooden spoon. This can be fiddly as the mixture will be sticky and try to lift itself back out, so having a spare spatula to hand may help.
Pour the melted chocolate over the top. Refrigerate for 45 minutes to allow the base and the chocolate to set.
Remove from the fridge and allowing to come back up towards room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting into slices to prevent the chocolate from shattering. To slice, loosen the sides with the tip of a sharp knife then tip out from the pan onto a cutting board. Cut the tiffin while it is still chocolate side down to prevent it from breaking apart. This recipe is for 16, however as these are super rich, you may even prefer to divide it into 20 or even 25 pieces.
These can keep up to three days in an airtight container. If the weather is warm, consider keeping them in the fridge, otherwise they can start to crumble.

Ventana 'Relativity'
Ventana 'Relativity'B06 RELATIVITY
The Ventana 'Relativity' features a beautiful frame in hand-forged, heat-blued 'Croc Skin' damascus steel, inlaid with a mesmerizing meteorite scale (a section of the Gibeon meteorite which fell in the desert of Namibia in prehistoric times). The blade is 'Wave' damascus with an extra strong core in ZDP-189; the two-hand button lock is set with ruby.
The Ventana folding knife is our homage to the classic gentlemen's pocket knives of a bygone era. The picture-window cutouts in the frame reveal the rare and exotic inlays that are one of the hallmarks of William Henry's collections.
The 'Relativity' features a perfect synthesis of artistry, function, rare and exotic materials; a distinctive personality statement to be worn and used for a lifetime.
Features & Specs
- Two hand button lock
- Leather carrying case
- Shipped in an elegant wood presentation box
- Dimensions:
Blade 2.50" (63.5mm)
Handle 3.13" (79.5mm)
Overall open 5.60" (142.2mm)
Wave Damascus with ZDP-189
William Henry's patent pending Wave Damascus features a ZDP-189 core (HRC 67) clad with alternating layers of stainless steel and nickel silver. The billet, 45 layers in all, is patterned with a custom die to create the undulating waves that emerge across the bevels of the blade. This material can be dark-etched for contrast, or etched and re-polished for a more subtle pattern.
Hand-forged damascus
Damascus steel was a term used by several Western cultures from the Medieval period onward to describe a type of steel created in India and used from about 300 BC to 1700 AD. These blades were characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. They were reputed to be not only tough and resistant to shattering, but capable of being honed to a sharp and resilient edge. William Henry's damascus is made from several types of steel welded together to form a billet.
The patterns vary depending on how the damascus artist works the billet. The billet is drawn out and folded until the desired number of layers are formed. William Henry damascus billets are forged with a minimum of 300 layers. William Henry works with a handful of the very best damascus artists/forgers in the U.S.
William Henry uses beautiful sections of the Gibeon Meteorite, which fell in prehistoric times in Namibia. It was named after the nearest town: Gibeon
The fragments of the meteorite in the strewn field are dispersed over an elliptical area 171 miles long and 62 miles wide; it was discovered by the local Nama people and used by them to make tools and weapons.
In 1836 the English captain J. E. Alexander collected samples of the meteorite and sent them to London. There John Herschel analyzed them and confirmed for the first time the extraterrestrial nature of the material.
The Gibeon meteorite is composed of an iron-nickel alloy containing significant amounts of cobalt and phosphorus. The crystal structure of this meteorite provides a fine example of the Widmanstätten patterns: these figures of long nickel-iron crystals are of extraterrestrial origin, and cannot occur naturally on earth. As a purely natural material, the patterns may include small inclusions, distinctive and unique to each item we produce.
A ruby is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide). Ruby is one of the most historically significant colored stones. It is mentioned four times in the Bible, in association with attributes like beauty and wisdom. In the ancient language of Sanskrit, ruby is called ratnaraj, or "king of precious stones."
The name ruby comes from the Latin word ruber, which means "red." The glowing red of ruby suggested an inextinguishable flame burning in the stone, even shining through clothing and able to boil water.

Casino Royale New Year's Eve Party December 31, 2017 9 p.m.
For Bond fans who were monitoring the week by week rumours and drama that occupied the long gap between "Die Another Day" (2002) and its eventual successor "Casino Royale" (2006) four years later, a common thread that wove itself through the drawn out pre-production of Daniel Craig's debut was Quentin Tarantino and his quest to direct a Bond movie.
It was easily written off as hot air and tabloid fodder by many at the time, but the film's director Martin Campbell has now confirmed that Tarantino was in play, and even bid on the film rights.
Campbell explained the backstory to the 21st Bond film to the Daily Express newspaper, "Casino Royale was not going to be the next film.
They were developing another [original] script but then, after a long battle, the Broccoli's suddenly got the film rights to the first Bond novel Casino Royale, despite Quentin Tarantino bidding against them." Tarantino went public in 2004 stating a desire to make "Casino Royale" a period piece, set in the 1960's, with Pierce Brosnan in the lead role.
After being shot down as a directorial prospect by EON Productions, it is now revealed that Tarantino tried to secure the rights to the book himself.
Ian Fleming's first novel was not included in the original deal struck by EON Productions founders Albert R. This omission lead to the 1967 spoof film starring David Niven.
Campbell continued, "The script being developed was an original story in which James Bond isn't the character we know today but someone younger and more screwed up.
Pierce Brosnan was getting on for 49 or something, and clearly too old to play the younger Bond so they decided to go in a different direction." As for Tarantino, he is still upset at losing out on the chance to put his stamp on the Bond franchise, saying: "It would have been my James Bond film and not a Cubby Broccoli Bond film and I would have done it with Pierce Brosnan." He continues to claim that, if it were not for him making the suggestion, "Casino Royale" would not have been filmed as the 21st adventure.
After introducing two new actors to the role of James Bond, Campbell says he is not considering a return for a third film as director, despite being offered the job.
"It is always the same story about Bond stopping a nutcase taking over the world and you can only blow up a control room so many times," he said.
But despite his simplified view of the repeated formula, he thinks there are many more years in the spy yet.

Praise God for the sending of his Son, Jesus Christ the boss, king, saviour, and coming judge of every person.
What a busy and exhausting month!
Among the busyness, we got our photo taken in the nativity scene at St Paul's Cathedral (opposite Fed Square):
Better than a photo with Santa! In fact Channel Nine were there doing a news story that involved shots and interviews with us. You can download the digital version of the news item here (40 meg!) – this version contains extra interview footage that wasn't shown on channel 9. (let me know if you have problems viewing this mpeg video file)
Our kids have really got into the Christmas story this year, they play-act with our nativity set non-stop. Here is what it currently looks like:

I have written many research papers during my college years in both Korea and the U.S. However, I didn't know that research papers have strategies that make them better papers. Although I wasn't aware of those writing techniques, I have actually received good grades on my previous papers. I think that the good results came because I found good research topics. I strongly believe that good research topics bring half of the work already done for you. Now, I have a topic that is related to researching strategies. I worried about the fact that my topic was in a question style, therefore I would have to derive some results and find answers of the question. I also have an uncertain feeling of my answers in my mind. It's time to write the draft. However, before starting the research paper, I will find more detailed information that prove my answers against my question-like topic. I believe that I have a good topic and it will be of great help for my writing.

Colorwork Hat
I know, I said last week about how I wanted to knit more big scale projects, and the next few posts will be accessories. But I have pulled out a few skeins of the yarn that will become a sweater for J, which means the sweater is practically done, right? Ah, well.
If you ever make hats and don't have the book "Hats On!", I'd highly recommend it. I've knit several of the patterns and have enjoyed them all. One nice thing about the book is that Charlene Schurch did such an excellent job of making each hat in various sizes. This makes it pretty easy to mix-and-match patterns, because you can look through the book to find something that will work with, say, 140 stitches for the particular head and yarn that you're using. This hat is a mixture of two patterns from the book, with further minor adjustments for the tighter gauge I used. The earflaps and crown shaping are from the Danish Earflap Cap, while the X pattern is the alternate colorwork pattern for the Lusekofte Hat, which J preferred over the snowflake pattern on the earflap cap.
I really like the way the earflaps are constructed. The stitches you cast on form the inner hem, and the earflaps are formed one at a time using short rows. If you've ever done a short-row toe or heel on a sock, it's exactly the same thing. Then after you knit the remainder of the hem (some of which is colorwork here), you pick up stitches from the cast on edge and knit them together with the live stitches to seal up the hem. It's a technique I learned about in this book and have used on a number of other projects.
I used navy Dale Falk left over from the toddler rainbow sweater, and bought a skein of gray Falk to coordinate. I knit it at a somewhat tighter gauge than listed on the ball band–I think I was using US 2's, since I wanted it to be fairly windproof.
The end result was very successful. J had expressed interest in having a tassel on top and ties for the ear flaps, but I didn't have a chance to make either, or even to wash and block the hat, because as soon as I wove in the ends he put it on his head and pretty much hasn't taken it off since. (He's since decided that it doesn't need them.)
He likes that the fabric is stiff enough to allow him to do this with the earflaps when he's indoors:
When he walked into knitting group like that I could see several people trying to figure out how I had shaped the earflaps so as to get them to stick out like that.
Learning to Unlearn
There's this concept in educational psychology that sometimes an apparent backsliding of abilities is actually linked to having taken a big step forward in understanding the conceptual framework behind the thing you've been doing. (There's even a word for it, which I wish I could fish out of my head.)
Over the weekend, Toddler apparently figured out a general rule of plurals–that you can add an S to the word and then it means more than one. (I even tried the Wug Test, which he passed after a few minutes of thinking about it.)
If English wasn't so darn complicated, he'd be done with plurals.
The only reason I noticed this developmental leap is that last night, while brushing his teeth, he looked in the mirror and pointed into his mouth. "One, two, three, foh tooth-es. Five tooths. Teeth-es. Mommy, five tooth-es?"
My brain just about imploded with developmental geekdom.
The most interesting thing, to me, was that he tried not only "tooths" but "teeths". Which means that he already knows the correct plural of "tooth". A week ago, he would have used the word "teeth" grammatically. This week, teeth-es. A mistake, but a mistake that lays out the workings in his head really clearly, and shows that he just learned a rule that will apply to about 95% of the nouns he'll use. Before, he had separately memorized tooth/teeth and cup/cups and dog/dogs and deer/deer and box/boxes and spoon/spoons and all of the other nouns he knows. Knowing that there's one rule and a few exceptions is easier to remember in the long run, but now he's got to learn the exceptions all over again.
This being, in theory, a fiber-arts blog, I'm thinking about the ways this hooks into things I've seen from folks learning to spin. I think the important takeaway is this: Our brains love rules, but rules often fail us in unexpected ways.
For example: a person learns one way of putting twist into fiber to make yarn and posts a video that only demonstrates that way of doing it. Beginning spinners get that far, try it, get the idea, but then come up against various limitations of that technique (a few examples: denseness of final yarn, inability to spin thinner, being comparatively slow and unwieldy, and the fact that the technique only works for top or batts, not any carded preps like roving or rolags that can't be stripped in the same way.)
In order to get over those obstacles, the beginning spinner needs to develop the ability to draft while there's already twist coming at them, which is a hugely more flexible technique. Getting the hang of dealing with active twist is related to figuring out a whole bunch of spinning things–it's the equivalent of figuring out that most plurals consist of the base word with an "s" on the end. But the first attempts, like "teeth-es", are probably going to be more wobbly than keeping drafting and twist insertion as totally separate entities.
Grownups don't get to spend as much time in the "beginner's mind", and often have a really hard time trusting in the fact that the short-term setback in quality will lead to a longer-term gain in overall ability.
Another example: The last time I remember hitting on a fiber-related stumbling block like this was when I got my charkha and started spinning cotton. The leap to one-handed double-drafting was pretty ugly, but it meant that I could spin cotton WAY faster, and led to being able to draft wool faster on a flyer wheel, in spite of the fact that I still can't reliably do one-handed double-drafting with wool on the flyer wheel. But my brain and hands somehow translated SOMETHING from one to the other.
Anything that you're unlearning in your life now?
2012 in Review (Spinning)
Same idea as the knitting review, but for spinning. Here's what I've finished spinning in the past year, and what I notice when looking at it in aggregate.
-Aqua/Lime Batt, 2 ounces, 150 yards:
-Spot Hollow Jacob, 8 ounces, 300 yards:
-Trillium, 4 ounces, 415 yards:
-Lobba, 4 ounces, 225 yards:
-Silk singles, 225 yards, 2 ounces:
-Rainbow yarn, 300 yards, 4 ounces, and various plied scraps, of 45, 40, 180, 50 yards respectively (and another 100 yards not shown):
-BFL, about 400 final yards out of a sweater-sized lot:
-Tartan, 4 ounces, 210 yards:
-Silver Batt, 4 ounces, 270 yards:
-Yak/merino, 3 ounces, 195 yards:
-Superwash wool, 3.8 ounces, 315 yards (no completed picture yet):
And some shop samples that haven't been washed or photographed. And a bunch of samples from Abby Franquemont's class in November (which I should talk about here because it was wonderful.)
Hot diggity. Apparently I spun about more completed yardage than I knit. That may explain the relatively low knitting output. A few of these things went into knitted projects or were given as gifts, but most of them are waiting for me in the stash. I thought the fiber box was looking a little thin, and now I know why.
Here's where my spinning goals and knitting goals may interface a little funny. I had mentioned in the last entry that I'd like to knit a few larger-scale projects, but the handspun I'm the most excited about is the colorful, smaller-scale skeins. I did a lot of experimentation with color and how to control handdyed fibers this year, and I want to know how all those things came out before I go spouting off too much about good ways of doing these things. And I have a few more of those experiments to go before I'll REALLY be ready to write or teach or communicate about them.
I did a lot of what I'd think of as "comfort zone spinning" this year; same as the knitting. 2 and 3 ply sport to worsted weight stuff that is fun to spin while not adding much to my repertoire. I did enjoy the experimentations with color that I did, but I mostly kept the spinning to stuff I'm pretty used to. I have a singles-heavy project that I just started working on that should expand my horizons a bit. I'm okay with what I've been making, though, so my main goal may be to knit up more of my handspun and learn more about it from that end. I'm okay with having a knitting-heavy year.
2012 in review (Knitting)
A chance for me to see a bigger picture.
I go through phases where I feel like I'm spinning my wheels in terms of craft. Toddler has been going though a phase of un-awesome sleep combined with a phase of all-Mommy-all-the-time, and I haven't been getting much creative work done as a result. It's a good time of year to actually assess output and see where I could go in the next year.
A hat for J (He started wearing it immediately off the needles so I haven't had a chance to block and photograph it yet, but a post will be coming soon.)
5 Mason Jar covers (4 pictured, one more was knit and given too fast to take a picture):
Eze Shawlette:
Never-worn Rainbow Sweater (not that I'm bitter):
Paxton for Hunter:
Vest for Lydia:
Vest for no one in particular:
Hitchhiker v.2:
Braided ball:
Hitchhiker v.1:
Hoodie for Charlotte:
Springsteen-inspired hat for Unca Billy:
Year of the Kid Sweater, I think. And shawls.
That's an average of one thing (or set of things) per month, which is actually way more than I expected to see. There are a lot of gifts that were sent out almost immediately upon completion, which may be why it doesn't feel like much, because I don't *see* them all the time. There are also a lot of smaller items–all those one or two skein projects, and I often don't give those the same level of consideration that I do to a large shawl or sweater. More than half of them involved a significant contribution from my handspun, though, and I only bought commercial yarn for one of the projects. This seems about right.
Looking through the group does clarify some things that I'd like to do this year. I have several sweater-scale quantities of handspun. Both the larger scale of a full-size sweater and the exclusive use of handspun in a big project appeal to me.
Also, what the heck, it's been a ridiculously long time since I've knit socks. I got some really lovely sock yarn at the yarn swap this summer, so maybe that'll happen.
The baby sweater craze is not likely to abate anytime soon; I actually have some yarn balled up and another baby project for another baby of friends is next on my list.
And someday, though maybe not this year, I'd like to knit something that the Toddler will deign to wear. (He's been getting more interested in the pointy sticks recently. "Mommy knittin'," he'll say, and wave his arms in a fair approximation of what I'm doing.)
Quick Gift
My knitting group has been going through a certified Cuppow craze. Cuppows are small plastic lids that turn wide-mouthed Mason jars into travel mugs. They're convenient and cute and ecologically minded and cleverly-named, and so are just about the most Ithaca thing imaginable. (There's even now a locally made version made of metal being sold at the co-op, for those who avoid plastics.) Their use spread like wildfire in the knitting group, to the point where we all went in on a large wholesale purchase together.
It being a knitting group, within a few weeks, everyone had designed their own way of protecting the jar and displaying their knitting. L's had no bottom, K's and a different K's had bases and started from the bottom, but involved different numbers of yarn strands, needles, and stitches cast on, and at least one other person's made some but I don't see them in her projects. I worked mine top-down and played around with various stripe and stitch patterns so as to use up leftovers.
I was able to complete a whole one of these in a single knitting group session, so they're a ridiculously quick knit and are GREAT for very small bits of leftovers. The gray stripe in the last cozy came from a ball of yarn about the diameter of a quarter and ended up looking perfectly at home.
The stitch patterns and yarn combos were made up more or less totally on the fly. I was really happy with how they came out, and the recipients seemed to enjoy them too. I also think this would be a good project for beginner handspun, where you could actually handle it and enjoy it all the time. A winner all around.
Combined with a Mason jar full of tea-making supplies and a Cuppow, they're a quick, inexpensive, homey gift. We're always trying to make the holidays more homemade, and these fit in pretty well with the Apple butter and the local wines and the handsewn gift bags.
Mason Jar Sleeve
Fits a standard wide-mouth Mason jar.
-Ability to do, or willingness to learn: knitting in the round, decreases, colorwork (optional).
-Between 0.5 and 0.75 ounces of worsted weight yarn, or about 50 yards.
-Size 8US needles, either double-pointed or an appropriate combination of circulars to deal with small circumferences. (Gauge about 4 st/inch, 6 rows/inch, but it's pretty forgiving.)
Cast on 36 stitches, and join without twisting.
Knit 5 rows of garter stitch, then begin stockinette section. The stockinette section can be a chance to sample a colorwork pattern you've been thinking of, or simply knit a plain or striped stockinette pattern that is pleasing to you.
Knit for about 4 inches.
Purl one round, then knit one round even. (This will form a neat turn for the base of the sleeve.)
Decrease 4 stitches evenly across every round until you have 8 stitches. Cut a long yarn tail, thread it through the last stitches, and pull tight. Throw it in the wash for a cycle to full slightly if it seems loose.
In early November I went on a short business trip that involved about 10 hours on a bus and plenty of downtime in between.
I usually turn to shawls when this happens, and this time was no different.
The Eze shawlette was in the holiday issue of IK that I'd picked up shortly before my trip, and the short but still non-repeating pattern appealed to me. The Yak-merino that I spun up this past spring seemed like it would go well, so on the most total of total whims, I grabbed the skein, the copy of IK, and a pair of needles that seemed about right on my way out the door.
Working on the project provided was exactly what I'd hoped for–a pleasant layer of complexity, but very easy to work on in little bits of time or in long stretches on the bus between naps. The yarn doesn't shed as much as I'd feared, though the yak does obscure the lace just a bit.
I made a slight modification to the pattern by repeating one section of lace because I wanted to use up all of the yarn. Of course, then I had been about one row over-optimistic and needed to end the lace pattern one row before the end. Not too bad, though–the droplets look like hanging bells instead.
This was a really fast knit. I started it on a Wednesday and wove in all the ends at the next Saturday's spinning guild meeting. Amazing what 48 hours more-or-less to oneself will do, even when one is spiraling down into a bad cold. (Maybe because of that; I was all on my own in NYC and went to bed at 6pm. Plenty of cozy knitting time.)
The shawl seemed very small when finished, but opened up enough after blocking to be okay, though still quite small. If I were to knit it again, I'd start with more yardage and plan on adding a few repeats in.
What Happened?
I blinked and suddenly hadn't posted in 2 months. Partly working on holiday-related projects, partly the spate of birthdays and Hannukahs and Hogswatches and Festivuses, partly a family-wide cold that lasted approximately one geologic age.
(A conversation with the toddler's pediatrician 3 weeks in, a point at which Theo got mildly wheezy:)
Me: "We all have that cold that lasts forever right now."

text: By Carlos Alberto Gomez Living standards for Peruvian people were unbearable in the late 1980s due to an unmanageable debt and hyper-inflation. The two administrations prior to the crisis of the 80's dealt lethal blows to the Peruvian economy: General Alvarado and his staff applied a realist form of policy-making which emphasized protectionism and questioned foreign assistance. Belaunde succeed General Alvarado in 1980 and began to implement a liberal model of economy by eliminating tariffs and getting Peru to re-join the international economic field. The latter administration resulted in a collection of weakened industries that were softened by government protections, which the former then opened to the world market. From timber to agriculture, no Peruvian industry withstood the shock of entering a highly competitive world market. Only Fujimori's stringent shock economy in the early 1990's managed to get Peru of out the downward spiral. During the 1960s an export-led economy was designed by the administration of Fernando Belaunde. The Belaunde administration aimed to liberalize the major industries of Peru in an effort to get the country out of poverty. Unfortunately his efforts were cut short when a military coup led by General Alvarado removed Belaunde from office. Alvarado Velasco reformed the economy of Peru through substantially different policies than anything Peru had seen before. Initially Alvarado created land reforms that removed land from the few landowners and redistributed the plots among the peasantry. Eventually his administration de-privatized many aspects of the economy. His reforms resulted in both the weakening of the wealthy ruling class and in making those same elites enemies of his government. His military regime then initiated import substitute industrialization, which aimed to protect local markets by raising tariffs on foreign imported goods. The reforms were relatively successful, but due to the heavy borrowing Velasco undertook to initiate such drastic changes to Government policy Peru became even more in debt than before. The oil crisis of 1973 topped off the economic problems, and inflation began to surge in Peru. By the time democracy was reinstituted in the 1980s, the economy had suffered immensely. Alvarado's economic policies of removing land from elite landowners made conditions worse for the masses. The wealthy ruling class had the technology to develop agriculture to a western standard. Smaller plots divided among more people were much less productive and the agriculture industry almost collapsed. Increased government spending resulted in the debt growing to an unmanageable level. The same people who Alvarado aimed to protect and benefit were the people that opted to remove him from power in a bloodless coup. After the military ruler was ousted Belaunde was reelected and democracy returned to Peru in 1980. Belaunde quickly began to liberalize the economy. This led to the privatization of over two thirds of the economic sectors in Peru. Foreign based companies controlled the major export businesses of mining and fishing. Wealth began flowing in but it was only reaching the elite ruling class that advocated laissez-fair economic policies. For the large poor masses distribution of wealth was not improved once again. Belaunde promised that the tough economic times would eventually end and the growth of Peru would be significant enough to improve living standards for all Peruvians. Unfortunately his effort to liberalize the economy failed once again, but this time it wasn't due to factors within Peru. Belaunde's policies were beginning to work when a series of national natural disasters and international events devastated improvements and set the economy back once again. Beginning with a strong earthquake in 1983 and continuing with a series of strong storms, the infrastructure and agriculture of Peru was devastated. Furthermore the international price for the major products Peru exported dropped: the United States, Europe and Australia subsidized their agricultural industries. As a result two of Peru's major exports, potatoes and sugar, were devastated when the price for their world price dropped. The World Bank provides some statistics that explain what the situation in Peru was beginning in 1980. The Per Capita GDP was $2,569, but note that the large disparity between the rich and the poor makes this figure appear to be higher for the average Peruvian. The population was becoming increasingly urbanized with 62% of everyone living in a large city (namely the capital Lima where 30% of the entire population resides). The amount of borrowing amounted to more than 473 million dollars, yet the infrastructure was still weak. The problem was that most of the money being borrowed was used to alleviate existing and failing institutions, not to build new institutions that would eventually free the country from poverty. For example the police force had to be funded with borrowed money because inflation was beginning to cause instability within the poorest of the poor. There are some unintended side effects that come from borrowing from the IMF. Because the IMF has become known as the 'lender of last resort' whenever a country borrows from the IMF automatically it is labeled too 'risky' for regular investors. Conditions are at their worse so no one is willing to risk loaning or investing in Peru. In any case the infrastructure was only being repaired, but not improved by the loans from the IMF. There were only 17 phone lines for every 1,000 people in 1980! The infrastructure was weak enough to cause 126 deaths for every 1000 infants born due to inadequate medical facilities. In 1983 because of the natural disasters and international events real wages dropped, per capita GDP was now at $2,244, down from $2,686 just two years prior. Inflation for consumer products increased 52% from 1981-1983. Naturally these two figures show a decline in living conditions that continued until about 1987 when slowly the economy began to recover. In 1987 inflation decreased by 25%. The only option Belaunde's government had been to borrow once again, just like Velasco. The Peruvian people opted for Belaunde to be reinstated because of his harsh criticism of Velasco's heavy borrowing, but once again forces outside of Peru's control lead to a period of intense borrowing from the IMF. National debt increased from just fewer than 10 billion in 1980 to more than 13 billion. Instability under Belaunde's administration began to rise as living conditions decreased. A professor in the University of Humanga founded the group "Sendero Luminso" which opened a campaign of terror against Belaunde. Many young males in remote and tropical areas of Peru were attracted by the prospect of change for the better that the SL promised so recruiting was highly successful. Belaunde's administration was incapable of dealing with the guerilla group at least for the first couple of years. The organization was successful in disrupting the daily procession of government functions, so successful in fact that their results prompted Belaunde to assign the military to counter-insurgency. Their tactics were heavily criticized in the international community due to perceived human rights violations: military personnel were not careful in distinguishing between true guerilla fighters and ordinary citizens. The result for Peru was staggering: more than 5,000 people died in the fighting and over a billion dollars in collateral damage was done to an already ailing infrastructure. The increasing popularity of the SL combined with a deteriorating economy and bad government policies led to skyrocketing inflation in the early 1990s. By 1991 inflation had increased more than 7,000% and per capita GDP decreased to 1,908 (down from 2,643 in 1987!). The populist administration of Alan Garcia Perez disappointed the 48% of the population that voted for him due to a lackluster performance and inability to curb the rising inflation and declining living conditions. Possibly among the few good elements of the Belaunde and Garcia administration is the increased use of democracy to enact changes in government policy. While the SL became more popular, the majority of Peruvians opted to vote rather than support the insurgent group. Garcia's term ended with the economy running in the same direction of hyper-inflation that had began with Belaunde's administration. The two main candidates were Fujimori and Llosa. Interestingly, Fujimori won the election not so much because he was the more appealing candidate, but because people didn't want Llosa in power. The reason was that Llosa proposed a severe and difficult program to end hyperinflation by raising consumer product prices, lower interest rates, opening the economy to trade, and increasing the privatization of industries in Peru. Yet once Fujimori was in power he enacted the same finance program to end hyperinflation that Llosa was advocating. Fujimori's administration saw this as the only viable option in order to change the economic deterioration of Peru. For the duration of the 'shock' economy living conditions were made worse, but civil instability declined. Fujimori's stern rule and policies did in fact slow down inflation and began to recover the economy. Between 1990 and 1992 inflation decreased by an incredible 7,408%, but per capita GDP decreased to $1,863. With inflation curbed however, slowly per capita GDP began to painfully increase; in fact by 1996 it climbed back to $2,263 (just $306 less than the rate in 1980 or the rate before the beginning of economic decline). Fujimori's economic reforms, gradual civil unrest decline due to a decrease of hyper-inflation, and scarce natural disasters allowed the economy to recover to levels just under those of 1980. The per capita GDP was $2,344 and inflation for consumer products was reduced to a mere 4%. The recovery allowed Peru to re-enter the international economic field and investors slowly began to return. Even the national debt was reduced: Peru used $350,000,000 less in IMF loans from 1998 to 2000. In addition, new medicines imported from the west allowed for a significant increase in living conditions, even without the per capita GDP of 1980. For example infant mortality rate in 1980 was 89 deaths per 1,000 babies. Yet by 2000 the number was reduced by over 50% to a mere 40 deaths per 1,000 babies. Even the literacy rate increased from 79% of all adults over the age of 15 in 1980 to 90% in 2000. The technologies imported from the Western nations allowed for a increase in living conditions, even while real wages were not much better off than in 1980. Fujimori's liberalist economy was more successful than Belaunde's attempt because his measures were much more drastic. Belaunde attempted to end inflation and debt, but was careful not to eliminate all protections of the industry. In essence he was thinking like a politician. Fujimori almost immediately eliminated all protections (tariffs and subsidies). This eventually led to growth, but initially Peruvian people were forced to pay as much as 500% more for consumer products that suddenly cost as much as they did in the world market. Fujimori also temporarily shut down the Congress in order to pass legislation allowing security forces to increase the fight against the insurgent groups. While his tactics were less risk-averse they proved successful both in reforming the economy and curbing the crime and instability that limited growth. Fujimori's economic reform is considered liberalist because it was based on the integration of Peru to a world economic forum. Due to previous inflation, instability, protectionism, and debt Peru became a very uninviting place for foreign investment. Fujimori took Belaunde's vision further and established policies that successfully placed Peru on the world market. This is not to say that Bealunde's attempts at reform were not liberalist: when Belaunde privatized agriculture he did not intend to hurt the poor, he intended to make the agriculture more productive in Peru so that in the long run the poor could be benefited more in a wealthier economy. The problem with Belaunde's liberalist attempt was that privatization and deregulation were not taken far enough, so the result was that the poor were made worse off and the economy didn't recover. Natural disasters were partly to blame; the agricultural collapse due climate conditions could neither be predicted nor averted. General Alvarado's reform was a realist response to worsening conditions for the poor. Alvarado's administration saw the world market as a rival, in a sense it was 'every man for himself'. Thus import substitute industrialization was initiated and the trade borders of Peru were closed. Protectionist subsidies and tariffs were placed to protect local industries. In addition to all this the government redistributed land among the peasants. The result was significant increase in government spending while making the economic backbone of Peru weaker. Not only were the trade barriers resulting in foreign retaliatory moves (other countries closed their trade with Peru to retaliate) but also the agriculture became much less manageable and productive. The different economic policies that different administrations undertook display the difficulty a government faces when addressing economic deficits. For example the realist movement of General Alvarado served to increase the debt and move the country to hyper-inflation when the intention of the government was to 'protect' its people and industry from the instability of the world. Seeing the world as an enemy proved worse than trying to ally with it, at least in the long run. In the short run Belaunde attempted to make Peru a viable option for investors by initiation liberal policies, but due to economic and world market failures his attempts were futile: the economy was worse off than we he came in. Not until Fujimori initiation his shock economic policy did Peru begin to rise out of debt and see controlled growth. The intention of the government could be one in good faith, but there are many aspects that ultimately dictate how the economy of a country will wind up: in the case of Peru, conditions were not ready for a liberalist policy until the early 1990s. Had Fujimori attempted his shock economic policy before, it may not have been as successful. Peru began a steady growth of out its debt crisis thanks to the shock economy being implemented at the right time and under the right conditions. Peru's tragic history over the last two decades appears to be coming to an end with increase economic, and political stability. Natural epidemics like an outbreak of cholera have been reduced to a minimum thanks to medical technologies imported from the Western nations. All this goes to show that government policies can do a lot to alleviate the living standards of the masses when applied correctly and with a little luck from mother nature.

KUALA LUMPUR — August 4, 2015: The two-metre-long flaperon and several other metallic objects, if found to be connected to the vanished Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, may narrow down the search area for the aircraft.
"If the wreckage (discovered on Reunion Island) was indeed from Malaysia's missing jetliner, oceanographer's models could be used to narrow
down the areas being searched," a spokesman for Australia's Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) told Xinhua News Agency.
"Any new information that comes to hand that might help refine the search area will be incorporated into search planning. All information is analysed to further inform ongoing search efforts."
On Sunday, Malaysian Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai confirmed that the piece of wreckage was part of Boeing 777, but whether it was from MH370 had yet to be ascertained.
Speculation is rife that the flaperon is from MH370 since it is the only Boeing 777 plane whose flight path was presumed to have ended somewhere in
the southern Indian Ocean.
The verification process of the flaperon is planned to begin in Toulouse tomorrow.
On March 8 last year, MH370 disappeared from the radar while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew. — Bernama

Hi, I'm Will, a recent maths graduate from the University of Warwick. It's not long ago that I was studying at school myself so I remember exactly what did and didn't work for me when it came to learning tough concepts. While I was at uni I led a class of first year students studying for their exams, so I've helped students jump just about every kind of maths and science related hurdle out there! I'm here to give you hour long sessions of guided exercise questions and in-depth explanations, as well as to answer whatever questions you may have - I know it's a cliche but no question, big or small, is a stupid question!
|University of Warwick
|University of Oxford
|Mathematical and Computational Finance
My tutoring experience ranges from helping my brothers out with their GCSE maths and physics exams, to teaching calculus to a class of 20 first year undergraduate students. While at school I was a physics mentor and took a struggling younger student under my wing through his GCSE preparations, helping him get a C in his final exam so he could stay at the school for sixth form. Whether it's teaching a large class or one-on-one sessions, I've found that the best way to learn maths (or science) is to do maths. By this I mean taking an active role as the student; sitting back and watching your teacher answer questions never worked for me, and in my experience doesn't work for others! The approach that's worked best with my students is to aim the pupil in the right direction and offer a helping hand along the way when needed. That way, when it comes to the exam and the training wheels need to come off, they can go with no support!

UFO accounts and close encounters with extraterrestrials are often spectacularly mystifying, but they aren't always terrifying–mainly, because we associate aliens with advanced beings, not actual monsters or beasts, though there are almost certainly trillions of unimaginably horrifying alien creatures spread out across our universe, beings we can't even fathom. The case of Flatwoods, West Virginia is an example of terrifying possible encounter with a UFO.
The story was first reported on September 12, 1952 by a group of youngsters, who at first thought a meteor was landing on a hillside. A larger group of witnesses soon gathered, including a neighbor and her two sons and a National Guardsman. All of these witnesses reported observing the same incredible phenomenon at the top of the hill: a pulsating globe about the size of a house.
Here's where the story takes a scary turn. Evidently, as the observers tried to shine a flashlight, they became aware of a creature with animal eyes in the trees nearby. The creature was described by witnesses as being 10 to 15 feet tall with a "blood red face" and "glowing, greenish-orange eyes."
The monster evidently "floated" towards them, at which point the observers ran away screaming.
A later investigation of the site yielded some strange details, namely parallel skid marks, a large circle of flattened grass and an odd, metallic odor that remained there for days.
It's also worth pointing out that this UFO sighting was part of a stunning wave of other sightings that occurred during this same period of time.

We're streaming the destruction of the Dome in Central Bakersfield. They're expected to bring the whole thing down today. We're not sure when it's going to happen, so we're just going to enjoy this view until it does happen.
The Dome's owner, Chencho Madera, confirmed with 23ABC that the Dome will be sold to the Geo Group. Madera says the Geo Group will tear down the Dome then work to expand the Mesa Verde ICE processing center.

Today if all the countries of the world decide to ban burqa being a tool of terrorism, there will be a lot of hue and cry but no one will be shocked. Even the most conservative Muslims will try to understand this action. Time has come when the line between the religious symbols and concepts and terrorists techniques is increasingly getting blurred. Like the concept of Jihad which has come to be used by terrorists for mass killing for political purposes, the symbol of burqa is also being used as terrorists' tool to facilitate their access to their target, normally a mass of innocent civilians.
The tragic suicide bombing incident of December 25, 2010 in Bajaur agency's HQ Khar claiming about 50 human lives was an attack by India-funded so-called Pakistani Taliban on a rival tribe as majority of the victims belonged to the local Salarzai tribe, which supported military action against the militants and formed a militia to force them from Bajaur. This suicide attack was conducted by a suicide bomber clad in a burqa normally worn by women of these most conservative Pashtun tribes.
The use of this lethal shroud first came to light in 2007 during the Lal Masjid operation in Islamabad when people saw on their television screens stick-carrying, burqa-clad human beings. Most people suspected then that given the height of these burqa-clad girls, they were clearly seen as tall and well-built male warriors. This chilling apprehension was soon confirmed when the senior maulvi of the Mosque was caught fleeing the scene clad in an ill-fitted burqa. It was not difficult to spot him with his 6' plus height which is not common for ladies in this part of the world.
According to media reports, as up to 1000 people waited in the morning chill for food aid on Saturday, the attacker first hurled grenades into the crowd, then detonated explosives. Hours later police were still trying to determine whether the bomber was a woman or a man in disguise.
Witnesses described a horrific scene, with mangled bodies and bloodied clothing scattered over a wide area, and wounded people crying out for help. The most critically injured were taken to hospitals in Peshawar, the nearest large city. Officials said the death toll could rise. More than 300,000 people have been driven from their homes by a military drive against insurgents that began in 2008.

Book Courage Be Stepmom Long
Review of The Friendship Factor.
A positive book boosting the courage a stepmomneeds to start a new family.
The Courage to Be a Stepmom:Finding Your Place Without Losing Yourself
by Sue Patton Thoele
It takes courage from both parents to start a new family and a lot of that courage must come from mom. This is a positive book that puts many of the myths of stepmotherhood to rest.
It takes courage from both parents to start a new family but a lot of that courage must come from mom. Sue Thoele, a psychotherapist, mom, & stepmom, draws from her own experience as a stepmother to bring that courage to other stepmoms. She also uses interviews from over 30 other stepmothers to bring reality to the book.
The underlying premises of the book are
You have to be willing to grow yourself in order to promote growth in your stepfamily.
Being a stepmom is extremely challenging and is sometimes quite painful.
Being a stepmom is potentially quite rewarding as a life role.
You must take care of and nurture yourself for your own sake as well as the benefit of all family members.
Who's taking care of mom? Often no one.
Realistic tools are given for communication, priority setting and making a place for mom in the family.
The book also addresses stepmothers' commonly felt emotions–guilt, shame, grief, frustration, and fear–and offers hands-on advice for acknowledging and dealing with them.

Massive Israeli Strike on Gaza Strip - Cenk Uygur Rant Against Injustice
The operation, launched in response to days of rocket fire from the Palestinian territory, kicked off with the assassination of Hamas' top military commander and deepened the instability gripping the Mideast.
Three facts: The Israelis have oppressed the Palestinians in their own land since 1947, their leaders have sabotaged almost all attempts at peace over many decades, and they kicked off this latest round of violence by killing a child before the Palestinians shot up a jeep full of soldiers.

The west bank and gaza are like wild west towns where there are no sheriffs or police. The cattle barons hire hoodlums to shoot up the farmers in order to provoke them into doing something, anything that would then justify an overwhelming response. The goal with the cattle barons as with the Israelis, apparently, is land stealing.
So, how come the UN doesn't send in a police force? Instead, they pass resolutions they know the U.S. will squash and nothing will get done.

We only had to wait a day to see the true reason behind the website.
I should have guessed as much when I saw the primarily "Orange" colour in the Ads. Looks like the real estate business is not doing too well and hence they had initially gotten into the furniture business and now travel. Or is it that they have made so much money from the real estate business and don't know what to do with it! :-) Either way, all the folks who went to the website and spilt their hearts out should be feeling pretty letdown with the true intent of the website! Crap!

APPLETREEWICK's favourite acoustic duo Plumhall are teaming up with contemporary folk band Ranagri for two winter concerts.
Plumhall will play their regular Appletreewick venue the Cruck Barn with Ranagri on February 15 then both acts will perform at Bradford's Delius Arts and Cultural Centre on March 15.
Plumhall regularly organises gigs with well-known names at the Cruck Barn, part of the Craven Arms, playing the support slot themselves.
The act is made up of Michelle Plum who has played with the Chris Norman Band and Chumbawamba, and Magna Carta member Nick Hall.
The pair – who regularly play Haworth and Keighley venues – have guested with Al Stewart at the London Palladium, and appear in forthcoming film 'The Runaways' for which they wrote original music and arranged traditional music.
Nick said: "The two concerts will see true great acts coming together in the spirit of friendship and mutual respect. It will be a very welcome return to the Cruck Barn for the amazing Ranagri.
"Combining superb classical flute and harp playing, with fantastic singing, guitar-playing and percussion on beautiful, rousing and uplifting original songs and tunes, it's no wonder that Ranagri are Tony Christie's band of choice."
The contemporary folk band comprises musicians Dónal Rogers, Ellie Turner, Eliza Marshall and Joe Danks, who create new music with flutes, Irish whistles, electric harp, bodhran, guitars, bouzouki and voices.
Nick added: "The band fuse Celtic folk music with quality contemporary songwriting, enhanced by virtuosic instrumentals, vibrant rhythms and haunting melodies, all interlaced with vivid storytelling.
"They bring catchy hooks and sublime instrumental blends to traditional tunes as well as their original songs, characterised by Donal's ability to spin a great yarn, delivering the stories with crystal-clear vocal.
"Robust bass lines flow from Ellie's fingers at the electric harp, the perfect partner to Eliza's finessed flutes and whistles. Joe's' bodhran has a boisterous energy that takes the drum kit role and pays it forward with irresistable cross-rhythms and the addition of stomp box and African udu."
Ranagri will be showcasing new songs from their new freshly-wrapped fourth studio album, due out early this year, and songs from their critically-acclaimed releases 'Voices', 'Tradition' and 'Fort of the Hare'.
Plumhall will be the support act when Icicle Works singer Ian McNabb plays his annual 'Christmas gig' at the Cruck Barn on January 11, rescheduled from last month.

IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – A fire that authorities believe was intentionally started destroyed a vast collection of irreplaceable artwork in a home near Idaho Springs.
Friends of homeowner Dave Shelton say that he had spent the last 25 years hand-building the three-story log house that went up in flames Saturday. Shelton lost not only the home, but also a vast collection of art and family heirlooms that he carved by hand.
"(He's) a very talented carver," said Dale Plummer, a neighbor of Shelton.
As volunteer firefighters sprayed water onto the dirt Sunday, sunlight exposed some of the now charred wood carvings.
Shelton's Facebook page shows many photos of years sculpting the intricate artwork.
Hand-carved guitars, totem poles, and animal figurines were ruined by the blaze that deputies are investigating as arson.
Off-camera, Shelton told CBS4's Melissa Garcia that an evicted tenant is the suspect responsible for setting the house on fire.
A friend set up a GoFundMe campaign asking for donations to help Shelton get back on his feet.
The web page also posted a before-and-after photo of the property.
"(I'm) sorry Dave lost his house," Plummer said. "I mean, you can't express the feeling that you have about that."
Plummer worried that the flames would make their way down the entire mountain. Luckily, they didn't, leaving him grateful to firefighters for their work, to the county for calling in air support, and even to the alleged arsonist who apparently had a heavy conscience just moments after setting the home ablaze.
"Had he not called and said, 'I set this fire,' we all might be looking at frames," Plummer said.
Authorities took one person into custody but had not released his identity.
"What would possess somebody to burn somebody's house down? Something that you had built, yourself," Plummer added. "Dave will recover from this. Dave is a strong person. As strong as you can be when you've lost everything you own."
