To do paracord weaving, cut two pieces of the cord, one twice the length of the other, make a granny knot in the shorter cord, place the loop created on a suitable surface, and position the longer cord horizontally from the under the loop. Make half knots using both the cords, and finish by melting the cord's ends.Continue Reading
Cut the piece of the initial cord approximately 2 1/2 to 3 times longer than the desired length of the finished project. Cut the longer piece about 6 times the required length.
To make the granny knot in the shorter cord, fold the cord lengthwise in half, and bring its ends together. Then, bend the ends across the remaining portion of the cord to create a loop, insert the ends via the loop, and pull. This knots the ends, and makes a loop in the cord.
Now, place the cord with the loop on an even surface, with the knot-side pointing toward you. Position the longer cord beneath the loop so that its center rests approximately 1/2 inch away from the loop's midpoint. Lay the longer cord horizontally across the loop.
Next, bring the longer cord's left part beneath the loop and over its right part to create another loop. Then, bring the longer cord's right part over the loop at the center, and upwards via the loop created. Tug the right and left cords tightly to make a half knot.
Repeat the process for making half knots until the base of the loop is reached. To melt the cord's ends, use a lighter.Learn more about Crafting

The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks has identified the original location of two walleye that were discovered in Swan Lake in October 2015.
FWP biologists caught the walleye in Swan Lake during a gill-net operation. It marked the first time the species was discovered in the lake and raised concerns about the illegal introduction of yet another non-native fish in Montana's waters.
The research traced where the two fish were born and confirmed that they were not originally from Swan Lake. Microchemistry analysis of the calcium carbonate structure in the inner ear bones of the fish, known as otoliths, indicates they were introduced to the lake sometime in the spring of 2015.
According to a Facebook post from FWP, otoliths contain unique geochemical tracers from the water chemistry where the fish swims on a given day and these factors can be used to map the entire life history of a fish within a lake or river network.
FWP Fisheries Biologist Sam Bourret studied the walleyes' otoliths and compared them to others from 14 fisheries across the state. The research found a match: Lake Helena, which is located about 10 miles from Helena.
The information provides an important clue into the ongoing investigation of who illegally introduced the walleye, according to Bourret: "Illegal fish introductions are a huge problem both ecologically and socially, and fish managers have few tools to combat the pervasive issue. This research gives managers a tool in their arsenal to help convict perpetrators."
Approximately 600 confirmed illegal introductions have occurred in more than 250 water bodies across Montana, and half of these have occurred in Montana's portion of the Columbia River Basin.
"Our investigation continues and this technique provides important information that may result in catching those involved in the illegal introduction," FWP Region One Fisheries Manager Mark Deleray said. "We will be using this technique on other cases."
Illegal introductions can often lead to lost recreational fishing opportunities, as well as collapsing ecosystems and altered food webs. Walleye are highly predacious and could impact the native bull trout population, as well as the kokanee salmon fishery in Swan Lake.
A reward up to $35,250 is available for information leading to the conviction of whomever is responsible for the illegal introduction. The state of Montana offers rewards up to $15,250 for information about illegal fish introductions. Montana Trout Unlimited has pledged a reward of $20,000 for a tip that results in the conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for illegally introducing the walleye into Swan Lake.
Anyone with possible information on who introduced walleye into Swan Lake is encouraged to call 1-800-TIP MONT. Callers do not need to identify themselves and may be eligible for the cash reward.
"We need help from local citizens to catch those responsible for the illegal introduction," Deleray said. "We expect the large reward will result in information."
The Fish and Wildlife Commission approved a mandatory kill regulation for walleye in Swan Lake, Swan River, and their tributaries. All walleye caught by anglers must be kept and immediately killed. Walleye must be reported to FWP within 24 hours, and arrangements made for the entire fish to be turned into FWP within 10 days.

What is Hadoop?
Apache Hadoop is an 100% open source framework for distributed storage and processing of large sets of data. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

Dual Role Of Yahoo's Internal Hadoop Clusters On Deep Learning
Date Published: 16/2/2017
In the recent times, some IT outlet had either adopted a Hadoop cluster for production use or had a cluster build aside to investigate the puzzles of HDFS storage system or the MapReduce. During these past 5 years of time many large-scale companies had hadoop deployments in their work areas and exploited the crux of the datacenter by machine learning and more interpretation of data with deep learning. Yahoo, the land of Hadoop and MapReduce over a decade ago, has worked on the integration of deep learning of hadoop. Yahoo's chief internal cluster for research, production workloads, user data and now deep learning is all based on the hadoop-centered technology…Read more

The only predictable element of a marathon is the 26.2 mile distance.
Written by: Sabrina Grotewold
If predicting an Olympic marathon team were as simple as judging athletes based on their previous performances and what they've revealed to the media about their training and health leading up to the the Olympic Marathon Trials on Saturday in Houston, then the 2012 women's team would likely be: Shalane Flanagan, Desiree Davila and—after a battle among veterans—either Deena Kastor or Magdalena Lewy Boulet. However, the only predictable element of a marathon is the 26.2 mile distance. The talent in the women's race stretches pretty deep, and this warrants a synopsis of the top contenders to get a holistic look at who could vie for the top three.

Ghana Army
|Ghana Army
29 July 1959 – present
(59 years)
|Constitution of Ghana
|GAF Army Military Branch
|Ground Warfare
|Part of
|GAF; Ghanaian Ministry of Defence and GA Central Defence Headquarters
|Scarlet, Black and Dartmouth Green
|Chief of the Army Staff
|Major General William Azure Ayamdo
The Ghana Army (GA) is the main ground warfare organizational military branch of the Ghanaian Armed Forces (GAF). In 1959, two years after the Gold Coast obtained independence as Ghana, the Gold Coast Regiment was withdrawn from the Royal West African Frontier Force, and formed the basis for the new Ghanaian army. Together with the Ghanaian air force (GHF) and Ghanaian navy (GN), the Ghanaian army (GA) makes up the Ghanaian Armed Forces (GAF), controlled by the Ghanaian Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Central Defence Headquarters, both located in Greater Accra.
The command structure for the army forces in Ghana originally stemmed from the British Army's West Africa Command. Lieutenant General Lashmer Whistler was the penultimate commander holding the command from 1951 to 1953. Lt Gen Sir Otway Herbert, who left the West Africa Command in 1955, was the last commander.[1] The command was dissolved on 1 July 1956.[2]
In 1957, the Ghana Army consisted of its headquarters, support services, three battalions of infantry and a reconnaissance squadron with armoured cars. Total strength was approximately 5,700 men.[3] Partially due to an over-supply of British officers after the end of the Second World War, only 12% of the officer corps in Ghana, 29 officers out a total of 209 in all, were black Ghanaians at independence.[4] Under Major General Alexander Paley, there were almost 200 British Ghanaian officers and 230 warrant officers and senior commissioned officers posted throughout the Ghanaian Army.
Ghanaian Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah wished to rapidly expand and Africanise the army in order to support his Pan-African and anti-colonial ambitions. Thus in 1961, 4th and 5th Battalions were established, and in 1964 6th Battalion was established, from a parachute unit originally raised in 1963.[5] Second Infantry Brigade Group was established in 1961 to command the two battalions raised that year. However, 3rd Battalion was disbanded in February 1961 after an August 1960 mutiny while on Operation des Nations Unies au Congo service at Tshikapa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[6] The changeover from British to Ghanaian officers meant a sudden lowering of experience levels, training and professionalism.
The Ghanaian commanding officer of 3rd Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel David Hansen, had on appointment as battalion commander only seven years of military experience, compared to the more normal twenty years' of experience for battalion commanders in Western armies. He was badly beaten by his troops during the mutiny.[7] 4th Battalion was raised under a British commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Cairns, from the single company of the 3rd Battalion that had not mutinied.
Initial British planning by Paley before his departure in 1959 had provided for all British officers to be withdrawn by 1970; however, under pressure from Nkrumah, Paley's successor Major General Henry Alexander revised the plans, seeing all British personnel to depart by 1962. However, in September 1961, Alexander and all other British officers and men serving with the Ghanaian armed forces were abruptedly dismissed.[8] Nkrumah was determined to indigenize his armed forces fully, after some years of accelerated promotion of Ghanaian personnel.
Simon Baynham says that "the wholesale shambles which surely must have resulted from simply expelling the expatriate contract and seconded officers was averted by the arrival of Canadian military technicians and training officers."[9] Canadian training team personnel were assigned to the Military Academy (1961−1968), the Military Hospital, as Brigade Training Officers (1961−1968), to the air force, and later the Ministry of Defence (1963−1968), Ghana Army Headquarters (1963−1968) and the Airborne School.[10]
Matters deteriorated further after the coup that deposed Nkrumah. Colonel James Bond, the Canadian military attache, asked to write a report on how Canada could further assist the Ghanaian armed forces, wrote that 'during 1966 the preoccupation of.. senior officers with their civilian duties as members of the National Liberation Council and as regional administrators, resulted in an unconscious neglect of the welfare of the Army.'[11] Available able intermediate level officers had been assigned civilian administrative duties, leaving the army short.
Ghana has contributed forces to numerous UN and ECOWAS operations, including in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon, and Liberia (ECOMOG and UNMIL). Ghana contributed UN peacekeeping in UNAMIR during the Rwandan Genocide. In his book Shake Hands with the Devil, Canadian UNAMIR Force Commander Romeo Dallaire gave the Ghanaian soldiers high praise for their work during the conflict, in which the Ghanaian contingent lost 3 soldiers.
In accordance with an official statement issued on Wednesday, 22 March 2000 by the Secretary to the President, the commanders of the 1st Infantry Brigade Group in the south and the 2nd Infantry Brigade Group in the north were appointed General Officers Commanding the Southern and the Northern Commands of the Ghana Army.[12]
The Ghana army is divided into three (3) brigade sized "commands":
- Northern Command (Tamale)
- 6th Battalion, Ghana Regiment
- Airborne Force (One company sized formation each in Upper West and Upper East regions respectively).
- Central Command (Kumasi)
- 3rd Battalion, Ghana Regiment (Sunyani)
- 4th Battalion, Ghana Regiment (Kumasi)
- 2nd Reconnaissance Armoured Squadron (Sunyani)
- 2nd Signal Squadron (Kumasi)
- 2nd Field Workshop (Kumasi)
- 49th Engineer Regiment (Kumasi)
- 2nd Field Ambulance (Kumasi)
- 2nd Transport Company (Kumasi)
- 2nd Field Operations Center (Kumasi)
- Southern Command (Accra)
- 1st Battalion, Ghana Regiment (Tema)
- 2nd Battalion, Ghana Regiment (Takoradi)
- 5th Battalion, Ghana Regiment (Accra)
- 64th Infantry Regiment (Accra)
- 1st Reconnaissance Armoured Squadron and Reconnaissance Armoured Regiment HQ (Accra)
- 66th Artillery Regiment (Ho)
- 48th Engineer Regiment (Teshie)
- 1st Field Workshop (Accra)
- 1 Motor Transport Battalion (Accra)
The Ghanaian Army consists of three distinct infantry elements:
- Ghana Regiment – The major element of the army is the six light infantry battalions of the Ghana Regiment. Three battalions are assigned to each brigade.
- Airborne Force – The Airborne Force (ABF) is a battalion sized formation including a parachute trained company assigned to the Northern Command.
- 64 Infantry Regiment – 64 Infantry Regiment is the commando trained rapid reaction force assigned to the Southern Command (formerly known as President's Own Guard Regiment).
Combat Support[edit]
The Ghanaian Army has a number of units designated as combat support, including its armour, artillery, engineers and signals:
- Reconnaissance Armoured Regiment
- 48 Engineer Regiment (Teshie, Greater Accra Region)
- 49 Engineer Regiment
- 66 Artillery Regiment (Volta Barracks, Ho; formed 2004 from previous Medium Mortar Regiment)
- Signals Regiment (Accra)
- Logistics Group

UFC heavyweight Junior dos Santos' hopes of fighting rival Alistair Overeem were dashed this week when "The Demolition Man" was removed from their May 25 match-up at UFC 160 due to injury. Though a replacement was rumored, organization officials shot the notion down, saying the rumble would simply be rescheduled for later in the year.
However, the 15-2 Dos Santos doesn't appear to be on board with the company's plan and is itching to get back in the Octagon after losing the divisional belt to Cain Velasquez in late December. The Brazilian bomber recently took to Instagram to express his continued interest in action at the Memorial Day Weekend show.
"I'm training to fight in May and expect that to happen. No matter the opponent, waiting is wasting time," wrote Dos Santos.
One name that's come up with relative frequency in relation to a duel with Dos Santos has been that of Mark Hunt. The 38-year old slugger is coming off his fourth straight win, knocking out Stefan Struve last weekend at UFC on Fuel 8. UFC President Dana White initially said Hunt turned down a tilt with Dos Santos, prompting the "Super Samoan" to publicly deny having ever declined any offered bout. His statement was followed later by an intriguing Tweet from White saying he'd since spoken to Hunt and had a "great conversation".

LPG Spain was recently approached by the web site, Spain Made Simple, asking us our opinion on the current state of the Spanish property market for their newsletter.
We were more than happy to oblige. Here are their questions along with our answers:
Q. Are property prices in Spain going down, up or stabilizing?
A. Spain's property market is now into its seventh year of recession. During this time prices have dropped significantly from the heady heights of pre 2007, prices of which many claim, had to drop. During this period, many thousands of estate agents, developers and builders have disappeared, leaving a hard core of professionals still struggling to survive. However, price performance has varied considerably in different parts of Spain depending primarily on its clientele, domestic or foreign.
Within the domestic market, Spaniards have seen the bottom drop out of their market with prices coming down up to 60% in some areas as banks haul in repossessions and unsold new stock from developers that have gone out of business. Added to this, the banks are also offering 90% + mortgages to the Spanish who buy any of their stock.
On the other hand, coastal regions have fared much better as the majority of buyers are from overseas. Whilst it's been a complete buyers market over the last 4 – 5 years, where purchasers have been offering very low bids on property already drastically reduced, there are regions that are now beginning to recover, which leads me to the next question…
Q. Who represents the main buyers now, is it the Spanish or has another foreign market taken over from the British?
A. The Costa Blanca reports thriving business from the Russians. The Costa del Sol has been almost invaded by the Scandinavians, in particular those from Sweden and Norway, whilst the British, historically the nation that has purchased more property in Spain than anyone, is still a little conspicuous by their absence, although in the past six months have shown an increase in property purchases in Spain.
As an Estate Agent on the east Costa del Sol, in Nerja, Edwards Estates also employs Swedish staff, and can attribute 75% of sales last year to this market. We would also go as far as to say that during the course of this winter, the problem that we are having is not a shortage of clients, but a shortage of quality and well priced property. This indicates that the majority of prices in our area are still overpriced, in the eyes of the purchaser, but property that is priced well for the region is selling quickly.
Concluding, we see that 2013 may be the year that prices do stabilize in areas that are in demand, whilst the Spanish domestic market will continue to suffer with even further reductions in price added to the main problem for potential buyers, uncertainty in the job market and the unemployment situation, currently at over 5.000.000 people, still rising and expected to reach 27% of the active working population this year, more than fifty percent of which are people under the age of 30. Not an easy situation for those trying to get onto the property ladder.

- Forbes Magazine: "It's a good time to invest in the Spanish property market".
- Foreign House Buyers in Spain up 28.4 pc in 2012.
- Has the Spanish Property Market Bottomed out yet?
- House prices in Spain fall by 15.2% in the third quarter, the biggest drop since 2007.
- Spanish Property Prices have fallen 40% since the Peak.
- Swedes and Norwegians flock to buy property in Spain.

MSNBC on Thursday reversed its decision to cut ties with contributor Sam Seder after alt-right personality Michael Cernovich recently dug up a 2009 tweet from Seder about rape accusations against film director Roman Polanski.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, Seder said, "Don't care re Polanski, but I hope if my daughter is ever raped it is by an older truly talented man w/a great sense of mise en scene."
While the tweet didn't attract much attention at the time, Cernovich dug up the tweet last week and led a lobbying campaign against Seder, putting pressure on MSNBC to drop him from the news network.
After MSNBC faced backlash for its swift decision to cut ties with Seder, MSNBC president Phil Griffin reversed the decision by offering Seder his contributor role back and admitted to The Intercept that "sometimes you just get one wrong."
"We made our initial decision for the right reasons — because we don't consider rape to be a funny topic to be joked about," Griffin said. "But we've heard the feedback, and we understand the point Sam was trying to make in that tweet was actually in line with our values, even though the language was not. Sam will be welcome on our air going forward."
Seder thanked MSNBC in a statement for reconsidering its initial decision to cut ties and for understanding Cernovich's "cynical motives" for misrepresenting the tweet.
"I appreciate MSNBC's thoughtful reconsideration and willingness to understand the cynical motives of those who intentionally misrepresented my tweet for their own toxic, political purposes," Seder said in a statement. "We are experiencing an important and long overdue moment of empowerment for the victims of sexual assault and of reckoning for their perpetrators. I'm proud that MSNBC and its staff have set a clear example of the need to get it right."
Seder told the Washington Post earlier in the week that he reached out to Errol Cockfield, senior vice president of communications at MSNBC, after he saw his 2009 tweet resurface. He wanted to explain his old post was a satirical attempt to express his "disgust" for those who would defend Polanski's actions.
"I wrote that tweet out of disgust with those who were excusing or were seeking to advocate forgiveness for Polanski's actions which caused him to flee the U.S.," Seder said. "I was appalled that anyone would diminish the seriousness of rape, particularly of a child by citing the perpetrator's artistic contributions. Obviously, I would not wish any harm of my daughter or any other person."
MSNBC host Chris Hayes, who indirectly criticized the network's initial decision on Seder, welcomed him back to the network on Thursday.

..and this is a good one. The biggest problem with a custom allocator is knowing WHEN to run the deallocator. When is the object no longer reachable? How can you ever know? If I gave Int a custom allocator, for example, it could be made secure. But the price of that is that everyone would have to explicitly delete all of their Ints, or they'd get a memory leak - and that's W-A-Y too messy. I can't expect people to do that. But it would be S-o-o-o much simpler if the garbage collector could just TELL ME that it was no longer reachable. The GC has all the functionality built in, after all. I think it would just be a small change. As in: BEFORE - if a class overrides new(), the GC ignores all references returned from its constructor. AFTER - if a class overrides new(), the GC adds it to it's list of things to look out for. When it goes out of reach, it calls the object's destructor - but NOT the class's deallocator. That is, and should remain, the responsibility of the custom allocator. If anyone does an explicit delete then the destructor and the deallocator are both called immediately (in that order). Otherwise, if it just goes out of scope, the destructor but not the deallocator is called. That way, everyone is happy - because, you see, within ~this(), we can add the object's address to the allocator's list of things to be cleaned up, and the allocator can do it's cleanup later, as and when it decides, but at least then it would KNOW that it was safe to do so. This strategy makes more sense to me than any I can think of (including the current strategy). I'm not sure about this, but I think that, under the current strategy, if you explicitly call delete(), it must result in a call to both the destructor AND the deallocator, which makes having two separate functions a bit pointless. In other words - I don't want the GC to go around calling my custom delete(), but I *DO* want it to call ~this(). Can we do that? If we can, everything gets a whole lot simpler - and we won't need global new or global delete either, so we can then drop that idea. Simple. Arcane Jill

AT&T hopes to remain the exclusive iPhone provider.
If you've been prolonging the iPhone purchase until the product is available from carriers other than AT&T Inc., you may have to wait longer than you thought.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the telecom and exclusive iPhone provider is trying to negotiate a deal to extend the agreement with Apple Inc. until 2011. It was set to expire next year.
The article says AT&T has spent $1.3 billion discounting the iPhone, which has helped the company grow its wireless customer base to 77 million people.

EUROPEAN political chiefs are to take advantage of Brexit by unveiling their long-held plan to morph the continent's countries into one GIANT SUPERSTATE, it has emerged today.
The foreign ministers of France and Germany are due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an "ultimatum".
Under the radical proposals EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels.
Controversially member states would also lose what few controls they have left over their own borders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees.
The plot has sparked fury and panic in Poland - a traditional ally of Britain in the fight against federalism - after being leaked to Polish news channel TVP Info.

Supreme Court Heightens Pleading Standard
In an 8-1 opinion handed down in Tellabs Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights Ltd on Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that "an inference of scienter must be more than merely plausible or reasonable—it must be cogent and at least as compelling as any opposing inference of nonfraudulent intent."

Link Design was founded in 1995 to help meet the need for high-quality, sensibly designed furniture for those with Special Needs.
Previous research had led to the conclusion that furniture for those with Special Needs, particularly in relation to challenging behaviour, hygiene and safety issues was not generally available and those products that were offered did not function appropriately nor were they aesthetically pleasing.
From the outset, Link Design has endeavoured to supply attractive, robust furniture, designed to meet the specific and varied needs of those that use it.
Many of the products were conceived as "one-off" designs, made to specifications drawn up by Care Managers for individual clients. Features of these designs were adopted and incorporated into what are now standard ranges of furniture.
In addition to these standard ranges, Link Design is very pleased to still be able to supply bespoke furniture, adapted to accommodate the needs of specific individuals.
Link Design supplies specialist furniture to an ever increasing list of private, public and voluntary sector organisations whose clients include those with Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities, Autism, Mental Illness and those detained in Secure Accommodation.

If I had known prostitution was so much fun, I certainly wouldn't be wasting my billable hours writing television reviews.
Sure, I'm the mother of three and all that entails, but as Belle, the saucy lead of Showtime's new "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" remarks, there are as many different sorts of prostitutes as there are people. So why not throw a leather corset in a bag and zip off to sunny old London, where an all-nighter involving some safe vanilla sex with a perfectly lovely young man would net me three grand, American? Forty percent goes to my madam, but still, what a relief not to worry about the death of newspapers -- the only issue Belle has with the Internet is making sure the photo in her ad is pixilated enough so that her folks won't recognize her.
The happy high-priced call girl; if she didn't exist, we'd have to invent her. Which we do, one way or the other, over and over again -- "Call Girl" premieres so close on the heels of the Eliot Spitzer scandal, you have to wonder if Showtime wasn't somehow involved. It seems pointless to argue that prostitution as an enjoyable alternate career choice is a myth, or at least the very rare exception. Those who do wind up sounding shrill, and anyway, "Call Girl's" greatest flaw is not that it's exploitative but that it's surprisingly dull.

Make a T-Shirt Purse
With just a few old shirts with interesting designs to cut out triangles from, your child can make and then design a chic purse all their own. Letting out the fashion designer inside of them, they will boost their creativity and coordination skills, deciding what colors and patterns look best. With the ruler to measure the shapes used for the purse, they will be working with numbers, and then they will be using both their artistic and motor skills in cutting out shapes and then using a steady hand to do a bit of sewing. The best part will be letting them show off their purse, as it will have their own personal flair!
What You Need:
- Scissors
- 2 T-shirts
- Sewing needle
- Thread
- Permanent marker
- Ruler
- Sewing pins
- Colored fabric (optional)
What You Do:
- Help your child lay both shirts down flat on the ground or tabletop. Help her measure and mark out a 9" x 23" x 25" triangle on the center of the first shirt. Make another triangle in the same size on the second shirt.
- Have her cut out each triangle from the shirts. Make sure she cuts through both layers of each shirt for each triangle.
- Each pair of triangles makes one purse. Pick which side of the triangles you want to be the outside of the purse (right side), then pin the pieces together, wrong sides facing out, with a few sewing pins.
- Help your child position the triangles so that they are facing each other but on opposite sides. This will allow the longest sides of each triangle to point toward each other and the shortest sides on the bottom.
- Help your child bring each triangle together so that the shortest ends are now overlapping. Your child will insert the colored triangle they wish to appear in the front of their shirt inside that of the triangle that will not show. Once done, both triangle will share one common 9" bottom.
- Once this is done, help your child to carefully sew up the left and right sides as well as the bottom. The best way to do this is to sew beginning at the top left hand side, then proceeding downward, then sewing the bottom, and then upward to the top of the right side.
- Next, help your child to sew the portions of the triangles that overlap each other across the middle. Be careful to sew through only two layers, not all of them, so your purse is not sewn shut.
- Your purse will then be tied at the top to make the shoulder strap, and your child's purse is created! They can now add any further decorations they wish, such as cutting out other shapes or designs out of other fabric and gluing those to their purse.
On their next shopping trip, your child will love showing off their one of a kind purse!

Penn State Hillel Will Bring First Kosher Cafe To State College
Penn State Hillel is a constantly growing organization on campus, which aims to create new resources not just for its own members, but for the entire community. For this very reason, the organization plans to build the first kosher cafe in State College.
The building will include amenities such as a game room, roof top garden terrace, and a work space open to all visitors. The group originally met up at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, but members and visitors will have a more central location at the upcoming venue downtown at the corner of Beaver Avenue and Garner Street. Although Hillel is a Jewish organization, anyone is welcome to see what the new building will have to offer.
Hillel has been planning the construction of the 26,000-square-foot office for the past year, and the installment will cost approximately $15 million. The building will host student group meetings, events, holiday programming, and other activities. The new space will also make kosher food more widely available on campus. Hillel hopes the 5,000 Penn State Jewish students and faculty members will benefit from the new cultural center, as well as the additional resources it will provide.
"Community is a central component of Jewish identity and expression, and a new home for Hillel creates that focal point," director of community engagement Hannah Giterman said. "The Hillel building needs to be the nerve center for Jewish life — coordinating the extended reach of Hillel's staff and student leaders across campus, enabling us to meet Jewish students where they are, and bring them the resources and opportunities they need to make Judaism an enduring part of their lives after college."
According to Giterman, Hillel initially facilitated the beginning of the building process by reaching out to professionals in the industry and working on designs. Hillel ran focus groups in New York City, Washington D.C., and various communities in Pennsylvania. The group collaborated with numerous social entrepreneurs, Jewish educators, national funders, and young Jewish leaders in order to develop the best plan possible.
"Our organization is data-driven innovation, so we approach everything we do with an enterprising and innovative spirit backed by data and measurement — our plans for the building are no exception," Giterman said.
Hillel hopes the new building will be a beneficial addition to the club that provides students with the space needed to hang out, get work done, and hold important events. The organization aims to create an open space in which members of the community can come together for any type of cause. As the organization's primary building, Hillel's main goal is for members to enjoy the space, as well as come to the building whenever they can.
"We want each space's primary function to be attractive, relevant and utilized every day, and that can be adapted for Shabbat and other special occasions," Giterman said.

A stinking property deal has now surfaced within the Slave Island area over a leasing of 273 perches prime commercial land.
The Ceylon Today, in the lead story of its last Sunday edition, reported of a Rs 2 billion Janatha Estates Development Board (JEDB) land scam where a 273 perch block of prime commercial land at Vauxhall Street, Colombo 2 was to be leased out at Rs 4 million per perch when the market value of the land was Rs 8 million per perch.
By Ravi Ladduwahetty
A stinking property deal has now surfaced within the Slave Island area over a leasing of 273 perches prime commercial land.
The Ceylon Today, in the lead story of its last Sunday edition, reported of a Rs 2 billion Janatha Estates Development Board (JEDB) land scam where a 273 perch block of prime commercial land at Vauxhall Street, Colombo 2 was to be leased out at Rs 4 million per perch when the market value of the land was Rs 8 million per perch.
The venture entails the mixed development project, which will feature a shopping spaces, office spaces and residential apartments spanning 35 storeys on a 273 perch block of land belonging to the Janatha Estates Development Board on 155, Vauxhall Street, Colombo 2. The investors are Mr. Paint Lanka (Pvt) Ltd of Sri Lanka and Procon Development (Hong Kong) Ltd of Hong Kong. The investment is expected to be
US $ 200 million. The lease period is 99 years and the upfront lease payment for the total lease period is Rs 1,150,000,000.
However, during the Cabinet Committee on Economic Management, at its meeting in Committee Room No. 3 in Parliament, on 8 March,
R. Paskaralingam, advisor to the government, explained that a Japanese investor was waiting for the clearance for a mix development project at the Vauxhall Street JEDB land and that the Japanese ambassador was also concerned about the delay of the project implementation.
Paskaralingam has also said the concern was the value of the land which was valued at Rs 1.4 billion which was nearly Rs 6 million per perch. It is not the market value, but the upfront payment value.
The JEDB was not in agreement with this valuation and declared that the market value is Rs 8 million per perch. Further, it was mentioned that the Japanese investor was willing to pay the Chief Valuer's valuation and also willing to settle the cost of the pending Court case on the land.
At this meeting, the JEDB Chairman had also explained that there was a pending statutory payment and other loans that the JEDB had to pay and it was expected that the proceeds of the land sale was to settle all statutory payments and it was necessary to obtain a higher value.
The land in question is 372 perches in extent. However, the lessee is only paying rent for an extent of 107 perches. 153 perches have been made available to the lessee free of rent. The current monthly rental is between Rs 10 and 30 per square foot is about Rs 125. The agreement entered into by the previous regime is depriving the JEDB of a monthly revenue loss of about Rs 6,000,000 taking into consideration different rates for building up space and bare land.
Further, the same lessee is also leasing out another block of prime commercial property on Darley Road at a monthly rental of Rs 13.50 per square foot, the market value being Rs 125. The lessee on Darley Road is utilizing about 6,000 square feet free of rent.
The loss of revenue to the JEDB on the Darley Road property is about Rs 2, 3000,000 per month. None of the lease agreements have incremental clauses.
The total loss of revenue to the JEDB on both properties is a staggering Rs 8,000,000 per month. Therefore, the contract is flawed and there has been a clear political patronization by the previous regime and cannot be overlooked.
Further, the proposed Japanese mixed development project promoted by the same lessee, is presently being contracted at the rate of Rs 1.1 billion for a period of 99 years which quantifies to perch valued at about Rs 4,200,000 whereas the estimated market value is about Rs 8,000,000 per perch.
Currently, there are counter offers from credible companies nearly double the present offer. This project is an unsolicited development project and there are better offers currently.
There are two credible offers way above the present offer. Awarding of the development project at the rate offered, will result in the credibility of the Yahapalana government. This warrants for the high level investigation, as it is clearly evident as malpractices are prevalent.
