Such failure or delay shall not constitute a default under this Agreement.

As soon as practicable after performing such work, NetAdvisor will advise the Customer in writing of the work performed or the action taken.
Intervention. If any part of the Equipment is not placed and maintained in accordance with this Agreement, and the Customer fails to correct the violation within 7 days after receipt of written notice thereof from NetAdvisor, then NetAdvisor may, at its option, without further notice to the Customer, correct the deficiency at the Customer's expense without liability for damages to the equipment or interruption of the Customer's (or its clients') businesses.

NetAdvisor may vary these rules and regulations from time to time in its sole discretion, and the Customer will comply with all other reasonable security requirements that NetAdvisor may impose from time to time, provided that the Customer has been given 30 days notice in writing.
All Customer employees, agents, contractors or invitees ("Customer Persons") having access to the Premises must be approved by NetAdvisor.

A new RV owner soon found that his new motor home had several mechanical problems: the brakes smoked, tires blew out, and the vehicle didn’t handle well on the road. He kept returning the vehicle for repairs and modifications, eventually giving up in frustration and demanding his money back from the manufacturer under the New York Lemon Law. The arbitrator rejected his claim, however, contending that he had failed to comply with certain provisions to the letter of the law. Undaunted, the owner decided to institute a legal action for breach of contract against the dealer who had sold him the motor home.
We were retained by the plaintiff’s legal counsel, Bartlett, Pontiff, Stewart and Rhodes in Glens Falls, N.Y. The first thing the TA engineers discovered was that the vehicle, which supposedly could legally and safely transport five passengers and appropriate supplies, weighed more than federal law allowed. TA verified this by experiments using simulated loads distributed throughout the motor home and with the tanks filled with water, fuel and liquid propane. Even without camping equipment, clothes, personal items or cooking utensils aboard, the vehicle exceeded weight limitations. In fact, it was sufficiently overweight to compound the precise problems reported by the plaintiff.
As a result of our testimony, the jury found that there was indeed a breach of contract: the dealer should have warned the unsuspecting customer that the vehicle would be legally overweight when it was outfitted with the extras ordered. Therefore, the plaintiff won the case and got his money back.

In August 2007 I was part of a small group including Andrew Breitbart, Jim Hoft, Jeff Emanuel, and Laurence Solov that met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in Netanyahu’s Tel Aviv office. (Netanyahu was then head of the Likud Party in opposition to the Olmert government.) Our meeting had been arranged by Fern Oppenheim of America’s Voices in Israel. Fern led our group and snapped a picture of us with Netanyahu as we prepared to leave his office. I don’t think there was anyone in Israel with whom Fern would have been unable to get us at least a few minutes. We skipped the then current prime minister to meet up with the once and future prime minister.
At our meeting we talked mostly about the dangers of the Iranian regime acquiring a nuclear bomb. It was a subject to which Netanyahu had obviously devoted great thought. “This has to be stopped,” Netanyahu concluded.
[W]e want peace. Because we need peace.
Now, we’ve achieved historic peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, and these have held up for decades.
I remember what it was like before we had peace. I was nearly killed in a firefight inside the Suez Canal — I mean that literally — inside the Suez Canal. I was going down to the bottom with a 40- pound pack — ammunition pack on my back, and somebody reached out to grab me. And they’re still looking for the guy who did such a stupid thing.
I was nearly killed there.
And I remember battling terrorists along both banks of the Jordan.
Too many Israelis have lost loved ones, and I know their grief.
I lost my brother. So no one in Israel wants to return to those terrible days.
Netanyahu’s older brother, Jonathan Netanyahu, was the commander of the elite Israeli army commando unit that conducted the incredible Entebbe rescue operation in 1976. He was killed in action during the operation at the age of 30.
My friends, the momentous trials of the last century and the unfolding events of this century attest to the decisive role of the United States in defending peace and advancing freedom. Providence entrusted the United States to be the guardian of liberty. All people who cherish freedom owe a profound debt of gratitude to your great nation.
Among the most grateful nations is my nation, the people of Israel, who have fought for their liberty and survival against impossible odds in ancient and modern times alike.
Thank you. Thank you for your unwavering support for Israel. Thank you for ensuring that the flame of freedom burns bright throughout the world.
May God bless all of you, and may God forever bless the United States of America.

As a nation, we’re living through a powerful moment of reflection on our country’s approach to criminal justice. Progress in states’ juvenile justice systems can offer insights into a better, fairer system — but only if the federal government makes good on its promise to fund what works.
Many of these changes have happened over time and with little fanfare—in many cases, few residents of these states are aware of the extent and impact of these improvements.
Even less well-known is the role that federal funding plays in states’ ability to strengthen systems in a way that enables young people to get back on track and keeps communities safer. It’s not a huge amount of money, but it matters. A little federal funding goes a long way, as many states are proving.
Last fall, the Act-4-JJ Campaign in a letter to President Obama called for fiscal year 2016 budget recommendations that would more accurately represent how important the federal investments in state juvenile justice efforts are to protecting youth and promoting community safety.
While not nearly enough to cover the cuts of the last 15 years, we asked that funding for the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) be restored.
Federal JJDPA funding has declined more than 50 percent, including an 80 percent decrease in Title V funding—the only federal program that provides delinquency prevention funding at a local level. These funds support state systems that protect children from the dangers of adult jails and lockups; keep status offenders out of locked custody; and address the racial and ethnic disparities in the juvenile justice system. In addition, we made recommendations to the Administration to fund delinquency prevention, juvenile accountability, and community-based violence prevention efforts.
Congress has also zeroed out the Juvenile Accountability Block Grants (JABG) funds: money law enforcement used to increase diversion programs, and other jurisdictions used reduce youth recidivism.
Through the FY16 appropriations process, Congress – particularly the Senate – adopted some of our recommendations, but the threat of further discretionary spending cuts and the failure of Congress to raise the debt ceiling puts all that in jeopardy.
In order for states and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to continue their steadfast work on protecting vulnerable children, reducing over-reliance on incarceration, and implementing programs that we know work, Congress needs to stop the cuts and start investing in what works for our kids and our communities.
Marcy Mistrett is the President & CEO of the Campaign for Youth Justice and co-chair of the ACT4JJ Campaign.
Find out more about the law and funding levels, and get involved at the collaborative #JJDPA Matters Action Center, a joint effort of the Act 4 Juvenile Justice Coalition and SparkAction.
Yes, we should take care of vulnerable children. We don't know why they decided to commit a crime. What circumstances made them do it. It's like when a student orders a paper at http://topessaywriter.org/ but we cannot just state that hes lazy. There could be many reasons why he did it.

Shopify Inc. plans to invest up to $500 million for a downtown Toronto development. This more than doubles the company’s size in Toronto.
The Ottawa-based e-commerce company currently has three offices in Toronto. Early next year, Shopify will move into a 178,000-square-foot space at 620 King Street West.
The plan after that is for Shopify to become the anchor tenant at The Well, a few blocks away from its King Street location.
The Well is a seven-building development project at Spadina Avenue and Front Street. Shopify’s investment in there will more than double its footprint in Toronto, bringing it to more than 500,000 square feet split across its new and existing offices.
“Over six years ago, we opened our first Toronto office, consisting of a small team of marketers, designers, product managers and developers. Since then, we’ve hired hundreds and helped shape the tech and entrepreneur ecosystem of the city through our continued investment,” says Shopify in a news release.
This news comes just after Pinterest announced its first Canadian office will be in Toronto — and after other big tech players, such as Microsoft, Etsy, and Alphabet have announced their new and growing positions in the city.
“We have deep roots in the Toronto entrepreneur community and are committed to helping shape the city’s recognition as a global tech hub.” said Craig Miller, chief product officer at Shopify, based in Toronto.

Spack comes with over 1,000 built-in package recipes in var/spack/repos/builtin/. This is a package repository – a directory that Spack searches when it needs to find a package by name. You may need to maintain packages for restricted, proprietary or experimental software separately from the built-in repository. Spack allows you to configure local repositories using either the repos.yaml or the spack repo command.
The top-level repo.yaml file contains configuration metadata for the repository, and the packages directory contains subdirectories for each package in the repository. Each package directory contains a package.py file and any patches or other files needed to build the package.
Override built-in Spack packages with your own implementation.
Packages in a separate repository can also depend on built-in Spack packages. So, you can leverage existing recipes without re-implementing them in your own repository.
Spack uses the repos.yaml file in ~/.spack (and elsewhere) to find repositories. Note that the repos.yaml configuration file is distinct from the repo.yaml file in each repository. For more on the YAML format, and on how configuration file precedence works in Spack, see configuration.
Currently, Spack can only use repositories in the file system. We plan to eventually support URLs in repos.yaml, so that you can easily point to remote package repositories, but that is not yet implemented.
You can have packages with the same name from different namespaces installed at once.
You can easily determine which repository a package came from after it is installed (more below).
It may seem redundant for a repository to have both a namespace and a path, but repository paths may change over time, or, as mentioned above, a locally hosted repository path may eventually be hosted at some remote URL.
Namespaces are designed to allow package authors to associate a unique identifier with their packages, so that the package can be identified even if the repository moves. This is why the namespace is determined by the repo.yaml file in the repository rather than the local repos.yaml configuration: the repository maintainer sets the name.
You should choose a namespace that uniquely identifies your package repository. For example, if you make a repository for packages written by your organization, you could use your organization’s name. You can also nest namespaces using periods, so you could identify a repository by a sub-organization. For example, LLNL might use a namespace for its internal repositories like llnl. Packages from the Physical & Life Sciences directorate (PLS) might use the llnl.pls namespace, and packages created by the Computation directorate might use llnl.comp.
Spack cannot ensure that every repository is named uniquely, but it will prevent you from registering two repositories with the same namespace at the same time. If you try to add a repository that has the same name as an existing one, e.g., builtin, Spack will print a warning message.
Spack’s search semantics mean that you can make your own implementation of a built-in Spack package (like mpich), put it in a repository, and use it to override the built-in package. As long as the repository containing your mpich is earlier any other in repos.yaml, any built-in package that depends on mpich will be use the one in your repository.
spack install hdf5 will install llnl.hdf5 ^builtin.mpich.
spack install hdf5 will install llnl.hdf5 ^proto.mpich.
which will install llnl.hdf5 ^builtin.mpich.
This will not search repos.yaml at all, as the builtin repo is specified in both cases. It will install builtin.hdf5 ^builtin.mpich.
This is not recommended, as it makes it very difficult for multiple repos to be composed and shared. A package.py like this will fail if the proto repository is not registered in repos.yaml.
Spack’s configuration system allows repository settings to come from repos.yaml files in many locations. If you want to see the repositories registered as a result of all configuration files, use spack repo list.
mNote that, unlike spack repo list, this does not include the namespace, which is read from each repo’s repo.yaml.
To make your own repository, you don’t need to construct a directory yourself; you can use the spack repo create command.
==> Created repo with namespace 'myrepo'.
==> Created repo with namespace 'llnl.comp'.
==> Added repo with namespace 'llnl.comp'.
This simply adds the repo to your repos.yaml file.
Once a repository is registered like this, you should be able to see its packages’ names in the output of spack list, and you should be able to build them using spack install <name> as you would with any built-in package.
You can remove an already-registered repository with spack repo rm. This will work whether you pass the repository’s namespace or its path.
==> Removed repository ~/myrepo with namespace 'llnl.comp'.
You may have noticed that namespace notation for repositories is similar to the notation for namespaces in Python. As it turns out, you can treat Spack repositories like Python packages; this is how they are implemented.
Spack repo namespaces are actually Python namespaces tacked on under spack.pkg. The search semantics of repos.yaml are actually implemented using Python’s built-in sys.path search. The spack.repo module implements a custom Python importer.
The mechanism for extending packages is not yet extensively tested, and extending packages across repositories imposes inter-repo dependencies, which may be hard to manage. Use this feature at your own risk, but let us know if you have a use case for it.

TAMPA BAY, Florida - A police officer was shot and killed in Tarpon Springs, a coastal town a few miles northwest of Tampa Bay.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and the Tarpon Springs Police Department are investigating, reports CBS affiliate WTSP in Tampa.
The Tarpon Springs Police Department identified the fallen officer as 45-year-old Charles Kondek, a 17-year veteran of the local police department. Originally from New York, Kondek had previously served on the New York City Police Department for more than five years, authorities said.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that police have arrested 23-year-old Marco Antonio Parilla Jr. on suspicion of first-degree murder. Officials described Parilla as a "transient."
Authorities say Kondek responded to a call for service shortly after 2 a.m. Police said the suspect shot at the officer and then fled the scene in a vehicle and crashed into a pole and another vehicle. He was then apprehended by police at that location.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that Kondek was the father of five children.
The shooting occurred around 3 a.m. on December 21, on Grand Boulevard in Tarpon Springs. The suspect in the shooting is in custody.
Police were originally called out for a noise ordinance complaint as the suspect was banging on residential doors, WTSP reports.

Certifications are virtually required to get ahead in today’s cutthroat business world, but does the same apply to becoming a bartender? Online bartending classes have sprung up across the World Wide Web promising attendees that they’ll master the art of mixology fast. Bartending schools use engaging online platforms and tutorials to inform students of the best practices behind the bar. Bartending courses generally pair interactive online lessons with printed manuals, video demos, flash cards, and graded quizzes to give a broad overview of the customer service job. While learning recipes for popular drinks and food safety tips is important, only a small percentage of America’s 580,900 bartenders attended specialized school first. In this article, we’ll help you determine if online bartending courses are smart for your bartending career goals.
The discrepancy between success and failure in the bartending arena is skill. Bartending isn’t rocket science, but it requires more skills than just basic memorization of cocktail recipes. Online bartending schools offer a no-pressure environment to develop these skills. Courses will teach you the right habits to avoid over-pouring liquor and wasting profit. Most online bartending classes spend an entire module on sanitation skills to ensure health issues don’t run rampant. Bartending students can learns the dos and don’ts of customer service to bolster their confidence and charming personality, which perhaps could lead to a generous $1,000 tip! Time management, organizational, and decision-making skills while handling a busy bar are also fine-tuned in bartending simulation labs.
Making the optional move to join online bartending courses is advantageous for those needing some experience on their résumé. Bartending schools always take less than six months and cost less than even a post-secondary certificate, thus starting your ROI almost immediately. Unlike brick-and-mortar schools, online bartending programs are self-paced 24/7 for fitting lessons into work or family obligations. Many BBB-accredited bartending schools online will qualify grads for the ServSafe Alcohol Primary Exam, which employers will find useful. Making beginner’s mistakes mixing drinks during online bartending classes is better than delivering bad service to thirsty, paying customers. Online bartending courses help you learn the bar lingo with fundamental practice before your first job.
Learning the tricks of the bartending trade won’t always translate well from books though. One of the biggest drawbacks of online bartending classes is that virtual simulations alone won’t give you adequate experience according to most employers. According to Consumer Affairs, 46 out of 47 bar owners surveyed said they don’t require bartending classes for this reason. Pursuing online bartending courses isn’t usually costly with prices spanning from $20 to $250, but critics often say they’re not worth it. That’s especially true since bartenders earn median hourly tips of $8.30 and median hourly income of $15. Some online bartending schools also try upselling their mixing kits for prices higher than local kitchenware stores would charge.
Getting an online bartending certificate can be helpful, yet it’s far from required. Putting in the sweat equity to work your way up from waitress or barback is one of the most popular pathways to bartending careers. Many drinking establishments don’t even hire bartenders because they promote from within their staff after on-the-job training. Instead of paying for an online course, consider buying, renting on Kindle, or checking out bartending guides from library. Some great picks include The Joy of Mixology by Gary Regan and The Craft of the Cocktail by Dale DeGroff. Advancing your bartending career to bar manager could also benefit from enrolling in affordable business classes at local community colleges.

DALLAS/CHICAGO, Jan 26 (Reuters) - U.S. women’s groups are urging television broadcaster CBS not to air an ad during next month’s Super Bowl football championship final because they say it has a strident anti-abortion rights message.
The plans to air the ad, sponsored by a conservative Christian group called Focus on the Family, could see the polarizing issue of abortion rights dropped squarely in the midst of National Football League’s premier event.
It would be the first time that Focus on the Family, a politically influential evangelical group founded by James Dobson, has bought air time during the Super Bowl — the ultimate prize of the advertising world with 30-second spots going for up to $3.2 million.
“We are calling on CBS to stick to their policy of not airing controversial advocacy ads ... and this is clearly a controversial ad,” Jehmu Greene, the president of the Women’s Media Center, told Reuters.
But CBS said it no longer had a blanket filter on advocacy submissions for ad slots. “We have for some time moderated our approach to advocacy submissions after it became apparent that our stance did not reflect public sentiment or industry norms on the issue,” said CBS spokesman Dana McClintock.
Focus on the Family has said that 30-second spot will feature college football star Tim Tebow and his mother Pam.
“The Tebows said they agreed to appear in the commercial because the issue of life is one they feel very strongly about,” it said in a statement on its website.
While the statement does not explicitly mention abortion, “issue of life” is often akin to opposition to abortion rights in conservative Christian circles.
Media reports have said the ad is expected to focus on Pam Tebow’s decision to carry Tim to term despite a recommendation from doctors that she have an abortion.
Focus on the Family also said the ad had been paid for by “very generous and committed friends” and that no money was used from the ministry’s general fund.
“It (the ad) uses one family’s story to dictate morality to the American public, and encourages young women to disregard medical advice, putting their lives at risk,” said the letter sent to CBS by the Women’s Media Center.

The first New Jersey girls wrestling champion is from Bergen County.
ATLANTIC CITY — Erin Emery was Teaneck’s Ticket. She cashed in at Boardwalk Hall.
Emery, the Teaneck senior, became the first girls state champion in New Jersey history Saturday when she pinned Mia Lazaurs of Raritan in 2:46 at 185 pounds. Of the 10 girls state championship bouts, 185 was drawn to start, meaning Emery will forever be the first girl New Jersey crowned as state champ.
Surrounded by family, coaches and reporters after the match, Emery was beaming. She won with power, savvy and experience. The way a champion should.
“It’s the best feeling,” Emery said.
Earlier this winter, Emery said that she’d been looking at the name of Bob Willman on the wall at Teaneck. He was Teaneck’s last and only state champion in 1967 at 178 pounds.
Saturday, Willman came to Atlantic City to see Emery and gave her a pre-match pep talk.
But when she found out she was the first match on the card, Emery was a bit skittish.
Against Lazaurs, Emery shot for a double leg in the first period and nearly got caught in a headlock, but was able to sneak away on the line.
When the second period started, Emery was on bottom. She escaped and put Lazaurs in a headlock and got two back points. Lazaurs reversed making it 3-2. Then came the history-making move.
That’s exactly what Emery did, putting Lazaurs on her back.
The referee raised Emery’s hand and rotated her from one side of Boardwalk Hall to the other, telling her she was the first New Jersey girls state champion in history.
She ran over to hug Nonas and assistant coach Pat Delaney, who was filming the match for posterity from the corner.
Like so many boys in New Jersey have said at Boardwalk Hall after winning state titles, Emery had plans for her new medal – it’s going right on top – and was looking to go eat.
Emery is a three-sport standout at Teaneck, playing soccer and softball in addition to wrestling (she said her softball teammates were watching back home). Nonas hopes she might get a shot to wrestle in college now, although Emery is unsure what sport she might play in the future. In the meantime, Nonas wants her to become and ambassador for her sport and her gender.

Security static code analysis is performed together with other static code analysis methods at or before compilation time. The biggest advantage of using static code analysis tools is that they can be used in the very early stages of the projects, long before the code has reached a state where it can be executed and evaluated with traditional quality assurance methods. With the high level of automation that can be achieved, static code analysis is an ideal tool to introduce a minimum code quality level without wasting the precious time of security experts on routine manual reviews. Common automation options in particular include automated execution of code auditing at check-in to SCM, as well as automated failing of a build in centralized build environments (e.g. when using CI systems such as Jenkins).
Static code analysis tools cover a broad range of code analytics options, ranging from trivial pattern matching tools to find comments in the code like “todo” or “fixme”, up to very complex execution path analysis tools. Such advanced tools can observe, for example, a specific variable through the execution path of a method and make deductions on the reliability and sanitation status of data stored in such variables.
Depending on the policies of the organizations and products, any form of static code analysis may be security relevant. While it is common understanding that execution path analysis often provides valuable insights on security, some organizations may decide that enforcing specific code formatting is relevant to their security program. One justifications for this is that a common definition of whitespace across the project’s developer community makes semi-automated code reviews easier.
For these reasons, static code analysis is mostly policy driven, and the (secure) coding policies that an organization defines ultimately drives the selection of tools and their configuration. Consequently, the selection of approved tools and their (project specific) configuration is key in making static code analysis a significant contributing factor to application security. As with any policy, the static code analysis rule set, as well as the list of approved tools need periodic reviews to make sure that the latest advances in security research and subsequent tool improvements are incorporated into a project’s security strategy.

It is challenging for many of us to bail ourselves out of so many distractions of these days while reading. You planned to study a bit, you’ve been focusing on some texts, and suddenly you realize your mind hasn’t been where your eyes are all looking at; you’ve been buried in a reverie of something entirely different.
A new study suggests that, practicing meditation can help one improve focus while reading.
“It is challenging for individuals to maintain their attention on ongoing cognitive tasks without being distracted by task-unrelated thought, the study’s authors said.
The wandering mind is thus a considerable obstacle when attention must be maintained over time.
It took the researchers a one-month intensive vipassanā meditation training program to arrive at their conclusion. Participants of the test were given a reading test having a nonsensical sentences placed within; they were monitored with a control group i.e. along with those who don’t have to practice meditation.
Researchers found that only those who had been practising meditation were able to detect the nonsensical sentences.
“Meditation practitioners across both studies demonstrated greater levels of error monitoring following training, as measured by their ability to detect gross semantic violations in the text, the study’s authors write.

This apple honey dish is a fun and easy craft for bigger kids (and their ambitious moms!) They are technically pinch pots – air dry clay pots made by pinching and prodding them into shape. Basically, what this means is that you don’t need advanced pottery skills and anyone can make it. Disclosure: this post contains commissioned links.
As you can see in my photos, my apple honey dish did NOT come out perfect – and that’s okay. If you want a food focused apples and honey idea, check out my apple honey dish made from actual apples.
If I would have sat over it for an hour, smoothing it out, cutting it to shape, it would have maybe looked much better but I don’t have that kind of patience, and my goal is to design a craft that anyone can easily repeat. So the craft that you see here is a simple, doable project that almost anyone can create, even without advanced crafting skills.
I used air dry clay in a terra cotta color. I don’t necessarily recommend using that color – white is really the best way to go. Because I was planning on painting this I just decided to use up the terra cotta stuff I had purchased by mistake.
I painted it with acrylic paints – a berry red for the main pot and a brushed metallic bronze for the stem, as well as a color shift metallic green for the leaf. I am a Plaid ambassador for my main blog Moms & Crafters and the above paints were provided to me free of charge in case I’ll craft with them and share.
I also decided to give Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge a go on this one. The thing is, it takes 28 days to cure. Yep, you heard right. It takes 28 freaking days to completely cure. If you don’t have that kind of time, use a quicker hardening clay sealer – it just won’t be dishwasher safe. Make sure to use something water resistant so that it can wipe clean.
Note: if you miss a single spot with the dishwasher safe mod podge, your project will melt when you put it in the dishwasher. I still recommend it for hand washing, but do be warned that you’ll want to test it and make sure you catch ever single spot before putting it in your dishwasher.
I don’t know about the paints I used. It’s probably NOT food grade either, but it is likely non-toxic. Definitely look for non-toxic paints with your red paint.
The same applies for the clay – it’s labeled nontoxic but it’s unlikely to be food grade either.
You can design it to fit anything – a small shot glass, a glass dish. It’s really mean to be purely decorative.
With the dry time needed, this project will need a few days to complete because of the cure and dry time of the various components. Each step doesn’t take very long, but you’ll need to start this a week or so before it needs to be completed.
Grab a ball of clay and knead it to soften it to make it easier to work with.
Pinch your clay into a roundish jar shape. Make sure it’ll fit around whatever you’ll be using for your honey. Make sure the bottom is flat so that it will sit properly on a surface. Expect minimal shrinkage.
Dip your fingers into water and use wet hands to smooth your clay. Work with it as much as you’d like – there’s beauty in imperfection! You can cut the top so that it’s totally flat or leave it as I did.
Make a flat circle of clay to fit on top of your jar.
Use two separate pieces of clay to make a cylinder stem shape that’s thick enough to serve as a handle for your lid. Make a leaf shape too.
Use water to help you attach these shapes to your lid. Allow your apple honey dish to cure completely according to package instructions before proceeding.
When it’s completely cured, paint your jar. Do this one side at a time – allow it to dry before flipping and painting the other side. Paint a couple of layers if you need it, allowing it to cure completely between layers.
Paint your stem in a brown or bronze color and paint your leaf green.
When all layers of paint have dried completely, paint on your first layer of Mod Podge. Allow it to dry to the touch between layers and then paint another coat. Repeat with a third coat. (it does not need to cure completely for a fresh layer to be added).
When your apple honey jar is completely cured, it’s ready to use!
What a fun addition to the family’s Rosh Hashanah table!
Who will you be making this apple honey dish for? Will you be giving it as a gift? Comment below!

Apo Island is one of the top diving and snorkeling destinations in the Philippines. This world- famous island located a few kilometers off the southern tip of Negros Oriental, never fails to amaze divers with its rich community-protected marine life.
Sometimes mistaken as Apo Reef, Apo Island is located 30 kilometers south of Dumaguete City, the capital of Negros Oriental. Apo Reef, on the other hand, is located between Mindoro and Palawan.
Apo Island is small community under the municipality of Dauin, Negros Oriental. It has a land area of 12 hectares with a population of around 1,000. Electricity in the island is only available for three hours, from 7 to 10 in the evening. The townsfolk use rain water as their tap water. WiFi access is also very limited.
If you love adventure and marine life, you will definitely love going to Apo Island. Here are things you can do and see in the island.
Apo Island is known for its spectacular scuba diving sites found all over the island. It is one of the best sites for scuba diving. Here are the famous diving sites in Apo Island.
Apo Island Marine Sanctuary and Protected Seascape (Currently under rehabilitation, diving and snorkeling is prohibited at the moment). Located at the southwest part of the island, the protected Marine Sanctuary is one dive site you should not miss. It is a home to a lot of clown fish, along with turtles and giant clams. It is a home to many fish species, including manta rays, black and white snappers, angelfish, and flounder.
Coconut Point. Coconut point is located at the northwest part of the island that features different varieties of soft corals. It is famous for its schools of jacks, as well as barracudas, white tip reef sharks, and Vlaming Unicornfish. Because of the strong current in this area, only advanced divers can dive at Coconut Point.
Chapel’s Point. At the western side of the island is Chapel’s point. Here you will find interesting marine life sightings of various species of corals, sponges, and gorgonian sea fans. Fish species found here include tuna, black and white snappers, and barracuda.
Rock Point. Rock point is at the southern tip of Apo Island. Water can be rough here, but marine life is also rich and spectacular with rock formations and corals in the area. You can find black and white tip sharks here in Rock Point, as well as moray eels, Picasso triggerfish, and black and white snappers.
Mamsa Point. Mamsa Point is found at the eastern side of Apo Island. You will find varieties of jacks in the area, where the diving site got its name from. Mamsa is the local term for jacks. Aside from jacks, you will also see different types of groupers, lionfish, scorpion fish, as well as black and white tip reef sharks.
Aside from diving, you can also enjoy snorkeling in Apo Island. You get to encounter different species of marine animals and see beautiful corals. You can even swim with the turtles in shallow water, which you can find the southwest part of the island.
It is also a delightful experience to go snorkeling in the protected marine sanctuary of Apo Island and around the rock formations, too.
You can also go trekking and hiking in the small island of Apo. Famous trails include the eco trail and the trail going to the lighthouse. Just don’t forget to wear walking or running shoes since the trails could get steep and slippery. Protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun by wearing sunglasses, hats, and putting on sunblock.
Now that you know the interesting things to do and see in Apo Island Philippines, you may want to ask how to go to Apo Island.
Here are ways to get to Apo Island from different starting points in the Philippines.
From Manila, take a plane going to Dumaguete City, then follow the instructions from Dumaguete to Apo Island below. If you are planning on a side trip to Apo Island from Cebu, there is also access from Cebu to Apo Island.
From Cebu City, you can take a plane, a boat, or a fast craft going to Dumaguete City. You can also ride a bus from the South Bus Terminal that takes you to the southern tip of Cebu – to the port of Liloan in the Municipality of Santander. Travel time is between 3-4 hours.
From the port of Liloan, a 30-minute ferry boat ride will take you to to Dumaguete or more accurately Sibulan, which is the town north of Dumaguete. It is also where the Dumaguete Airport is located.
You can also bring your vehicles to Dumaguete, as the ferry also transports cars and buses.

Ben Zarai is one classy guy to work with — positive, diligent, and talented. He always came back with an array of beautifully different ideas and pleasantly surprising perspectives while still nailing the original descriptions of what we were after right on the money. His understanding of the music’s purpose stems directly from his keen understanding of the scene’s purpose. His adjustments based on our notes were remarkably astute and creative. Most importantly, it is impossible to overstate the benefit of having such an accomplished sound designer as your composer. His knowledge of sound in general plays a large part in the seamless weaving of design with composition — and more importantly, with dialogue. As Ben likes to say, “The dialogue is the melody.” What a guy. He has our recommendation.
“Ben Zarai delivered in spades. He listened carefully to my temp, fully-appreciating the 70’s-thriller orchestrations I was looking for. Then created a beautiful and wholly original score filled with genuine suspense, pathos and humor that transcended all expectation. Plus, he broke his back to get it done right, and on schedule.
My name is Aaron Harvey, and I wrote and directed a film entitled CATCH .44 last year. I had the immense pleasure of working with a fantastic composer, Ben Zarai, on my film and wanted to let you know that if you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond and really take the time to cater to what your vision of the film is – look no further. The man is amazing. I got to know him when we were mixing my film, and when I asked him to compose the score for me, not only did he nail everything I was asking, he went out and bought several brand new instruments to do it with! The dude is a machine and can deliver anything you need him to deliver and is willing to put in the time until it’s done right. If there’s need for a composer on your project, Ben is your guy.
Ben was never concerned with winning any ego battles or showing off his composing skills. The movie always came first, and his focus was solely on how he could help make the film better. And was he ever successful in doing so. His scoring and mixing greatly elevated the quality of our project and from our very first meeting, he was ever eager to listen to our ideas, and offer his own creative input.
During both scoring and mixing, Ben was a joy to work, fully present with an unwavering positive, “can do” attitude. Even long after the project was completed, Ben made himself completely available to offer advice, input and knowledge. I can only hope Ben is available to work on my next project.

There's a feeling of deja vu at this year's Hempstalk. Portland's original cannabis festival is back at Waterfront Park, after another year of contentious back-and-forth with city officials, still struggling to abide by Portland's pot laws.
But there is one big difference in 2015 - recreational cannabis is now legal across Oregon.
Festival founder Paul Stanford said that meant they could take it easy, cut back on the city-mandated security and even open a fenced-off smoking area for people to consume cannabis at the event, but the reality on Hempstalk's opening day Saturday turned out to be a little different than organizers imagined.
Long lines snaked out of the fenced-in smoking area - a section of parking lot adjacent to the park, which Stanford said he rented from the city for $2,100 - but by mid-afternoon the party was over, shut down by Portland Police, according to security personnel at the event.
Organizers insisted that it was sanctioned by the city, yet found themselves staring at an empty patch of blacktop for tobacco use only.
The number of security personnel this year was, however, smaller than last. The crew was down to 20 from last year's 40, but the presence is still much larger than in festivals past, when eight guards would roam the grounds at Kelley Point Park.
This year's staff spent Saturday patrolling Waterfront Park, focusing their efforts on vendors in tents lined up on the lawn.
Ken Kovash, owner of local seed bank Quantitative Ginetics, set up jars of flowers grown with his company's seeds, meant only for display. Hempstalk organizers stopped by and told him to pack it all up, claiming police documented somebody selling product from the booth.
"It's too bad, we paid $1,000 for this event," Kovash said, denying that they had sold anything to anyone. "I don't see why we can't display flowers that people can grow in their own backyard."
Stanford said organizers had also kicked out a California-based seed company earlier in the day for selling. You can buy cannabis from hundreds of stores around the city, but at Hempstalk it's strictly forbidden, a casualty of hosting the event in a public setting.
Despite legalization, it seems destined to be another year of controversy and confusion at the festival. Still, the Hempstalk faithful had reason to be optimistic.
"Last year 90 percent of the people who came to the gate gave up," Stanford said, referring to the fenced-in perimeter and bag checks at the gates. "We don't have that this year and it's a lot better vibe."
That vibe was decidedly less combative than in years past. The traditional soap-box rants from a stage beside the Hawthorne Bridge have evolved from recreational legalization to societal normalization. And people there seemed far more compliant, with many smoking at a safe distance from the festival proper.
But with this newfound normalcy surrounding cannabis consumption, what becomes of a prohibition-era festival like Hempstalk?
"It's a process and it's going to continue to evolve," Stanford assured. He said he'll always use the event as a place for cannabis activism, and even though recreational and medicinal marijuana are now legal in the Pacific Northwest, he still sees much work to be done.
His end goal? To fuel the entire world with hemp.
"My goal is to see hemp replace petroleum," Stanford said. Because hemp seeds contain so much oil, the crop makes a pretty effective biofuel, according to some researchers and activists. "When we can replace petroleum with hemp, our work will almost be done."
Until that day comes, Hempstalk will try just to keep its place on Portland's waterfront, opening the event to the public in the name of education and promotion of the local cannabis industry. There are certainly big dreams ahead, but for now organizers would just content keeping the festival in the good graces of city officials.
"I just don't want the city to complain about our event," Stanford said. "I want it to work, and [want] to do what they want us to do."
Hempstalk will continue on Sunday, Oct. 18, at Waterfront Park in downtown Portland. Admission is free and open to the public.

My mother’s favorite artist was Norman Rockwell.
Growing up, this embarrassed me to no end.
He just wasn’t hip enough for my sensibilities.
During high school, my bedroom walls featured thumb-tacked posters of Klimt’s The Kiss, Picasso’s Hand with Flowers (such an ironic title, so clever) and whatever M.C. Escher thing was in vogue at the time.
I pretended to find meaning in Mark Rothko, tacking Red, Orange, Tan and Purple over my bed.
The hallway in our house was lined with her Norman Rockwell plates, which she collected and treasured, saving the boxes and all the written documentation inside.
I scoffed at these even as she opened the new ones we ordered for her every Christmas.
How could she like this pedestrian illustration and call it art?
I remember once telling her she could just cut out photos from a magazine and tape them to the wall, it would be the same thing.
Aren’t you sad you didn’t know me then?
After she died, I inherited all the Rockwell prints, plates and books.
One afternoon when I was cleaning out her house, I sat in her chair and paged through the Rockwell book she kept next to it.
It’d been years since I’d even noticed any of the prints on the wall, they literally had blended into the background along with all the other odds and ends in this house she’d lived in for over 40 years.
Looking at the book, I saw illustrations and paintings of Norman Rockwell’s that I’d never seen before. I had no idea about his amazing gifts as a painter, where he was from, or that his work was done from photos taken of the people who lived around him.
I noted that I should look into this some more some time. And I didn’t get rid of the books or the plates, packing them away with the other things of hers I saved.
A few weeks ago, we took a road trip to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to the Norman Rockwell Museum.
I somehow felt like going there for my mom, since she never did.
Happily, the museum’s not in some steel-sided hut along the thruway.
I took those photos walking around the site, the day was spectacular.
We found out later that as a kid he’d posed for a photo that became one of Rockwell’s paintings.
The museum is in a beautiful, light-filled building, and as soon as we walked into one of the galleries, I was struck by how large the paintings are. Here’s a shot of a gallery from the museum’s website, just to give you an idea of size.
The first painting I saw was The Problem We All Live With, 1964.
To my complete surprise, tears immediately sprung to my eyes as I stood in front of this. It was the detail. The care that had been taken to show every nuance of this afternoon in American history: the girl’s pristine white dress, shoes and socks, the ruler she carried, the determination on her face, all painted with Rockwell’s incredibly sure hand and amazing sense of detail. I’d seen this image many times, but how had I never noticed the tomatoes?
I now understood Norman Rockwell as the brilliant American historian he was, capturing every shade of what it is that makes us who we are.
These were some of my other favorites.
Originally painted as an AT&T promotion, donated to the museum by Verizon in 2008.
A bonus for us on this visit was the gallery displaying Rockwell’s movie posters. They’re displayed with some of the original oil paintings beside them.
The painting of Jennifer Jones, below, is breathtaking. Combined with the graphics on the movie poster, it makes a stunning package. If only movie posters still looked like this.
After seeing his work, a opportunity to visit his actual studio on the grounds was icing on the cake. The studio is set up to look just the way it did when he was painting what’s on the easel, recreated from photographs. The detail again is incredible, down to what’s playing on the radio.
An informative guide/docent who clearly loves his work can answer any/all questions about the studio.
An additional gallery was offering the work of William Steig, which in itself would have been enough to get me to visit. Another bonus!
The museum has a great education program, classes for kids, and all sorts of on-going events.
The gorgeous setting for this collection of American treasures couldn’t be more perfect.
My mom would have loved it.

After many thousands monotypes 1972 - 74, which are not presented here, emerged my own graphic technique.
I was just playing, using cutout paper forms, alu foil, salt, and whatsoever to build and glue together a matrix.
Then the matrix was covered with a sheet of fine paper (a sort found in many experiments).
mixed with quite a bit of transparent varnish, then applied in many transparent layers by the roller.
I called it Print-Painting. Made several versions of every painting, using different color set.
That was my Color University. I admit that in my daily work (in Amsterdam) very helpful were mexican holy mushrooms.
I offered print-paintings in West-Berlin, Stockholm and Amsterdam galleries.
Good reactions, most often paintings were seen by a large looking glass, then questions and comments.
Nobody ever seen artwork like these before.

When the Middle East’s first permanent aqua-theatre show, La Perle, was announced last year, there was certainly more than a ripple of intrigue as to how such a project would take shape.
And Time Out was invited down to meet some of the 65-strong cast drawn from 23 nationalities and see them being put through their paces at their Dubai Studio City training centre.
As soon as you walk into the vast, hangar-like venue, you’re immediately struck by the enormity of the project – and this is only the beginning.
La Perle is the brainchild of much-lauded theatre director Franco Dragone, whose work with Cirque du Soleil saw him rise to prominence as one of the world’s foremost exponents of cutting-edge productions.
And his influence on this forthcoming Dubai aqua-theatre spectacular, set to open at a purpose-built, 1,300-seat venue in Al Habtoor City this summer, is evident as we’re given a tour of the practise site as the various multi-talented performers are trained by the expert team. From slack lines to diving pools, tumble floors to lofty, winched acrobatic swings attached to bungee ropes, this place is a hive of athletic, acrobatic activity.
Samuel Orme, the show’s general stage manager, has a huge task on his hands, but it’s one he is clearly relishing as he beams while talking of how each cast member has been learning new tricks, as it were, and expanding their repertoire to become multi-disciplined performers.
And resident artistic director, Tara Young, a veteran of Broadway who has worked with Dragone before in China, exudes an incredible passion for the mammoth project set to be revealed to the Dubai public.
And you’ll all soon have the honour of seeing this aquatic spectacular in Al Habtoor City.
PS. They’ve built a huge, rather scary-looking puppet for the show but we were sworn to secrecy about that.
Dhs400. From Thu Aug 31, Tue-Fri, 7pm and 9.30pm; Sat, 4pm and 7pm. La Perle, Al Habtoor City, www.laperle.com (04 437 0123).
