Romantic Things to Do on the Suncoast, Fiji
For the couple who would rather adventure together than sit in a resort sipping cocktails for their entire time away together, the Suncoast might just be the perfect Fiji destination for you. Situated on the northern coast of Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, the Suncoast is less developed than the busy resort districts but no less enchanting. From the beach-scattered coastline dotted with off-shore islands to the rainforest and mountain-filled interior, the Suncoast provides a stunning setting for romance and exploration. For a romantic getaway or honeymoon on the Suncoast, expect a fine balance of adventure with scuba diving, kayaking and trekking to pure relaxation with spa treatments and private destination dining. Check out some of our top recommendations with this list of romantic activities on the Suncoast for couples.
While you're here, you might also be interested in The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to the Suncoast.
1. Enjoy an Intimate Scenic Flight on Your Way to the Suncoast
A special occasion calls for a special way to get to the Suncoast, so why not arrive at your romantic destination in style by helicopter or seaplane? Pacific Island Air offers private seaplane and helicopter charter flights to selected resorts on the Suncoast, including Wananavu Beach Resort, Volivoli Beach Resort and Dolphin Island. The 1h10min flight takes you over azure waters, rugged mountains of Viti Levu's interior and along the mesmerising coastline. Flights depart from Nadi International Airport.
2. Learn How to Scuba Dive Together in the Famed Bligh Water
Nothing strengthens the bond quite like learning a new skill together. Make that skill something epic like learning how to scuba dive! What better place to learn than the warm waters teeming with corals and marine life of the Bligh Water, just off the Suncoast? Learn to dive with Wananavu Dive who provide a range of PADI-accredited scuba diving lessons, from Discover Scuba Diving (ideal for your first dive) to an Open Water Diver course for a diving certification. Alternatively, Ra Divers at the Volivoli Beach Resort offer both PADI and SSI Open Water Dive courses.
3. Experience the Tranquillity of Kayaking from Island to Island
Mix peace and adventure by exploring the glistening waters of Fiji together by kayak. There are many islands to discover, especially off the coast of Volivoli and Rakiraki where the Nananu-i-Cake and Nananu-i-Ra islands are a short paddle away. Take a picnic and kayak from the luxurious Dolphin Island on a journey to the nearby islands and their unspoiled beaches. Or explore the coast together with the readily available kayaks of the Wananavu Beach Resort.
4. Indulge in a Couples' Massage
Discover the true meaning of "Fiji time" with a blissful couples' massage. This complete state of relaxation is an experience best shared together, whether it's with a His & Her's Arrival Ritual or Honeymoon Pamper Ritual at the Wananavu Beach Resort's Wai Spa, an Aromatic Massage at the Daulomanu Day Spa of the Volivoli Beach Resort, or a pampering at the Noqui Tau Spa of the Tanoa Waterfront Hotel. See our 5 Best Spas on the Suncoast for more details.
5. Treat Each Other to a Private Beach Picnic
Get marooned together with the best part of the boat: the food! You and your loved one will be whisked away to a secluded white sand beach of one of the off-shore islands of the Wananavu Beach Resort. Spend the day alone together swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing in your own piece of paradise, complete with a gourmet picnic hamper.
6. Set the Scene with a Romantic Sunset Cruise
Create the perfect setting for, perhaps, asking the big question or just enjoying a magical afternoon together on the sunset cruise. With some of the most dazzling sunsets in Fiji, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Set out on the waters for golden hour with Volivoli Beach Resort or Wananavu Beach Resort and their utterly romantic sunset cruises. The experiences include indulging in canapes served by the onboard stewardess and sipping on Champagne. Meanwhile, you'll cruise around picturesque islands, watching the golden hues in the skies glisten on the water before the sun seemingly dips into the ocean.
7. Discover the Real Fiji Together on a Self-Drive Tour
A road trip in Fiji provides the ultimate freedom, independence and privacy. By being on the largest island of Fiji well-connected by roads, the Suncoast is a must-hit road trip destination. Pick up a rental vehicle from Nadi International Airport where a 2WD will be comfortable if just sticking to the coastal Kings Road. Otherwise, take a 4WD vehicle to explore the stunning interior and villages of the Suncoast. Be sure to plan your road trip itinerary with our Trip Ideas category. Plus, see The Best Car Rentals in Fiji for a full comparison of car rental companies.
8. Enjoy a Candlelit Private Dinner on a Floating Pontoon
There's a reason why eating out together is a classic way to "date night". Enjoy some of what will likely be the most memorable dining experiences of your life with a private dining experience on the Suncoast. Dolphin Island encourages guests to try their many destination dining experiences, from a private dinner on a verandah overlooking the infinity pool to a private table set up on a floating pontoon. Private candlelit dinners can also be organised at the Wananavu Beach Resort.
9. Go on a Journey of Discovery Together with a Guided Trek Through the Heart of Fiji
For the adventurous couple, go on a guided trek through Viti Levu's rugged interior. This is where the true Fiji lies, among authentic Fijian villages, luxuriant rainforest scattered with waterfalls, golden grasslands and to the highest peak of Fiji, Mt Tomanivi. The Suncoast is one of the best places to set off on a multi-day island trek. Because trails are unmarked, it's best to go with a guiding company such as Talanoa Treks, who stay at exclusive accommodation in Fijian villages and help you discover what's around you, such as medicinal plants, old village sites now in ruins, old battlefields, food plantations and much more. For more excursions, see The Best Day Trips from the Suncoast.
10. Embrace the Art of Doing Nothing at All
Why are rest and relaxation the main reasons that travellers come to Fiji? Maybe it's the soothing balmy island breeze, the relaxed yet friendly locals, or the stunning island scenery. Whichever wedding or honeymoon resort on the Suncoast you stay in, there will be the opportunity to relax together, whether it's at your own private pool, on the beach or in a hidden hammock away from civilisation.

Put your boots on and discover new mountains, hidden valleys and forests full of life. Cross the beech, fir and pine forests and climb over passes. Discover a mountain lake, summit a peak and look out over the infinite Pyrenees. Highlight mountains here are Bisaurín, Peñaforca, Lenito, Agüerri, Castillo de Acher and Chipeta. After hiking one the many trails in the valley you can take a dip in a river pool.
A thousand different ways to enjoy the Valle de Hecho
Discover our winter landscape on cross country and back country skis, using snow shoes or simply walking. Go sledging, make an igloo…
Go and get to know the Los Valles On Bike BTT Center, you can ride trails that are more than 2,000 years old, travel through hidden valleys and rest in towns with stories to tell… Trail areas await you with demanding climbs along forest tracks, Enduro dynamic rides that take advantage of historic trails and fun descents.
If you need more thrills than hiking and discovering incredible landscapes, wild animals and pristine nature you can try canyoning, climbing, paragliding, mountain biking, ziplines…..
A legend tells how Cheso shepherds saved King Alfonso I el Batallador from a bear attack when he was hunting in La Boca del Infierno gorge. From then on the royal huntsmen were chosen from the Hecho valley. This story has a grain of truth in it – find it by looking at our historical remains, visiting our museums and enjoying a guided tour.
Mountain cooking was frugal and filling. However, the valley´s restaurants offer both traditional and more modern interpretations of this heritage. The most traditional dishes here are migas (a savoury dish made with bread flakes), boliches (a stew made with a local bean variety) and lamb – either stewed or spit roast. Other typical dishes are game, cod, local beef steaks, borage and wild mushrooms. Each restaurant has its speciality allowing you to choose between contemporary, modern cuisine, traditional cooking, tapas, sandwiches etc. If you want to shop for local products can buy artisan village bread, cakes and biscuits, locally produced charcuterie and artisan beer …..
It´s not just the competition – enjoy the best atmosphere and organisation with events for all tastes and abilities – You can compete in the Boca del Infierno race, stride out with your friends on the Marcha de los Tres Ibones (The Three Lakes Race) or enjoy a family hike with the Marcha de la Sierra de Los Rios.
The valley is a classic route for bikers and motorists. As well as the main A176 road you can ride in and out of the valley on smaller roads heading East and West towards the rest of the Pyrenees.
Discover our traditions – follow the ethnological route around the valley and hear villagers speaking in the aragonés – cheso language. In May we celebrate Las Navatas – timber cut in the valley used to be transported as rafts down the river. You can also hear traditional music from our local folk group and enjoy other music at our fiestas and festivals.
Hunting and fishing are the most traditional outdoor pastimes and have always been an important part of life in the valley which has been a National Hunting Reserve since 1950. The main quarries are wild boar, roe and red deer, chamois, and woodcock. The Aragón Subordán is one of the best trout fishing rivers in Spain.
It´s easy to get to other parts of the Pyrenees such as the Ansó and Roncal valleys to the West and Aragüés del Puerto, Jasa and Aísa to the East. Taking the smaller roads between the valleys you´ll pass through incredible scenery. Heading South you are near San Juan de La Peña, Jaca, Los Mallos de Riglos in Aragón and the Foz de Lumbier and Salazar Valley in Navarra while Ordesa and the Valle de Aspe in France are only 90 minutes away.

Pilot Research Projects
Each year, the Emory National Primate Research Center (EPC) awards pilot research grants that provide one year of support for up to $70,000 in direct costs. The projects are selected based on their potential to generate high-impact preliminary data that will result in research project grants from outside sources and in peer-reviewed publications.

CRISPR/Cas9 Based In Vivo Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited blood disorder, affecting millions worldwide. Due to a mutation, an abnormal form of hemoglobin (Hemoglobin S) develops which tends to polymerize in blood red cells, causing them to change their shape (to "sickle"). Ninety-eight percent of the world's SCD population resides in low-resource countries. Half of the affected children die before the age of 5, and 95% by 18 years of age. Strategies to treat patient with SCD rely on increasing the amount of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in these patients, a form of hemoglobin that will not lead to sickling. Gene-based therapy to achieve this goal is becoming available in some developed country but is financially and logistically out of reach in developing regions of the world.
The proposed work seeks to develop a new cost-effective CRISPR/Cas9 based in vivo gene-editing strategy by which the production of fetal hemoglobin will be induced by disrupting the erythroid binding site of the HbF inhibitor, BCL11A. This strategy will be tested in nonhuman primates, as they can produce HbF and are of sufficient size and similarity to humans. The experiments will involve injections of adenoviruses carrying the Cas9 and CRISPR guide RNA that targets the erythroid binding site of BCL11A, into the bone marrow.
Aim 1: Determine editing efficiency in vitro in primate immune cells.
Aim 2: Assess HbF induction in Rhesus macaques subjected to the proposed gene editing approach.

Social status determinants of maladaptive glutamate responses to stress in nonhuman primates
Anhedonia is a highly disabling feature of major depression. It may result from prolonged exposure to stress, perhaps related to alteration in glutamatergic transmission in the medial prefrontal cortex. In recent studies in human controls, glutamate in the medial frontal cortex is reduced in the presence of chronic stress, an adaptive glutamate response (AGR) that appears to be absent in patients with major depression. The goal of this pilot proposal is to examine whether such AGR responses are present in monkeys. If so, this would enable subsequent mechanistic R01 proposals to examine the biologic basis for the observed differences, and to develop new therapeutic strategies for treatment of anhedonia.
To determine whether the AGR occurs in monkeys, the brains of macaque monkeys will be imaged (in vivo) with MR spectroscopy (MRS), a magnetic resonance imaging sequence that is sensitive to the presence of glutamate. The study will focus on glutamate measurements in the medial frontal cortex. In addition, stress responses will be assessed by measurements of cortisol and other serum markers. The PIs will use their knowledge of the social hierarchy in macaque groups to study the chronic effects of psychosocial stress exposure on the AGR, because lower social rank is known to be associated with chronic stress. The study will compare stress responses in animals of low, medium, and high social rank. For an examination of the effects of acute stress in these groups, all animals will be scanned shortly after transportation from the Primate Center field station to the main center, and then again, 5-7 days later. Because the transportation from the field station is a stressful experience for the animal, the first scan will be considered an "acute stress scan", while the second scan is expected to reflect a control scan.
Aim 1: Determine whether the AGR is detectable using MRS in anesthetized animals.
Aim 2: Explore associations between serum markers of stress axis and the detected changes in the medial frontal cortex.

Genetic variation in the response to yellow fever in nonhuman primates
The COVID-19 pandemic is an obvious example for the fact humans can develop severe symptoms to zoonotic diseases that lead to only mild symptoms in their natural host. Similar examples exist for other diseases, some of which involve nonhuman primate species. The study of species differences in immunity, contrasting species that are sensitive to those that are only minimally affects may lead to insights into strategies to control infection. Recent studies established genetic variation is a key factor that influences immune responses and disease susceptibility.
The planned studies will investigate the transcriptomic response to yellow fever, a disease that leads to different outcomes in two monkey species, sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) and rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). Sooty mangabeys are a natural host to yellow fever and develop only mild symptoms, while yellow fever infections in rhesus macaques are severe, similar to the response in humans. The
The planned in vitro studies will use infections of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with yellow fever virus and subsequent single-cell RNA sequencing to generate a fine-grained picture of how genetic variation shapes gene expression during the immune response across the different cell types found in PBMCs, allowing the capture of critical interactions between immune cells. This study will provide preliminary results for future studies that will examine immune mechanisms that may underlie differences in the susceptibility to infectious diseases. This line of research is anticipated to have broad implications for understanding primate adaptation, host-pathogen evolution, and immune variation.
Aim 1: Characterize the immunogenetic response to yellow fever in nonhuman primates and compare the results to data obtained in human patients with yellow fever.
Aim 2: Identify genetic variation which affects the immune response to yellow fever.

Single-Cell Profiling of Immune Activation After Early Life Adversity
Early life stress adversely affects health, increases the susceptibility to stress and negatively affects immune functions. Leveraging samples collected by researchers in the EPC Division of Developmental and Cognitive Neuroscience (DCN) at the center's Field Station, Dr. Gourley and her research team will identify how chronic social subordination stress in monkeys early in life results in individual differences in immune system functions. The team hypothesizes early life stress induces similar transcriptional changes in peripheral blood monocytes in rhesus macaques and mice, and the number and gene expression profiles of monocytes correlates with behavioral deficits in mice exposed to early life social adversity.
Aim 1: The research team will analyze cell-type specific immune functions in macaques, comparing animals that experienced chronic social subordination stress to others that did not experience such stress.
Aim 2: The research team will carry out similar studies in mice.

Dissecting the Mechanisms of SARS-COV2 Protection Induced by 3M-052+alum+RBD Vaccination in the Upper Respiratory Tract of Rhesus Macaques
The effectiveness of current COVID-19 vaccines varies from 60% to more than 90%. While vaccination reduces hospitalization, it does not avoid infection. Dr. Ribeiro's research team has developed a vaccine based on the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2
spike protein formulated with alum, with or without the 3M-052, a TLR-7/8 agonist. They found adding 3M-052 to the vaccination in rhesus macaques significantly decreased virus replication in nasal swabs (thus, reduced infectivity), despite inducing similar titers of neutralizing antibody in the bronchioalveolar lavage fluid. This suggests the 3M-052 vaccination induces additional immune modulation in the upper respiratory tract, an effect that could be used to develop next-generation vaccination approaches.
Aim 1: The researchers will study vaccination-induced changes in gene signatures of immune cells in the upper respiratory tract.
Aim 2: The researchers will evaluate the lung microenvironment in which such gene signature changes occur.
Sudhir Pai Kasturi, PhD
Evaluating a new SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) based COVID-19 vaccine with clinical alum and alum adsorbed 3M-052 adjuvants in rhesus macaques
Significance: COVID-19 is a new infectious disease in humans caused by a novel coronavirus (CoV) named SARS-CoV-2. The rapid global spread of SARS-CoV-2 infections highlights an urgent need for a vaccine and/or therapeutics to stem the pandemic.
Specific Aim: To evaluate a new SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) based COVID-19 vaccine with clinical alum and alum adsorbed 3M-052 adjuvants in rhesus macaques
Mirko Paiardini, PhD
Determining SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis, viral dynamics, and immune responses in nonhuman primate models
Significance: Little is known regarding the viral pathogenesis and immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Given the devastation the disease is causing worldwide, it is imperative to elucidate the viral pathogenesis and early immune responses that may inform the treatment of infected individuals, identification of correlates of protection, and design of therapeutics and vaccines.
Specific Aim #1: To characterize the breadth of the early innate and adaptive immune response and pathogenesis of SARSCoV-2 infection systemically and localized within the respiratory tract.
Specific Aim #2: To assess the replication kinetics and tissue localization of SARS-CoV-2. Thomas Vanderford, PhD, Director of the EPC Virology Core will lead this component of the pilot project.

Arbitrator orders rehiring of nine umps
Associated Press
NEW YORK Nine of the 22 umpires terminated by baseball two years ago following a failed mass resignation were given their jobs back Friday by an arbitrator.
Major league baseball was ordered to rehire Drew Coble, Gary Darling, Bill Hohn, Greg Kosc, Larry Poncino, Larry Vanover and Joe West.
In addition, arbitrator Alan Symonette ordered baseball to take back two umpires who have said they intend to retire: Frank Pulli and Terry Tata.
Baseball also was ordered to give the nine back pay for the time they missed.
Left out were 13 umpires, including well-known faces such as Richie Garcia and Eric Gregg.
"It's not a good day. It's only a sad day," West said. "I feel like a plane went down with a lot of my friends."
Symonette began hearing the case Dec. 13, 1999, and testimony dragged on until Aug. 29, 2000. The sides then spent months working on legal papers, and Symonette took several months to write his decision.
"I'm saddened by the fact that 13 of my colleagues and a lot of good friends apparently are not going to have jobs at this time," Larry Young, an umpire crew chief, said in Chicago. "My whole crew is down in the dumps right now. ... We were hoping we could all get back together. We were hoping they all would be reinstated."
Several of the umpires let go had economic hardships. Gregg said he borrowed money from present and former umpires to pay his mortgage.
"It's been hell for them," veteran crew chief Ed Montague said in Toronto. "They haven't had a paycheck in almost two years."
Commissioner Bud Selig's office, which pushed for a hard line on the umpires, had a mixed reaction.
"While feeling vindicated that its core position that the umpires resigned and that MLB had the right to hire replacements was upheld, we are at a loss to understand the arbitrator's conclusions with respect to some of the National League umpires," the commissioner's office said in a statement.
"Major league baseball will thoroughly examine the opinion and consider what further action is appropriate."
Arbitrator's decisions generally are difficult to overturn in court unless the side appealing can show bias.
"I am obviously very pleased for the nine umpires who got their jobs back with back pay and very disappointed about the 13 who didn't," said Pat Campbell, who argued the case for the 22.
If baseball balks at rehiring the umpires, they would have to seek a federal court order to get Symonette's decision enforced.
"It's really too early to tell what's going to happen," umpire Tim Welke said.
Symonette, according to two lawyers familiar with decision, concluded in his 100-page opinion that former National League president Len Coleman "abused his discretion" in not clearly explaining why certain umpires were fired.
Coleman had said he would make his decisions based on "merit" and "skill," invoking words in the umpires' collective bargaining agreement, but gave no rationale, Symonette said.
Symonette gave an umpire-and-umpire analysis on which umpires to bring back. He decided Coleman was justified in not rehiring Gregg, criticized by many in baseball for his weight and wide strike zone and Hallion, criticized for his "temperament."
Symonette noted that West also had temperament problems, but ordered him rehired.
As for the AL umps, Symonette concluded Coble and Kosc didn't quit because they never resigned in writing but upheld the other AL terminations.
With the returning umpires added in, more veterans will be on the field.
"I'm glad. Those guys are all good umpires," Atlanta Braves pitcher Greg Maddux said. "It's unfortunate that it had to happen the way it did, but it's nice to have them back. You can't teach experience."
Last September, as part of negotiations for a new labor contract, baseball had offered to rehire 10 of the 22 at the major league level, rehire three at the minor league level, give four buyouts and allow the other five to retire.
Richie Phillips' Major League Umpires Association rejected that offer, preferring to take its chances with Symonette.
The 10 who would have been rehired in the majors under the offer, according to two lawyers speaking on the condition they not be identified, were Coble, Darling, Bob Davidson, Bruce Dreckman, Jim Evans, Garcia, Tom Hallion, Hohn, Poncino and Vanover.
Hired at the minor league level would have been Ed Hickox, Sam Holbrook and Paul Nauert.
Dale Ford, Ken Kaiser, Larry McCoy, Pulli and Tata would have retired; and Gregg, Mark Johnson, Kosc and West would have been given buyouts. Pulli currently is working as an umpire supervisor.
"You'd like to have 22 of them back," AL umpires Tim McClelland said. "My sympathy goes out to the guys who are not coming back. I'm happy for the guys that are. I've just been hoping that everybody gets their job back."
At the behest of Phillips, umpires submitted mass resignations in July 1999, pushing for an early start to negotiations to replace the labor contract that ran through that December.
Most AL umps either quickly withdrew their resignations or failed to resign, causing the strategy to collapse. By then, owners had hired 25 new umps from the minor leagues and got rid of the 22. Phillips' union agreed to the arbitration as part of the settlement of a federal lawsuit that followed.
The umps opposed to Phillips formed a new union, won a federally supervised vote, and replaced the MLUA in February 2000. They agreed to a new labor contract Aug. 31 that allowed owners to merge the AL and NL umps into a unified staff.

Chapter: Using cache
|« Useful global objects
|^ Advanced development
|Create scripts to install the application »
− Table of content
jCache is a class to store any data in a cache system like memcache. It supports other kind of storage like files or a SQL database.
Note that jCache doesn't use jKVDb as a backend, but it could use it in next versions.
Configuration ¶
You should declare storages in a
var/config/profiles.ini.php file. See the corresponding chapter to know how to use this file. It may contain some section, corresponding to a "profile", like for jDb or jKVDb.
The connection type to indicate in profile names is
Each profile must declare these properties:
driver: the driver name for the storage backend
enabled: to enable or disable the cache for this profile (
0). You can then disable the cache without modifying your classes, when you develop or want to debug something.
ttl: the default time to live of data, in seconds. 0 means no timeout.
Depending of the driver, you may have additional parameters.
memcache backend ¶
It is a driver for memcache, using the memcache API of PHP (not memcached API).
The configuration parameter is
server, containing a list of host and port.
servers = memcache_host1:11211,memcache_host2:11211,memcache_host3:11211
file backend ¶
It is similar to the file driver of jKVDb. Here are its configuration parameters:
cache_dir: the directory where to store the files. by default:
file_locking=1to disable or enable file locking (keep to 1 is better)
directory level: Set the directory structure level. 0 means "no directory structure", 1 means "one level of directory", 2 means "two levels"...
directory_umask: umask for directory structure (default '0700')
file_name_prefix: prefix for cache files (default 'jelix_cache')
cache_file_umask: umask for cache files (default '0600')
sql backend ¶
This driver uses a sql table to store cache values. The installer of jelix creates the needed table if you use this backend. If it is already installed, during developpement, use one of the
lib/jelix/core-modules/jelix/install/sql/install_jcache.schema.* files to create the table.
Configuration parameters:
dao: indicates the dao to use. By default, jelix~cache.
dbprofile: the jDb profile to use.
Using jCache ¶
To store and read from the cache system, call one of the static methods of jCache.
jCache::get($key): to retrieve the value corresponding to the given key.
jCache::set($key, $value, $ttl): to store a new value or modify an existing value. $ttl is optional
jCache::delete($key): delete the given key-value
jCache::increment($key): increment the value. You can indicate also the value of the incrementation
jCache::decrement($key): decrement the value. You can indicate also the value of the decrementation
jCache::add($key, $value): to store a new value. return false if the key already exists
jCache::replace($key,$value, $ttl): to change the value of the corresponding key. If the key doesn't exist, it returns false. $ttl is optional.
jCache::garbage(): delete all expired keys
jCache::flush(): delete all keys
jCache::call($fn, $fnargs, $ttl): get the value corresponding to the function name/args. If it is not set, call the function $fn with arguments $fnargs, which should return a value. This value is then put into the cache.
All this static methods accept as last argument a profile. By default, the "default" profile will be used.

The 7 Step Guitar Riff Workout Part 2
How To Generate Hours Of Music With One Single Guitar Riff
by Simon Candy
In part 1 of this lesson I took you through the first 3 steps of my 7 step guitar riff workout lesson.
Today we will complete the workout with the final 4 steps required to truly take the riffs you learn and have them become part of your guitar playing where you can draw upon them time and time again to create incredible music. As you started to learn in part 1 of this lesson, there is much more than meets the eye regarding getting riffs into your guitar playing from which to then create and improvise your own music.
It requires a workout of sorts to achieve this, hence the 7 Step Guitar Riff Workout!
Here is a summary of the steps covered so far in our workout:
1. Learn The Riff
Obvious yes, however many stop here expecting the job is done.
2. Applying Riffs To Different Musical Contexts
There are many ways to apply one riff on guitar, giving different results each time. Great players learn fewer riffs with more ways to apply each, effectively multiplying the riffs they know.
3. Scale Connection
Connect the riffs you learn to the scales they come from to create entry points in and out of the riff.
Let's now continue the workout to more easily enable you to create incredible sounding music using riffs on your guitar.
4. Move Riffs Around To Different Positions On The Fretboard
A great way to open up the fretboard to understand and visualise it on a whole new level is to take a riff and learn to play it in multiple positions.
Why bother doing this?
Many reasons.
As already stated, being able to visualise and play a riff all over the neck of your guitar will deepen your understanding of the relationships the fretboard holds. Playing riffs in multiple positions will have you naturally phrase the riff differently a lot of the time because the notes of the riff will fall under your fingers differently in some positions compared to others. You will also have more opportunities to use the riff in your playing as there will be a version of it around wherever you are on the fretboard.
Let's apply this approach to our riff.
Example 1
We will start by moving our riff to the higher octave within pattern 1 pentatonic scale, the original scale we created the riff in:
Notice that moving the riff causes the notes to fall under our fingers differently.
When adding slides, hammer on's, pull off's (which we will be doing shortly), this will provide different phrasing possibilities which has everything to do with how musical and interesting your riffs sound.
Example 2
In this example I am moving the riff back to the original octave, however this time within pattern 5 pentatonic scale:
Example 3
Next let's move our riff to the top of pentatonic scale pattern 2:
By moving the riff to the top of pattern 2 we are presented with a third possibility regarding how the notes fall under our fingers.
Example 4
Here I will move our riff to the lower octave of pentatonic pattern 2:
Notice that in this position the riff falls under your fingers as it did in examples 1 and 2.
Example 5
Now let's move the riff to the lower octave of pattern 3:
Notice with pattern 3 the riff falls under our fingers the same as it did in the original position within pattern 1, before we started moving it around the fretboard.
Example 6
Here is our riff venturing into pattern 4 of the pentatonic scale:
This pattern throws up yet another possibility regarding how the notes of our riff fall under the fingers.
Example 7
When placed in the lower octave of pattern 4 the riff once again falls under the fingers as it did in examples 1, 2, and 4:
Example 8
Finally, let's move our riff into pattern 5 of the pentatonic scale:
Simply learning the riff in each position above and then switching between them at regular intervals will do wonders for your ability to be shifting between the different pentatonic scales and actually working in each shape rather than on each shape.
So many more things could be included here with this step, but I must stop or else we will never get through the workout! :)
5. Pitch The Riff
A great way to develop your ear and the ability to play what you hear in your head on the guitar is to use your voice to pitch the notes of the riff as you play them. In general this is a great thing to do with anything you play on guitar. You don't have to do it every single time you play something, however regularly doing this will help connect your voice to the guitar.
It is not about singing per se. Believe me, I cannot sing to save my life :) However it is about developing the ability to play melodically on the guitar. You are essentially installing the riff into your ear so it can be more easily recalled when needed by pitching along with it as you play. In the beginning your fingers are revealing the notes/riff to your voice, so your fingers are essentially guiding your voice, leading the way.
In time and with some practice this process switches. Your voice will start to guide your fingers producing more melodic/musical choices in your playing. When I am improvising and finding I am not coming up with much that I like, I use my voice. Instantly I start to play more melodically and naturally.
Music comes from within. Using your voice is great way to get out what you are hearing/feeling onto the guitar. This point alone is quite a big topic. So I'll stop here, other than to say, be sure to use your voice to pitch along with the riffs you learn on guitar. Just be patient as it may take a little getting use to, but with a little practice you'll start to resonate more and more with the riffs you play on guitar.
6. Create Variations Of Riff
Taking the riffs you learn on guitar and creating variations of them is a great way to develop your improvisational skills. When soloing on guitar the riffs you play should relate to one another. They should tell a story. Playing one random riff after another, even in the same key, is called noodling and won't sound like a cohesive/congruent solo.
Great solos have a lot of repetition with variation of riffs to create a theme from which to solo around. Just like a story or a movie, there needs to be a storyline, and then development of that story line leading to a climax.
While this article is not about creating a solo, creating variations of the riffs you play will help you naturally construct your solos and improvisations in such a way.
There are two basic ways to create a variation of your riff:
1. Melodic
2. Rhythmic
Let's take a look at each.
Melodic Riff Variation
Creating a melodic variation of a riff is to simply alter the pitch of the notes of the riff in some way. You don't want to change too much or else you'll end up with a completely different riff. It still needs to relate to the original riff as it is a variation of it.
Let's have a look at some example melodic variations of our riff.
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Notice with each variation above I have kept the same rhythm as well as the same notes. All I have done is change the order of the notes. In doing so each melodic variation relates back to the original riff. I could've added a note or two, and it would still be ok, I just chose not to do this.
Rhythmic Riff Variation
A rhythmic variation is all about changing the value/length of some or all of the notes of the riff, without changing the pitch.
Rhythmic Variation 1
In this first example I have increased the length of the riff overall by giving some notes longer durations:
Rhythmic Variation 2
Here I have added a triplet for a cool rhythmic variation of our riff:
Rhythmic Variation 3
The variation in this third example is perhaps a little more subtle:
At first it may appear nothing has changed as I am using all 8th notes as the original riff did. However I am starting the riff on a different part of the bar. The original riff started on the first beat of the bar. In this example it begins on the off beat of two. Moving a riff around the bar like this creates a very cool rhythmic variation.
Phrasing Variations
While we are talking about variations, another great way to vary your riff is to look at different ways you can play the notes. Switching your focus from what notes to play to how should I play each note will change your guitar playing!
How you approach playing a note is often referred to as phrasing that note. I have purposely left out any real phrasing with our riff to this point in time.
Below are some different ways you could go about phrasing the riff to make it sound a lot more musical and far more expressive. These first two examples use a combination of slides, hammer on's, and pull off's, collectively known as legato playing, to bring more expression to our riff:
Example 1
Example 2
The result over all is a much smoother sounding riff.
Notice in the second example I finish the riff by sliding up to the 12th fret of the 5th string. I am actually finishing on the same note as I did in the first example, only on the string below for a cool effect.
In the next two examples I use some double stops and open strings:
Example 3
Example 4
In example 3 the double stops bring a whole new texture to our riff which creates a nice contrast in sound against the single notes.
Example 4 sees the addition of open strings. The sound of open strings resonating against fretted notes outside of the open position of the guitar is a whole different ball game in itself.
Here you get a glimpse into the wonderful world of open string guitar riffs for your solo playing
7. Integrate Riff With Other Riffs
Perhaps the most important step in our guitar riff workout, and a step missed by many players, is in connecting the riff you are learning into your guitar playing. Just because you can do something great in isolation, does not mean you can do it when it counts, within the context of soloing (ie. amongst other things you can do on guitar).
You need to be able to naturally connect into your riffs in real time when soloing/improvising on guitar.
There are many levels to doing this, however let's look at connecting in and out of our riff whilst playing other riffs on guitar. This is similar to step 3 in part 1 of the guitar riff workout lesson where we were connecting our riff to the scale it came from.
To provide you with an example of what I am talking about here, I need to introduce to you a number of different riffs that we will be using for this.
Here they are:
Integration Riff 1
Integration Riff 2
Integration Riff 3
Each of the riffs above are what we will use to connect our riff to. These represent riffs you would already know. So when doing this yourself, you should already know riffs 1, 2, and 3.
You are not trying to learn new riffs here, but rather connect one riff with 3 others that are already part of your playing.
With that said, the following is an example of how this would play out:
The idea in the example above is to connect in and out of the riff with the other 3 riffs. It's like you are introducing the new riff to the other riffs you already know. Soon enough they will get to know each other really well and get along just fine, meaning you will be able to easily connect into the riff as you solo on your guitar.
I hope that makes sense to you as this is such a crucial step. There is no point learning a new riff if you cannot connect to it in real time when soloing on your guitar.
When you listen to the example above you will notice there is no gap between each riff as I play it. Once I finish one riff I immediately start playing the next one. Musically this sounds awkward at best. However we are not trying to be musical here at all. This is a training drill to easily and effortlessly connect your riff into your guitar playing. Giving yourself no time to do so helps train the brain to quickly make the connection.
So there you have it, the 7 step guitar riff workout that is sure to take any riff you like and not only cement it into your guitar playing for good, but make you a much better musician too.
Here is a summary of the workout for you:
1. Learning The Riff
2. Applying The Riff To Different Musical Contexts
3. Connecting The Riff To Its Scale Of Origin
4. Moving The Riff To Other Positions On Guitar
5. Pitching The Riff To Internalise It
6. Creating Variations Of The Riff
7. Integrating The Riff With Other Riffs And Elements Of Your Guitar Playing

Oh, baby girl, Mondays are hard on me, too. Every Monday morning, when we make our way into the older toddler class at the school where you've spent the majority of your little life. You cling to me tight with your head buried deep against my chest, your fists clenched, and your legs clamped around my waist like a little Koala bear. "Mommy Mondays," your teacher calls it; the work week's cruel post script to the Sunday Scaries. Believe me, sweet one, when I tell you that the first school drop-off of the week isn't easy for me either.
For me, Monday mornings are like flicking on a too-bright light before your eyes have time to adjust to the dark. And with this stark reality, it's much too easy for me to feel my anxiety rising about the traffic, emails, and meetings that lay before me in the day ahead.
I'm learning to understand that your resistance to get ready and leave the house in the morning is not bad behavior or defiant toddler naughtiness-It's pure love and longing to stay in the place you feel the most secure, with the people you most love. And for that, I can find a few extra minutes to gather my patience and actually feel like I'm doing something right as your mama.
I'm grateful and proud of the home that we've made your own, and the routines and the rituals that put you at ease. The Saturday morning cartoon snuggles, and Sunday afternoon Play-Doh sessions are special to me and your daddy, too.
So please know, baby girl, when we struggle through the carseat wrestle and the clingy daycare drop-off on Monday morning, I feel it too. After a cozy and happy weekend, I feel like I've broken off a piece of my heart and left it out in the wild. And of course I feel that way – you are a part of me, and I of you.
But it's okay, because I'll slowly slink out of the daycare room while your teachers get you distracted with circle time. And I'll carry you tethered to my heart and on the edge of my mind all day. You will be my happy place when I need a grounding moment.

Buying your first home can be a confusing process, and one of the most confusing aspects is financing the home. If you're not financially savvy some of the terminology used in the mortgage industry can make your head spin.
When my husband and I took our our mortgage, one of the things we needed to learn about was "points." What is a point? Why would you want to pay points? What are the advantages? The disadvantages?
If you're shopping for a mortgage and want to know more about points, you're in luck! You can learn from my experience!
What are Mortgage Points?
There are two different kinds of mortgage points. The first type are loan origination points. These points are basically fees that compensate loan officers. These points don't benefit the home buyer and should be avoided or minimized if at all possible.
The other kind of mortgage points, discount points, are the points most potential homeowners want to know about. One discount point costs 1% of the amount of the loan, and each discount point reduces the interest rate of the loan.
Basically, if you're taking out a $100,000 loan, you can pay points at $1,000 each to reduce the interest rate on your mortgage, usually in 0.25% increments. Most lenders cap the amount of points you can pay to 3. Thus, you can reduce your interest rate by about 0.75% if you pay three points (or $3,000 in our example).
The Advantages of Paying Points
Points are very attractive to homeowners who are less worried about the up front cost of their mortgage and more concerned about monthly payments. With lower interest payments, a monthly mortgage payment becomes more affordable for the average family. Paying points up front reduces the monthly cost of the loan.
It's a good idea to pay for discount points if you want to stay in your house a long time. Over the long term, you will recoup the money you pay up front in the savings you gain from your lower interest rates.
In addition, since a discount point is considered mortgage interest, you can deduct the amount you pay for points on your tax return.
The Disadvantages of Paying Points
If you aren't planning on staying in your home for a long time, you may be better off just paying the original interest rate. You'll need to do some calculations to figure out when your monthly interest savings equals the money you would pay up front for those points. The break even point is generally around 5 years. If you plan on staying in your home less time than the time it takes to break even, don't pay the points.
Also, if you're struggling to pay for the up front fees associated with buying a home (down payment, inspections, etc), it may not be worth it to pay points. Make sure you have enough money in savings to handle emergencies that could arise from being a homeowner. Your peace of mind is more important than a lower interest rate.
So to answer the question of whether or not you should buy discount points, like most financial decisions, the answer depends on your individual situation. Now, however, you can make an informed decision.
If you have a mortgage, did you pay discount points?

The Air Force Falcons still need to win the season finale against the Colorado St. Rams on Saturday, but if they do pick up the victory, the Military Bowl could be calling for them. Both ESPN and Scout.com project the Falcons to participate in the Dec. 28 game in Washington, D.C.
The Navy Midshipmen would have had the tie-in to this bowl game, but the team is not bowl-eligible this season. Also, Conference USA has a tie-in for that spot, but there aren't any teams that project for this bowl. That allows the Northrop Grumman-sponsored bowl to take another service academy, the Air Force Falcons.
The Falcons will face an ACC opponent, and right now the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons could make the bowl.

How to Prepare Your Home for Pest Control Services
Any home is vulnerable to a pest infestation without the proper precautions and can't be resolved with do-it-yourself solutions.
That is a serious problem for homeowners and apartment dwellers alike. After all, even your basic cockroach can spread intestinal diseases. The diseases spread by rodents often prove far more serious and sometimes life-threatening.
Pest control professionals can take care of infestations for you, but it's important to set up your home for their visit. Keep reading for some essential tips on prepping your home for exterminators to deal with a few common pests.
General Home Cleaning
Cleaning up your home makes it less pest friendly. Mop down any tile or linoleum floors and sanitize any hardwood.
Take a vacuum or carpet cleaner to your rugs and carpets. Wash your bedding and vacuum the mattresses. This helps remove eggs and other contaminants.
Many insects like moisture, so fix any minor water leaks you find in your home.
Move Furniture
Insects and other pests often move along your walls behind large pieces of furniture. You can make the pest control technician's visit far more effective by moving furniture off the walls. This lets them apply pest control products in areas that normally escape attention or cleaning.
Safety tip: Get help when moving large furniture items to avoid injury.
Note Locations
The pest control specialist won't know where your home needs the most attention without some guidance. After all, some pests stay out of sight most of the time or may only come out at odd hours.
Write down the places in your home where you most commonly see pests. Give the technician the list when they arrive for your appointment. This helps ensure that infested areas get the right attention.
Pack Away Belongings
There are always some items in any home that shouldn't get exposed to any kind of pest control services. Think clothing, bedding, kids' toys, and food.
Put these items into plastic containers with lids. For food items, in particular, make sure the containers offer an airtight seal. As an added bonus, keeping food in airtight containers also helps keep pests at bay.
How to Prepare Your Home for Pest Control Services
There are several things you can do to prepare your home for pest control services.
Give your home a solid cleaning ahead of the appointment. Move furniture so the pest control specialist can access the areas along the walls. Write down the places you regularly spot pests in your home. Pack away your belongings into plastic containers with lids. Remember, you want an airtight seal for any container that will contain food items.
Pestroy provides commercial and residential pest control services in the Montreal area. If you need help with a pest infestation, contact Pestroy today.

Back on September 10, we reported on Sony Masterworks' Broadway in a Box, a 25-CD primer on the impressive musical theatre catalogue of Columbia, RCA Victor and associated labels. Contemplating Masterworks' vast library, we opined, "A deluxe Rodgers and Hammerstein box could represent each of the duo's stage musicals (save the posthumous adaptation of State Fair) with a disc from the Columbia and RCA Victor archives." Well, such a deluxe box set is here, much sooner than we anticipated!
On November 6, Masterworks will unveil Rodgers and Hammerstein: The Complete Broadway Musicals. The 12-CD box set includes one recording of each of the team's eleven musicals, including the 1957 written-for-television Cinderella, which will make its Broadway debut in a revised version this winter. It even includes the aforementioned State Fair! Written as a 1945 film musical, State Fair finally made its way to Broadway in 1996, and the new box set includes the cast recording which originally appeared on the DRG label.
Though the partnership of Richard Rodgers (1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960) ended with Hammerstein's death in 1960, their work still represents the pinnacle of the Broadway musical, with its influence felt even today. Both men were pioneers even before they worked together. Rodgers had written a string of famed musicals with lyricist Lorenz Hart, including On Your Toes, Babes in Arms and Pal Joey. The Rodgers/Hart duo yielded perhaps the greatest run of standards in popular music history; "Where or When," "The Lady is a Tramp," "Blue Moon," "It Never Entered My Mind," "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," and "I Could Write a Book" are just a few. Hammerstein specialized in operetta, and his work with Sigmund Romberg (The Desert Song, The New Moon) and Rudolf Friml (Rose-Marie) was, at first blush, a far cry from Rodgers and Hart's insouciant, jazzy musical comedies. With composer Jerome Kern, however, Hammerstein broke new ground with 1927's Show Boat, one of the most forward-thinking musicals of its day. Show Boat was a sprawling, serious fusion of music, dialogue and dance, and introduced a number of standards itself, including, of course, "Old Man River."
The Rodgers and Hart partnership went on a temporary hiatus in 1943 when Rodgers teamed Hammerstein, already accomplished as a playwright, lyricist and director. Their first musical together was Oklahoma! The rest is history. That collaboration changed the face of musical theatre, perfecting the art of integrating song, dance and dialogue into a seamless whole. Rodgers and Hart had one final hurrah reteaming to write new material for a revival of their 1927 A Connecticut Yankee, but Hart died soon after, and Rodgers and Hammerstein, the team, was solidified. But this was a largely different Rodgers, composing sweeping, majestic, dramatic melodies for "musicals," often a different animal than the pure musical comedies and operettas that had come before.
Exactly what shows, in which recordings, will you find on Rodgers and Hammerstein: The Complete Broadway Musicals? Just hit the jump!
Masterworks' box set is chronologically arranged by the year each Rodgers and Hammerstein musical debuted on Broadway. And so it begins with 1943's Oklahoma!, heard in its 1979 Broadway Cast Recording (originally on RCA) of the revival directed by Oscar's son, James Hammerstein. Two other revivals appear: 1965's Music Theater of Lincoln Center Cast Recording of Carousel (1945), in which original star John Raitt reprised his role of Billy Bigelow, and 1977's Broadway Cast Recording of The King and I (1951), with Yul Brynner again as The King.
Although RCA Victor recorded the original cast of the "concept musical" Allegro in 1947, the daring musical is instead represented by its complete, 2-CD studio cast recording from 2008 starring Patrick Wilson and Audra McDonald. The first-ever cast recordings of 1949's South Pacific, 1958's Flower Drum Song, 1957's Cinderella (a television soundtrack album, though re-recorded in the studio) and 1959's The Sound of Music all appear from the Columbia Records catalogue. 1953's Me and Juliet and 1955's Pipe Dream are represented by their original RCA Victor albums. State Fair (1996) first was released on DRG. Mary Martin appears twice, on South Pacific and The Sound of Music, while Julie Andrews, Martin's successor as Maria in the film version of the latter, makes a winsome Cinderella.
This deluxe set contains 12 CDs, packaged in mini-LP sleeves with the original cover art. Differentiating from the cube format of Broadway in a Box, the discs this time are housed in a a lavish package containing a 12" x 12", 100-page book. This includes essays on each show, rare production and behind-the-scenes photos, liner notes by Ted Chapin (President of the Rodgers & Hammerstein organization), biographies, credits, and more.
Rodgers & Hammerstein: The Complete Broadway Musicals arrives from Sony Masterworks on November 6 and can be pre-ordered below!

New Study out of Canada Cites Big Data as a Key Advantage for Player Engagement AnalyticsPublished February 7, 2020 by Lee R
A Canada study finds the iGaming market is positioned like no other to gather data for future player engagement.
Online gambling is reaching the astronomical level of $20 billion a year in turnover per annum.
Leading Market Growth
When one considers that the internet barely existed twenty years, ago, this represents incredible growth from scratch for any business.
That growth also requires large scale management and efficient foresight, complete with the most optimized and effective data gathering tools about player preferences and profiles of the future.
New Attitudes Toward Technology
As the novelty of iGaming wears off to become the norm, a Canada study finds the next generation of iGamers will become accustomed to expecting services through a single swipe, and is adapting its iGaming planning accordingly.
Big Data's Impact
SAS Canada cites the use of big data to gather the necessary insights to drive the popularity of iGaming, with the goal of using today's big data analytics to "go beyond business intelligence and reporting to include prediction, forecasting and optimization."
Built-in Data
The modality of the online registration provides a data advantage because of the player preference and characteristic data collected about them before they start playing, as a "built-in" data collection technique for vital statistics such as gender, age, location and more.
Key Analytics
The play behavior of each individual also contributes to rapid big data collection and profiling, from characteristics the study cites in online usage such as games played, what happened in the game, and win/loss ratios.
Behavior Plus Sign-up Data
These real time figures can be combined with what is already known about players at sign-up to provide in-depth profiles that positions the operator to use real-time information to position themselves to maximize their chances for engagement by "delivering the right offer at the right time to the right person."
The iGaming Advantage
While this may seem self-evident to insiders, these components represent a superior set of resources and an enhanced business model for the rest of the world, and others who might be looking to enter the industry.
Further Analytical Yields
The collection of this data can lead to more advanced analytics in the near future for iGaming operators including Supplier/Game Analytics which serve back to inform classic marketing enhancements including cross sell and upsell capabilities, and segmentation adaptation.
Big data becomes the new reserve from which to draw effective player forecasts to maximize engagement and give the iGaming industry a leg up on other industries when it comes to data collection, which is a huge selling point for new entry and increasing competition which will only serve to drive market growth that much more effectively and with greater strength.

The car shudders noticeably when accelerating between ~25 and ~45 mph. Once I am driving at high speeds everything is smooth. I just had my tires rotated; this did not fix the problem. I had the car inspected and suspension was also not a problem. Do you know what else could be causing this?

Hi there. Check the engine and transmission mounts on your vehicle. When accelerating quickly, the engine and transmission move around causing the loose or broken mounts to make the engine and transmission move around violently making the front tires to jerk side to side. This will make the vehicle shutter at low speeds and continue until the throttle is matched with the road speed. If you need further assistance with your vehicle shuttering at low speeds, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.

Why DC needed a place like DC Jobs with Justice
Jos Williams
Former President, Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO
"When I became president [of the Metro Labor Council AFL-CIO], which was in 1982, you had a city that was really dominated by the business community. They had the power up on the Hill, because the Hill ran the District of Columbia. So it was a struggle for labor to get a real foothold in this city and make things happen. We really did not have a place where we could go and have an impact and get things done. Whether it was housing, whether it was wages. A small group of us started talking. How do we work together?
How do we build a movement where people don't see each individual part, but see the bigger group coming together to work for common issues?
Hence this concept of an institution that could bring us all together, that would be the hub, you would have all these spokes and we were all tied together through that hub. And the hub became DC Jobs with Justice.
Make a gift to DC Jobs With Justice in solidarity with Jos
As DC JWJ marks our 20th anniversary, your gift will ensure continued advocacy, organizing and coalition building to advance economic justice for poor, working families in our Nation's Capital.

Excluded Workers
Together with immigrant justice organizations and service providers, faith communities, unions, sex worker organizations, and returning citizens organizations, DC JWJ led the Excluded Workers campaign calling for cash assistance for excluded workers.
Living Wage Law
In 2005, DC JWJ convened a broad coalition of labor unions, grassroots community organizations, social service providers and faith leaders to pass a law to ensure a base wage of $11.75 per hour for all direct DC employees, and employees of DC contractors.
Drivers License Access
In 2013, 32BJ and DC JWJ and a coalition of partners worked together to achieve a historic law making District residents eligible for a driver's license or DC identification card regardless of citizenship or immigration status.

The rabbis taught: "Sins between man and God are atoned for by Yom Kippur; those between man and his fellow, Yom Kippur does not atone for, until he appeases his fellow" (Mishna Yoma 8:9). But how does one atone for an ideology that has failed to achieve its aims? How does a worldview atone for its errors? How is it to be forgiven? Our generation had hoped to bring to the Jewish world, through feminism, a mutual respect and closeness between men and women. Have we succeeded?
At the beginning of the Hebrew new year we encounter the amazing character of Hannah, mother of Samuel. In despair and despondent at being barren, jealous and contending with her rival Peninnah, suffering humiliation and scorn by Eli the high priest - from out of this desolate state is forged a revolutionary figure who bequeaths the power of quiet prayer to her people, prayer that serves as a channel for the yearning to bond with the Divine Presence that fills the world. The strengthened soul transforms a "woman of sorrowful spirit... who spoke in her heart but her voice could not be heard" (I Samuel 1:13) into "a woman standing upright who prays to God" (1:26) and praises Him for "raising up the needy" (2:8).
What was Hannah's emotional and spiritual state such that she "cast her words upward" (B. Brachot 31b) and was answered? What brought about the derivation of many important halachot based on Hannah's prayer (B. Brachot 31a)? This spiritual and intellectual greatness was preceded by an emotional profundity and deep covenant between Hannah and her husband, Elkanah. "Why do you weep, and not eat, and grieve so?" (I Samuel 1:8), wonders the man who witnesses her suffering. He reminds her of his unconditional love for her, which consists of emotional closeness, empathy for one who suffers, accentuation of joy in what there is that mitigates anguish over what is lacking.
Over the past decades we Jewish feminists have focused too much upon technical halachic equality, easily misused to serve as a fig leaf that conceals tremendous alienation between men and women. If counting women in a minyan or calling them up to the Torah does not bring about an increased emotional closeness between men and women, a decrease in the phenomena of bachelorhood, divorce, sexual licentiousness and loneliness; if it does not strengthen us against addictive self-absorption, and encourage respect for the sexual difference between boys and girls and a greater effort to reconcile the two (a challenge akin to the Splitting of the Sea among today's youth); if we do not take responsibility to provide work for women who are older or more frail; what have we gained by these halachic rulings?
We have transgressed in focusing upon technical equality over the years instead of directing ourselves and our sons and daughters toward developing relations characterized by friendship and fraternity, between man and wife in the home, men and women in the workplace, the study hall and the synagogue. I pray that the gates of peace between men and women be opened, and that the new year brings with it a covenant of closeness and partnership.

Gordon, was published in 2007.

Trump Announces Return of U.S. to the Moon, Will Need Larouche's Four Laws to Get There
Dec. 12 -- On December 11, President Donald Trump signed a new space directive, opening the door for an expanded vision for U.S. manned space exploration. In announcing this, he said, "This time we will not only plant our flag and leave our footprint. We will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars and perhaps someday to many worlds beyond." As the President was making this announcement, a meeting of the China-U.S. Civil Space Dialogue brought together Chinese and U.S. officials in Beijing, to discuss reopening cooperation in space. It is the fear among the imperial proponents of a unipolar world, that this kind of initiative by the Trump administration would move the U.S. out of the deadly, endless conflicts they imposed, through the Bush and Obama administrations, that is behind the now-faltering Mueller investigation, to remove Trump at all costs.
To realize the promise of such cooperation -- which is in line with the New Paradigm of international relations emerging around the Belt-and-Road Initiative launched by President Xi Jinping of China -- it is essential that Americans be mobilized to shut down the British-orchestrated coup against President Trump. At the same time, it is necessary that Lyndon LaRouche's Four Laws become the basis of Trump administration economic policy. These Four Laws uniquely provide the basis for the revival of the American System, which is the prerequisite for the scientific and technological advances necessary to revive an American role in space exploration. By bringing the Spirit of the New Silk Road to a broader audience of active citizens worldwide, such goals are now within our grasp.
These will be among the topics addressed by Zepp LaRouche this Thursday, in her weekly strategic broadcast.

I admit it, I'm very bad in painting miniatures: for this reason normally I play with "raw" miniatures taken from my library of games (like Descent).
An alternative is the use of paper miniatures: you can find tons of such a miniatures on the web (for example in Wargame Vault under the category "Miniatures"); just print them and you're army is ready in minutes (well, you also probaly need to attach them to a thick paper and prepare a solid base). I often use paper miniatures like the ones produced by Darkfast, definitely good in quality and with a great price.
If you prefer the top-down view (this makes *much* easier to prepare the terrain), the only option I've found are the tokens used with applications like roll20, like those available here in Rpg Now:
The limit is that those tokens are normally not intended for printing, but if you find figures with at least a size of 300×300 pixels you can create a top-down miniature of 1″ good enough to be printed and used for play.
For top-down token I can surely suggest to look at Devin's Token Site
they have very good tokens that you can also print. The Free pack (20 sets of miniatures) includes probably 90% of what you need. Recommended (here below a sample)
