Talk about the money. Communication is Job One in the survival of any relationship. If you truly plan to share a life, bare your financial soul to your partner, and insist your buddy tell you everything.
Create a budget. You need to be on the same page about where the money should be going. Then it’s easy to decide what to buy and when. You simply ask, “Where does this fit in the budget?” Work together to make room, cutting a little of her golfing and his beer-with-the-boys to come up with the money.
Don’t put one guy in charge. When one mate is excluded or totally abdicates responsibility things can get messy. Your partner might sail your love-boat onto a reef or grow resentful at always having to do the detail. You should each feel involved in the big financial decisions and understand the day-to-day details.
Face up to your debt. If you can’t be debt free when you hook up, at the very least you should have is a plan for getting there. Never sign for each other’s debt. If your buddy needs help pay off the debt, do it without putting your name on the paperwork.
Talk about your dreams and your goals. Whether you want to own your own home, start a family or go into business for yourself, you need to break your goal down into manageable steps.
Build in some fun-money. Consider allotting each partner weekly or monthly fun-money that can be used for anything that body desires.
Plan for emergencies. Without a stash of cash at the ready to deal with whatever life throws at you, you won’t have the means to cope. Have enough cash available to cover six months’ worth of essential living expenses.
Maintain your financial independence. That idea of independence makes some people want to duck and hide behind words like love, trust, honour and team. But independence doesn’t negate any of those things. It enhances them because each and every day you’re choosing to be together. Keep your own financial ID by having your own credit history and savings.
Talk to your HR department. Reassess what’s available to you now that you’re a family. Update your beneficiary designations for your insurance policies and retirement accounts.
. Marriage indicates “stability” and can have a positive effect on your auto insurance rates. Combine all your insurance with one carrier and you’ll pay less.
Make or update your Wills & PoAs. If you don’t have a Will, its time to make one. Ditto Powers of Attorney for both financial and personal care. Your spouse doesn’t have the right to speak for you unless you give him/her that right.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Marriage is tough enough. Don’t spend your relationship getting your britches in a knot over every little thing. If the small stuff adds up to big problems it’s usually because you don’t have a budget and aren’t on the same page when it comes to your priorities.

It looks like Emily and Josh are about to beat the game the old fashioned way. While they solidify their place on the scoreboard, they talk about artificial intelligence (again), cheesing with Guile, and Josh declares himself the poor man's champion. Towards the end of the episode Josh and Emily reveal the secret to making things mean more to you (hint: it hurts). Did I mention the tunes are good? I probably didn't have to. After all, this is the VGM Jukebox we're talking about.
P.S. here's the link regarding to the flier at the end of this episode.
As mentioned at the end of the episode, come check out our shiny new VGM Karaoke Lounge!
As someone who moved to the UK from California (7 years ago!), a good tip I disccovered for getting rid of stuff is (if possible) take a picture of it. I was very surprised how just seeing a picture of something I once owned made me feel like it was still with me.
First off, Josh, glad to help you with your Golf Track continuing education certs. Keep ‘em coming!
Y’all’s conversation about getting rid of stuff struck a chord with me, and it’s a wistful one. I have gotten rid of incredibly meaningful things, but due to my randomly selective memory, forgotten later. The tantalizing torture of trying to find something lost is only made worse when I realize that I decided at some point that I didn’t need the totem I’m searching for.
The most painful things I’ve ever chosen to get rid of are the letters of correspondence I had with a girl I’ve mentioned here before. We developed a deep friendship and esteem for each other, but I was heading into a time of personal darkness, and I knew I couldn’t drag her down with me.
I kept the letters to remind me of the deep sense of loss I carried, and to look back on what might have been. Years later, when I married my wife, I got rid of the letters. If I was to be faithfully dedicated to the woman I intended to spend my life with, it seemed counterproductive to hold onto memories of someone long gone. And, when I was being completely honest, I knew those letters represented a secret hope of resurrecting something long dead.
As it turns out, letting go of those letters didn’t diminish the memories or longing. In fact, and this ties into that wise statement Em mentioned, the sense of loss only intensified. Even more than before, I am keenly aware of what no longer exists.
It's painful for me to remember selling my copy of Final Fantasy X. Somehow I convinced myself that I wouldn't have any further need for it since I hadn't played it in a while, and I should use the money to pay down my credit card. I sold a lot of other games with it for the same reason, including A Link to the Past.
Now that my youngest children are old enough to play games like Chrono Trigger independently (!!) I wish I'd hung on to FFX. Fortunately, we'll have the SNES Classic as a replacement for the other games I sold.

My parents taught me from a young age to move. Running, jumping, squatting, pushing, pulling, throwing, catching. I met my first yoga teacher almost 40 years ago in a cafe at a health food store. He was working in the kitchen making amazing food. I later found out he was a yoga teacher; his name was Doug Swenson. I studied informally with Doug for many years, and then received my 500 hour teacher training certification from him.
Since then, I have been able to study with many amazing teachers. All of them have made a lasting impression on the way I teach and live my life today. My main teachers besides Doug are Geshe Michael Roach and Lama Christie McNally, Lama Sumati Marut, David Fishman, Brandy Davis, and Mira Shani, to name a few.
It was through these teachers that I finally found what I was looking for in my yoga practice. I had reached a tipping point in my practice that opened my heart and mind to dedicate all I could to study with these teachers. I had finally found home!
For the next 10 years I dedicated all my studies to what these teachers had to offer. As a result, my teaching and practice combine elements of Tibetan Heart Yoga, Tibetan Buddhism, Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Bhagavad Gita, Ashtavakra Gita, Upanishads.
I currently teach at Tahoe Yoga Shala (formerly Mountain Yoga) in South Lake Tahoe, California, and I blend a unique style of Tibetan Heart Yoga, Hatha, Anusara and Ashtanga into my teachings. Weaving in philosophy throughout a fun and energetic class, I aim to help students connect the philosophic wisdom with their asana practice. Bringing wisdom and movement together, to show how they are beautifully connected–not separate components.
My background includes a Masters Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine which includes, acupuncture, herbology, nutrition, exercise therapy (Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong), and remedial therapy (massage, Tui Na). I have additionally completed Tibetan Buddhism courses and am continuing advanced courses at Diamond Mountain University.
I have worked to cultivate the unique ability to bring ancient teachings into a modern setting, to touch the human heart. I work to inspire students to practice with awareness and intention on the mat, and to use the teachings off the mat in everyday life situations. My goal when teaching is to converge compassion and wisdom, art and yoga.

The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile that is primarily used by the United States Navy and Royal Navy in ship and submarine-based land-attack operations. Introduced by General Dynamics in the 1970s, it was initially designed as a medium- to long-range, low-altitude missile that could be launched from a surface platform. Since then, it has been upgraded several times with guidance systems for precision navigation. In 1992–1994, McDonnell Douglas Corporation was the sole supplier of Tomahawk Missiles and produced Block II and Block III Tomahawk missiles and remanufactured many Tomahawks to Block III specifications. In 1994, Hughes outbid McDonnell Douglas Aerospace to become the sole supplier of Tomahawk missiles. It is now manufactured by Raytheon. In 2016, the U.S. Department of Defense purchased 149 Tomahawk Block IV missiles for $202.3 million.
The Tomahawk missile family consists of a number of subsonic, jet engine-powered missiles designed to attack a variety of surface targets. Although several launch platforms have been deployed or envisaged, only sea (both surface ship and submarine) launched variants are currently in service. Tomahawk has a modular design, allowing a wide variety of warhead, guidance, and range capabilities. The Tomahawk project was originally awarded to Applied Physics Laboratory near Laurel, Maryland by the US Navy. James H. Walker led a team of scientists to design and build this new long range missile. The original design, updated with advanced technology, is still used today.
BGM-109D Tomahawk Land Attack Missile - Dispenser (TLAM-D) with cluster munitions.
RGM/UGM-109E Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM Block IV) improved version of the TLAM-C.
Ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCM) and their truck-like launch vehicles were employed at bases in Europe; they were withdrawn from service to comply with the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Many of the anti-ship versions were converted into TLAMs at the end of the Cold War. The Block III TLAMs that entered service in 1993 can fly farther and use Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to strike more precisely. Block III TLAM-Cs retain the DSMAC II navigation system, allowing GPS only missions, which allow for rapid mission planning, with some reduced accuracy, DSMAC only missions, which take longer to plan but terminal accuracy is somewhat better, and GPS aided missions which combine both DSMAC II and GPS navigation which provides the greatest accuracy. Block IV TLAMs are completely redesigned with an improved turbofan engine. The F107-402 engine provided the new Blk III with a throttle control, allowing in-flight speed changes. This engine also provided better fuel economy. The Block IV TLAMs have enhanced deep-strike capabilities and are equipped with a real-time targeting system for striking fleeing targets. Additionally, the Block IV missiles have the capabilities to be retargeted inflight, and the ability to transmit, via satcom, an image immediately prior to impact to assist in determining if the missile was attacking the target and the likely damage from the attack.
A major improvement to the Tomahawk is network-centric warfare-capabilities, using data from multiple sensors (aircraft, UAVs, satellites, foot soldiers, tanks, ships) to find its target. It will also be able to send data from its sensors to these platforms. It will be a part of the networked force being implemented by the Pentagon.
Tomahawk Block II variants were all tested during January 1981 to October 1983. Deployed in 1984, some of the improvements included: an improved booster rocket, cruise missile radar altimeter, and navigation through the Digital Scene Matching Area Corellator (DSMAC).
Tomahawk Block III introduced in 1993 added time-of-arrival control and improved accuracy for Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC) and jam-resistant GPS, smaller, lighter WDU-36 warhead, engine improvements and extended missile's range.
Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS) takes advantage of a loitering feature in the missile's flight path and allows commanders to redirect the missile to an alternative target, if required. It can be reprogrammed in-flight to attack predesignated targets with GPS coordinates stored in its memory or to any other GPS coordinates. Also, the missile can send data about its status back to the commander. It entered service with the US Navy in late 2004. The Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS) added the capability for limited mission planning on board the firing unit (FRU).
Tomahawk Block IV introduced in 2006 adds the strike controller which can change the missile in flight to one of 15 preprogrammed alternate targets or redirect it to a new target. This targeting flexibility includes the capability to loiter over the battlefield awaiting a more critical target. The missile can also transmit battle damage indication imagery and missile health and status messages via the two-way satellite data link. Firing platforms now have the capability to plan and execute GPS-only missions. Block IV also has an improved anti-jam GPS receiver for enhanced mission performance. Block IV includes Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS), and Tomahawk Command and Control System (TC2S).
On 16 August 2010, the Navy completed the first live test of the Joint Multi-Effects Warhead System (JMEWS), a new warhead designed to give the Tomahawk the same blast-fragmentation capabilities while introducing enhanced penetration capabilities in a single warhead. In the static test, the warhead detonated and created a hole large enough for the follow-through element to completely penetrate the concrete target. In February 2014, U.S. Central Command sponsored development and testing of the JMEWS, analyzing the ability of the programmable warhead to integrate onto the Block IV Tomahawk, giving the missile bunker buster effects to better penetrate hardened structures.
In 2012, the USN studied applying Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) anti-radiation missile technology into the Tactical Tomahawk.
In 2014, Raytheon began testing Block IV improvements to attack sea and moving land targets. The new passive radar seeker will pick up the electromagnetic radar signature of a target and follow it, and actively send out a signal to bounce off potential targets before impact to discriminate its legitimacy before impact. Mounting the multi-mode sensor on the missile's nose would remove fuel space, but company officials believe the Navy would be willing to give up space for the sensor's new technologies. The previous Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile, retired over a decade earlier, was equipped with inertial guidance and the seeker of the Harpoon missile and there was concern with its ability to clearly discriminate between targets from a long distance, since at the time Navy sensors did not have as much range as the missile itself, which would be more reliable with the new seeker's passive detection and millimeter-wave active radar homing. Raytheon estimates adding the new seeker would cost $250,000 per missile. Other upgrades include a sea-skimming flight path. The first Block IV TLAMs modified with a maritime attack capability will enter service in 2021.
A supersonic version of the Tomahawk is under consideration for development with a ramjet to increase its speed to Mach 3. A limiting factor to this is the dimensions of shipboard launch tubes. Instead of modifying every ship able to carry cruise missiles, the ramjet-powered Tomahawk would still have to fit within a 21-inch diameter and 20-foot long tube.
In October 2015, Raytheon announced the Tomahawk had demonstrated new capabilities in a test launch, using its onboard camera to take a reconnaissance photo and transmit it to fleet headquarters. It then entered a loitering pattern until given new targeting coordinates to strike.
By January 2016, Los Alamos National Laboratory was working on a project to turn unburned fuel left over when a Tomahawk reaches its target into an additional explosive force. To do this, the missile's JP-10 fuel is turned into a fuel air explosive to combine with oxygen in the air and burn rapidly. The thermobaric explosion of the burning fuel acts, in effect, as an additional warhead and can even be more powerful than the main warhead itself when there is sufficient fuel left in the case of a short range target.
Each missile is stored and launched from a pressurized canister that protects it during transportation and storage, and also serves as a launch tube. These canisters were racked in Armored Box Launchers (ABL), which were installed on the four reactivated Iowa-class battleships USS Iowa, USS New Jersey, USS Missouri, and USS Wisconsin. The ABLs were also installed on eight Spruance-class destroyers, the four Virginia-class cruisers, and the cruiser USS Long Beach. These canisters are also in vertical launching systems (VLS) in other surface ships, capsule launch systems (CLS) in the later Los Angeles-class and Virginia-class submarines, and in submarines' torpedo tubes. All ABL equipped ships have been decommissioned.
For submarine-launched missiles (called UGM-109s), after being ejected by gas pressure (vertically via the VLS) or by water impulse (horizontally via the torpedo tube), a solid-fuel booster is ignited to propel the missile and guide it out of the water.
After achieving flight, the missile's wings are unfolded for lift, the airscoop is exposed and the turbofan engine is employed for cruise flight. Over water, the Tomahawk uses inertial guidance or GPS to follow a preset course; once over land, the missile's guidance system is aided by terrain contour matching (TERCOM). Terminal guidance is provided by the Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation (DSMAC) system or GPS, producing a claimed circular error probable of about 10 meters.
The Tomahawk Weapon System consists of the missile, Theater Mission Planning Center (TMPC)/Afloat Planning System, and either the Tomahawk Weapon Control System (on surface ships) or Combat Control System (for submarines).
v2 TWCS - Tomahawk Weapon Control System (1983), also known as "green screens," was based on an old tank computing system.
v3 ATWCS - Advanced Tomahawk Weapon Control System (1994), first Commercial Off the Shelf, uses HP-UX.
The TLAM-D contains 166 sub-munitions in 24 canisters: 22 canisters of seven each, and two canisters of six each to conform to the dimensions of the airframe. The sub-munitions are the same type of Combined Effects Munition bomblet used in large quantities by the U.S. Air Force with the CBU-87 Combined Effects Munition. The sub-munitions canisters are dispensed two at a time, one per side. The missile can perform up to five separate target segments which enables it to attack multiple targets. However, in order to achieve a sufficient density of coverage typically all 24 canisters are dispensed sequentially from back to front.
TERCOM - Terrain Contour Matching. A digital representation of an area of terrain is mapped based on digital terrain elevation data or stereo imagery. This map is then inserted into a TLAM mission which is then loaded onto the missile. When the missile is in flight it compares the stored map data with radar altimeter data collected as the missile overflies the map. Based on comparison results the missile's inertial navigation system is updated and the missile corrects its course. TERCOM was based on, and was a significant improvement on, "Fingerprint," a technology developed in 1964 for the SLAM.
DSMAC - Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation. A digitized image of an area is mapped and then inserted into a TLAM mission. During the flight the missile will verify that the images that it has stored correlates with the image it sees below itself. Based on comparison results the missile's inertial navigation system is updated and the missile corrects its course.

In the 1991 Gulf War, 288 Tomahawks were launched, 12 from submarines and 276 from surface ships. The first salvo was fired by the Destroyer USS Paul F. Foster on January 17, 1991. The attack submarines USS Pittsburgh and USS Louisville followed.
On 17 January 1993, 46 Tomahawks were fired at the Zafraniyah Nuclear Fabrication Facility outside Baghdad, in response to Iraq's refusal to cooperate with UN disarmament inspectors. One missile crashed into the side of the Al Rasheed Hotel, killing two civilians.
On 26 June 1993, 23 Tomahawks were fired at the Iraqi Intelligence Service's command and control center.
On 10 September 1995, USS Normandy launched 13 Tomahawk missiles from the central Adriatic Sea against a key air defense radio relay tower in Bosnian Serb territory during Operation Deliberate Force.
On 3 September 1996, 44 cruise missiles between UGM-109 and B-52 launched AGM-86s, were fired at air defence targets in Southern Iraq.
On 20 August 1998, 79 Tomahawk missiles were fired simultaneously at two separate targets in Afghanistan and Sudan in retaliation for the bombings of American embassies by Al-Qaeda.
On 16 December 1998, 325 Tomahawk missiles were fired at key Iraqi targets during Operation Desert Fox.
In early 1999, 218 Tomahawk missiles were fired by US ships and a British submarine during Operation Allied Force against key targets in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
In October 2001, approximately 50 Tomahawk missiles struck targets in Afghanistan in the opening hours of Operation Enduring Freedom.
During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, more than 802 Tomahawk missiles were fired at key Iraqi targets.
On 3 March 2008, two Tomahawk missiles were fired at a target in Somalia by a US vessel during the Dobley airstrike, reportedly in an attempt to kill Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, an al Qaeda militant.
On 17 December 2009, two Tomahawk missiles were fired at targets in Yemen. One of the targets was hit by a TLAM-D missile. The target was described as an 'alleged Al-Qaeda training camp' in al-Ma’jalah in al-Mahfad a region of the Abyan governorate of Yemen. Amnesty International reported that 55 people were killed in the attack, including 41 civilians (21 children, 14 women, and six men). The US and Yemen governments refused to confirm or deny involvement, but diplomatic cables released as part of United States diplomatic cables leak later confirmed the missile was fired by a US Navy ship.
On 19 March 2011, 124 Tomahawk missiles were fired by U.S. and British forces (112 US, 12 British) against at least 20 Libyan targets around Tripoli and Misrata. As of 22 March 2011, 159 UGM-109 were fired by US and UK ships against Libyan targets.
On 23 September 2014, 47 Tomahawk missiles were fired by the United States from USS Arleigh Burke and USS Philippine Sea, which were operating from international waters in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, against ISIL targets in Syria in the vicinity of Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, Al-Hasakah and Abu Kamal, and against Khorasan group targets in Syria west of Aleppo.
On 13 October 2016 five Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched by USS Nitze at three radar sites in Yemen held by Houthi rebels in response to anti-ship missiles fired at US Navy ships the day before.
On 6 April 2017, 59 Tomahawk missiles were launched from USS Ross (DDG-71) and USS Porter (DDG-78), targeting Shayrat Airbase near Homs, in Syria. The strike was in response to a chemical weapons attack, an act allegedly carried out by Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. U.S. Central Command stated in a press release that Tomahawk missiles hit "aircraft, hardened aircraft shelters, petroleum and logistical storage, ammunition supply bunkers, defense systems, and radars". Initial U.S. reports claimed "approximately 20 planes" were destroyed, and that 58 out of the 59 cruise missiles launched "severely degraded or destroyed" their intended target. A later report by US Secretary of Defense James Mattis claimed that the strike destroyed about 20% of the Syrian government's operational aircraft. Syrian state-run media claimed that nine civilians, including four children living in nearby villages were killed and another seven wounded as a result of the strike after missiles fell on their homes, but The Pentagon said civilians were not targeted. According to the satellite images the runways and the taxiways have been undamaged and combat flights from the attacked airbase resumed on 7 April a few hours after the attack, although U.S. officials did not state that the runway was a target.
An independent bomb damage assessment conducted by ImageSat International counted hits on 44 targets, with some targets being hit by more than one missile; these figures were determined using satellite images of the airbase 10 hours after the strike. However, the Russian defense ministry contends that the combat effectiveness of the attack was extremely low; only 23 missiles hit the base destroying six aircraft, and it did not know where the other 36 landed. Russian television news, citing a Syrian source at the airfield, said that nine planes were destroyed by the strikes (5 Su-22M3s, 1 Su-22M4, and 3 Mig-23ML) and that all planes were thought to have been out of action at the time. Al-Masdar News reported that 15 fighter jets were damaged or destroyed and that the destruction of fuel tankers caused several explosions and a large fire. However, Lost Armour's online photographic database, for vehicle losses in the War in Syria, has images of 10 destroyed aircraft at Shayrat airbase. Some observers conclude that the Russian government - and therefore also the Syrian government - was warned and Syria had enough time to move most of the planes to another base. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike damaged over a dozen hangars, a fuel depot, and an air defense base.
On April 14 2018, the US launched 66 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Syrian targets near Damascus and Homs, as part of the 2018 bombing of Damascus and Homs. These strikes were done in retaliation for alleged Douma chemical attack. The United States Department of Defense said Syria fired 40 defensive missiles at the allied weapons but did not hit any targets. The Russian military said that Syrian air defenses shot down 71 of the 103 missiles launched by the US and its allies.
In 1995 the US agreed to sell 65 Tomahawks to the UK for torpedo-launch from their nuclear attack submarines. The first missiles were acquired and test-fired in November 1998; all Royal Navy fleet submarines are now Tomahawk capable, including the Astute-class. The Kosovo War in 1999 saw the Swiftsure-class HMS Splendid become the first British submarine to fire the Tomahawk in combat. The UK subsequently bought 20 more Block III to replenish stocks. The Royal Navy has since fired Tomahawks during the 2000s Afghanistan War, in Operation Telic as the British contribution to the 2003 Iraq War, and during Operation Ellamy in Libya in 2011.
In April 2004, the UK and US governments reached an agreement for the British to buy 64 of the new generation of Tomahawk missile - the Block IV or TacTom missile. It entered service with the Royal Navy on 27 March 2008, three months ahead of schedule. In July 2014 the US approved the sale to the UK of a further 65 submarine-launched Block IV's at a cost of US$140m including spares and support; as of 2011 the Block III missiles were on British books at £1.1m and the Block IV at £0.87m including VAT.
The Sylver Vertical Launching System on the new Type 45 destroyer is claimed by its manufacturers to have the capability to fire the Tomahawk, although the A50 launcher carried by the Type 45 is too short for the weapon (the longer A70 silo would be required). Nevertheless, the Type 45 has been designed with weight and space margin for a strike-length Mk41 or Sylver A70 silo to be retrofitted, allowing Type 45 to use the TLAM Block IV if required. The new Type 26 frigates will have strike-length Mk41 VLS tubes. SYLVER user France is developing MdCN, a version of the Storm Shadow/Scalp cruise missile that has a shorter range but a higher speed than Tomahawk and can be launched from the SYLVER system.

Some analysts have touted golf carts and their cousins to disrupt the auto market a few years ago. And their case is easy to broker: light, eco-friendly, and cost-effective that golfers and enthusiasts can appreciate.
Indeed, for as long as you, or all golf-cart drivers, take care of your vehicle, you will reduce the likelihood of your golf cart running into problems and prolong its usefulness, especially the battery life. Here are some tips for maintaining your golf cart in tip-top condition effortlessly.
Golf carts are generally easy to figure out and understand. When it comes to caring for them, they can be like cars. Think about how your golf cart can benefit from preventive maintenance to save you from future headaches and costs.
For starters, there are two types of golf carts currently in the market.
The gas-powered golf cart utilizes a gas engine recommended for driving more than two hours nonstop.
The electric golf cart works with heavy-duty batteries and charger, ideal for roaming short distances noiselessly.
So which type do you own, and how do you care for it?
The battery is the centerpiece of your electric vehicle, making it probably its most-used component. The best golf cart batteries can last for years and, depending on usage and handling, can run for longer.
Your primary objective is to extend the battery’s lifespan to minimize costs on any repair or replacement. Do the cursory check and take the necessary steps.
1. Make sure the battery voltage and golf cart voltage match. Golf carts can house four to eight batteries and run on 36 or 48 volts. A 38-voltage golf cart, for instance, will have six battery cells with 6 volts each. Accordingly, use the appropriate charger for your golf cart to avoid damaging the cells.
2. Check the batteries, including terminals. Corrosion, dust, dirt, ordebris buildup is a cause for a cleanup. Mix water and baking soda, and with a spray or wire brush, get to the sides, top, and other surfaces of your battery cell. Ensure the mixture does not seep into the cell. Rinse and let dry. For cables, you may have to replace worn or damaged ones.
3. Check the water level of each battery cell. Refill with distilled water to restore the electrolyte level. Do this watering only after charging to determine the water level, which should cover the plates. You may do the refilling weekly or as stated in the manual, particularly during warm months when the water evaporates faster.
4. Ensure your batteries’ position. Check that they are secure in their places so they won’t move when the golf cart is in motion.
PRO TIP: Wear protective gear for your eyes and hands when handling or servicing golf cart batteries. Avoid wearing jewelry or anything made of metal.
5. Check for fuel leakage. Cracks, leaks, holes, etc. can cause this issue. So look into the fuel pump, gas tank, distributor cap, fuel lines, and carburetor of the golf cart.
6. Monitor engine oil level. The oil lubricates, cools, seals, and protects the engine’s moving parts, among other functions. Check that the engine oil is adequate and light in color as residues and contaminants can darken it. You or a mechanic can change the oil once a year, together with the dirty air filter and worn spark plugs.
7. Check the battery. Unlike the battery cells in electric golf carts, the battery for gas-powered ones does not require high or frequent monitoring. It will need cleaning, charging, and water refilling, although not as often as the battery cells for the electric vehicle. As noted earlier, adequately protect yourself when handling the battery.
8. Check the tires. Clean the golf cart tires and make sure they contain the right amount of air pressure for a smooth ride—consult the user manual for the ideal tire pressure. Take note that overinflated tires can wear the middle treads and potentially cause road mishaps. In cases of underinflated tires, it is the outer treads that will wear the most.
9. Monitor the brakes. Your golf cart might be in for a check if the brake pads squeal or its brake shoes worn. The brakes are critical to your safety, so check the golf cart’s model and year for proper maintenance. Have a mechanic service and verify the brakes’ integrity.
10. Inspect the lights. With golf carts used anywhere outside of golf courses, headlights and taillights provide safety and boost design too. Replace burnout or dimmed lights with LED lights that last longer.
If you haven’t done so, read your manual, refer to online sources, and talk with mechanics regarding the proper TLC and service for your golf cart. A daily check will go a long way to maintain your golf cart.

In New York, Unlawful Possession of Marijuana (PL 221.05) is an offense prosecuted by most district attorney’s offices. This charge can result in a jail sentence, monetary fines, community service, and other adverse consequences. More commonly referred to as UPM, this charge can also be upgraded depending on the amount of marijuana found a person to Criminal Possession of Marijuana in the 5th Degree (PL 221.10). Given the right circumstances, a marijuana charge can be upgraded an even more serious felony charge.
UPM is chargeable for any individual possessing less than 25 grams or about 7/8 of an ounce of marijuana. Meanwhile, the more serious charge of Criminal Possession of Marijuana chargeable under Penal law 221.10 is an available charge to law enforcement when an individual is found with over 25 grams of marijuana but less than 2 ounces or when the possession of burning marijuana blunt in public view.
In our experience, a large number of college students have been appeared in court on theses charges not knowing that a conviction to a marijuana charge can result in the denial of certain student loans. Federal legislation has been enacted to block a student’s eligibility for Federal aid.
20 U.S.C. Section 1091 is the controlling statute suspending a student’s eligibility for any federal grant, federal loan, or federal work study financial assistance for students convicted of any offense under State or Federal law involving the possession or the sale of a controlled substance.

Since the original comparison we’ve received multiple driver and game updates as well as quite a few new games which we’ve added to the benchmark list. Of the 27 games we'll be testing, just half a dozen of them were featured in last year's battle.
Last time the Radeon RX 570 was a mere 2% slower on average, so a very even fight. Currently the RX 570 costs ~$10 more than the 3GB version of the GTX 1060 -- even though its reference cost is $170, while the GTX 1060 should be about $200. Today though the 1060 starts at $230 while the 570 starts at $240, so like all graphics cards they were better priced a year ago.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is another title that really favours the red team, here the RX 570 beat the GTX 1060 by a 36% margin out of the box though Nvidia was able to reduce that to a 27% margin in favour of the RX 570 once both GPUs were overclocked.
Having said all that, I personally gravitate towards the GTX 1060 3GB for a few reasons. Although I’m not happy about the 3GB naming -- it’s not merely a GTX 1060 6GB with half the memory, it’s missing an SM unit taking the CUDA core count from 1280 down to 1152 -- so in spite of having the same name, it actually features 10% fewer cores. But that doesn’t change the fact that the 3GB 1060 is actually still a really good value product.
Right now the GeForce is also slightly cheaper than the RX 570 while offering slightly better performance. So if I had a little over $200 to spend on a graphics card, that’s what I’d be getting right now.

They fight for our nation’s freedom, strengthening the pride of Americans, while providing support for local troops and their communities, and they do it all through the power of music. They are the 323d Army Band “Fort Sam’s Own,” and Arts gives you an in-depth look as to what makes this band so unique.
Unlike a traditional musical band, the 323d Army Band displays extraordinary talents both on and off the battlefield. Considered their full-time job, musicians in the 323d Army Band spend their days training, rehearsing, traveling and coordinating performances for troops and communities all across the world.
Stepping outside the realms of most musical tours, they find themselves in regions other musicians dare not go. Risking their lives at the expense of pride, the 323d Army Band lifts morale where it is needed the most. Music serves as an inter-woven fabric bringing people together, even in the midst of chaos. It is during times of hardship when music can lift human emotion, which is why for Commander CW4 Jonathon Ward, leading the 323d Army Band is a privilege like no other.
“Music has a power that nothing else has. We play a concert and politics go away. It’s all about the music,” said Ward.
The 323d Army Band understands that for troops serving across seas, families and veterans, a sense of comfort can be found through a musical connection, which is why during the holiday season they coordinate special events.
As they rehearse for their upcoming Christmas performance in New Braunfels on December 17, they stop to thank their fellow soldiers for serving with professionalism even through the darkest of times, honoring all fallen soldiers. Music speaks for itself, when no words can sum up emotion.
Watch this episode of Arts airing Thursday, Dec. 15 at 8 p.m. on KLRN.

shaderMeister allows 3D artists to override surfaces in LightWave3D on a global level for an accelerated workflow, reduced steps and new time-saving techniques for working with ambient occlusion (AO) as well as custom passes.
This is accomplished by a shader plugin that needs to be applied to all surfaces that should be overridden by shaderMeister.
When rendering the shader plugin will detect if a shaderMeister global shading network is present and then evaluate it.
The shaderMeister global shading network itself is saved with the scene. A master handler plugin manages it.
V1.1 adds variables extracted from item comments, light groups and various fixes.
shaderMeister is not compatible with LightWave 3D 2018 or higher and has been retired.

Our current strategic plan for research – Research Shaping the Future – is aimed at strengthening our academic reputation, improving our research environment, ensuring there is intellectual breadth and rigour across all our curriculum areas and also creating a focus on a number of key themes.
OU research is rethinking the changing relationships between citizens and authorities in the 21st century. Its scope ranges from global issues like migration, to the increasing scrutiny of private lives.
International Development research at the OU is pioneering a different approach which we call ‘inclusive innovation’. We are working with poor and marginalised people developing their own solutions.
The OU is one of the top three university space science centres in the UK. OU scientists play key roles in iconic missions, such as Rosetta, the first comet landing.
The Open University is the European leader for massive innovations in learning technologies which have worldwide influence and deliver digital education at scale.
Within the context of an ageing demographic, the OU focuses on evidence-based interventions to reduce the disease burden, prevent ill-health and promote wellbeing.
Our projects are managed and implemented across our four faculties and two research institutes.

text: I am forever over-dressed. My motto is that it is better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. Case in point- yesterday, I went to a sport’s bar wearing some version of this. In my defense, I don’t typically frequent such establishments. I was clearly out of place amongst the team jerseys and t-shirts. Frankly though, I didn’t really care. I knew (more or less) how people dressed at athletic events. But, as it most often does, my love of dolling-up far outweighed any need to fit in. Which is one of the reasons I leapt on this incredible Vivian Chan dress a couple of months ago. “But, where will I wear it?” never entered my thoughts. Most likely because my mind was screaming, “Where WON’T I wear it?!” I didn’t deem this look sport’s bar appropriate (don’t think that won’t stop me though), but I can’t wait to wear it everywhere else. Check out what a great dog walking outfit it made here for an evening stroll along the Venice Canals. If this is what I wear to walk the dog, just imagine what I put on when I’m actually supposed to dress-up!

Just because the hydrangea blooms are starting to fade and the leaves are starting to fall, doesn’t mean your landscape has to be in hibernation until next Spring! Seasonal color is a great way to add interest and pops of color throughout the Winter.
For commercial properties, seasonal color beds at high visibility areas like entrances, common areas, and monument signage can really distinguish your property from others. Seasonal Color also keeps the landscape vibrant for year-round attraction.
For residential properties, seasonal color beds can be custom sized for the individual homeowner’s desires. From large beds to small, and even containers strategically placed by front doors or outdoor patios, fresh flowers will make your home an inviting welcome to the neighborhood.
Call GREEN today to get your custom design and estimate for seasonal color installation.

Just like many things in life, fruits and vegetables can come in a variety of sizes and shapes. So why is it that the only fruit and vegetables you see at the store look picture-perfect? This was the question that stuck with Jordan Figueiredo, the founder of the Ugly Fruit and Vegetable Campaign.
This campaign, started in December 2014, is aimed at creating awareness for the 20 to 40 percent of all produce that is disregarded, mainly because of cosmetic reasons, before it reaches the grocery store.
‘Twisted Love Carrots’ and ‘Kissing Tomato Birdies’ are just a few of Figueiredo’s favorite “ugly” produce that he has purchased. These character-filled images, along with many more, have sparked an immense following on social media with almost 200,000 followers.
These photos of peculiar produce all come together through the hashtag #LoveTheUgly, which continues to grow.
“Ugly produce really isn’t ugly but delicious, fresh high-quality produce that has lots of love and character to give,” expresses Figueiredo.
With the increased momentum of the campaign, retailers have started to embrace the ugly. Whole Foods, Walmart and others have started to slowly integrate misshapen fruits and vegetables into their stores. At endfoodwaste.org, you can find directories of retailers who are giving ugly produce a chance.
To Figueiredo, success is the increase of grocers selling “ugly” produce and the thousands of people who are active every day, embracing the ugly.
“Those who are sharing images, spreading this issue to their friends and family, loving the ugly, and changing perception on this very engrained issue of produce discrimination, so to speak,” shares Figueiredo.
To join this movement, or learn more about it, check out the www.endfoodwaste.org/do-something.html. Maybe you can help embrace the ugly, and help to give all fruits and vegetables a chance.

This gene encodes a protein that appears to belong to a family of evolutionarily related proteins (DUF78), that may share one or more domains in common. Members of this family are small archaebacterial proteins with no known function. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and two variants, both encoding the same protein, have been identified.

I noticed my existing subtitle configuration that's worked well with Mezzmo and my STB's isn't working through the browser. My subtitles have all been embedded into MKV's so that my STB's all display them without issue. This isn't working when streaming through the browser with the same videos. I tried to move the .srt files to the same folder as the movie and made sure that both files are named the same but this still doesn't allow the subs to display through the browser. The only configuration I found that works is to manually select the subtitle through each video's subtitle setting. Once that's done, the subs are displayed through the browser without issue.
Is this the only way to get the subs to display through the browser or have I missed a step somewhere?
try running Maintain Library and check the box to 'Update subtitles' and uncheck the boxes for 'Update media properties and metadata' and 'Update artwork' then select to 'Update all attributes' and this should find all the external subtitles and update the properties to have them selected and available for the web playback. Mezzmo can also auto-extract the embedded subtitles if you select this in Options in Mezzmo under Subtitles->Advanced and run Maintain library to update subtitles.
Thanks Peter. I'll make the adjustment and do some more testing with your steps.
Are embedded subtitles in MKV's or other containers not able to be displayed through the browser due to some limitation or conflict with the container/subtitle combination?
HTML5 Video only supports WebVTT subtitles and does not support subtitles embedded in the file so Mezzmo must convert them on the fly to WebVTT.
Support for defunct Flock browser, but not for Pale Moon?

A vital tool for any organisation or group aiming to improve the food intake, physical activity and health of the community.
In order to view the data that directly relates to the accessibility and availability of a healthy food basket in Kempsey, it is not necessary to have all the available map data visible.
The layers useful to leave visible are listed in the table below.
Stores that meet the criteria of the VHFB# having all the food groups available and meeting the nutritional requirements of 4 family types over 2 weeks, providing >80% of the Nutrient Reference Values and ≥95% of energy requirements.
By measuring a radius from each of the Healthy Food Basket stores, a buffer line was drawn. From the edge of the buffer, it is easy to access a healthy food basket store ie. it is within 1km walking distance. Beyond this buffer are areas described as being ‘food deserts’.
This includes services that may provide access to food vouchers, food parcels, meal vouchers, community gardens, community centres, soup kitchens and/or subsidised meal delivery.
Indicates where takeaway foods and meals may be purchased but does not include restaurants (but does include 3 service stations that serve hot foods).
etc. The differently coloured areas define relative socio-economic disadvantage in terms of people’s access to material and social resources, and their ability to participate in society. The SEIFA scores (determined by census collection district) are represented as deciles; 1st decile having the highest level of disadvantage.
