Start your day fresh with a minty cooling sensation, or take a quick shower after a hot sticky sunny day. Snowmelt will clean those greasy skin gently and thoroughly while botanical essential oils of lime, spearmint, rosemary and peppermint clear your mind.

The soap base is entirely made with skin-loving plant-based oils such as extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil, castor oil, and nourishing shea butter and cocoa butter. And we super-fat these soaps so that you get the most luxurious moisturizing shower experience. Our recipe is perfected over years of soap-making and you'll feel the difference on your skin. This soap is suitable for the face and body on all skin types.
All of our soaps are cold processed and handcrafted in small batches to ensure their maximum benefits for your skin.

COMMUNITY CHEF: Squash casserole is ideal dish for church suppers
Margaret Blankenship can certainly be called a native of this area. She has lived in the same house in Cottondale for 46 years.
A retiree from the Alabama Credit Union in 2000, Blankenship spends her time volunteering at the East Tuscaloosa Community Soup Bowl through her church, Old Salem Baptist, and is a member of the Red Hat Society.
She is sharing a recipe for squash casserole that she has been using so long that she doesn't remember where she got it. She's pretty sure it must have been from someone who needed a way to use the squash that is so plentiful this time of year.
It's a good recipe to use when you need a quick dish for a church supper or a family get-together.
Squash Casserole
1 pound squash (6-8 squash)
1 teaspoon sugar
1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
1⁄2 cup chopped onion
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup grated cheese
1 cup chopped ham (optional)
1⁄4 stick butter
Buttered cracker crumbs
Cook squash until tender; drain and mash.
Mix sugar, mayonnaise, onion, egg, cheese, ham, and butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add to mashed squash. Pour into casserole and top with buttered cracker crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Modern multiprocessors are complex systems that often require years to design and verify. A significant factor is that engineers must allocate a disproportionate share of their effort to ensure that rare corner-case events behave correctly. This paper proposes using "speculation for simplicity" to enable designers to focus on common-case scenarios. Our approach is to speculate that rare events will not occur and rely on an efficient recovery mechanism to undo the effects of mis-speculations.
We illustrate the potential of speculation to simplify multiprocessor design with three examples. First, we simplify the design of a directory cache coherence protocol by speculatively relying on point-to-point ordering of messages in an adaptively routed interconnection network. Second, we simplify a snooping cache coherence protocol by treating a rare coherence state transition as a mis-speculation. Third, we simplify interconnection network design by removing the virtual channels and then recovering from deadlocks when they occur.
Experiments with full-system simulation and commercial workloads show that speculation is a viable approach for simplifying system design. Systems can incur as many as ten recoveries per second due to mis-speculations without significantly degrading performance, and our speculatively simplified designs incur far fewer recoveries.

As of 2019, the video game industry has surpassed every other entertainment industry by a large margin, with an estimated annual revenue of US$152.1 billion compared to the global box office revenue of US$41.7 billion. For a quick comparison, the 2013 game, Grand Theft Auto V earned US$1 billion in sales within just three days (that grew to a staggering US$6 billion in lifetime earnings) compared to Avengers: Endgame's week-long run in the box office to hit the same figure (with their lifetime box office earnings capped at 2.7 billion). The versatility of the game industry can also be observed by its rapid growth amidst the 2020 global pandemic. Today, the boom of mobile gaming market shows that the video game industry shows no signs of slowing down.
The game industry's move from a fringe cultural phenomenon to an industry that continually breaks revenue records is one that has garnered a lot of attention. Successful game design has created products that engage players for hundreds of hours, inspired billions in-game transactions, and defined popular culture for over two decades. While games continues to be the summation of visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli, the core mechanics of game design deal with the intrinsic human needs for satisfaction.
In practice, game design is the delicate balance of user input towards challenge and reward, and the successful application of which has resulted in unprecedented rates of engagement in any medium. As games became more mainstream and the resulting revenues grew to proportions that could no longer be ignored, a new sub-industry had emerged: gamification.
What Exactly is Gamification?
Gamification is the application of game design elements – the very elements that have grown the games industry into the multi-billion-dollar business – and applying it to the everyday. The integration of gamification into business, education, and otherwise mundane activities have proven particularly successful in recent years.
Though the application possibilities are nearly endless, for the purposes of this article we can distill the use of gamification towards two different outputs: retention and education. To explain just how gamification works, we need to first identify the defining reasons why gaming is such an enjoyable and addictive experience.
The Science of Fun
Pain and pleasure are base psychological and physiological responses of human biology. Years of evolution has resulted in a human form that survives on the habit-forming reinforcement of external stimuli. The communication of pain often denotes bodily harm, while the transmission of pleasure was meant to reinforce actions that were beneficial to the human body or the human population at large – eating, drinking, procreations, etc.
For the contemporary human, the biological instincts required for species survival have gradually been rendered redundant as our cognitive skills continue to grow. Nevertheless, the core biological context that result in our base responses remain in our biology – quickly associating certain actions through a wide range of emotions and responses that directly tie to pain and pleasure. This kind of carrot and stick approach is deeply engrained into our anatomy via the release of the neurotransmission hormone: dopamine.
Working as a chemical bridge in pleasure sensing neurons, dopamine release can be triggered through physical and mental stimuli. Achieving a dopamine rush through real-life actions often requires physical or mental strain followed by a "rewarding" sensation upon release. This cycle of challenge, input, and reward remains core to our functionality as humans and has been the basis for game design. Whether by design or by accident, the manipulation of dopamine release is due in large part to our brains' incapability to distinguish between the real versus virtual stimulus.
Achieving Fun through Game Designs
In multiplayer video games such as Fortnite, players are given a flashy victory screen and a slew of in-game rewards every time they won a match. Overcoming the challenge of each battle royale game and the culmination in an end-screen that presents visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli presents a loop that thoroughly incentivize players to keep on playing. The degree of avatar customization also helps players to identify and attribute their in-game achievements as truly their own.
Various single-player games also employ the same core game design that rewards the fulfillment of the game's objectives, such as giving players new stages to play after successfully earning three stars in the previous stages of Angry Birds. Increasing your Atma's stats and attributes in Code Atma also yields the same satisfying results, nurturing our desire to experience visible growth after overcoming the obstacles that are presented before us.
To explain just how this kind of game design can be used to foster a higher level of participation and retention, we turn to Leika. In Leika, we apply the concept of a gaming leaderboard in order to enhance the level of audience experience and their performance. By giving users the chance to personalize their avatars, they are given a personal stake to reach the top of said leaderboard. They climb their way to the top by gaining points in various customizable minigames that could take form in anything that the game master wishes, be it for the purpose of learning, advertising, etc. Winning the top spot at the end of the game will show the user defeating their peers, earning them bragging rights and personal sense of immediate achievement.
So, What Makes Games Fun?
Said combination of fun game mechanics, rewarding gameplay, and the degree of personalization keeps gamers motivated to keep playing. This creates a loop that keeps players from putting down the game; through a clear goal that provides immediate feedback that players took voluntarily with minimal risks. Giving users with a clear-cut path towards rewards is a sure-fire way to maintain a high level of retention, while catering their psychological needs of personal satisfaction and sense of achievement.
The core concept of game design could then be applicable to help users achieve a much higher rate of retention and sense of accomplishment; such is the concept used by the foundation of gamification. Transforming mundane tasks into an addictive and interactive experience are achievable through the implementation of game-like values, by tricking brain chemistry into giving immediate feedback for a task that should take ages to be considered satisfying.

La Jolla Unit Budgeting 101by Matthew Kidd
August 4, 2010 (revised August 8, 2010)
In brief, the unit tends to break even every fiscal year. The unit games basically break even and the profits from the Memorial weekend sectional pay for the significantly subsidized holiday party, a long running unit tradition. Historically, the January sectional, when conducted, also breaks even. The last fact explains why the unit sometimes fails to run a January sectional. Personally, I feel a break even tournament is okay as long as players have a generally positive experience. Very few people are in bridge administration for the money! But a counter argument to holding the January sectional is that the the southern California tournament schedule is already very crowded and tournament fatigue may be setting in.
How do your card fees get spent? Since some expenses are fixed (e.g. rent), some scale with the number of tables (e.g. sanction fees), and some depend on other factors (e.g. hospitality or the rank of the director), the actual numbers vary from game to game. Over the last 12 months, we have averaged 19.98 tables / game at unit games (sectionals excluded) as shown in the plot at the bottom of the page. Let's call it 20. The following chart, based on 20 tables and ranked from most to least expensive, gives a fairly accurate breakdown.
|Director fee
|Cleaning service (part of the lease agreement)
|Free plays to board members
|Board duplication (usually done at AIB)
|Paper hand records
Moreover, this chart does not include the cost of restocking club supplies (i.e. pickup slips, cards, bidding boxes / bidding cards, inkjet printer ribbons, etc), and minor expenses associated with high school teaching effort. Furthermore, the board recently voted to approve two insurance policies, totaling ~$1200 / year, an expense of ~$0.65 / player-session. And it appears that the cost of printing hand records will soon roughly double.
Sanction fees are not shown because due to a process I've never quite understood, the ACBL periodically kicks a little money back to each unit and that more or less cancels out the sanction fee.
The unit maintains two accounts. The first is a working account with a few thousand dollars for regular expenses. The second contains around $25,000, which I understand was donated to the unit many years ago. There is no unit policy on what to do with the donated money. The cash reserve would certainly be helpful if we ever had to relocate the game. Personally I think spending a little of it on educational purposes would be good for the game. Since the ACBL picks up a lot of educational expenses already, the unit expenditures need not be large.

The cost of these bedding varies, relying on the quality of material used. While selecting a bedding item remember to select a product that fits you in addition to the decor of your room. If you are susceptible to allergies ensure to pick a product that is non sensitive. A lot of bedding accessories are equipment washable or can be dry cleaned. Queen size bedding can be purchased at modest costs when unique offers are offered by makers. You can also pick ideal queen size bedding from any of the online stores.
Fabric, blankets, yarn and sheets can all be purchased used if you don't have them, although fabric shops often sell fabric at huge price cuts. If you purchase used fabric, wash it and add a little bleach, and it must be fine.
Bamboo sheets have a high quantity of natural antibacterial qualities in addition to anti fungal properties. This is somewhat amazing. Bamboo fiber is normally mold and mildew resistant and that quality is carried over when the bamboo is produced into luxury sheets! Studies have revealed that linens made from 100 % bamboo yarn kill over 90 % of germs within an hour. One such examination was done by the China Industrial Testing Center. Their scientists attempted to contaminate bamboo sheets with Staphylococcus aurous germs for 24 hours. Their research reveals that after 24 hours of incubation 100 % bamboo sheets have either repelled or gotten rid of 99.8 % of germs. So all you germophobes out there need not to worry, as the antibacterial property of bamboo bedding is unequaled. Even after 50 washes, bamboo sheets still had the ability to kill over 80 % of germs. Quite amazing.
If you 'd such as to be daring, try making your own quilting pattern, making use of the drawing function located in many word processing program. Experiment with colors, images and textured patterns. Let's say you want a flower themed quilt. Collect some pictures of flowers to insert in a diagonal pattern of available squares, then try numerous colors for each square, alternating an increased color with a yellow or green, until you're pleased with the composition. It's then easy enough to discover a textile. Which you then can applique on to the squares.
Investing in linen euro shams individually, you will discover there are an endless quantity of textiles and patterns to select from when embellishing your bed room look. Designs that are more popular are also more pricey and consist of the pin tuck design, the poplin tailored design and the embedded stripe design.

What is work?
Yeah, yeah- exerting force on an object to make it move from a—>b. I mean, what is meaningful work?
Work that pays? Work that creates collegiality? Work that changes the world? Work that delineates your status? Work that proves your competence?
So many freaking question marks. I expected it would be all of the above. Plus original, creative, and fun. But only as a bonus.
To really count of course you need a field. So that you can be at the top of it. And ideally a professional license of some sort. That, it turns out is my mother's (and possibly many people's) definition of a career. Probably the most jarring conversation of my 30's happened with her, back before software, but after The Waiting Room when she said, in a matter of fact tone: "you will never have a career." It wasn't a problem for her. Just a fact. For me it felt like damnation.
Without a career I was either a failure or a dilettante. Or at least a hack.
So there it is. No career. Lots of stuff started, even a lot of it finished, but no fame or fortune and a big fat what's next.
What is this? In short I am shopping for a living. Ebay, yard sales, auctions, antique stores. I am finding an object that inspires me, then building something around it. I'll be selling the collections as wholes. Mexican fiesta, yellow and blue makes green breakfast setting, pheasant dinner. Plus cowboys, poker night and scottie dogs. And so many mad men bar set ups I have lost the spirit for spirits.
I always thought work needed to be serious. Not frivolous. Buying things for a party, not serious. Having coordinated bar ware- not life changing. Setting an Abe lincoln decanter in front of an image of the gun that shot him- potentially disturbed, and most certainly not significant work. But incredibly fun. In fact right as I am typing this Leo said to me: "There is no possible way you are having fun doing woik." That seems like confirmation enough that I can drop 4 or 5 of my high bar standards and have some fun for a while. We all seem to need to look at work a bit differently these days.
Let me know if you need a scottie dog needlepoint. I just may have some.

Miller's Landing donates grand prize
EASTERN MADERA COUNTY – Volunteers with Keep Our Mountains Beautiful (KOMB) will be rolling up their collective sleeves at Roadside Litter Cleanup day on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 8 a.m. until noon.
If you choose to participate as well, every time you fill and return a trash bag, you'll be awarded a ticket for the day's grand-prize drawing.
(In back, Linda Shepler, Sandee Scott, Mike Nolen, MJ Brent and Susan Brent. From left to right on bottom — Sonja Mazaira and her daughter (in her lap) Zoe, Judy Linda Horn and Susie Tomlinson.)
The grand prize is a gift certificate for a six-hour outing on a 13-passenger party boat, donated by Miller's Landing Resort at Bass Lake. Other prizes will be awarded as winning tickets are drawn.
Residents ready to pitch in to tidy up their own towns can pick up empty trash bags from KOMB volunteers at the North Fork Post Office, the Teepee in Coarsegold near Highway 41 and Road 415, and the library parking lot in Oakhurst.
Bags are also available between 8 and 9 a.m. from a KOMB volunteer at the Park 'n Ride on Road 200 and Highway 41, and from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Bass Lake Realty.
Volunteer Sandee Scott says the group has been meeting and organizing two clean-ups a year since 2007. Their mission is to promote responsible stewardship of the land and resources of Eastern Madera County.
"We promote a litter-free environment, we want people to increase recycling and improve waste management, and we want to improve and beautify our environment," Scott says. "It's hard to drive anywhere without seeing trash and litter strewn around."
Groups from schools, churches, sports teams and Scout troops are encouraged to participate.Last year, 26 volunteers put in 62 hours to collect 52 large bags of trash.
"It's a good training for families who want to volunteer and take their kids out for a clean-up, but it's not recommended for younger kids" who might not be safe along a busy road, Scott said.
The group is determined to clean up trash on the roads and get rid of graffiti, too. KOMB is willing to send a speaker to local groups who want more information.

There's been significant buzz coming out of the Microsoft camp concerning the next generation of Xbox. The reality is that we aren't hearing anything concrete. Chris Lewis, a Microsoft insider, had mentioned the Xbox 720 could be released even as the Xbox 360 continues to sell. You may be asking what the reasoning is behind this.
Doomed. Doomed. Doomed.
We're all doomed. Everything is doomed. Doom.
Oh N4G :D you and your Doom
Seriously though
Of any feature, game or announcement nothing would excite me more this April than the promise to permit silver member access to online play. at the least. any I see or hear after that might just be an afterthought
I don't think it will be doomed without F2P. I do think F2P will be a big part during the Nextbox announcement

Within this method, the issues that create stress are identified and necessary changes are created for any relaxed existence. The following approach is emotionally oriented as well as in it, the individual overcomes stress by providing another color towards the experience that caused stress. The problem, which in turn causes stress, is viewed humorously or from the different position. The 3rd strategy is acceptance-oriented approach. This method concentrates on surviving the strain caused because of some issue in the past.

With Netflix apparently having discriminated in its delivery of Internet video to wireless carriers AT&T and Verizon, after those carriers had been accused of doing the video degrading, there was plenty of input from industry players.
The pushback was particularly strong given Netflix's push for net neutrality rules that prevent ISPs from discriminating and requiring them to tell customers how they are managing their networks.
There have long been rumblings, sometimes not so quietly in the case of Comcast, alleging Netflix intentionally congested traffic to wired ISPs in peering disputes. Netflix has denied it.

I have a slight obsession with The Cambridge Satchel Company bags. I wanted one after seeing that inspiring google viral about where the company started and how it grew.
My first bag was the Small Cloud bag in Pembrook Blue. We weren't married then so when it came to putting on my initials, in the Covent Garden store, I had a decision to make. I chose my new ones, which turned out to be the right choice as M then payed for the bag 🙂
The bag fits my cards, keys, phone and a lipstick, I've used it for shopping and also detached the strap and used it as a clutch.
My second bag was the Large Twist lock in putty and navy. I fell in love with it in the Covent garden store and used birthday money to buy it. Luckily, they had a weekend free embossing promo so I could afford to get Mrs Smith with a colourless heart stamped above it.
The bag just fits my iphone, purse, keys, lipstick and a sunglasses case. Great for shopping but not a daily
I woke up early the other week to see a friend promoting the fact that there was a 40% sale on the Cambridge Satchel Website atm plus ANOTHER 20% off at the till… I couldn't not really! They're an investment! I really want a satchel for every day use, big enough for my diary, notebook, brolly, keys phone, purse etc. I chose the popular 13″classic satchel in dusk blue after a hurried facetime to my mum at 8 in the morning asking her advice on colour! Ideally I would have a red but I imagine these are really popular so don't often go into sale. I was undecided on my embossing so have left it for now. I haven't got it embossed but I 'll take it with me when we're next in London and see if they'll emboss. No idea with what though! Maybe my first name?
Prior to posting I've received an email about the new Poppy bag… I'm loving the stachel!

Fond du Lac man a big brother for 25 years
Fond du Lac resident Mike Owens has been a big brother to many struggling children in the Fond du Lac community.
Owens started volunteering at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Fond du Lac in 1990, and since then, has had seven little brothers. The Big Brothers Big Sisters program matches each child with a "big sibling," a caring adult. The adult then mentors the child, assisting the child in their social, emotional and character development.
"As I became older, I wanted to make a difference in a child's life," Owens said. "I was lucky. I had a great male role model in my father and grandfather. I wanted to be that role model for another child. I know what a huge difference it can make."
When community members volunteer for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, they are asked to dedicate a year of their time so their little sibling has some consistency. Consistency is a very important part of the equation for the children, according to Tammy Young, the executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Owens has been a big brother for the past 25 years and his little brothers have remained in touch with him. He was able to spend his 50th birthday with many of them.
"I encourage anyone with a few hours each month to spare to carefully consider joining BBBS," Owens said. "You will be rewarded as much as the children are. Thinking back, I can think of no better present to give or get than being part of BBBS."
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a United Way Agency that matches children in a community or school-based program with big brothers, big sisters, big couples or big families. Children aged six through 13 can enroll in the program through a parent or guardian referral. Volunteers need to be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license for the community based program, or 16 years old for the school based program. To volunteer for the program, call 920-922-8200 or visit www.bbbsfdl.org.

Follow @csteditorialsThe last thing Illinois needs is another task force to study how to pay for public schools.
Been there, done that.
But the Illinois House is at it again. Speaker Michael Madigan has created a task force — that's right, another one — less than a month after a bipartisan commission assembled by Gov. Bruce Rauner came up with "framework" for a new state school funding formula.
Stop stalling. Seriously, people, cut it out. It is insulting to children who live in poverty and go to third-rate schools that barely give them a chance. Our state's current formula has shortchanged the poorest schools for decades, and that is no secret. Nor is the solution. It's just hard.
EDITORIAL Follow @csteditorials
Illinois lawmakers have talked about reinventing the formula to fund public education for at least 20 years. That's all it has been — talk. Laws for new formulas have been proposed and dumped. Task forces have coughed up ideas that have gone nowhere.
In the meantime, kids pay the price. Chicago Public Schools is so broke that some schools are struggling to buy toilet paper.
When CPS froze principals' discretionary spending — money spent on line items ranging from bathroom tissue to hourly aides — majority Hispanic schools lost at twice the rate of schools that serve mostly white students, the Sun-Times Lauren FitzPatrick reported last week. Schools with mostly African-American students also were hit hard.
Those schools also are the poorest. They can't make up shortfalls in discretionary spending by charging student fees and asking parents to hold fundraisers, which are options for schools with students that are better off.
After prominent Hispanic city leaders criticized the Chicago Board of Education for hitting Hispanic schools the hardest, CPS announced Friday it will return $15 million in frozen funds to high-poverty schools. But that increases the district's budget deficit to $129 million.
CPS is suing the state for more funding. It could also get relief through a "grand bargain" budget deal being negotiated in the Illinois Senate. But the funds can't come soon enough.
House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, who will lead the new commission, is optimistic this group will come up with legislation for funding reform by May 31, the last day of the legislative session. Rauner's bipartisan commission, she argued, provided a "framework" but no actual legislation for consideration.
"There were questions about how adequate the framework was," Currie told us.
In a letter sent earlier this month to Illinois Education Secretary Beth Purvis, who led Rauner's bipartisan commission, Currie and three other Democrats said the framework did not "properly recognize that Illinois' current school funding system is broken, in large part, because of overreliance on property taxes."
In the letter, Currie said, "Unless a truly massive infusion of state resources can be provided to our schools, Illinois will continue to be regressive compared to states with less property tax reliance." Additionally, Currie says not enough attention was placed on extra funding for schools in areas of concentrated poverty.
The bottom line is that Illinois will have to come up with billions more to properly fund education. That makes everyone in Springfield — Democrats and Republicans alike — nervous.
We don't need another study. We need political courage.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged New Orleans based Treaty Energy, five executives and an attorney Tuesday with fraudulent stock manipulation.
The SEC alleges Treaty fraudulently claimed to have struck oil in Belize to boost its stock price and illegally sell restricted shares to the public.
According to the complaint filed in Texas, Treaty issued "deceptive press releases" touting the success of drilling operations in Belize and Texas to raise demand for its unregistered stock.
The SEC claims Treaty Energy's founder Ronald Blackburn and four company officers – Andrew V. Reid, Bruce A. Gwyn, Lee C. Schlesinger and Michael A. Mulshine – earned at least $3.5 million in profits from the scheme.
Reid and Gwyn are additionally charged with signing false certifications in Treaty Energy's SEC filings.
"These company officers were behind press releases and SEC filings announcing drilling successes that were simply falsehoods designed to deceive the market and put investor money into their own pockets," SEC Associate Director for Enforcement David Peavler.
The SEC also charged Houston-based attorney Samuel Whitley with securities registration violations and facilitating the alleged fraud by issuing false legal opinion letters that allowed free trading of the restricted company stock.
Treaty also allegedly misrepresented the potential output and return on investment for a well in West Texas.
The company offered investors working interests in the well promising a yield return of 111.42 percent over a 10 year period.
The SEC said Treaty and its officers knew these claims were "baseless because the well was producing only marginal amounts of oil."
The well produced 235 total barrels from October 2013 to October 2014.
The SEC is asking for the defendants to pay back the money earned from the alleged scheme with prejudgment interest plus financial penalties as well as penny stock bars, officer-and-director bars and permanent injunctions.
A trial date has not been set yet.

Absence of Circle Line will impact TRX, BBCC, Merdeka PNB and KL Metropolis
By IZZAT RATNA / Pic By HUSSEIN SHAHARUDDIN
THE Mass Rapid Transit Line 3 (MRT3) project cancellation could impact city connectivity and ease of doing business in the city.
MRT3, or also known as the MRT Circle Line, was planned to provide connectivity with other existing lines. It was planned to connect in one loop with points from Ampang Jaya, Sentul Timur, Mont Kiara, Hartamas, Bukit Kiara, Kerinchi, Taman Desa and Kuala Lumpur (KL) Air Base.
A property expert claimed that the absence of the Circle Line will impact various developments such as the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC), Merdeka PNB 118 Tower and the KL Metropolis.
Consultancy firm CBREWTW Sdn Bhd MD Foo Gee Jen said without the Circle Line, the existing MRT1 and MRT2 would eventually die of a natural death if there is no effort to boost the connectivity lines, especially on the last mile.
"Extra efforts are required such as alternative connectivity routes like expansion of the feeder buses or other measures, to ensure that traffic congestion in town would be alleviated to remain competitive with other cities," he told The Malaysian Reserve.
"Without the completion of the final phase, the entire ecosystem from an economic and real estate standpoint would be disrupted," he added.
"KL is the centre of Malaysia, therefore, the city requires good infrastructure connectivity to support the rest of the development in the central region such as the TRX, Menara PNB 118 Tower and BBCC to name a few."
Foo expects an extreme level of stress to be exerted in the city centre's traffic without MRT3.
"If we are still relying on moving people on the road, I don't know if we can handle such massive movement of people, once all the surrounding developments are completed," he said.
Additionally, the consulting firm noted that many approved developments were planned with high-density plot ratios based on MRT3.
"Hence, land pricing would also take a large hit, especially for developers that may have put their money in hopes that the Circle Line would be completed.
"If that is the case, the affected stakeholders may have to restrategise their planning, either to differ the exchanging hands of the land from the stipulated timeframe, or if needed, sell them at a significant loss," Foo said.
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced the government's decision to cancel MRT3 and the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore highspeed rail project due to the country's current financial liability and weak balance sheet.

How can I get inexpensive mobile home insurance in Florida?
It is very difficult to find cheap mobile home insurance in Florida: the state has some of the highest Homeowners insurance rates in the country, and - as an unwritten rule - mobile homes are even more expensive to insure than permanent homes.
However, you can still use some money-saving tips to get the mobile home coverage that is best suited to you for an affordable price.
Tips for Saving on Mobile Home Insurance in Florida
Because a large portion of the state is situated in a high-risk zone prone to natural disasters, Florida's medium home insurance rates are almost double the national average home insurance premium.
Mobile home owners are even more affected by this, since their dwellings are considered more unstable than permanent homes. Some home insurance providers have even pulled out of high-risk zones, refusing to sell mobile home insurance in areas where natural disasters are the rule, rather than the exception.
Still, there are some ways of getting relatively cheap mobile home insurance in the state of Florida, if the following steps are taken:
- When filling in an online insurance application form, think about factors which can affect your mobile home insurance premium. Raise your deductible as much as possible, and take advantage of all the discounts that you qualify for.
- Make improvements to your mobile home, which are intended to minimize the damage to your dwelling. Mobile home insurance underwriters will lower the premium if they see that your home is exposed to a lower risk of being destroyed or suffering any kind of loss. Installing wind mitigating features is strongly encouraged in Florida and can reduce your premium three or even four times.
- Remember that flood is not insured against by mobile home insurance, you need to purchase additional flood coverage, instead.

Ubisoft bans 1500 players of For Honor for AFK farming
Ubisoft recently warned For Honor players to point out that it would take severe measures with those who farmed experience and booty without playing. This week, the distributor complied with its word and banned thousands of users who used this technique to progress.
If you've already been a For Honor player you know that to get experience points and objects all you need to do is complete multiplayer matches. Naturally, many people decided to abuse this system by using various methods – such as putting a league in control – so that the characters reach the end of the encounters without being expelled for inactivity.
Have you used any of these methods? Peacefully, Ubisoft gives you the opportunity to start doing things right. For now, the company only banned 1500 users for 3 days and will send warnings to 4000 players who have been detected as farmers.
Of course, Ubisoft made it clear that it will have tolerance or with all the players that use trap tools to exploit this type of farming. The above, as doing so goes against your Code of Conduct, so it will result in a permanent ban.
The big problem with this situation is that it affects the experience of many players who only look to have a good time in For Honor. Note that For Honor is not the only game that has gone through a similar problem in recent weeks, as Blizzard had to also implement measures to end the farming experience in custom games of Overwatch.
For Honor is now already available for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
What do you think of these measures? Do you think they will end the farmer's experience in For Honor? Tell us in the comment section below.

A trip to Ashland is not like a trip to "chill" at the beach. It's a jaunt that can include amazing art galleries, a raft of consciousness-raising seminars and healers, soothing parks, great hiking trails, the best food available in any town under 25,000 and – the crown jewel of the region – the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, with a dozen top plays in repertory.
It may be called the "Shakespeare Festival" (and it's the best such theater around), but nine of the plays are not by the Bard and will include such intriguing and contemporary fare as All the Way, the story of President Lyndon Johnson's triumphal 1964 campaign leading to a presidency brought low by an ill-advised war, and Medea, Macbeth, Cinderella, a stunning study of ambition in a trio of archetypal females.
"You can come here for the beautiful valley and all the outdoor activities it provides, for the cultural activities (three other thriving theaters) and a symphony, the 50-plus B&Bs with beautiful cottages within walking distance of everything, but the Festival is the main draw," says longtime OSF actor Catherine Coulson, "I just saw Medea, Macbeth, Cinderella and it's wonderful. You have to see it."
The play, penned by OSF's multi-talented artistic director Bill Rauch and Tracy Young, who directs it, has women behaving bravely, but often badly – one getting ultimate revenge on a cheating husband, another reaching for the throne by way of murder and a third using magic to secure love. And it's a musical to boot!
"It's some of the best theater in America, with the strongest, deepest acting company, producing works from all countries and eras," says actor Tony Heald, a veteran of eight seasons, acting now in New York. "It's all in a wonderful small town, with the best audiences anywhere. It's really the pinnacle, working rep with an incredibly talented company. For people coming to Ashland, it's the height of their day – and it's been the richest creative experience of my career."
The Festival is always stretching the envelope and this season is staging a re-do of the classic 1930 Marx Brothers film Animal Crackers – a zany fiasco set at a Roaring '20s cocktail party, with African explorer (Groucho Marx) and a missing priceless painting. Try keeping a straight face as the crazy quartet tosses endless goofy one-liners like, "I was outside smoking some meat. There wasn't a cigar store in the neighborhood!"
The play has lots of improv, with actors doing wild but benign capers with a few audience members, such as carrying one up on stage and marrying her, then sending her back to her seat, says John Tufts, who plays Chico.
"We're the oldest, largest rep theater in the country. It's an American institution, such a huge variety of shows – and after you see me as Chico in the afternoon, you can come to Henry V at night and watch me, in the title role, invade France. The scope of what we produce here is massive."
OSF is famed for its large, loyal and well-schooled audience, but, says media relations chief Amy Richard, it's also a great place to learn to love theater – and it's always fun to start with a comedy.
"The beautiful thing about the Festival – and the reason it's thrived for 77 years – is that it's not in a busy, urban environment where you have to go home at night. The founder, Angus Bowmer, understood that in order to keep people coming here, you have to offer quality theater and work closely with the community (scores of shops, restaurants, galleries and taverns) to keep people here more than one day."
Ashland and OSF are both noted for their tolerance and for embracing of diversity, with "a large percentage of very talented people of color and tremendous openness to LGBT and gender issues, as well as being family oriented, with a generous definition of 'family' as all colors and kinds," says Coulson.
For culture, cuisine and recreation, Ashland is a shining island in the West. It's got a beautiful trail system perched on the hills above town.
If you want more, there's rafting on the Rogue River; boating on Emigrant Lake; musical acts at the Britt Music Festivals, in Jacksonville; scores of wineries in the nearby Applegate Valley; and stunning Crater Lake a few hours into the Cascades.
Located in Grants Pass, Hellgate Jet Boat Excursions provides access to the wild and scenic Rogue River onboard wide-beam jet boats that skim the water's surface, while a professional Coast Guard licensed captain narrates the trip through Hellgate Canyon.
Complete festival information and tickets are at www.osfashland.org.
Jewish life thrives too
Ashland's repute as a cradle of diversity shows in its spiritual life as well, with "a large number of churches and three Jewish communities, something most people are surprised to hear," says OSF actor Catherine Coulson, wife of Rabbi Marc Sirinsky, recently retired from Temple Emek Shalom. The town also has a beautiful new Tibetan Buddhist Temple – Kagya Sukha Choling.
Temple Emek Shalom, Coulson notes, is "affiliated with the Reform Movement, is pluralistic and seeks to welcome people of all traditions, appealing to a broad range of congregants and guests."
Havurah Shir Hadash, a Renewal community led by Rabbi David Zaslow, is "infused with song, dance, meditation … a safe place for prayer and transformative spiritual experiences … dedicated to creating a real sense of community." (www.havurahshirhadash.org)
The two synagogues have a day camp, Camp Gesher: Bridges to Friendship, Aug. 6 to 10 for kids entering kindergarten through 7th grade. Located at Havurah Shir Hadash, it offers a fun Jewish experience. For more information,
see www.CampGesherAshland.com or email Camp Director
Andrea Shupack at email@example.com.
Chabad Jewish Center of Southern Oregon "embraces the millennia-old traditions of Judaism with a welcoming and modern approach," says its website.
Chabad's three-week day Camp Gan Israel is for children ages 3 to 12. It's 9 to 3 weekdays, July 2 to 20. For information, contact camp director, Faigy Zwiebel, at 541-482-2778 or

Integration of elements for acoustic performance
This article addresses the integration of building elements into separating walls and separating floors without impairing their acoustic performance. The building elements considered are structural, (e.g. hot-rolled columns, and non structural, e.g. building services. When integrating elements, it is important to follow the principles of isolation and sealing for acoustic detailing.
[top]Integration of structural elements
The integration of columns into infill separating walls is the most common situation where structural elements need to be considered.
Any columns that are on the line of the separating wall must be integrated so they do not act as a bridge through the wall for sound transmission. It is important to ensure that the gypsum lining is not fixed directly to the columns, and to provide some resilience between the column and the separating wall structure. This is usually achieved by providing 30 mm of dense mineral wool board around the column. The following figures show examples of suitable details.
Typical details integrating columns into solid masonry and cavity masonry walls are provided in the SCI Advisory Desk note AD287.
Beams that pass through separating walls should be isolated from the rooms with 25 mm of mineral wool (at least 10 kg/m3) and two layers of gypsum-based boards (at least 8 kg/m2 each layer). Any voids between the beam and the separating walls should be filled with flexible acoustic sealant (see the following figure).
See also details for incorporating beams into composite separating floors.
[top]Integration of services
Services that penetrate separating walls or floors or are located within separating walls or floors must be detailed appropriately to ensure that the acoustic performance of the separating construction is not impaired.
The following aspects should be considered:
- The location of electrical and piped services in separating walls should be carefully considered, if possible, they should be avoided.
- Where services in separating walls cannot be avoided they should be staggered on either side of a separating wall and should be backed by two layers of gypsum-based board and mineral wool (see following figures).
- Where there are several services to be located in close proximity, e.g. in a kitchen, creating a service void is the preferred method for ensuring that the acoustic performance is not impaired (see below).
- Services in a separating floor can be accommodated within battened floor treatments but the services should not bridge the resilient foam strip (see below left).
- Services that penetrate a separating floor should be boxed in using two layers of gypsum-based board (at least 8 kg/m2 each layer) and 25 mm of mineral wool (at least 10 kg/m3). Any voids between the beam and the separating walls should be filled with flexible acoustic sealant (see below right).
[top]Down lighters and recessed lighting
Down lighters or recessed lighting may be installed in the ceilings of separating floors with composite decks or precast unit floors with no significant loss of acoustic performance, provided that:
- There is a minimum ceiling void of 75 mm
- Lighting is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
- There is no more than one light per 2 m2 of ceiling area in each room
- The centres between lights are not less than 0.75 m
- The openings do not exceeding 100 mm diameter or 100 × 100 mm.
Down lighters or recessed lighting may be installed in the ceilings of light steel separating floors with no significant loss of acoustic performance, provided that:
- The down lighters are backed by two layers of gypsum-based board at least 23 kg/m2, or proprietary acoustic hoods can be applied to down lighters.
- Alternatively, laboratory acoustic testing can be conducted to determine the impact of down lighters on the acoustic performance of the separating floor system. The impact of the down lighter on the acoustic performance of the floor will be product-specific.
When down lighters or recessed lighting are installed, particular attention should be paid to Building Regulations Part B (Fire Safety). Some down lighters are available with integral acoustic (and fire) resistance; or proprietary acoustic covers are available.
