Outside of television and film, Kroll is also a published author. He co-authored the book "Bar Mitzvah Disco: The Music May Have Stopped, but the Party's Never Over" (2005), along with Roger Bennett and Jules Shell.
From 2013 to 2015, Kroll dated fellow comedian and actress Amy Poehler. She mentions his multiple times in her 2014 memoir "Yes Please". He began dating landscape artist Lily Kwong in late 2018. In early 2020, they announced they had moved in together and had been living together since the beginning of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
In 2012, Kroll paid $1.5 million for a home in LA's Los Feliz neighborhood. He listed this home for sale in October 2020 for $2.3 million.
In July 2020, he upgraded significantly to a home in the same neighborhood. The home was listed for $5.895 million. He paid $6 million to beat out several competing bidders.

Looking to add a little more fun to your scuba diving? Or to practice some skills or try out some new ones? Or maybe you are just a big fan of games and looking for a way to implement them into your favourite sport? Well, we've got you covered with this list of scuba diving games that are perfect for learning, teaching, or just having fun.
From underwater versions of some of the world's most popular sports to underwater versions of common party games, there's something on this list that will bring out the inner athlete (or maybe inner child) in every diver. We even have a few options for those of you who are landlocked and don't have dive site or pool access on a regular basis.
A play on a scavenger hunt, but this time use natural objects. For example: a clown fish, a certain statue, or ever a scuba diver with her hair tied in braids. Create and use laminated bingo cards with each object on the chart and mark them off as you spot them. Bring your underwater camera with you to take photos to show as proof to avoid any cheating.
Underwater hockey isn't just a fun game, it's a real thing. Granted, it's played with snorkels and masks rather than scuba gear, but this underwater sport is a lot of fun. Underwater Hockey (also referred to as UWH or sometimes even Octopush) originated in the 1950s in England and has since become a world-wide sport with world championships held every two years. If you love hockey and being underwater, this sport is definitely something to look into.
Remember the egg and spoon races that you played at birthday parties when you were a kid? Well, it's come back as a fun game to play underwater as well. Of course, you'll have to make a couple of adjustments so it works underwater.
We recommending using a spoon upside down and a ping pong ball instead of an egg. Instead of worrying about the ball dropping, your goal is to keep it from floating up to the surface. You can even up the ante by making it a race, or part of an obstacle course.
We're not really sure why underwater rugby is called underwater rugby, because it's really not at all like the land sport. But, we'll forgive the odd name because it sounds like a whole lot of fun. The goal of the game is for your team to get your salt-water filled ball into the basket. Players are prohibited from blocking the basket (ie: you can't sit on it), but anyone with the ball is fair game to be 'attacked' by opposing team members.
Think you are good at darts? How about playing the game underwater? It's not quite as easy as it looks, though it is fun to try. For an extra element of difficulty, and to practice your buoyancy skills, do it while hovering. You can up the difficulty even more by playing with your head down and fins up. Just make sure to play in a pool or somewhere with a sandy bottom so you don't harm any corals.
If you'd just prefer to be underwater, or are maybe looking for a way to get more comfortable with being underwater, then grab a pack of waterproof guards and sink down for a hand of crazy eights, war, or even poker. If you are feeling particularly creative you can even organize an underwater poker run. Word of advice if you go this route: make sure to mark the cards differently at each stop (ie: with different coloured dots) so that dive buddies don't get sneaky and try to swap before they surface with their final hand.
Plenty of dive sites around the world have buoyancy control hoops, tubes, and other set-ups to help diver achieve optimal buoyancy. But while this is definitely an important skill to have and practice, you can make it a bit more fun by turning it into an obstacle course-type race. If you are experienced divers with great control, add a degree of difficulty by making some of the spots tight enough that the diver will have to take off their BCD & tanks and push it through ahead of them.
Note: if your group is planning an obstacle-course type game, you should always have a couple of divers monitoring the 'players' as safety is always the first priority.
You may be a great runner on land, but have you ever tried those skills underwater? If not, now is the time to try because it's pretty darn funny. Especially if you organize a race and get a few of you going, or turn it into a relay style race. Of course, you should save this scuba diving game for the pool or somewhere with a sandy bottom so you don't risk destroying or knocking into any corals.
Take your classic game of Frisbee in the park and bring it under water. It's best played in a pool (don't want to risk knocking into any coral or sea life), but it can be a ton of fun. Plus, it's a good way to practice your buoyancy skills. Don't have a Frisbee? Don't worry, change it into a game of catch; whoever drops the 'ball' or touches the bottom first loses the game. This game is a fun and easy teaching tool as well.
If you have ever dreamed of finding missing treasure or pirate gold, then geocaching is the best way to embrace your inner treasure hunter. Sure, you don't get actual treasure (the 'prize' is usually a colourful box with waterproof paper where you can write your name and the date you found it), but it's a lot of fun. One of the best things about geocaching is that it is suitable for divers of all levels, allowing novice divers to practice their skills and feel more comfortable underwater, and providing a fun game for experienced divers. Plus, geocaching for scuba divers exists around the world.
Chess, checkers, tic-tac-toe, and even dominos can be played underwater. It's another fun idea for those working on becoming accustomed to breathing underwater as the games make it easy to relax and concentrate on something else. Just make sure you get weighted pieces, or else you'll be chasing your chessmen to the surface.
If it's nearing Halloween season, then why not put your pumpkin carving skills to the test and see how spooky you can make your jack-o-lantern by carving it underwater? We haven't tried it, but those that have say it's pretty tricky- especially since the pumpkins are buoyant and try to escape by floating to the surface. This activity may seem a bit odd, but underwater pumpkin carving is pretty popular in North America and is done by dive groups in lakes, quarries, and of course the oceans. Some places even have underwater pumpkin carving contests.
Ok, we'll admit that this one is cheating a little bit. But, if you are missing diving and don't have a dive club or operator nearby, then you can at least pretend by playing a scuba diving video game. It's better than nothing, right?
In a world of Mario, Donkey Kong, Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty, scuba diving may seem like an odd subject for a video game. But, surprisingly, there are actually quite a few scuba video games to choose from, some of which even date back to the early 1980s.
One of the most popular scuba diving video games on the market right now is called ABZU which was released in 2016. While it is a couple of years old, this puzzle- type video game has received a lot of rave reviews for its stunning visuals which all ocean enthusiasts seem to love.
Other popular scuba diving video games include: Infinite Scuba, Endless Ocean and Endless Ocean 2, and Subnautica which you can actually play in virtual reality.
Have you played any of these underwater scuba diving games (or scuba diving video games)? Or, better yet, do you have any scuba diving game (or video game) recommendations to add to our list? Let us know in the comments below!

Fake Tweets: Celebrities Paid to Promote ICOs
BitcoinCryptoEthereumICONewsTokens
August 27, 2017 12:22 pm 1
When Luis Suarez tweeted about Stox, a project that was not even on our radar, we wondered how the world famous footballer knew about the project, then brushed it off thinking maybe he is a big crypto fan.
That's because the tweet has no suggestion that it is paid. Nor do we actually know whether it was, but for the first time, as far as this space is concerned, a celebrity has come clean to hashtag their tweet as an ad.
Floyd Mayweather, the world famous boxer who participated in the probably most viewed sporting event yesterday against Conor McGregor, tweeted this on the 23rd of August:
Mayweather paid ICO tweet.
You may notice the hashtag "ad" and "CryptoMediaGroup," which makes it somewhat clear this was a paid tweet to his more than 7 million twitter followers.
The Crypto Media Group was apparently created only six days ago on August 21st according to its CEO Logan Schauer, who further told Motherboard that he was able to arrange the ad through mutual connections and because they have previous digital advertising experience. He further says:
"Our goal is to take [the ICO market] from this very small industry of cryptocurrency-focused investors and take it to the masses. We want to help the market transition from where it is now – word-of-mouth spreading through the crypto community – and we want to bridge that gap to the mainstream world."
This space is on the verge of becoming mainstream or has already gone mainstream with professional ads spotted in public places now and then. But are ICOs really ready for mum and daddy?
The ICO being promoted in this case is a news aggregator who claims to reach some 50 million daily users through their distribution partners, but their website has an Alexa ranking of some 1.5 million, suggesting they probably handle less than 1,000 pageviews a week.
Hubii's Alexa rank.
They aim to blockchenize their network through ethereum and monetize it through a new token, which they say can be used to pay distributors or promoters.
Mayweather himself was paid through Hubii tokens, rather than fiat or more established digital currencies such as bitcoin and eth, despite Hubii stating the ICO is off-limit to US citizens.
Interestingly, this is the second time Mayweather refers to an ICO. His first time was back in July and, once again, the Instagram post relates to Stox:
Mayweather Instagrams about Stox ICO back in July this year.
The chances of both Mayweather and Suarez suddenly finding an interest in a pretty obscure ICO, which even we were not aware of until yesterday or so, are very slim, if believable at all.
In which case, there are some significant ethical questions to be raised regarding the promotion of highly risky investments without revealing that it is merely an advertisement.
Just to be clear, we do not actually know whether that's the case regarding Stox. There were suggestions it may be just paid PR, but since there was no indication it was such, we leaned towards genuine, hence covered it.
Had we known it was an advert (if indeed it was), we would have not. Therefore, we may have inadvertently misled our readers because we ourselves may have been misled.
Moreover, it's not clear whether such promotions have a likewise counterpart. Advertising a product is one thing. Telling millions of users you will make tons of money on say Apple or Google shares might be something quite different. Especially if you were paid to say so and do not reveal it.
Both of these celebrities, in our view, need to make it clear whether their Stox tweet or Instagram post was a paid advert and they need to make it obvious in future such posts that it is a paid promotion, rather than a genuine statement.
Otherwise, they may be misleading the public regarding very highly risky investments which can crash 50% or even 99% in seconds. Potentially leaving our mum and daddy with no pension or homeless.

Maybe you're in the midst of a financial turnaround. Maybe you're having a hard time finding a job. Maybe you've just been waylaid by a torrent of unexpected expenses.
Whatever the reason, you're in a situation where money is super tight. You're dealing with it, though. You've got this.
There's only one catch. Someone close to you is about to celebrate a special event of some kind and it would be very reasonably expected that you contribute to that celebration with a gift of some kind or some other special thing.
Maybe it's someone's birthday. Maybe someone is getting married or having a child.
Whatever it is, a celebration is in order, but because of life's constraints or your other personal commitments, it is very hard for you to come up with the resources to offer up the things you'd like to be able to contribute. You just don't have the cash to buy a really nice gift or pay for some sort of special treat.
I know that feeling quite well. You feel like a cheapskate or like the financial struggles in your life are just pulling you down – or both. You feel really guilty that you can't support this person you care about in their special moment in the way you really think that you should. It can feel awful.
Here's the thing: You're not without options here. You don't have to go through this occasion without contributing to that person's celebration in a meaningful way. You just have to step back and look at other options beyond the expensive flashy gift or the pricey treat.
Chores are a part of adult life. There's always laundry to do, dishes to clean, things to fix, meals to cook, floors to sweep, carpets to vacuum, cars to clean, things to pick up and put away, beds to make, mail to sort… it's endless.
If you want to make a celebration special for someone, take a block of extra time and do all of the chores that are facing them at the top of their "do not like" list. If they hate laundry, do a bunch of their laundry. If they hate vacuuming, vacuum all of their carpets. If they hate cleaning toilets, clean their toilets. Do whatever it is that they least like to do in their lives. If that's done, move up the list. Try as hard as you can to clear their plate of chores completely, but when in doubt choose to take on tasks they really don't like.
What this gives them is free time in exchange of tasks that they dislike, and that's a tremendous gift. Free time can be spent on fun things or on tasks that keep getting put off or, frankly, whatever they want. There are few things better than starting a weekend with no real chores on your plate!
What is it that the celebrated person enjoys doing that doesn't involve spending money? Plan a day around that thing and spend it with them.
If the celebrating person likes hiking, plan a day of hiking in a state park somewhere. Pack their bag with appropriate supplies and a wonderful sack lunch for them and either go along for the hiking or pick them up and drop them off wherever they want you to do so. If that person loves to read, clear out several hours for uninterrupted reading, make a comfortable spot for them, leave them alone and free of distractions, and bring them a meal that's simple to eat and won't be messy on the books they're reading. If that person likes to play video games, do the same – make that space as comfortable for them as you can, bring that person food and snacks, and stay out of the way. Let them have their day in complete peace with their passion.
It's extremely important that you do everything in your power to genuinely appreciate whatever the activity is if you're going to engage in that activity, too. If you plan a game day for your husband or wife and you're personally not really into games, don't force yourself into that event. If you do, have fun doing it and let that other person direct all of the choices. Don't act miserable or distracted or else you take away from the value of this celebration. If you're not engaging in it, let them be on their own to enjoy it without distraction.
To this very day, one of the greatest gifts I've ever received was from my grandmother, who spent a day making several dozen breakfast burritos exactly how I liked them and packaging them individually for freezing. She mostly used items she had on hand to make them – the few ingredients she bought were pretty inexpensive, like eggs.
This is an amazing gift if you happen to live with someone, because it's essentially home-cooked food, which is inexpensive in itself. The "cost" here is in the form of the effort. Making several dozen breakfast burritos – to use my grandmother's example – is a substantial amount of effort, although the ingredients are pretty cheap. It's the effort that is the gift here, not the ingredients; in terms of raw dollars and cents, this type of gift will likely save your household money in the long run.
Pick out a food that the person you're celebrating really likes. Perhaps it's breakfast burritos that they like, or maybe it's bean burritos or steak burritos. Maybe they like tuna casserole or pierogis or … well, whatever it is that they like as either an individual meal or as a family meal. Whatever that meal is, make a whole bunch of it and package it up for them for easy preparation. Make it so that they can grab a package out of the freezer and have it ready to go in as few steps as humanly possible, and make a lot of them.
Strategy #4: Volunteer to do a lot of the 'grunt work' for the celebration.
Let's say you have a friend or a sibling who is getting married and you know you'd love to give them a huge, memorable gift… but you don't have the means to do so. One option you can take advantage of is to simply be one of the people involved in pulling off the wedding.
Our wedding was actually centered around gifts like this. A family friend made our cake. An aunt was the caterer. A sister-in-law was the florist. A family friend was the photographer. A family friend was lined up to be the DJ too (although circumstances later prevented that). Some of the features of the wedding weren't done to bridal magazine perfection, but the cost of our wedding was absolutely minimal and there was something special and close about the whole affair.
Strategy #6: Take on some of that person's burdens for a while.
If you know someone that has to deal with an intense burden of some kind, like constant care for an ailing child or spouse or parent, take on that person's burden for a while and let them actually exit the picture and enjoy some unburdened time. That is just about the greatest gift you could give to a person with an intense responsibility on their shoulders.
Offer to spend the day being a caregiver in their place so they can spend it doing literally whatever they want. If it's possible, consider even doing it for multiple days so they can take a short trip and get completely away from things for a while.
Here's the real truth: The most valuable gift you can give someone is time. Giving your time to them in the form of making something special or in terms of taking away some of their tasks and burdens is an incredible gift. It gives them the time to enjoy things in their life that they might not otherwise have time to enjoy, or it gives them something special that only they have. Such gifts are deeply meaningful while only scarcely scratching one's wallet.

Alumnus discusses food justice and gentrification
By Sage Daugherty — Online News Editor
About 50 students and faculty gathered at 4 p.m. Monday in Center for Natural Sciences 112 to listen to a presentation about social justice by Ajamu Brown '99. Brown's presentation was titled "Organizing on the Front Lines for Social/Environmental Justice and Food Sovereignty in Central Brooklyn."
Currently, Brown is heading an environmental health advocate pilot program with the New York City Housing Authority. The program aims to increase the capacity of public housing residents and improve the environmental quality and safety of their homes.
Brown holds a master's degree in urban and environmental policy from Tufts University and a bachelor's in speech communications from Ithaca College.
While pursuing his master's in Environmental Policy, Brown said he got involved in food justice activism because he was interested in sustainability. Coming back to the college and interacting with students allowed him to understand their opinions about food justice, he said.
"Thinking about how we talk about sustainability in a real way — I thought that food justice was kind of the low hanging fruit to talk about larger issues around energy and sustainability in general…. A lot of people focus on the ecological aspect of it," Brown said. "The social piece of it is kind of secondary, and you need both of them to work in order to create that sustainability."
Central Brooklyn is the largest black community in the country and is ethnically, racially and religiously diverse, Brown said. With a mother from Jamaica, and as a first generation American, Brown said he began looking at food inequality issues because of his lived experiences and West Indian heritage.
"Brooklyn has a huge West Indian population," Brown said. "They also have a lot of social challenges, a lot of poverty, a lot of unemployment. I look at it like this: if you have an issue, you can look at a problem or you could look at the assets and organize to adjust those problems by using what's already there — and the community's biggest assets are the people.
He spoke about gentrification — a process where the middle class restores run-down urban areas — in New York City throughout the past 30 years as an obstacle to achieving an ideal, inclusive economy and need for more affordable housing, particularly in Brooklyn.
"There is a lack of affordable housing," he said. "We talk about the gentrification, and the people who gentrify get gentrified out, and they have to move somewhere else and gentrify that, and it's just a cycle. Why should I fight to improve my neighborhood when I can't afford to live there?"
Brown talked about wider food injustice in the United States and the unhealthy food system that is currently in place. He said many rural towns lack healthy food access, even though the majority of the food consumed nationwide is grown in rural areas. Organizing around these issues can help close the divide, Brown said.
Freshman Amanda Little said food justice and inequality could apply to the Ithaca community, and she is a supporter of locally grown food.
"Ithaca has a strong community base with food; they have the Farmer's Market and I think there are a lot of people here that would be interested in being involved with food justice," Little said. "I definitely try to buy organic and local because I see the environmental effects and the effects it has on the local economy."
Brown said food is a human right and the problem of food injustice in poorer areas of the country, like Brooklyn, needs to be rectified. He cited a 2010 New York Times article, "The Obesity-Hunger Paradox," which said the Bronx's hunger and obesity problems are not simply related to a lack of fresh food, but exacerbated by poverty. The borough's 14 percent unemployment rate is the highest in the state, and it's one of the poorest counties in the nation.
"People are putting all this stuff in their bodies and the weight gain and the attitudes and the hypertension — people are killing themselves," Brown said. "They don't see our food as medicine, and that's what it is. Food is really a human right and not a luxury as it's treated now, particularly in urban areas.
Freshman Lima Hossain is from Brooklyn and had a year-long internship at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens that opened her eyes to food injustice in her own community.
"I have seen [food injustice] too in the community and my school was on a border — one side was Park Slope, a big white Caucasian community, and the other side was a big African American population," Hossain said. "The Park Slope area would have more green foods markets or they would have a Farmer's Market every weekend and then you go to the other side where the black community is and all you see are supermarkets, and you don't know where the food comes from."

For over 10 years we have been helping businesses build innovative brands.
Since 2005, Create Studios has developed itself as a boutique agency that is big enough and has enough resources to tackle even large-scale projects but remains small enough to retain a personal touch and close client relationships.
The core of the Create Studios business is designing and building all websites - big and small. We also offer Search Engine Optimisation Services, Email Marketing Service and Social Media Marketing Services. So, whether you need a large e-commerce website, a small mini-site build, a Facebook Business Page Tab or a more powerful EDM template or anything in between - we can help.
Create Studios delivers goal-oriented and conversion-driven websites that are firmly rooted in business objectives. This distinguishes us from many agencies that focus only on the visual appearance of a website and not on the business return it is giving to the owner. From the placement of form fields to the use or non-use of Flash – everything we design ties back to the business goals in some way.
We also can offer other services requiring the same skill sets – generally in the context of a website build or an online marketing campaign.

This fantastic new comedy club is set to open in Hull
The Comedy Lounge is expected to open in George Street within the next month
Phil WinterBusiness Editor
Updated 18:51, 4 NOV 2017
The owner of a new comedy club in Hull has promised visitors "a fun-filled night from coming in to going out."
The Comedy Lounge is set to open its doors in George Street within the next month.
The venture is being launched by comedian and hypnotist Paul Hazell, 50, and his wife Beverley, 49.
The new club will offer table service of light food and drinks, as well as a house band interspersed with a host of live comedians.

The Comedy Lounge will open in George Street
Paul, who has performed on stages in London, Manchester, Leeds and on cruise ships across the world, said: "We can't believe how many people have shared and commented on the Facebook post since we announced it.
"We are thinking of opening Wednesday to Sunday, and have plans for a student night, a new material night and maybe inviting some old-school comedians back as well.
"There will be three or four acts a night – that is the aim – and we will have a house band as well in between each comedian."
Meet the team who will run Hull Venue as building work nears completion
Paul has a wealth of comedy experience, having performed sets across the country and on Royal Caribbean cruises.
He said opening his own club was something he had been dreaming of for a while, and had decided now was the right time.
Paul Hazell
"I have been doing comedy for at least 20 years, and I am that age now where I have a bit more time and can put more effort into running my own club," Paul said.
"Although I have performed all over, my roots are in Hull and I think this is a great time to be opening with City of Culture.
"We will be doing this as a table service place, so the minute you walk in you will be served with food and drink."
The new club in George Street will be in the former homes of the Bali Hai nightclub, and more recently Laser Quest.
As well as the nights already planned by Paul, The Comedy Lounge could also host gong nights – giving members of the public the chance to turn up and test out a routine on the audience.
If the audience enjoys the routine, the comedian is given more time on stage.
When asked what visitors to The Comedy Lounge can expect when it opens its doors, Paul said: "I would just say it will be a fun-filled night from coming in to going out.

"You can come in, get seated, grab a bite to eat and have a drink, and enjoy the comedy."
An exact opening date for the club has yet to be announced.
Paul said however he hoped it would be open within the next month.

Blakes Boys winemaker Andries Blake loves Chenin grapes and his passion shines through in this gorgeous bottle. I loved the fresh, modern branding that hints at the style of wine that you can expect. It's deliciously fruity and, thanks to a generous 3 maturation in first and second fill oak barrels, has a complexity that you don't often enjoy in Chenin Blancs.
This is excellent value for money. Chenin Blanc fermented in new French oak is more expensive than tank fermented Chenin. Blake's Family Wines got . . . the perfect balance between quality without breaking once's bank balance.
The wine is produced from a dry land bush vine in the Swartland. These grapes have small berries, but have concentrated flavours. This fruit driven . . . Chenin Blanc have sufficient body to enhance a full flavoured meal. The wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled.
The big upside is that the wine is available at a drinkable price in niche wine shops in Gauteng , Cape Town or online. Our aim is not to have a . . . customer that buy the wine as a once-off – the aim is to have a loyal customer whose first choice in Chenin Blanc in the future will always be the Blake Boys Chenin Blanc.
This is a wine suitable for each occasion. A wine to quaff with friends but also an excellent partner to a meal of poultry or a creamy pasta dish.

Judaism Confronts Wife-Beating

Unit of English as a Foreign Language
The myth of the kind gentle, Jewish husband has been broken down. The evidence that Jewish wife beating exists is strong. Statistics and headlines assail us with facts. 'One out of six' or 'one out of seven' Israeli women is regularly beaten at home. The estimated minimum figure is 100,000 battered women in Israel (of whom 40,000 end up hospitalized); the maximum number is 200,000 (which includes the Arab population). [1] (1) It is incontrovertible today, something which was not the case in the mid 70's, that Jewish awareness of the problem is on the rise--though not enough. The Jewish feminist, who may be alert to the existence of the problem in Israel, may not be aware that a similar problem exists on her own turf. Pick up the Denver newspaper, the Boston Jewish Advocate, The New York Times and you will hear about rabbis' wives who are beaten by their husbands, surgeons' wives who stay in abusive marriages for 12-16 years, Kosher shelters and kitchens for Jewish victims of domestic violence in New York City and Boston.

Como Lake Middle School Toy Drive benefits children at Royal Columbian Hospital
New Westminster, BC — May 7, 2013
Como Lake Middle School students Giordana Masi and Olivia D'Agostini have delivered 26 boxes of toys to the Royal Columbian Hospital Paediatrics Department as a result of a toy drive they hosted at school. The two Coquitlam grade 7 students initiated the toy drive out of a desire to help children at a hospital that has cared for them in the past.
"Sometimes you are so lucky and others may not have the same opportunities and we think it is important to try to bring those opportunities to them," said Giordana Masi. Her friend, Olivia D'Agostini, agreed: "We were both born here, and we've been cared for here, so we wanted to make kids' stays in the hospital a little more enjoyable by donating these toys."
The toys couldn't have arrived at a better time, says Michelle Dersch, Paediatrics Patient Care Coordinator. "We purge toys on a regular basis to ensure we meet infection control standards, and it has been a long time since we've received any new toys for our young patients to play with," says Dersch. "Not only do the children being treated at RCH benefit from the distraction of having these toys to play with, but so do their siblings who spend time here, as well."
Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) is one of Fraser Health's regional pediatric care centres and provides a high level of care to more than 1,000 infants, children and adolescents each year from the communities of Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.
Newborns to adolescents are treated for a range of ailments including respiratory infections, flu, diabetes, appendicitis, asthma and other forms of allergy, heart conditions, broken bones and bone malformations, and many other conditions. These young patients benefit from access to RCH medical specialties such as orthopaedic surgery, general surgery, cardiology testing and referrals and psychiatric support for children and adolescents.

145-year-old schooner Governor Stone sets sail on rebuild after Hurricane Michael
Samantha Neely
PANAMA CITY — A 145-year-old Bay County schooner journeyed across dry land Saturday morning to prepare for its long-awaited makeover.
The Governor Stone was lifted out of Watson Bayou and parked at St. Andrews School to begin its once-in-a-lifetime community rebuild in time for National Maritime Day.
The historic vessel is a cargo schooner built in 1877, the surviving ship among five that were built. After Michael's wrath damaged it in 2018, it had to be docked on dry land at Snug Harbor to protect it from further damage.
It will be rebuilt almost exactly how it was prior to Hurricane Michael and with historically accurate tools, the main changes being electric lights and motor. The rebuild will be led by St. Andrews Shipbuilder Capt. Anderson Barnes and his team at Stone Loft Boat Shop Inc. It is expected to be completed by October 2023 for its 147th anniversary.
Rebuild project receives grant:145-year-old schooner Governor Stone to be rebuilt with $1.5 million FEMA grant. How to help.
St. Andrews marina moves:'It's going to be exciting': Market at St. Andrews moving to shadier, more spacious location
Colleen Reilly, president of the Friends of Governor Stone, said she was overwhelmed with how ecstatic she was. She had live-streamed the entire move, saying she could not stop herself from excitedly narrating for viewers.
"It was amazing watching (Governor Stone) be pulled out from the dry land and go down the road and I was the second vehicle," Reilly said. "(Barnes) was first behind the truck and then me and then we had like six other cars. It was just so cool."
Stone Loft Community Outreach Coordinator Megghan McDougall said it was an overall smooth process with some minor hiccups. She said she loved hearing all the stories about the community's experiences with the boat.
"It's cool that the next generation is kind of getting involved," McDougall said. "And then we all have kids, so we want our children to know about it. There's a lady I know that she was talking about the very first outing her child ever had was a sailboat ride on the Governor Stone and I thought how cool is that."
The Governor Stone Rebuild Project received a $1.5 million grant from FEMA to restore the vessel and was approved for a short-term lease at the school on May 11. Reilly said this day means so much to her since it took nearly three years to get here.
"The three-year journey to this point, a lot of open hands, asking for donations, a lot of begging and pleading, 'Please help us out, help us salvage parts. If you've got parts, let us know,'" Reilly said. "Filing of grants to keep the organization going. Hoping FEMA came through with the historic grant. Finding a shipbuilder."
Finding a shipbuilder was one of their many challenges, as they wanted to find someone locally to complete the job. Just when Reilly thought they might have to ship the vessel off to a museum out of state, they found Barnes ready to do the job.
Barnes said he has had experience both working with older ships and with the Governor Stone itself.
"I was an apprentice in Newport, Rhode Island, for about two years for putting out restoration. I've been doing this for 15 years, my dad and I used to own a 75-foot wooden deadrise that we restored for about 10 years. I've been a boat builder for most of my life, really," Barnes said. "To be able to be part of this project, I've always admired and loved the Governor Stone. I was a junior member before when it was still floating. I helped work on it several times in the past."
He said he sees 12,000 hours of work needed for this rebuild but knows he and his crew can do it.
"It's a huge responsibility, but I've got a good team behind me. And it takes a village so really, we've got the whole team here — the Stone Loft — and then tons of volunteer help, the Friends of the Governor Stone, which is the organization that takes care of the boat," Barnes said. "They're providing tons of material support, and volunteers and I'm pretty sure the whole community is going to be part of this. So it's a pretty big honor."
As Barnes and his crew starts work on the vessel, residents have a chance to get in on the rebuild. Visitors to the St. Andrews area can come onto the property and pick up a piece of sandpaper and sand a little bit on the vessel itself, as well as watch the rebuild over time.
Reilly said having community involvement as part of the process was important to her.
"It's vital that even Bay county residents and visitors to our area are a part of this because it's not every day that you can actually drive by and watch a boat being rebuilt using the skills and the tools just like they used in the 1800s," Reilly said.
As the countdown begins for the Governor Stone to finally return to its home on the marina, Reilly said she can't wait for residents and visitors to learn about its history and discover why it's so important to the culture of St. Andrews.
"It's much more than your average boat that seems to be a money pit, because she is history and being able for children to see her and beat on her and get a taste of what that's like to be on the water," Reilly said. "Once you're on the Governor Stone, she gets in your blood and she never lets go."


2019 Chicago Drum Show Roll Call!
Thanks for posting Kat, glad you are going, cant make it, but will look for pics and videos.
I'll make the 90 minute drive on at least one day (usually Saturday).
I'll be there both days.
I'll be there Friday, Saturday and until mid afternoon on Sunday.
Haven't decided yet. I'll let you all know when I do.
i will be there. fly in friday, fly out sunday.
I'm in for the first time...will be at the saturday show. Cannot wait.
I hope I can make it, it would be Saturday if I do.
I know I'm in the minority, but I'm not sure how you guys do two days at the show. I was there last year for about three hours, and that was probably one hour too long.
Then again, I wasn't hunting for deals, and I just wanted to visit Mapex....who wasn't there.
I'll probably pop in again this year, but I have to wait to see what my kid's baseball schedule looks like that weekend.
Sorry. I'll be there in thought.
I was looking at a trailer full of drums in my basement and thinking I should make the 18 hr drive!
I'd definitely like to come back. I was there with Josh of INDe Drum Lab last year displaying some artwork I did of one of his classic drums.
I'm kind of with you on this. Unless I'm going to a clinic... I can see what I'm going to see in an hour or so.
I'll be there Saturday. Can't wait!
I can't speak for anyone else, but it seems silly to drive from Pittsburgh to Chicago for the show and not stay for two days. I'll catch some clinics and usually a master class or two. I have several friends in the area that I try to catch up with and this year I'm going to swing down to "The Launching Pad" restaurant on Rt. 66 in nearby Wilmington Delaware. It is a landmark now owned by a drummer named Tully Garrett and his girlfriend Holly Barker. They just reopened it after a fourteen month renovation. As for the show itself, something cool always goes home with me. My shopping budget this year is around $1000-$1200. I'm sure that something fun will follow me home.

The Route to 24 Heures du Mans
Most people know that the world's greatest race was first run at Le Mans in 1923, organised by the Automobile Club de L'Ouest to test and show the development of the motorcar, and except for the intervention of wartime, this historic race continues to dominate the thoughts of the sportscar racing enthusiast, but, do they know where the teams come from and how they gain entry into the 'main event'? For any newcomer to the sport it can be rather daunting so we'll try to make a little sense of it all… but first, a quick overview of the various championships around the world…
The World Endurance Championship - WEC
Categories - LMP1, LMP2, GTE Pro, GTE Am
Currently there is massive global interest and involvement in sportscar racing around the world but there is only one truly global championship, the World Endurance Championship. With a series of 6 hour races at circuits around the globe and, at its pinnacle, the "Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans". The series features multiple classes of cars competing together, with sports prototypes competing in the Le Mans Prototype categories, and production-based grand tourers competing in the LM GTE categories.
The following information is taken from http://www.fiawec.com/presentation/classes.html - Please see this for more detailed information on class specification (engine sizes/capacities/dimensions etc)
LMP1 - LE MANS" PROTOTYPE 1 category includes:
"LE MANS" PROTOTYPE 1 Hybrid: with Energy Recovery System (ERS).
"LE MANS" PROTOTYPE 1 : with no Energy Recovery System (ERS) reserved only for privateers.
The LMP1 Private Teams category is reserved exclusively for independent private teams. A team that is independent of a manufacturer means a team that does not benefit from any support from a manufacturer other than for the single supply of engines, services relating to these engines or commercial support. Any support from a manufacturer relating to the chassis or to chassis systems is prohibited. It is understood that traction control is considered as a chassis system.
LMP2 - "LE MANS" PROTOTYPE 2 (specifications due to change in 2017)
("LM" P2) is a racing car with no production minimum required.
It is an open or closed car, destined only to teams independent of manufacturers and/or engine suppliers.
The selling price of the complete new open cockpit car, without the engine, as described in Article 5.6.1 but with all available options must not exceed €388.500. For closed cars, the selling price must not exceed €463.500.
GTE Pro & GTE Am
The "Le Mans" Grand Touring Endurance car ("LM" GTE) is a car having an aptitude for sport with 2 doors, 2 or 2+2 seats, opened or closed, which can be used perfectly legally on the open road and available for sale thanks to the dealer network of a manufacturer recognised by the Endurance Committee.
This category includes two groups:
A group destined more especially to professional (LMGTE-PRO).
A group destined more specially to amateurs drivers (LMGTE-AM). In this group only cars at least-one year old or fully in compliance with the specifications of the previous year car - unless specified in these regulations - will be admitted.
Categories - Prototype (LMP2 & DP), Prototype Challenge, GT Le Mans & GT Daytona
Sports car racing also attracts a huge following in America albeit to a slightly different specification to that enjoyed in Europe. In 1998, the legendary sportscar entrepreneur, Don Panoz created a partnership with the Automobile Club de L'Ouest to begin a 10-hour race in the spirit of Le Mans, dubbed the Petit Le Mans. The inaugural Petit Le Mans took place as a part of the Professional SportsCar Racing series, in which Panoz was an investor.
For 1999, the series changed its name to the American Le Mans Series, and adopted the ACO's rulebook. The series ran until the start of the 2014 season when it merged with the Grand-Am series and became the United Sportscar Championship. There are still links to the ACO's rulebook but with some additional rules to cover local interests. There are four different classes in the series, featuring two sports prototype categories and two grand tourer classes.
The Daytona 24 hours is the longest event of the 12 race series, supplemented by a 12 hour event at Sebring in Florida and the 10 hour Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in Georgia, USA
European Le Mans Series - ELMS
Categories - LMP2, LMP3, GTE
The European Le Mans Series was launched in 2001 with a series of 5 races including the premier 1000km at Estoril and, to help kick-start the series, a couple of the races were shared with the American Le Mans Series. In 2003 the ACO took control of the series and renamed it to The Le Mans Endurance Series, before it became simply the Le Mans Series in 2006. The series was renamed once more in 2012 back to the European Le Mans Series and today consists of six 4 hour races around Europe.
Categories - LMP2, LMP3, CN, GT, GT Am
Finally, the Asian Le Mans Series is an Asian sports car racing endurance series created by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest with the aim to attract teams and drivers from Asian countries such as China and Japan. It is the successor to the now defunct Japan Le Mans Challenge which folded in 2007 after its second season. The relaunched Asian Le Mans series has very similar rules to the European Le Mans Series with a total of 5 classes.
So four major championships around the world, but how do they gain entry into the great race? This is how entrants to this year's race (2016) were chosen: -
Automatic entry invitations are earned by teams that won their class in the previous running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, or won championships in the European Le Mans Series or the Asian Le Mans Series. Some championship runners-up were also granted automatic invitations in certain series.
Two participants in the United Sportscar Championship are chosen by the series to be granted automatic entries by the ACO regardless of their performance.
All current FIA World Endurance Championship full-season entries automatically earn invitations.
As invitations are granted to teams, they are allowed to change their cars from the previous year to the next, but not allowed to change their category with only the following exceptions:-
In the European and Asian Le Mans Series, the LMGTE class invitations are allowed to choose between the Pro and Am categories.
European Le Mans Series' LMP3 champion is required to field an entry in LMP2
Asian Le Mans Series LMP3 champion may choose between LMP2 or LMGTE Am
European Le Mans Series GTE class champions are limited to the LMGTE Am category.
The remainder of the entry is based on applications from interested teams, who are judged for suitability by the sporting division of the ACO.
Makes perfect sense now, doesn't it!
iRacing 24 Hours of Le Mans 2019
With just a few hours to go until the start of this year's (virtual) 24 Hours of Le Mans, we talk to Mark Chorley, one of Pure Motorsports drivers in this year's race, who gives us an insight into the phenomenon that is iRacing…
Impressions from the opening rounds of the FIA 2017 WEC & ELMS season
StickeredUp4LeMans' man on the inside gives his thoughts from the opening rounds of FIA WEC & ELMS at Silverstone
Having spent 6 days last week watching and then officiating at both rounds of the championships at Silverstone, I am very pleased to report that despite the doom and gloom comments made at the end of last season regarding departures and changes, both championships opened their seasons with good, strong races.
Steve Tarrant takes a heartfelt look behind the scenes of Le Mans 2016
Glory, tragedy, despair, happiness, relief, exhaustion. As always, this race had them all, and it took all of the 24 hours to tell the story.
To come just 3 mins and 20 seconds away from their first win, after previously coming second, four times, Toyota must have dreamed they finally had it in the bag, only for it to turn into a nightmare. And one team's nightmare becomes another team surprise, with Porsche completing another lap and with it take the chequered flag of victory...


Daniel is a book worm, nerd, loner, and a nobody. Brayden is the perfect boy—good-looking, fit, athletic, and an all-round sports hero who's popular with everyone.
Brayden has a secret only his best friend knows.
Daniel has a crush on Brayden.
The trouble is, Brayden doesn't even know Daniel exists…until a huge and very important homework assignment is announced, and the two boys are paired together. Of course!
A secret and a crush are just the beginning for these two!

Expectations Traps and Monetary Policy with Limited Commitment
Himmels, Christoph and Kirsanova, Tatiana (2011): Expectations Traps and Monetary Policy with Limited Commitment.
We study the existence and uniqueness properties of monetary policy with limited commitment in LQ RE models. We use a New Keynesian model with debt accumulation in the spirit of Leeper (1991) as a `lab', because this model generates multiple equilibria under pure discretion, and under full commitment there are two distinct determinate regimes. We study how these properties change over the continuum of intermediate cases between commitment and discretion. We find that although multiple equilibria exist for high degrees of precommitment, even a small degree of precommitment selects a unique equilibrium for a wide range of parameters. We discuss the stability properties of policy equilibria which can be used to design an equilibrium selection criterion. We also demonstrate very different welfare implications for different policy equilibria.

Media Preview - Commonwealth & Holland Village Her...
Commonwealth & Holland Village Heritage Tour by My...
Friends of My Community
First post in 2016
I have been invited by Kwek Li Yong to the media preview of Commonwealth & Holland Village heritage tour on 20 March 2016. Before I pen down my experience, let me briefly introduce Li Yong and his heritage group My Community; and also put a blurb on their volunteer programme.
From their website,
My Community is a registered charity which documents social memory, celebrates civic life and champions community heritage. Every community in Singapore has stories to tell and we organise cultural and heritage activities to transform social spaces and ageing neighbourhoods.
The civic group is founded by Li Yong and Jasper Tan who are the group's President and Vice-President respectively, and have received accolades for its work in documenting, researching, education and advocacy of Queenstown's heritage. Fantastic work I'd say. You can read this to get an idea of what they are doing. By the way, Queenstown is the winner of NHB's Heritage Town Award 2014 which saw the collaboration of My Community, residents and the Queenstown Citizens' Consultative Committee (CCC). The inaugural award from NHB went to Joo Chiat in 2011.
Beside doing a lot of "groundwork", Li Yong and Jasper also did a lot of "blogwork". Prolific bloggers since 2009, they have been writing on Queenstown in the MyQueenstown portal. Like many other bloggers, to reach out to more people they have taken to Facebook and fully migrated in 2011. Their Facebook group is here. MyQueenstown portal is still online though the last post was in 2011.
If you are interested in community heritage, guiding tours, curating exhibitions or researching community history, you can join them as Friends of My Community as a volunteer. My Community is holding a recruitment exercise for new volunteers in 2016. At their Open House on 26 March 2016, volunteers will share experiences on guiding, curating, researching and events organizing. The actual boot camp workshop for volunteers to train them on basic oral history interviews, guiding and research techniques will be on 24 & 30 April 2016. See the poster below.
I'm glad to know the two young gentlemen passionate on community heritage have started this heritage group to tell more people on Queenstown, the first satellite town in Singapore among other firsts. While the focus is more on Queenstown at the moment, I'm given to understand from their mission statement that there may be similar activities conducted for other old housing estates.
