Adult obesity
Overweight and obesity in Minnesota adults:
Overweight and obesity measures displayed on this page are for adults age 18 and older living in Minnesota households. Weight status categories are determined using Body Mass Index (BMI), a number calculated using a person's weight and height. Determine which weight status category applies to you using CDC's BMI calculator.
Body Mass Index
|BMI (kg/m2)
|Weight status category
|below 18.5
|18.5 - 24.9
|25.0 - 29.9
|30 and above
BMI is not a direct measure of body fatness, but it provides a good estimate. BMI does not distinguish between muscle and fat. Some people such as athletes may be categorized as overweight even though they do not have too much body fat. Unless otherwise noted, differences described on this page are statistically significant.
Overweight and obesity in Minnesota
Obesity increased between 2000 and 2008 among Minnesota adults, but has been relatively stable in recent years. In 2017, more than 1 in 4 (28%) of adults in Minnesota were obese and more than 6 in 10 (65%) Minnesota adults were either overweight or obese. The proportion of obese adults has risen since 2011.
Overweight and obesity by age in Minnesota
Age and obesity are related for Minnesota adults. The youngest adults (18-24 years) are least likely to be obese or overweight, with 43% of adults in this age group appearing in either category. Obesity is highest among Minnesotans 45-64 years of age, with 33% of adults in this age group obese. In fact, 7 in 10 adults aged 45 years or older are either overweight or obese.
Overweight and obesity by race/ethnicity in Minnesota
For most of the race/ethnicity groups, more than 60% of adults are either overweight or obese. However, there are still race/ethnicity differences in the proportion of Minnesotans that are obese and overweight.
- Nearly 4 in 10 (39%) of Minnesota adults that identify as American Indian or Alaska Native were obese, which was much higher than most of the other race/ethnicity categories (except for Hispanic Minnesotans or Minnesotans that identify as multiracial).
- 8 in 10 (81%) of Minnesota adults that identify as multiracial were either overweight or obese, which was much higher than those that identify as white, black, Asian, or other race.
- Only 46% of Minnesota adults that identify as Asian were overweight or obese.
Overweight and obesity by gender in Minnesota
In Minnesota, higher proportions of adult men are overweight or obese, compared to women. A third of men (30%) are obese compared to a quarter of women (26%).
Overweight and obesity by income and education in Minnesota
Obesity affects Minnesotans of all income and education levels. For all household income groups, more than 60% of adults are either overweight or obese. Obesity is slightly less common among college graduates than other groups. Obesity is also slightly less common among Minnesota adults with the highest household income of $75,000 or more a year. However, overweight is slightly less common among those with the lowest household income less than $25,000 a year.

Some people like to think they know everything, and that often applies to estate planning. The problem is, they don't learn from their mistakes - their heirs do! By working with an estate planning attorney, you can avoid making these mistakes and spare your family the stress and expense.
The Hockessin (DE) Community News reports in a recent article, "The dumbest estate planning moves," that the misuse of joint ownership is extremely frequent.
You probably know that settling an estate without a will can be very time consuming and expensive. One way that people try to avoid probate is with property owned jointly with rights of survivorship. This is because the joint owner becomes the exclusive owner of that property when the other owner passes away. This is the case for a bank account or a family home.
Except for the 2-year child caregiver exception rule, many seniors say their joint owner, usually a son or a daughter will gladly share the account with their siblings after the parent passes. Yet, again, except for the Medicaid child caregiver exception, it is not always a guarantee that the joint owner will tell their siblings that's how their parents wanted it. Also, if the joint owner gets a divorce, is bankrupt, or is sued, the account may be lost even if the parent is alive.
More often than we'd like to believe, the result is that the other siblings may get a lot less than the parents wanted, or nothing at all. If the surviving owner does follow through with the parents' instructions and does truly square up with his brothers and sister, there may be other tax consequences since the process of squaring up may be considered a gift for tax purposes.
In real estate, there's a chance the remaining owner will be burdened with a low-cost basis. As a result, she will be hit with capital gains taxes, when later selling the asset. The parents' effort to simplify things may have actually caused a lifetime of family conflict.
Instead, except for Medicaid qualification, a way to avoid these troubles is with the use of a revocable living trust.
A real estate attorney can handle the title change. However, before you start dealing with the deed, sit down with an estate planning attorney. He or she will be able to explain how this may impact your tax liability and the conflict it may spark within the family. Even better, have a family meeting. Parents should meet with their estate planning attorney to get their affairs in order and to devise a plan for how assets will be divided up and how after death expenses will be paid. It also might be helpful to have family come together along with other professionals on your team. This Family Meeting is where these questions can be facilitated and find the best way to fit parents' estate plans into the lives of children and making sure parents' wishes are met.
To avoid estate planning mistakes, the best option is to create an estate plan, properly prepared with the help of an experienced estate planning attorney who offers an ongoing client care program and a family meeting as part of the process. This will guide the distribution of assets and prevent or at least mitigate the possibility of siblings battling over the estate.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The City of Pascagoula is taking the threat of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) very seriously and is following the guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The following information is to help protect the health and welfare of the general public. The City is encouraging everyone to voluntarily follow these guidelines and adhere to social distancing. The City of Pascagoula is committed to providing accurate and up-to-date information to help keep visitors and residents in the know as our community joins with the rest of the state, nation, and world to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This page will be updated as new information becomes available.
Please take a few minutes to hear from Mayor Steve Demetropoulos as he shares his thoughts on COVID-19.
04/01/2020 Mayor Demetropoulos Update
Mayor Steve Demetropoulos, a.k.a Dr. Steve, puts today's COVID-19 numbers into perspective and shares his messages as mayor, doctor, and fellow citizen.
State numbers have tripled since March 24. One week ago, Mississippi had 377 cases and 6 deaths. Last night, those numbers were 1,073 cases and 22 deaths.
Jackson County's numbers went from 13 cases with 0 deaths to today's numbers: 73 cases and the first death of a Jackson Countian.
As a mayor: restrictions had to be put in place. There are notably more local cases from friends and family transmission than from the workplace.
As a doctor: each one of us must continually do three things-
1. Reduce person-to-person contact. STAY HOME! DO NOT HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY OVER.
2. Stay 6 feet apart.
3. Wash your hands after touching surfaces, and do not touch your face.
As a citizen: we are all frustrated and anxious because there is so much disruption to our routines. We cannot, and will not, give up! We must maintain focus as we survive these challenges together.
03/30/2020 Mayor Demetropoulos Update
Mayor Demetropoulos gives us a COVID 101 review to remind us how the virus spreads (and doesn't spread).
Lesson 1- The Coronavirus is spread through mucus droplets from sneezing or coughing. Science tells us those droplets do not travel farther than six feet.
Lesson 2- Social grouping is limited to ten or fewer people because a group that size can stay six feet apart from each other.
Lesson 3- Mucus droplets will stay on surfaces for several days, though, so wash your hands before touching your face.
Lesson 4- It's healthy to go outside: bikeriding, walking, flying a kit. Just don't get closer than six feet.
Lesson 5- The virus is not airborne.
• reduce person-to-person contact.
• stay 6 feet apart.
• refrain from touching our faces, after touching a surface, until you've washed your hands with soap for 20 seconds.
03/27/2020 Mayor Demetropoulos Update
Mayor Demetropoulos explains the meaning behind the many numbers of COVID-19 in this latest update.
• As of Friday morning, March 27, 2020, Mississippi's COVID-19 death rate is twice the fatality rate for flu.
• Louisiana, especially New Orleans, is an epicenter of the virus, which puts the Mississippi Gulf Coast at a higher risk.
• Seniors, stay home.
• People with underlying health conditions, stay home.
• Everyone else stay six feet apart.
We must be patient and wise as we stay single-focused on reducing this illness.
03/22/2020 Mayor Demetropoulos Sunday Update on COVID-19
Mayor Demetropoulos covers three points in his Sunday update:
- The math and science behind the decision to require restaurants to go to curbside delivery only includes a note of caution to our citizens younger than 50 years old.
- Caregivers need to care for themselves.
- Show mercy and be able to receive mercy during these trying times.
03/19/2020 Mayor Demetropoulos Discusses COVID-19 and Your Mental Health
Mayor Steve Demetropoulos lays out some steps and provides some resources to help you with stress and anxiety you may be experiencing related to COVID-19.
Helpful ideas to regain a sense of normalcy during abnormal times:
- Plan your day. Pick something to do, such as work in the yard, read a book, complete a task.
- Exercise and get some sunlight. Taking a walk accomplishes both.
- Don't disrupt your sleep pattern. Keep a regular schedule for going to sleep and waking up each day.
- Don't binge watch television shows.
- Find some acts of kindness to focus on others. Call two people each day to see how they are and to catch up.
- If you are a person of faith, praying and reading your Bible can bring peace.
Two mental health resources:
- Disaster Distress line: 800-985-5990
- Gulf Coast Family Counseling Agency is a United Way funded agency in Ocean Springs and Pascagoula. Call 875-6113.

Mayor Steve Demetropoulos discusses the new coast cases of COVID-19, in Jackson County, as well as the testing criteria.
03/17/2020 Mayor Demetropoulos's COVID-19 Update on Testing & When To Go To The Hospital
Mayor Steve Demetropoulos explains COVID-19 testing protocol and when to go to the hospital for medical help.

The vice president Uganda Local government Association ULGA who also doubles as chair person Gulu District Martin Mapenduzi Ojara has urged government to slow down on the creation of new districts since it's objective shall not be achieved.
Currently the country has about 117 districts but by 2019,they shall have reached 124 because some new districts were approved though some are not yet effective.
Mapenduzi says local governments don't have enough revenue and only receive 12%from the Central government which cannot finance all the projects the districts have to implement.
Mapenduzi was speaking in a dialogue organised by Civil societies at makerere university to review the performance of local governments.

The 90m/295ft luxury yacht NERO is ready for charter in the Caribbean and Bahamas this winter season and guests are treated to an alfresco cinema on the upper deck, a swimming pool and an excellent variety of water toys for making memorable moments with family and friends.
Built-in 2007 by Corsair Yachts and last refitted in 2015, her lavish interiors and exteriors are the work of Neil Taylor. At the World Superyacht Awards 2009, she was a finalist for Best Displacement Motor Yacht of 1,300GT to 2,999GT (approximately 60m – 84m).
Make a lasting impression within the uniquely styled interiors, where pale oak and ash panelling emphasises the grand 12m/39ft beam main salon. Soft blue furnishings create cool and inviting sitting areas for guests to converse in style, before heading to the formal dining area for a delicious three-course meal with a great company in unforgettable surroundings.
Take a swim in the beautiful pool on the foredeck and lie out in the sunshine with refreshments from the bar. As an alternative place to dine, the main deck aft hosts a large alfresco dining table just as stunning as the interior setting, with the added benefit of sunset views and fresh air. After a meal, settle into the cosy library for a nightcap among friends and family.
The skylounge aboard M/Y NERO is just as stunning as the main salon and the skylights enhance the atmospheric interior, where guests can sit and watch the latest sports while savouring a drink from the bar. At night, the lighting can create a muted atmosphere for laid-back conversation or a film as a family before bedtime.
Outside, the upper deck aft provides for all-day lounging with shaded alfresco dining and alfresco seating surrounded by the beautiful islands of Barbados or St Vincent and the Grenadines.
The spectacular sundeck will be an instant hit with everyone on board, with the generous Jacuzzi to the stern and its surrounding sunpads creating the perfect relaxation space. From the mid-section to the bow, guests have a choice of seating for unwinding in the sunshine and enjoying the spectacular views.
Superyacht NERO is an Approved RYA Water Sports Centre and comes with plenty of water toys:
- 5 x jet skis
- 2 x Waverunners
- 2 x Seabobs
- 2 x canoes

Young Cambodians line up for a taste of Indian naval cooking. "It's spicier than Cambodian food."
Deep in the bowels of a 22-year-old Russianbuilt naval destroyer lives a team of
25 professional chefs producing exquisite Indian food. Welcome to the INS Rana, a
major combat platform of the Indian Navy, where the chicken tandoori is as impressive
as the torpedoes.
"If you have good food on board, morale will be good," said Lieutenant
Kapil Verma. "An army marches on its stomach - this is why we lay so much emphasis
on preparing excellent meals."
And good food serves as a common bond for a religiously diverse crew. Hindus, Muslims
and Sikhs make up the 350 sailors and 40 officers required to run INS Rana, but the
different dietary requirements of the faiths are catered to only insofar as vegetarian
food is available.
"We don't have a menu on the ship," said Verma. "Hindu, Muslim, and
Sikh all eat together; one day we eat their food, one day they eat ours."
INS Rana left India on May 20 on a goodwill mission in the South China Sea and docked
in Sihanoukville on June 15 for a four-day visit. The Post was invited to inspect
the 146-meter-long destroyer class ship's impressive array of weaponry and sample
an excellent aloo gobi (potato-cauliflower curry).
Capable of sailing 3,000 nautical miles (5,500 km) before refuelling and fully geared
to face any nuclear, biological and chemical threats at sea, INS Rana is part of
the Indian Navy's Eastern fleet. India has two fleets - East and West - each of which
looks after half of the 7,000 km of India's coastline.
Following a tour of the ship, a mixed crowd of Indian ex-pats and Cambodian nationals
shoehorned themselves into a tiny cabin for an extravagant meal: boondi raitha, aloo
gobi charman, navratan khorma, paneer tandoori, chicken tandoori were served up with
peas pulau and rumali roti.
"You can cook anything on board and our chefs have proper training at Indian
Naval institutes to make sure there is good food," said Captain Sanjeev Ghai,
of INS Jyoti, the refuelling tanker travelling with INS Rana. "If you want to
win someone's heart go through their stomach!"
The Cambodian visitors were convinced.
"I have never eaten Indian food before; it tastes very different from Khmer
food but it is still good," said Vanny, 19. "It is spicier than Cambodian
Supplies of dried goods - rice, chapatti flour, spices - are carried on board from
India. Rice is served every lunch; the INS Rana uses approximately 50 kg of rice
per day. Fresh goods - vegetables, fish, meat - are purchased in the ports at which
the ship docks.
INS Rana first docked in Sihanoukville in 2003 as part of an earlier goodwill tour
of the region. This followed two visits to Cambodia in 2002 by the Indian prime minister
of the time, Atal Behari Vajpayee.
"The only time an Indian prime minister has ever visited a country twice in
one year was to Cambodia," said Subramanyam Ravi, First Secretary at the Indian
Embassy. "He came once for an action summit, once for a bilateral visit."
Other countries dock foreign warships in Sihanoukville as part of their own goodwill
tours, Ravy said.
"Every country - including the USA, Great Britain - send ships on goodwill visits,"
he said. "This kind of visit is just to build friendship, but it can generate
INS Rana, built in 1982 at the height of the Cold War, has undergone standard adaptations
for use by the Indian Navy - such as the installation of Indian-made operational
"As far as naval warfare goes, all navies use the same kind of weaponry,"
said Signal Communication Officer Dharmendra Suhag. "It is not so difficult
to adapt a ship made in a different country."
And even the kitchens that create the magnificent feasts are standard navy issue.
There are no special tandoori ovens - the smoke would be difficult to vent safely
- but the INS Rana is equipped with a large electrical oven to make tandoori dishes
and special hot plates for cooking chapatti bread.
"You lose the charcoal flavor," said Verma. "But you do get the overall
feel of the dish."
INS Rana does not have any women on board. Although the Indian Navy has begun introducing
female sailors and officers into the ranks, it is a process that has to be carefully
worked out to avoid running into problems, Verma said.
"There are various issues with any navy having women on board ships. You need
separate toilets, accommodation," he said. "We don't have the facilities
for them."
India's rich diversity is reflected in more than the multiple faiths. More than 18
languages are spoken on board the ship. But the primary languages of communication
- Hindi and English - are spoken by all officers and crew.

Project Description
Sparks Sea Serpent Tableau
(1) The Sea Serpent tableau originated on the John F. Sparks Shows in 1913. In 1910, Sparks traveled on nine cars, 1 advance, 2 stocks, 4 flats, and 2 sleepers. The wagon was built by H.L. Witt & Sons out of Morristown, Tennessee and was built at the same time as the Twin Statues Tableau and one other one for the Sparks Circus. It was used for parade purposes and in 1922 served as the show's ticket wagon. The current restoration at Circus World Museum as a red body and gold carvings is to represent the way it looked in a 1917 photograph taken on the Sparks Circus.
(2009 – Bob Cline photo)
(2) The wagon was sold to Floyd and Howard King in the winter of 1924-25 and in 1925 it was used on the King Brothers' Walter L. Main Circus. In 1926 and 1927 it was on the King's 10 car circus titled Gentry Bros. Circus, and in 1928 was on their Walter L. Main Circus. The 1928 Main show was called Cole Bros. in 1929 and 1930. The wagon was on the Cole show when it went broke Aug. 30, 1930 at Scottsville, Ky. The entire show's equipment was soon acquired by H. C. Ingraham and Bert Rutherford who had planned a big railroad circus to tour in 1931 to be called the Ingraham and Rutherford Circus. The equipment was moved to Peoria, Ill. to frame the show, but further litigation came up and the Venice Transportation Co. of St. Louis, Mo. ended up with the property.
(1929 – Joseph Bradbury Album # 6, photo # 7C – Billy Dick collection)
About 1938 the Sea Serpent tableau along with the other Cole 1930 property was sold to G. W. Christy and moved to his quarters in South Houston, Texas. Christy never did follow out the rumors that he was returning to the road with a railroad show. No doubt the big 1938 recession that cut the country's five railroad circuses down to two in a single season and knocked off some of the leaders of the motorized field, had something to do with Christy's decision not to go out. For several years he advertised the property for sale as a unit.
(1949-1950 – Joseph Bradbury Album # 26 – photo # 44C – at Chicago Railroads Fair)
It is not entirely clear as to when the wagon was repainted white but several changes occurred. The skyboard became a flat topped straight skyboard. The carvings disappeared from the Skyboard. The wagon carvings were painted silver. A carnival in Iowa purchased the Sea Serpent wagon, along with two other tableaus about 1947, but soon sold them to the Chicago Railroad Fair of 1949-50 where they were displayed. For many years there was a movement within the Circus Historical Society to purchase the wagons or at least lead them into a good permanent home, It seemed at one time that the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago would get them but that fell through. Then about 1953 they were acquired and sent to the Dover, Ohio fairgrounds to be used for display and ballyhoo purposes by the local Boy Scout council. They are looked after under the watchful eyes of good fans and CHS members, Bob and Norman Senhauser.
(1953 – Joseph Bradbury Album # 15 – photo # 52A – September 1953 at the Tuscarawus County Fairgrounds in Dover, Ohio)
In 1964, Norm and Bob Senhauser sold this wagon to the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Co. who in turn donated it to the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. It was first used in the 1965 Old Milwaukee Days parade.
(1965 – Richard Cline photo)
The wagon is 13'2″ long x 10′ feet tall x 7'11" wide. It weighs three tons and was numbered 33. In 2009, the wagon was restored back to the 1917 red and gold look while on the Sparks Circus.

John Jenkins August 10
As a publisher and editor I have been answering queries from writers for something like 20 years and as a result I have recently published a book FAQs and the Answers for Ambitious Writers.
What are the odds on you backing the Booker winner?
By John Jenkins
Certain factors govern the year in Britain, Christmas and Easter, Wimbledon, the Derby and Royal Ascot. The first cuckoo heralds spring and when you see two swallows summer is here.
But autumn is surely in the offing in the literary world when the bookies begin offering odds on the longlist for the Booker Prize. Despite the PR efforts of the new sponsors, to make it the Man Booker etc it's known to us scribes merely as the Booker.
Assuming you are a writer and reader of some judgement it should be easy for you to pick up a few quid by backing two or three at what we punters know as ante post.
Here's the runners and riders. (Sorry, I mean books and authors).
Favourite is The Long Song by Andrea Levy. Her story is set against the backdrop of the 1831 slave rebellion in Jamaica.
Close behind at 9 – 2 is The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell. His tale concerns a Dutch book-keeper who falls in love with a Japanese midwife in 18th century Japan.
No surprises to find the elegant Helen Dunmore with The Betrayal at 5 - 1. Her novel concerns a young couple living in Leningrad in the 1950s. Seems an odd setting but any totalitarian state would do.
Next up is that accomplished novelist Rose Tremain with Trespass at 6 – 1. This is her 11th novel and it is set in the south of France where siblings quarrel over the sale of an old farmhouse. It's a sort of cross between A Year in Provence and a mystery for Morse.
Two times former winner Peter Carey is at 7 – 1 with his quirky offering: Parrot and Olivier in America, followed by Skippy Dies by Paul Murray and The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson at 8 - 1.
Other authors on the longlist include Emma Donoghue, Tom McCarthy, Alan Warner, Damon Galgut, Lisa Moore, and Christos Tsiolkas.
The wonder is, who sits down in the bookies' office and reads all these and makes a valued judgement to come up with the odds? The answer is nobody. They merely ring up a few literary editors and figures in publishing and ask for views.
As the first prize is worth £50,000 to the winner the participants take more than a passing interest in the charade.
The judges are: Sir Andrew MotionEnglish poet, novelist and biographer; Poet Laureate of United Kingdom from 1999 to 2009; during his laureateship founded the Poetry Archive, an online resource of poems and audio recordings of poets reading their own work, chairman, Rosie Blau who writes for the Financial Times, Deborah Bull who was a dancer with the Royal Ballet, Tom Sutcliffe who writes for the Independent and Frances Wilson.
Frances Wilson, who lectured on Eng Lit for 15 years and has written half a dozen decent books is probably the best writer of the bunch whose literary output has so far not set the world on fire.
As a student of literary form you will try to anticipate the judges' choice.
Will they go for the popular, humorous novel? Will they go for political correctness? Or perhaps for literary merit? There again, will they choose originality? Are we going to get a choice to delight literary luvvies, the beards and sandals brigade, the twinset and pearls buyers or the ordinary Joe who likes a good read?
If it's the politically correct lobby's turn for a winner Andrea Levy is home and dry.
Remember Motion's Gang of Four have already discarded Ian McEwan, Salman Rushdie, Yann Martell and Roddy Doyle – all previous winners.
Now that doesn't fill me with confidence and when I look at past winners I shudder at some of the choices.
Of course, there is always the log-rolling factor. For those of you who do not read Private Eye, let me explain.
Let's suppose I have written a book long listed for the Booker. I ring you, my friend, who I know is going to write a feature for one of the heavies on "Books to read on Holiday." Mine will get a generous mention. And perhaps next year I'll return the favour for him, or his girl friend, or another pal who shares the same agent.
Then I might release a paragraph or two to say two companies are said to be bidding for the film rights, or that one of the chapters was written by my 15-year-old grand daughter. More headlines, more publicity, more sales and subtle pressure on the judges.
Can I get it picked up for one of the radio or television programmes on books? Perhaps I could even be interviewed by Mark Lawson on radio? Gasp, gosh, glass of water please. Perhaps Alistair Campbell or Max Clifford could fix it for me. Unfortunately I don't know either of them.
Perhaps my publisher could be persuaded to pay £35,000 to one of the book chains to have my book named 'Manager's Choice of the Month' and raise the profile even higher.
I remember one pompous author – amazingly shortlisted for the Booker many years ago – told a festival at Caerleon that it cost £100,000 to win the Booker. I suspect he made up that figure to excuse the fact that he did not win. But certainly some publishers will add their financial muscle in the hope of having a winner.
For me, there will be a modest wager on Howard Jacobson. He writes with great style, makes me laugh and wears his ability without affectation. Rose Tremain is another author who combines style with entertainment, probably more than anyone else on the short ist. I think I will read both books first and then plunge my tenner on one of them.
Of course, it is up to you how you back your judgement. So where should your money go?
The last time I had a bet on the Booker I put a tenner on William Trevor, easily the class act in a field of donkeys. I got 20 – 1 and felt very smug.
Well, Trevor didn't win, which shows not only how a fool and his money are soon parted but how lucky they are to get together in the first place.
It also showed how little I know about it. And, in my far from humble opinion, it also shows how little the judges knew about that list of Booker finalists.
Anyway, read for pleasure and leave gambling well alone.

An exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is a sea zone prescribed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea more than which a state has unique rights concerning the exploration and use of marine sources, like energy production from water and wind.
The distinction amongst the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone is that the 1st confers complete sovereignty more than the waters, whereas the second is merely a sovereign right" which refers to the coastal state's rights beneath the surface of the sea.

Derek Blasberg Celebrates Success of YouTube Series with His Celeb Friends!
Derek Blasberg poses for a fun photo with his friend Kate Hudson while celebrating #movingLOVE, a series of films from YouTube and LOVE Magazine, on Sunday night (March 17) at the San Vicente Bungalows in Los Angeles.
The event was held after the series was recognized at the Daily Front Row's Fifth Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards. The party continued at the event hosted by Derek, who is the Head of Fashion and Beauty at YouTube, and Katie Grand from LOVE Magazine.
Attendees included Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jaime King, Rachel Zoe, Joan Smalls, Rowan Blanchard, Bria Vinaite, Gia Coppola, Jacqui Getty, Kelly Sawyer, and YouTube star James Charles.
"Last year, Katie Grand and I launched a "moving image magazine" exclusively on @YouTube. The result: 54 videos with more than 15 million views and, all calculated, more than 24 million minutes of watch time. That works out to 44 years. That would be like if Bradley Cooper was born and then spent his entire life just watching this series," Derek wrote on his Instagram account.
He added, "Thank you to @thelovemagazine for making it all happen, @dailyfrontrow for giving me and @kegrand the Creatives of the Year award last night, and the legendary @courtneylove for presenting it to us. It's an incredible opportunity to close the gap between the world of fashion and the YouTube universe, and we're having a ball doing it!"

Australia's Human Rights Commission says the country's detention centres are becoming more like prisons and conditions are getting worse.
Edward Santow, the Australian Human Rights Commissioner, said there are concerns about the detention centres.
"Australia's immigration detention centres have become more and more like prisons. They're much more restrictive, much harsher and we're concerned about the human rights implications of that," he said.
- Two-year-old girl in Australian immigration detention centre denied birthday cake
- Man on Manus Island allegedly sets himself on fire
- Dramatic increase in Manus Island suicide attempts
But detainees at Sydney's Villawood Detention Centres say in one way, it's worse than jail.
"People that go to prison, they get a time they've gotta serve, and at the end, they get released. But in here, there's no time," said Helder Carrascalao.
There are 142 New Zealanders being held in Australia appealing deportation, including a 21-year-old Kiwi who fears if he's named, it will hurt his case.
"I feel I've missed out all my prime years," he said.
A federal court found he'd be unsafe in New Zealand. But as he waits for a hearing he's still in detention - where he's been for the past 18 months.
"It's designed for us to fail so we just give up and say 'this is too long', so we just sign and go back home."
In some shared cells in Melbourne, the toilet is also a sink. While there are also allegations of excessive use of force by guards.
The average stay in detention is 500 days compared to less than two months in Canada and the United Kingdom.
"Our concern is with Australia detaining people for much longer than other liberal democracies we're not in compliance with that law," said Santow.
The commission believes there is an alternative - releasing those appealing against deportation into community detention instead.
"I think the Human Rights Commission is absolutely 100 percent spot on. These people don't need to be placed in detention for Australia to go through the immigration process with them," said Filipa Payne from group Iwi n Aus.
But at least in the short term, there's very little change expected to occur behind the detention centre fences.
The Human Rights Commission made 34 recommendations to Australia's Department of Home Affairs. Almost all were rejected or ignored.

Research in the E.D is continuously growing; allowing more and more patients to take part in different studies that ultimately improve patient outcomes.
The research recruitment team consists of our consultants, some of whom are Principle Investigators on trials within the department and also those that are multi-departmental and work across many areas within the hospital. We have a full-time research nurse as well as a part-time military research nurse who are involved in all of the ongoing studies.
Due to all of our Consultants and Registrars being GCP (Good Clinical Practice) trained and the efficient and tireless team working from all nursing and medical staff within the department, the Emergency Department is able to constantly recruit into ongoing trials. This enables us to capture a wide range of patients to study and improve patient outcomes.
The Emergency Department at Queen Alexandra Hospital is one of the busiest in the UK treating in excess of 132,000 patients each year. The department assesses and treats patients with serious injuries or illnesses and life-threatening emergencies such as
Loss of consciousness;
Acute confused state and fits that are not stopping;
Persistent, severe chest pain;
Breathing difficulties;
Severe bleeding that cannot be stopped; and many, many more.
The Emergency Departments Research Team is not about 1 or 2 people but the whole department. It is because of this constant willingness to achieve a better future for our patients that we all work so hard as a team, which allows us to recruit the number of patients that we do. We are above our target recruitment for many of the studies we are taking part in.
14 Consultants;
11 Registrars;
junior doctors;
emergency nurse practitioners;
146 members of nursing staff;

Early lifeEdit
James Fox was born in London, England to theatrical agent Robin Fox and actress Angela Worthington. He is the brother of actor Edward Fox and film producer Robert Fox. The actress Emilia Fox is his niece and the actor Laurence Fox is his son. His grandfather was playwright Frederick Lonsdale. Like his brother, Fox served with the Coldstream Guards. Like several members of the Fox family, including his brothers and his son, James was educated at Harrow.
Acting careerEdit
James Fox first appeared on film in The Miniver Story in 1950. His other early film appearances were made under the name William Fox.
During the 1960s he gained popularity and appeared to be heading for stardom. In 1964, he won a BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer in The Servant (1963).[1] His roles in films such as Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965), King Rat (1965), The Chase (1966), Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967), Isadora (1968) and Performance (1970) (alongside Mick Jagger), as well as his relationship with actress Sarah Miles, had made him a media personality.
Spiritual life and break from actingEdit
After finishing work on Performance, and following his father's death, Fox suspended his acting career. The strain of filming, his father's death and smoking the hallucinogen DMT led to a nervous breakdown.[2] On his break from acting, Fox has commented that "people think Performance blew my mind... my mind was blown long before that."[2]
He has also said that: "Performance gave me doubts about my way of life. Before that I had been completely involved in the more bawdy side of the film business. But after that everything changed.'[2]
In a 2008 interview, he said: "It was just part of my journey...I think my journey was to spend a while away from acting. And I never lost contact with it - watching movies, reading about it ... so I didn't feel I missed it."[3]
He became an evangelical Christian, working with The Navigators and devoting himself to the ministry.[4] During this time, the only film in which Fox appeared was No Longer Alone (1978), the story of a suicidal woman saved by Christianity.
Return to actingEdit
After an absence of almost 10 years from mainstream cinema, Fox gradually returned to the screen, appearing in A Passage to India (1984) and playing Anthony Blunt in the acclaimed BBC play by Alan Bennett, A Question of Attribution (1992). He also portrayed the character of Colonel Ferguson in Farewell to the King.
More recently, he has appeared in the 2001 adaption of The Lost World as Prof. Leo Summerlee, Agatha Christie's Poirot - Death on the Nile (2004) as Colonel Race and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) playing Mr. Salt, Veruca Salt's father. He appeared in the Doctor Who audio drama Shada, and in 2007, he guest-starred in the British television crime series Waking the Dead. He also appeared opposite his son, Laurence Fox in "Allegory of Love," an episode in the third season of Lewis. He was part of the cast of Sherlock Holmes, as Sir Thomas, leading member of a freemason-like secret society.
In 2010, he filmed Cleanskin, a terrorist thriller directed by Hadi Hajaig.[5]; and in 2011 he played King George V in Madonna's film "W.E.
Personal lifeEdit
In the 1960s, Fox had a relationship with actress Sarah Miles.[2] James Fox has five children with his wife Mary Elizabeth Piper, whom he married in 1973.[2] He is the father of Laurence Fox, as well as three other sons and one daughter, Lydia Fox. Both Laurence and Lydia were married to fellow actors in 2007, making James the father-in-law of both Richard Ayoade and Billie Piper. He is also grandfather to Laurence's two sons with Piper.

Network Effects – Midterm – Design and Implement a Network
The general idea of my midterm is to implement a network of parking referrals for residents to swap parking spots on the street with each other and perhaps develop relationships and get to know each other a bit more.
The nodes in my network are everyone living in my building with some non-residents included in the interaction, such as building staff and perhaps visitors of residents. The primary or most important nodes are going to be the doormen, as trusted connectors to the otherwise unconnected residents these staff see everyone coming and going. Located at the doors on street level they also see a lot of what is going on in the neighborhood including people coming and going from their parking spots. The job of a doorman is not to just to open the door but to help the residents by receiving packages, helping load and uload cars, help children get safely to school buses etc. The secondary nodes are all of the residents. We have 21 floors of people that come and go constantly, many with cars that need to be parked on the street. The residents are usually disconnected and seem to like it that way. The makeup of the building of a mixture of owners(or shareholders in the coop) and renters, the ratio is approximately 60/40. I don't know for sure, but I suspect from casual conversation that a higher number of people who own their apartments also own a car. Of those that park their cars on the street it seems that a higher percentage of the people I talk to are renters. The challenge with the nodes will be getting people in a coop to interact that normally keep to themselves.
The protocols for arranging connections in this experiment grow naturally out of the way we all think of each other in the building. Addressing is how you might think of each other and how the doormen keep track of everyone. Residents are identified by first name and then apartment number. (i.e. john/4e) personnel by first name and title/function in building. Transmission of content or the information as to when and where a parking spot is located is handled by the doormen. To give you an ideal of the flow and to explain the drawing below, here is how the system would work. I have given the doormen a stack of bright green index cards with the following copy:
"I will be: , I might be: (circle one) Leaving my parking spot at _____am ______pm on
m t w th f Sat Sun (circle one) Name__________________ "
The cards are kept on the table that the doorman uses to keep the sign-in sheet and other notices and administrative documents. The bright green is meant to be a visual reminder of availability of a parking spot, so the doorman has instructions to put out a green card when a spot becomes available. If "John" knows that he will (or might be) leaving at 12pm on Wednesday, then he fills out a card and it sits on the desk. Residents would learn of it's existence through the doorman and hopefully through each other as it becomes successful.
If a resident sees a card or speaks to the doorman and learns of the spot, then the doorman marks a check on the card with the interested parties name. Information that the spot has a "taker" is passed back to "John" who then knows to pay attention when he gets ready to leave so that he might look for "Susan". The doorman helps identify whether Susan is moving her car or if she is coming in from somewhere, the doorman also has information from the card about the make and color of the car. So transmission of the actual parking spot is through the primary nodes, with information about the networks existence through the secondary nodes.
Predictions: The principal activities of people who park on the street are one of two activities. The first is simply coming from or going to somewhere and needing a spot close to home that will be good for at least one day until 9am the following day, or preferably several days. This leads to another behavior of on the street parking and that is the alternate side switching ritual where to avoid the street sweeper and the more importantly tickets from parking enforcement people keep track of the days they need to move and move their cars to the other side. I anticipate that this activity of moving will account for as much of the networks traffic as anything else.
My success goals would be within one week to have 8 referrals and at least 2 successful parking spots. I feel that the culture of the building might be sort of reluctant to associate with each other in this sort of arrangement. I do feel there will be many questions and I hope that the doormen and super will be helpful in getting the word out.
Post mortem:
OK, now that the network has run I can describe what I observed and what kind of success I had in implementing what I wanted to do with this. In the beginning I picked to people that I considered sort of super-nodes, the connected of the connected in our building. All of the residents, my self included depend heavily on these personnel who keep the building running. The doorman and the super were involved in my project and I depended heavily on them to help run it. These super nodes were also critical points of failure if they didn't perform the tasks that were required.
In the first few days that the project ran I observed a fair amount of interest in the cards. Quite a few people noticed them and asked what they were. The doorman explaned the idea to them and asked if they were interested in participating, many said they were and that it was a good idea. A few people asked me about it and I also explained how it was to work and what I was trying to do. After the first day there were not cards filled out, however the doorman received several possible notifications. To explain further, he said many people said they might be leaving but that they didn't want to fill out the card until they were sure. On the second day of the project I ran into Louise, a woman on the second floor who I observed parking along with me during the alternate side ritual. We had never spoken, but this time she brought up the cards in passing and said that she would fill one out, she later went back and did this. I arranged to switch my car to the other side of the street due to that exchange. By the second night another card was filled out to exchange a spot with one of the doormen leaving his shift at 11pm. The interesting thing in this network was that the doormen were connected in this sort of arrangement already, most of them travel by car to queens or the Bronx and swap places among themselves. The doorman was most helpful in running the experiment was the day man Joel, he had already been formally tipping me off on where to park and when people might be going. The cards in general had tepid response at best, I had an expectation that more might be filled out at least, then I thought the success rate of connection would be lower due to people not connecting at the right time.
By the third day the referrals stood at the following:
Actual connections:
I got a spot from Louise in 2c
Louise (2c) later got a spot from John /building personnel
John in 20h got a spot from me.
Cards filled out
I think that my idea of the doormen as super-nodes was flawed not because of the fact that they weren't in touch with everyone, but that they were inhibited in getting the word out. When I talked to Joel I asked him if he had the cards out he said yes, but that he felt reluctant to actually talk about their existence. When pressed further he seemed uncomfortable so I didn't pursue it. I think that Jane Jacobs point on the sidewalk connectors was that they performed a duty based on implicit trust and disression. The idea of privacy comes into discression and that is were it all broke down I think. I am guessing, but the existence of the cards became a piece of information on how people were coming and going. Also, parking on the street may not be something that certain people are comfortable broadcasting. There may be a financial class system where some people might not want to admit that they couldn't afford to garage their car. If I redesigned the system, I might work on something that was more of a back channel that didn't involve the doormen. Also, the doormen already had their own network and that might have involved a certain conflict of interest.

here is another mix of what I've been listening to, this time from october 24 to november 2nd. It's all Merchant Ships and people connected to the band. Slurred Terms might be a strech for inclusion here but the dude was in William Bonney which had dudes from merchant ships in. Things start off very screamy and get much much emoier by the time we're through.
We get things started with a pair of tracks by Merchant Ships, one an untitled demo from an untitled album and one from an ep called I Want To Forget Everything Bad That Ever Happened Ever
Then things get a lot calmer for a moment with Midwest Pen Pals with tracks from their only ep Inside jokes. I think this was a transition band between Merchant Ships and Park Jefferson
My Head In Clouds play a rather standard, emotional hardcore based screamo on their Demo! I'm not sure if there were people from Merchant Ships on this, but people in this band are now in Park Jefferson.
We get back to the originals in this mix, Merchant Ships for a bunch of songs from Bummer Times Demo, Extra Songs, For Cameron & Shipsography.tr
Things get much more emo and occasionally acoustic with Park Jefferson which is where Nick Stutsman is currently writing songs. He's one of my favourite five new lyricists right now. There are tracks from their Acoustic EP, Childhood, Demo, Better Boy.
Things get louder again with a great screamo band who may or may not be dead, William Bonney. These tracks are from their Fall Demo. More from then later.
Things get really emo and almost completely acoustic with a bunch of songs from Nick Stutsman. Dude is really prolific and has done splits with some really cool people. These are songs from a split with Slurred Terms, more of them in just a bit, a split with Cameron Boucher, singer of Old Gray who are awesome, from an split with Scott Switzer called Whatever, Forever.
We return to Park Jefferson for some emo with some solid bands behind them. Some tracks from their split with Bicycle Sunday and a track from their new album Weekdays.
Things get acoustic with a one man acoustic project called Slurred Terms. Dude was/is in William Bonney depending if they broke up or on hiatus. These are songs from EP's called Home Is Home & Total Strangers
We end things on a wild and screamy not with the latest from one of my modern favourite bands (maybe RIP) William Bonney. They just keep getting better, these songs are the best they've done but they did lost a littel bit of their personalities. These tracks are from a split with Droughts

KTB Music Lunchtime Recital, Thursday 8th September, 2016
By KTB Music, Sep 9 2016 01:01PM
The afternoon began with a short but pleasant duet from Olivia Cooper and Katy Bradley, both playing flute. This first duet was a dance called Menuett, (German for Minuet) written by Haydn-Barge, and was a popular French rustic dance adapted by the courts in the 17th Century. The dance itself is characteristically made up of small, dainty steps which is where it gained the name Menuett.
This was followed by Katy Bradley playing the four movements of Bach's Partita in A minor which has become a popular piece in modern performance repertoire. Each movement represents a different style. The Allemande represents the German style, (the Allemande is a German dance by name) and the Corrente represents the Italian style. The Sarabande reveals a French style whereas the Bourrée Angloise gestures towards the English style.
Next it was Olivia Cooper's turn, but this time she took to the piano where she moved ably through the first movement of Beethoven's Sonata in G (Op. 14 No. 2). Published in Vienna in 1799, the Sonata in G is dedicated to Baroness Josephine von Braun who was a fine pianist and music lover at a time when Beethoven was in great demand as both pianist and teacher. The mood of this piano sonata is upbeat and light-hearted; it has been described as "a glorious little comedy".
Katy Bradley then played Comical Flute, one of Alan Bullard's solo study pieces for flute. Bullard's writing takes influence from an array of places: the complex harmonies and rhythms of jazz, the repeated figurations of minimalism, the shapely melodies of popular and folk-music: all of these have contributed to a musical style which is a unique blend of harmonic richness, rhythmic drive, imagination and sensitivity.
Following this was a stunning twist in the programme, in the form of the music from the film Titanic. Olivia Cooper performed Rose's Theme beautifully, which is written for Kate Winslet's character, Rose, whose fiery character is represented in the rousing shift to the minor key. This theme is also sung by Celine Dion in the main theme tune from the film Titanic, My Heart Will Go On.
Next there were two lighter pieces, again performed by Olivia Cooper on the flute and accompanied by Katy Bradley on the piano. The first, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, is a jazz standard that has been covered by many of the 20th and 21st Centuries top musicians and vocalists. It has been featured in many films over the years, but was originally written for the 1933 Broadway show, Roberta. The second, Keep Young And Beautiful, was a bouncy response to the sultry tones of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. Keep Young and Beautiful was one of Winston Churchill's favourite songs; its cheeky pulse and dotted rhythms can pick you up on the bluest of days.
The recital was rounded off by a lively performance of the first duet from Johann Quantz's Six Duets For Two Flutes. Taken from his Opus 2, Six Duets For Two Flutes is just one of the hundreds of compositions in Quantz's catalogue. He was one of the first professional flautists in 18th Century Europe, and was also a prolific flute maker.
Overall, a grand afternoon was had by all, and the two performers succeeded in creating a lively, bouncy atmosphere or a mellow, thoughtful ambiance for our audience.
