Judge rules Hillsborough toddler must get chemo within next 28 days
Posted: May 8, 2019 / 04:39 PM EDT / Updated: May 8, 2019 / 11:14 PM EDT
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – The decision is in when it comes to a Tampa toddler receiving chemotherapy treatment while he battles leukemia.
A Hillsborough County judge ruled on Wednesday that 3-year-old Noah McAdams must undergo chemo as he continues to fight a recent cancer diagnosis.
The child's parents were hoping for a more organic approach to treatment, one that includes medical-grade cannabis, vitamins and a strict diet.
While the judge ruled that alternative treatments are permissible, the primary course of action, she said, must include chemotherapy within the next 28 days.
As Noah's parents left the courthouse in downtown Tampa after Wednedsay's ruling, they described the judge's decision as, "disappointing."
The toddler's mother, Taylor Bland-Ball, told WFLA, "I feel like it's definitely increased my fight, my strength and ultimately, my forgiveness, because having to look at these people who have no regards for my son is difficult."
The child's father described how painful this has been and explained how his heart felt Wednesday.
"It's dropped, and it's picking back up, and it's still pumping blood. I love my son, and I'm going to be there for him," said Joshua McAdams.
The couple maintains they just want what's best for their little boy.
As Noah fights leukemia, his parents have been fighting the system.
The toddler has already received two chemo treatments at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, according to family members. However, when Noah's mother and father took him out of state last week, seeking a second opinion, they were stopped in Ketucky by law enforcement.
Shortly after, they lost custody of their son.
The parents hired an attorney and took their fight to court, hoping a judge would rule in their favor for a more natural approach to treating their young son's cancer.
They were pleased the court took time to listen to their concerns, but ultimately, heartbroken, when the ruling was announced Wednesday, after two days of grueling court testimony, that their son must undergo chemotherapy.
"It is a mixed bag, in that we obvously have to watch this child go through chemothearpy, but at least we know with the use of cannabis and other treatments that the child will be able to deal with chemotherapy, rather than not being able to have those alternative treatments available," their attorney, Michael MInardi, said.
For now, the child's grandparents have temporary custody, although Noah's mother and father will be allowed at his medical appointments and treatments.
The parents say they are working to regain custody of their little boy.
They explained that they're currently working with the Department of Children and Famlies to arrange unsupervised visits.
With the judge's ruling today, Noah is scheduled to receive chemotherapy treatment at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in downtown St. Petersburg Thursday morning, according to his parents and their attorney.

Q. How old does my dog have to be to come to your classes?
A. Your pup or new dog can come to classes as soon as your vet is happy for them to be out and about. The youngest dog we have had was 11 weeks old. The oldest a stunning 15 years old.
Q. Which class would be most suitable?
A. This depends on the age and temperament of your dog and any previous learning.
Puppy Classes are generally for pups up to 20 weeks, but an older pup or shy dog may benefit from coming along. Pet Dog Training classes are suitable for dogs that have no or very little training and the other classes are best for dogs who have basic control.
Q. What happens in the class?
A. Again this depends on which class you attend. Puppy foundation class is getting your pup out and about and used to the world, being handled, meeting other dogs, playing, and follow the treat training.
Pet Dog Training is a 6 week course designed to help you and your dog live together in harmony.
Q. How much are your classes?
A. This depends on the course or class you are looking at.
Pet Dog Training is £50 for the 6 weeks.
Q. How many dogs are in the class?
A. Classes are generally limited to 6 - 8 dogs, apart from the Pet Dog Plus class, this can change from week to week.
Q. What are the social walks?
A. Taking place on open land around the area, the social walks enable the dogs from Cloverleaf and GDTS to have some off lead play in a safe area while their owners get to know each other.
Q. My dog doesn't like/is aggressive/is frightened of other dogs/people etc can he come to your classes?
A. One to one sessions are provided for behaviour problems. For the sake of your dog and the others in the class we don't allow dogs who will find the environment challenging. Contact our Head Trainer Olwen Turns for more information.
Q. How do I know your classes are well run?
A. Olwen Turns our Head Trainer is a Certified Dog Trainer and Behaviourist registered with INTOdogs also a Member of the Kennel Club Accredited Instructors Scheme working towards the accreditation and a qualified behaviourist , This means that she has to undergo exams and tests as well as attend continual professional development courses. She is also a PTTLS qualified Adult Education Teacher.
We allow people to pop along to a training session to see if it's for them.
Q. Do I have to enrol on a training course or can I just turn up?
A. Download and complete a registration form. Our courses fill up quickly it is a good idea to pre book to make sure you have a space.
Occasionally we can take in last minute registrations depending on the size of the class.

July 8, 2019 /in California, The Economy /by Joel Kotkin and Marshall Toplansky
For the past decade, the soaring stock prices and nosebleed valuations of Silicon Valley's IPOs and tech sector unicorns has been a boon for California, helping create a record budget surplus of almost $22 billion.
Yet this bonanza has occurred just as the state's overall job creation, once among the country's leaders, has slowed to a more middle of the road status, well below the rates for key competitors such as Nevada, Arizona, Washington State and Texas. On a GDP basis, according to the most recent federal data, Texas by the last quarter of 2018 was growing nearly three times as fast.
Slower growth could expose California even more to its growing, and unhealthy, dependence on the relatively small, in terms of employment, tech sector.

California's left-wing policies hurt working-class and middle-class residents.
The recent California Democratic Party convention in San Francisco exposed the divide between the state's progressive and working-class voters. Progressives, in their militant certitude, support left-wing policies that often don't affect them; it's the working class that suffers the consequences of these proposals. But the Green New Deal, widely embraced by party leaders, pushed too far, triggering a backlash at the convention. The state's private-sector labor unions, notably the building trades, organized a "Blue Collar Revolution" protest against the Democrats' climate legislation. Read more
For decades California's regulatory and tax policies have undermined our middle class, driving millions out of this most favored state. Perhaps nowhere is this clearer than in a drive that seeks to destroy the single-family neighborhoods preferred by the state's middle-income households.
SB50, introduced by state Sen. Scott Wiener, would allow division of existing houses to duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes "by right" in single-family neighborhoods. Further, higher density apartments could be built-in single-family neighborhoods close to transit. This could lead to significant house value losses by families for whom their home is their greatest single asset.
Clippers Offer A Better Model For SoCal Than The Lakers
April 15, 2019 /in California, Urban Affairs /by Joel Kotkin
This year's basketball season, with the collapse of the Lakers and the surprising rise of the Clippers, poses a metaphor for the region. On the one hand, there's the Laker obsession with the "star system" and impressing outsiders, notably on the East Coast. The Clipper model, reflecting a culture of hard work and teamwork, relies not only on celebrity but the raising of often obscure people into prominence.

Candidate of Big Tech
April 11, 2019 /in California, Politics /by Joel Kotkin
In the free-form, roller derby race for the Democratic presidential nomination, few candidates are better positioned than California's Senator Kamala Harris. She is a fresh and attractive mid-fifties face, compared with septuagenarian frontrunners Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, or the aging progressive Elizabeth Warren. Part Asian-Indian, part Afro-Caribbean, and female, Harris seems the frontrunner in the intersectionality sweepstakes that currently largely defines Democratic politics. Yet the national obsession with ethnicity and novelty obscures the more important reality: Harris is also the favored candidate of the tech and media oligarchy now almost uniformly aligned with the Democratic Party.

The Opium of California
April 9, 2019 /in California, Politics, The Economy /by Joel Kotkin
The current frenzy of new IPOs — Uber, Lyft, Slack, Postmates, Pinterest and Airbnb — seems destined to reinforce progressive notions that California represents the future not just for the state, but the nation. It will certainly reinforce California's fiscal dependency on tech-dominated elites — half of the state's income taxes come from people making over $500,000 a year — and provide a huge potential multi-billion dollar windfall for the state treasury.
To be sure, the insiders — founders, with nearly half the voting shares in companies such as Lyft, a small "tech mafia" of venture firms, foreign investors such as Japan's Softbank and Wall Street investors — will have reason to celebrate. But the lavish paydays will do little to relieve, and may even serve to worsen, the state's gaping inequality and nation-leading poverty rates.
Most damaging of all, the IPO high will encourage supporters of the state's policy agenda. If new companies crop up, and the handful of politically savvy investors thrive, California's illuminati can fend off criticism of policies that undermine the middle and working class in everything from energy to housing.
The changing nature of California's tech economy
"Science," observed Daniel Coit Gilman, the second president of the University of California, "is the mother of California." With few navigable rivers, a persistent shortage of water, far from the then-dominant Eastern seaboard, California's growth depended on engineering prowess. Not tied to the traditional industries, the state seized on emerging fields such as aviation, space and eventually semiconductors, laying the basis for an expanding middle class
In contrast, little of today's tech growth produces tangible products, and those that remain, such as Space X, the semiconductor industry and Apple, are placing their production either abroad or in less expensive and less highly regulated states. This allows them to escape California's high electrical rates, poor roads, collapsing bridges and lagging public education system. The digital future may remain in California but the action in chip-manufacturing, biomedical products or space exploration seems headed elsewhere.
The firms in the new "information peddling economy," notes the University of Washington at Tacoma's Ali Modarres, have a very different relationship with their employees than "first wave" companies such as Hewlett Packard and Intel. In the first wave a broad range of employees enjoyed rewards from corporate success and stock gains; drivers for Uber, as one analyst suggests, will get nothing but the privilege of seeing vast flows of cash used to replace them with automated vehicles.
The neo-feudal city
The new wave of IPOs will expand the ranks of what The New York Times aptly describes as "the elite caste who can afford to live comfortably in the Bay Area." Tech senior managers will enjoy huge capital gains, greatly reducing their federal tax liability. In contrast, less well-placed working schmucks will pay upward of half their income in taxes while those who clean their offices will face potential new fees on everything from tires and soda to water.
Even in the Bay Area, home to four of California's wealthiest ZIP codes, middle-wage jobs are disappearing and most new growth is tilted toward low-wage service work. Nearly half of all millennials are planning to leave and analysts suggest the area may face a severe shortage of skilled workers. Overall, notes a new Joint Venture Silicon Valley report, homelessness and inequality has expanded in the region, while the quality of life is perceived by most to be deteriorating.
One can appreciate the economic benefits that Uber, Lyft, Salesforce and others have brought to San Francisco, but there's also a neo-Dickensian reality: sky-high housing prices, widespread homelessness, displaced minorities, few children and a rapidly shrinking middle class. There are now more drug addicts in the city of San Francisco than high school students and so much feces on the street that one website has created a "poop map." More than half of the Bay Area's lower-income communities, notes a recent UC Berkeley study, are in danger of mass displacement.
As for the rest of California
In previous tech-led economic booms — as recently as the last decade — growth extended to the rest of the state, particularly the more affordable interior. Tech firms expanded eastward, to Sacramento, south toward Salinas and throughout Southern California. The new tech economy, in contrast, has no real need for a periphery. It expands almost anywhere, whether to media-centric New York, less expensive places including suburban Austin, Nashville or Dallas or to China, India or the Philippines.
This has left much of Southern and interior California an economic dependency, hosting largely on low-wage jobs and increasingly dependent on an expansive welfare state. Worse yet, the tech boom serves as a narcotic, anesthetizing our political leaders from confronting the economic realities outside the venture capital-funded Bay Area bubble.
What is needed now is a focus on the middle- and working-class Californians, the vast majority of whom live far from the Bay Area.
California's policy makers need to start by rolling back many of the regulations on energy and housing that are reducing opportunity by driving up costs and driving middle-class jobs out of the state. We also need to focus more on developing employment centers outside the ultra-expensive coastal areas, something that would allow people to live closer to where they work. This suggests a policy that focus on such things as good roads, decent schools and a variety of upwardly mobile jobs — things that may not matter much to oligarchs or the youthful staffs, but make all the difference to middle- and working-class families.
To be truly a sustainable society, California needs opportunities for carpenters, machinists, middle managers, not just for the current structure that relies on superstar coders and produces large numbers of low-paid service workers. We need a California boom that lifts most of our citizens and does not drive them toward a permanent semi-feudal state, servants and supplicants of a small, fantastically wealthy and preening technological elite.

California's Self-Created Future Energy Crisis
April 1, 2019 /in California /by Joel Kotkin
In much of the country a powerful energy boom is providing a serious stimulus to economic growth. But in California, where fossil fuels are considered about toxic as tobacco, we are lurching toward an anticipated energy shortage that will further exacerbate the state's already deep geographic and class divisions.
California, in a typical feat of "virtue signaling," has committed the state to getting half of its electrical power from renewables such as wind and solar, up from 16 percent today, within the next decade. This drive has meant the rapid abandonment of electricity generated by nuclear power as well as natural, gas which together comprised nearly 70 percent of all electricity production in 2015.
This may not end well. California Public Utilities Commission President Michael Picker suggested recently that we could soon return "the kind of crisis we faced in 2000 and 2001." The rapid abandonment of existing reliable energy sources makes the state, in the estimate of the Institute for Energy Research, "vulnerable to rolling blackouts."
An electric future without electricity?
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's recent decision to not invest in L.A.'s existing natural-gas plants took place against the advice of staff at the Department of Water and Power. Silly realists, they worried about the ability of the city to generate all its power off of renewable sources, which tend to be unreliable and intermittent. Cold weather this year already stressed the natural gas supplies of the city.
If the mayor insists on transforming Los Angeles into a "green" paradise, expect much higher prices, and greater energy instability. California is already the second most expensive state for energy in the continental U.S. Similar policies have been responsible for high energy prices, and little greenhouse gas reductions, in such diverse places as Germany and Australia.
This is occurring, remarkably enough, as our political leaders commit to forcing more Californians to electrify everything — our heating and cooling systems as well as our cars. To meet the demand generated by electric cars alone, according to one recent estimate, would require 50 percent more electricity than today. This is occurring as we are not adding capacity but stripping it away from reliable nuclear and natural gas sources.
Creating dependency
The price of our leaders' green virtue will fall particularly hard on working-class Californians who already suffer the nation's highest rate of people living in poverty. They also tend to live in less-temperate geographies such as the Inland Empire, the high desert and the Central Valley. Expect the recent moves to expand the ranks of the million Californians who suffer from "energy poverty," defined as spending 10 percent or more of their household income on energy-related expenses.
Our economic dependency is worsened by the fact that California, once a major energy exporter, has adopted a bizarre policy that restricts not only local production but restricts imports from places such as North Dakota and Texas. Instead of embracing these Trump-leaning states, our leaders seem happier to get most of our crude oil shipped in forward-looking despotisms like Saudi Arabia.
There's a cost to this. Last year other regions added over 130,000 energy jobs, most of them high-paying, and mostly union, while our green leaders cheer on the continued elimination of such work here. This may seem fine to people working at Apple, Google, Facebook and in Hollywood, who make so much that high prices barely impact their lavish lifestyles, but may prove more damaging to blue-collar workers who either drill or refine energy, or work in industries dependent on reliable, affordable electricity. This is one reason why manufacturing in California last year grew less than one fourth the rate of the rest of the country, one-sixth that of Texas and one-tenth of neighboring Arizona and Nevada.
The Green New Deal: Class warfare and virtue signaling
Ultimately, California's energy policies reinforce the class and geographic bias that increasingly defines our state. Firms such as Apple boast of their solar-powered offices while using servers in energy-producing states and making products in Chinese factories reliant on coal. Generally new solar facilities, located far away from the coastal enclaves that demand them, gobble up land and kill wildlife; San Bernardino County recently restricted new solar "farms" due to such environmental concerns.
Nor is this policy doing much for the climate. Increasingly almost all new greenhouse gas emission come from countries such as China and India, which seem content to continue boosting fossil fuels. We are not even out-performing other states in reducing greenhouse gases: California ranks 40th in per capita GHG reductions among the states since 2007. Our biggest energy accomplishment may be boosting the self-esteem of the ruling caste of oligarchs, the political apparat and state-funded bureaucrats.
Less pleased will be most Californians who spend extra dollars on heating and cooling their homes, driving to work or working in businesses dependent on power. But until they are willing to say no to their self-congratulatory overlords, we will continue to work overtime to make California safe for economic feudalism.

California's Message: You Built That, Now Get Out!
March 11, 2019 /in California, Demographics, The Economy /by Joel Kotkin
The people who build our homes increasingly can no longer afford them. As the state elite and their academic cheering crew celebrate our progressive boom, even the most skilled, unionized construction workers, notes an upcoming study, cannot afford to live anywhere close to the state's major job centers.
In fact, notes the study, soon to be published by Chapman University, not a single unionized construction worker can afford a median-priced house in any of the major coastal counties, including Orange, Los Angeles, San Mateo, San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Diego, Alameda, Sonoma and Napa. Even with incomes averaging over $73,000 annually, notes author and economist Dr. John Husing, most can afford median-priced homes only in the further reaches of the Central Valley or the Inland Empire, requiring huge commutes.
This gap between blue collar and professional and entrepreneurial wages is even greater among the majority of construction workers who are not unionized. Husing suggests that most of these workers could only afford the cheapest starter house in the furthest reaches of exurbia and beyond.
California's growth model
For many progressives and futurists, California's growth model represents a beacon to a prosperous future. It's repeatedly pointed out that California is now the world's fifth-largest economy, largely the product of massive wealth concentrated in the Silicon Valley giants, as well as a much stronger dollar versus the pound and Euro, and sub-par growth throughout Europe.
To be sure, California came out of the recession with a robust recovery, paced by increased property values, a soaring stock market and, critically, huge growth in the Bay Area, which represents roughly 17 percent of the state's population. Yet overall, California's post-recession growth, according to the BLS, is now only marginally above the national average, and in many regions, notably Southern California, somewhat below. The contrast is greatest with our strongest rivals: California is now growing jobs at a rate 50 percent or more below the rate of Texas, Arizona and Nevada.
Even in the Bay Area, growth is slowing, particularly in the San Francisco-Oakland area where job growth has plummeted from nearly 5 percent in 2015 to less than 2 percent last year. The bulk of the job growth there now is at the low and high ends, leaving little in the middle. Nearly half of millennials in the Bay Area, according to a recent survey, plan to leave; since 2012 millennial outmigration from Los Angeles, as a new Brookings study reveals, lags only metro New York in exporting its youthful workers.
Future threats to the working class
The California economic model is based largely on income and capital gains accruing to a relatively small part of the population, one reason the state ranks second in inequality to New York, and is becoming ever more unequal. To be sure, the new wealth has driven housing demand, largely for expensive new homes and apartments, but overall construction employment remains considerably below its 2007 levels. Growth in the sector has actually fallen from 2013, and now lags well behind the rate enjoyed in Nevada, Arizona, Florida and Texas.
Other key blue collar sectors such as manufacturing have also under-performed national average. The sector is now growing at one quarter the national rate, a shortfall exacerbated by state climate policies that have increased both energy costs and imposed ever more rigid regulatory burdens that encourage producers to move to other locales.
How sustainable is the "California Model"?
If the rest of the country wants to adopt the "California model," it should be aware of what this means for the middle and working classes. The likely further acceleration of our state's tougher climate regulation polices, as well as the prospect of more taxes on things like soda, guns and tires may please our green gentry and the oligarchs, but inevitably will hurt job prospects and raise the cost of living for most California workers.
Pushing our construction workers to the far fringes, particularly as state policy seeks to concentrate employment in expensive core cities, makes it less likely that new workers will enter the labor pool necessary to address our housing shortage. With residential sales dropping across the state, and California's rate of new housing permits per new resident roughly half the national average, the prospects facing construction workers may be dimmer than necessary.
State measures to encourage the creation of subsidized housing could help some, but in reality would make only a tiny dent in the problem. Increasingly the political class focuses not on expanding the land for development, or bringing jobs to the more affordable interior, but on mandating subsidies, set-asides and rent control. Some, including certain oligarchs, suggest offering regular cash outlays so working people can subsist but never enter the property-owning classes.
Having sought accommodation with the green, anti-suburban regulators, both developers and labor need to recognize that it's time to challenge a policy agenda harmful to the prospects both of business and most working Californians. Rather than doubling down on policies that reinforce our state's descent into feudalism, we need to forge a new agenda that encourages instead broad economic growth and greater opportunity.

This Train Won't Leave the Station
February 14, 2019 /in California, Politics /by Joel Kotkin and Wendell Cox
Governor Gavin Newsom has canceled the bulk of the state's long-proposed high-speed line between Los Angeles and San Francisco, leaving only a tail of the once-grand project—a connection between the Central Valley's Merced and Bakersfield, not exactly major metropolitan areas. "Let's be real," Newsom said in his first State of the State address. "The project, as currently planned, would cost too much and take too long. There's been too little oversight and not enough transparency." The project's cost, originally pegged at $33 billion, ballooned over the last decade to an estimated $77 billion (or maybe as high as $98 billion), with little reason to assume that the cost inflation would end there.

Restoring the California Dream, Not Nailing Its Coffin
February 12, 2019 /in California, Politics, Rural Policy, Urban Affairs /by Joel Kotkin and Wendell Cox
Virtually everyone, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, is aware of the severity of California's housing crisis. The bad news is that most proposals floating in Sacramento are likely to do very little to address our housing shortage.
Newsom has promised to have 3.5 million homes built over the next seven years to solve the problem. That is, conservatively stated, more than 2.6 million that would be built at the current rate of construction.

Holiday cancellations are in the news given the issues with travel to Sharm el-Sheik.
Package holidaymakers are protected and can expect a full refund or an alternative holiday if Foreign Office advice prevents them flying to Sharm, but people who have booked independently may lose money. They should be able to transfer their flights, but if they have booked accommodation separately they will almost certainly be charged if they are unable to go to Sharm. In some cases the cancellation fee can be 100% of the cost of their stay. It really does depend on the terms and conditions of individual hotels at the time the booking was made. Also, most travel insurance policies will still provide cover for holidaymakers in a country at the time of FCO advice change.
We are frequently asked to mediate in relation to package holiday complaints so this guide may be of help.
Holiday complaints are particularly well suited to mediation as holidaymakers do not want to have to spend time going to the small claims court and tour operators want to resolve cases rather than become embroiled in litigation as well. It is often possible to find a way through to settle at a reasonable figure.
The first thing to establish is whether the holiday is a "package" holiday. Assuming that it is, what can the holidaymaker claim if the holiday is not as good as expected?
In mediations the function of the mediator is not to give legal advice but often parties will not have had access to advice and so are mediating "blind." As part of the process the mediator will explore the best and worst alternative outcomes which involves looking at what the outcomes might be.
The mediator often has to work hard to help the parties to consider their expectations. For example, the holidaymaker will often want a complete refund, whereas a Court is unlikely to award this so it is unlikely that this will be offered. It is rare that a holiday has been completely ruined. In order to resolve the dispute the holidaymaker needs to take into account what would be recovered in Court – the best and worst alternative options, as with all mediations. Nowhere is it more true that a bird in the hand is worth more than in the bush! There are limits to what you can expect in compensation and people frequently have unrealistic expectations.
Regulation 4:- states that no travel organisers can supply consumers with misleading information.
Regulation 5:- requirements as to brochures. In particular, the brochure must be 'legible, comprehensible and accurate' regarding the price and the information provided.
Regulation 14:- where, after departure, a significant proportion of the services contracted for are not provided, or the organiser becomes aware that they will be unable to procure a significant proportion of them: the organiser must make suitable alternative arrangements, at no extra cost, for the continuation of the package and will, where appropriate, compensate you for the difference between the services to be supplied under the contract and those supplied.
A holidaymaker's worst nightmare is often finding out that builders are working around the hotel. The Regulations apply to this also. If the tour operator is a member of Abta, then the Abta Code of Conduct will bind them.
If the tour operator becomes aware of building works, which may reasonably be considered to seriously impair the enjoyment of travel arrangements, it must notify clients of the situation without undue delay.
The operator must provide the clients with accurate information about the extent of the building works and offer them the opportunity to transfer to alternative travel arrangements.
1. Loss of value – This is the difference between the value of the holiday you paid for and the one you actually got.
4. Personal injury – Compensation for any personal injury incurred abroad.
In the case of unsatisfactory quality complaints there are no set guidelines as to the assessment of damages.
The case of Terence Milner v Carnival Plc 2010 is a case in point which concerned a cruise of a lifetime. It was explained in this case that damages for honeymoon cases and ordinary family holidays rarely exceed £2,000. That is the top level. When judges look at these cases they often have in the back of their minds the yardstick of personal injury claims so they are unlikely to award more than someone would get for a personal injury that results in many months' loss of amenity pain and suffering.
Damages are higher when holidaymakers are planning to marry on holiday, for example. A special occasion ruined is worth more than a "normal" holiday.
In a run of the mill case damages ranged from £83-£1876. If you were offered free alternative accommodation by the tour operator, then your loss will be minimal. There are some things that are outside the tour operator's control, like the weather!

Sometimes a musical is so good that it brings you to your knees.
In the case of Merritt David Janes, who plays the small-statured Lord Farquaad in Shrek the Musical, being brought to his knees was part of the job description.
"I kneel in this contraption that makes me look like I'm 3 feet tall," said Janes. "Walking around and making that look convincing took a lot of work for the choreography."
Broadway in Tucson is bringing Lord Farquaad, Shrek, Princess Fiona and all of the favorites from the green ogre's fairy-tale world to Tucson, from Tuesday, Oct. 18, through Sunday, Oct. 23.
Though it can get tiring, knee-walking isn't so bad—with a special apparatus and choreography training, he said.
This version of Shrek is unlike anything you've seen before, promised Janes, who has been touring the country for four years in Broadway productions like The Wedding Singer, Beauty and the Beast and Sweeney Todd.
Shrek the Musical opened on Broadway in December 2008. This new cross-country U.S. tour will be just two months old when it comes to Tucson, Janes said.
"It's a really fresh version of the show. It's probably the best version of the show that's been done to date, including the production in New York," Janes said.
What makes it special? Well, there's an amazing dragon this time, Janes said, as well as some new choreography that includes a Lord Farquaad workout number complete with tiny dumbbells.
Drenched in comedy and filled with enchanting dance numbers, Shrek the Musical has something to offer for everyone, Janes said, from people who have seen the movie to people who have never seen a musical before.
"They bring you into the world a different way," Janes said. "In the movie, it's through animation. In the show, you have real people singing and dancing."
The musical follows the same basic story, about the ogre's effort to reclaim his swamp from mystical creatures ousted by the disgruntled ruler, Lord Farquaad. But the musical involves audiences much more thanks to the comedy, Janes said.
"You really experience all the funny moments in the show a lot more. That being said, I think we've all been inspired by how funny Mike Myers is," Janes said about the actor who voiced Shrek in the movies.
The theater brings some special challenges and uniqueness to the animated classic, Janes said. "Through theatrical tools, we can't zoom in on an animated face. We don't practice drawing our performance for months before we let anybody see it. We perform it every night."
That schedule also keeps the show fresh, said Janes, whose various tours have taken him to 44 states. He said he imagines the Shrek tour will last for a year or longer, depending on how many cities book the show.
When you tour, "you get to see all the different little cultural pockets of the country," Janes said. "When you get there, you get to go to the theater, which is the cultural center of the place. Every place has its own little unique personality, which is what keeps it fresh for me. It's always different."
Janes came to Tucson with the Beauty and the Beast tour.
"I'm looking forward to coming back," Janes said. "I always look forward to the individual personality of the audience."

Juul Contrae Release First Single - "Paradise" @juulcontrae
by The Grynd Report 7:30 PM
Raised in Camarillo, CA, Juul Contráe is an artist and songwriter. He has just released his first song, "Paradise."
Juul went to school with many famous and wealthy families such as Will Smith's children, the Gretzky family and Frank Ocean's family, however he never utilized those resources to break into the entertainment industry. Luckily, years later, he ran into Ray J and his team at a hotel and was friends with one of the team members. Juul quickly taught himself how to produce Hip Hop and R&B tracks using YouTube. This was fairly easy because he already had a background in piano and guitar ae well as an understanding of melodies.
Currently , Juul is influenced by the Hip Hop artists that are also making the Pop charts such as Drake and Cardi B. since being introduced to the genre in 2017. However, he grew up on 60s, 70s and 80s Pop/Rock such as Queen and The Doors.
"My goal is to have as much fun and pleasure as possible, a true Epicurean. I feel my music represents that. I want my music to make people happy and set the mood for having a good time." - Juul Contráe
The video is being shot soon. Meanwhile, the song is now available on all streaming platforms.
Juul encourages all fans to keep up with him on social media and take a further look into his everyday life on his vlogs with his sister - Juul and Car Vlogs channel on YouTube.

Infantino mourns late Taiwo Ogunjobi
Posted By: Ben Stephenon: February 19, 2019 In: Events
. Onigbinde, Amadu also condole family
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has added his voice, on behalf of the world football –governing body, to the overflow of condolence messages to the family of Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi, the former Secretary –General of then NFA and former Board Member who passed away on Monday last week.
In a letter dated 19th February 2019, and addressed to President of Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick, the world's number one football administrator wrote: "I would like to express my sincerest and heartfelt condolences on the passing of former Nigeria international player and administrator, Taiwo Ogunjobi. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel for this loss.
"Taiwo had a fulfilling and enriching career in football. As a player, he will be remembered notably as the captain of the Shooting Stars SC team that reached the final of the Africa Cup of Champion Clubs in 1984. After his retirement, he served as Secretary-General of the Nigeria Football Federation between 2002 and 2005, and was member of the NFF Executive Committee between 2006 and 2010.
"He also officiated as Match Commissioner for two 2010 World Cup Qualification Matches and was a Member of the Nigeria Football Federation Delegation participating in different FIFA competitions between 2002 and 2010…His legacy and achievement – on and off the pitch – will not be forgotten, and he will be truly missed.
"On behalf of the international football community, I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the Nigeria Football Federation, and to Taiwo's family, friends and loved ones. Our thoughts are with all of you. We hope that these memories and our words of support may help bring some peace and solace at this difficult time."
Similarly, two –time Head Coach of the Senior National Football Team and a former FIFA Advisor on Technical Matters, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde and former NFF General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu have both expressed their condolences on the passing of the Chairman of Osun State Football Association.
Onigbinde, who coached the youthful Nigeria squad that won the silver medals of the 1984 Africa Cup of Nations – of which Ogunjobi was a member – said the demise of the respected administrator was a big shock.
"Indeed, words are inadequate to express the sorrow and grief that I feel. He was my player in the National Team and he later excelled himself in administration. I pray that God will grant his soul eternal rest and also comfort the family and friends that he has left behind."
Amadu, who served as NFF Deputy General Secretary between 2006 and 2010 while Ogunjobi was a Member of the Board, before serving as General Secretary between 2010 and 2015, expressed shock on the departure of the amiable one –time Chairman of NFF Technical and Development Committee.
"The news of Chief Ogunjobi's death came like a thunderbolt. I found it difficult to believe. But what can we do? I pray that God will receive his soul and also grant those he has left behind, including the Nigerian Football family, the fortitude to bear the big loss."
Ogunjobi, also a former Nigeria international defender, died in Ibadan, Oyo State on Monday, 11th February after a brief illness.

Gaming: China brings in limits for under-18s
7 Nov 20197 November 2019
Last updated at 13:19
Gamers who are under 18 in China will be banned from playing online between certain hours.
The country is bringing in a curfew for young people so they aren't allowed to play between 10:00pm and 8:00am.
Experts there hope it will help tackle video game addiction, which officials say is damaging children's health.
China is the second largest gaming country in the world.
We'd love to know what you think. Should there be a curfew for kid gamers? Take part in our vote and leave us a comment below.
Gaming disorder is now an official condition
Some kids 'feeling pressured' to spend money in online games
Have your say: Should loot boxes be banned?
Under the new rules, under-18s can only play for 90 minutes on weekdays, while they may play up to three hours per day on weekends and public holidays.
There's also a limit being brought in as to how much children can spend.
Gamers who are aged between 8-16 will be allowed to spend up to 200 yuan per month, (that's £22) while those between 16-18 can spend up to 400 yuan on their gaming accounts.
Are video games a problem ?
Experts think they can be, if playing too much becomes a problem.
The World Health Organization in 2018 identified gaming addiction - which they call "gaming disorder" - as a mental health condition for the first time.
Some countries have listed excessive gaming as a major public health issue, and many have private addiction clinics to treat the condition.
In the UK, plans have been announced to give young people who are seriously addicted to computer games better access to NHS treatment.

It's not a good law it doesn't really matter and they can just have their own times that parents choose.
I don't think this law is good because sometimes you won't want to play video games and sometimes you might have a bad day and play them quite a lot.
That's a good idea. Anyway, they can find something else to do in their free time like read a book or play outside!
Worst law ever
12:39 9 Nov 2019
This is a horrible law, China just said goodbye to their own gaming industry.
Banana Chen
I think not so. Adults should be in charge of that because they are responsible for their children and you don't need to get the police involved.
This should not be a thing! I think that these rules are ridiculous and should be removed. I am a PRO gamer myself and i think that gaming limitations are just bad!
Good rule as some children will stay up just playing and then not be able to concentrate at the school the next morning!❤📚
I think it's all a good idea to bring in a limit and curfew.
However, I didn't know that's even a limit! My brother plays games sometimes, and he's only allowed 30 mins no matter which day it is. 90 mins/3 hrs feels like so much, so I think it's a good limit.
Erin 🌴
Removed comment
90 min of game is perfect
I think it is a great rule and they should of started it years ago
On weekends I stay on my PC from like 7:30 pm to 10pm, so it wouldn't matter for me if it was a rule in the UK. But I think 90 minutes and 3 hours is to less time.
I think they should take away the rule that their only allowed to play 90 mins on weekdays it's a bit short but overall I think this is a good way to tackle Video Game Addiction.
loppyrabbitlover
If should not be a law, parents should learn some responsiblity and make sure there kids don't play too long
I think there's no reason to ban video games at certain times.
yeyyy
aquablue48
My brother sometimes wakes up really early and goes downstairs to watch TV or sometimes play games, I don't think it should be till 8 o'clock, cause I could imagine some people who naturally wake up early deciding to spend some time on a game. The 10 o'clock rule sounds ok though, and the spending limit's a good idea, not sure about the time limit, cause some multiplayer games would see a lot of people quitting the game cause of the limit. Not too sure about this, maybe a little too strict? We'll have to see how it gets on...

Acclaim for Gianni Skaragas
"Gianni Skaragas has had more stories published in World Literature Today than any other writer in the last ten years. Want to tap into the zeitgeist of contemporary international short fiction? Read The Lady of Ro and you'll encounter the work of a master of the form."
—Daniel Simon, Editor in Chief, World Literature Today
"Skaragas's writing is both quiet and restless; it asks us to pay attention to the hidden corners of our cities—the embraces under bridges, the unexpected generosity of neighbors, and the secrets lurking in our homes."
– Joanna Luloff, Copper Nickel
"Skaragas crafts a complex story of loss and forgiveness, a sophisticated narrative puzzle with immaculate plotting. He demonstrates a rare combination of ethical generosity and psychological insight, an ability to understand humanity without being partial. It's the new Noir."
–Panos Economides, European Business Review
"Skaragas's play (Prime Numbers) is written with extraordinary literary elegance and the confessions of each character ingeniously delve deep into the human soul."
–– NEO Magazine, New York
"In his [Skaragas's] writings, the ordinary becomes the critical, rendering complex events and emotions into stories that shed light on the human experience of loss and redemption. His poetic prose is profound and unusual in its emotional range and intensity."
– Coucou Magazine, Switzerland

A fresh, piping hot sourdough loaf with a rosy hue and a slight hint of tomato. The secret to the flavour is adding warm tomato juice to the sourdough starter.
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside. In large bowl; mix starter and tomato juice. Add yeast mixture, salt and sugar then stir well.
Add 1/3 of the flour at a time and beat well to develop the gluten. When a stiff dough forms, turn out onto a floured surface then knead until smooth and elastic, adding the last 1/3rd of flour as you go. Turn into oiled bowl, lightly oil top, cover with a tea towel then place in draught free area for 2 hours to double in bulk.
Punch down and divide dough in two, form into rounds and place each on a baking tray that has been sprinkled generously with polenta. Let rise 1/2 hour, rub top lightly with flour and slash with sharp knife. Bake at 180 degrees C for 45 to 60 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned when checked.
For a soft crust, cool under a clean tea towel. For a harder crust, cool uncovered.

On Thursday 15th September, all the children in Key Stage 2 traveled down to the City Park, in the centre of Bradford. They went down to try to become world record holders. The world record that they were trying to break was the Guinness World Record Attempt for the longest chain of people making a heart-shaped hand gesture. And they succeeded! All the children are world record holders! Thank you to all the parents who gave permission for your child to attend the event and for your continued support with the range of activities that we try to do in school. There is also an extra special thank you to say to the children as the weather was ridiculously, unseasonably hot. Every child that took part will receive a world record breakers medal and they are going to be given out by a Guinness World Record official in a special celebration assembly. The children will also get chance to see the actual certificate too. Again, congratulations children and to all staff that took part: they wouldn't have been able to do it without you!

Appendix B. Issues Raised by Captive Portals
This document specifies additional HTTP [RFC2616] status codes for a variety of common situations, to improve interoperability and avoid confusion when other, less precise status codes are used.¶
Feedback should occur on the ietf-http-wg@w3.org mailing list, although this draft is NOT a work item of the IETF HTTPbis Working Group.¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] .¶
This status code indicates that the origin server requires the request to be conditional.¶
Its typical use is to avoid the "lost update" problem, where a client GETs a resource's state, modifies it, and PUTs it back to the server, when meanwhile a third party has modified the state on the server, leading to a conflict. By requiring requests to be conditional, the server can assure that clients are working with the correct copies.¶
Responses using this status code SHOULD explain how to resubmit the request successfully. For example:¶
HTTP/1.1 428 Precondition Required
<title>Precondition Required</title>

Precondition Required

This request is required to be conditional;
try using "If-Match".

Responses with the 428 status code MUST NOT be stored by a cache.¶
This status code indicates that the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting").¶
The response representations SHOULD include details explaining the condition, and MAY include a Retry-After header indicating how long to wait before making a new request.¶
For example:¶
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 3600
<title>Too Many Requests</title>

Too many Requests

I only allow 50 requests per hour to this Web site per
logged in user. Try again soon.

Note that this specification does not define how the origin server identifies the user, nor how it counts requests. For example, an origin server that is limiting request rates can do so based upon counts of requests on a per-resource basis, across the entire server, or even among a set of servers. Likewise, it might identify the user by its authentication credentials, or a stateful cookie.¶
This status code indicates that the server is unwilling to process the request because its header fields are too large. The request MAY be resubmitted after reducing the size of the request header fields.¶
It can be used both when the set of request header fields in total are too large, and when a single header field is at fault. In the latter case, the response representation SHOULD specify which header field was too large.¶
HTTP/1.1 431 Request Header Fields Too Large
<title>Request Header Fields Too Large</title>

Request Header Fields Too Large

The "Example" header was too large.

This status code indicates that the client needs to authenticate to gain network access.¶
The response representation SHOULD indicate how to do this; e.g., with an HTML form for submitting credentials.¶
The 511 status SHOULD NOT be generated by origin servers; it is intended for use by intercepting proxies that are interposed as a means of controlling access to the network.¶
6.1. The 511 Status Code and Captive Portals
A network operator wishing to require some authentication, acceptance of terms or other user interaction before granting access usually does so by identify clients who have not done so ("unknown clients") using their MAC addresses.¶
Unknown clients then have all traffic blocked, except for that on TCP port 80, which is sent to a HTTP server (the "login server") dedicated to "logging in" unknown clients, and of course traffic to the login server itself.¶
For example, a user agent might connect to a network and make the following HTTP request on TCP port 80:¶
GET /index.htm HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
Upon receiving such a request, the login server would generate a 511 response:¶
HTTP/1.1 511 Network Authentication Required
Refresh: 0; url=https://login.example.net/
<title>Network Authentication Required</title>

You need to
authenticate with the local network in order to get
access.

Here, the 511 status code assures that non-browser clients will not interpret the response as being from the origin server, and the Refresh header redirects the user agent to the login server (an HTML META element can be used for this as well).¶
Note that the 511 response can itself contain the login interface, but it may not be desirable to do so, because browsers would show the login interface as being associated with the originally requested URL, which may cause confusion.¶
7.1. 428 Precondition Required
The 428 status code is optional; clients cannot rely upon its use to prevent "lost update" conflicts.¶
7.2. 429 Too Many Requests
Servers are not required to use the 429 status code; when limiting resource usage, it may be more appropriate to just drop connections, or take other steps.¶
7.3. 431 Request Header Fields Too Large
Servers are not required to use the 431 status code; when under attack, it may be more appropriate to just drop connections, or take other steps.¶
7.4. 511 Network Authentication Required
In common use, a response carrying the 511 status code will not come from the origin server indicated in the request's URL. This presents many security issues; e.g., an attacking intermediary may be inserting cookies into the original domain's name space, may be observing cookies or HTTP authentication credentials sent from the user agent, and so on.¶
However, these risks are not unique to the 511 status code; in other words, a captive portal that is not using this status code introduces the same issues.¶
The HTTP Status Codes Registry should be updated with the following entries:¶
Description: Precondition Required
Specification: [ this document ]
Description: Too Many Requests
Description: Request Header Fields Too Large
Description: Network Authentication Required

Thanks to Jan Algermissen for his suggestions and feedback.¶
The authors take all responsibility for errors and omissions.¶
Since clients cannot differentiate between a portal's response and that of the HTTP server that they intended to communicate with, a number of issues arise.¶
One example is the "favicon.ico" <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon> commonly used by browsers to identify the site being accessed. If the favicon for a given site is fetched from a captive portal instead of the intended site (e.g., because the user is unauthenticated), it will often "stick" in the browser's cache (most implementations cache favicons aggressively) beyond the portal session, so that it seems as if the portal's favicon has "taken over" the legitimate site.¶
Another browser-based issue comes about when P3P <http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/> is supported. Depending on how it is implemented, it's possible a browser might interpret a portal's response for the p3p.xml file as the server's, resulting in the privacy policy (or lack thereof) advertised by the portal being interpreted as applying to the intended site. Other Web-based protocols such as WebFinger <http://code.google.com/p/webfinger/wiki/WebFingerProtocol>, CORS <http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/> and OAuth <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2> may also be vulnerable to such issues.¶
Although HTTP is most widely used with Web browsers, a growing number of non-browsing applications use it as a substrate protocol. For example, WebDAV [RFC4918] and CalDAV [RFC4791] both use HTTP as the basis (for network filesystem access and calendaring, respectively). Using these applications from behind a captive portal can result in spurious errors being presented to the user, and might result in content corruption, in extreme cases.¶
Similarly, other non-browser applications using HTTP can be affected as well; e.g., widgets <http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/>, software updates, and other specialised software such as Twitter clients and the iTunes Music Store.¶
It should be noted that it's sometimes believed that using HTTP redirection to direct traffic to the portal addresses these issues. However, since many of these uses "follow" redirects, this is not a good solution.¶

The substitution is not done for the g function within derivatives. I tried dg.subs(g(x)==h(x)*x) too, got deprecation warnings and the same results. How can I make this work? This is a simplified example, in reality, instead of dg, I have the lhs of an ODE defined interms of g(x).
This is highly confusing. I would have expected the last three things `h, j, k` to be of the same type.
This seems unnecessarily complex and unintuitive. Is there a better way?
