The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a variety of programs and courses designed to prepare students for careers in teaching and for positions as mathematicians and statisticians in industry and government. The department also provides service courses for students in many other disciplines and contributes to the University Studies program by providing Quantitative Literacy and Quantitative Intensive classes.
Current mathematics ACT/SAT scores, Math Placement Exam scores, and Advanced Placement (AP) calculus and statistics scores are used for placement in 1000-level and 2000-level mathematics and statistics courses. A current score is defined as a score from an exam taken within the Math Prerequisite Acceptability Time Limit (MPATL).
Prerequisites for MATH 1050 , MATH 1060 , MATH 1100 , MATH 1210 , MATH 2020 and, STAT 2300 must be completed on or after (not before) the following dates, in order to fall within the MPATL for the listed semester: fall semester—August 15 of the previous year; spring semester—January 1 of the previous year; summer semester—June 1 of the previous year.
Students who are registering for a math class at USU for the first time who have a math ACT score of less than 23 or a math SAT score of less than 540 (whether current or not) are required to take the Math Placement Exam administered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. A student's score on the Math Placement Exam will be used to determine his or her placement in appropriate mathematics or statistics course.
Students who are registering for a math class for the first time who have a current math ACT score of at least 23 or a current math SAT score of at least 540 do not need to take the Math Placement Exam. However, for each of the courses listed below, one of the following prerequisites, achieved within the MPATL, is required for enrollment.
For students needing a satisfactory score on the Math Placement Exam (MPE) to meet an enrollment requirement for any course listed below, the deadline for meeting this requirement is the end of the first week of classes. A maximum of three attempts to achieve a satisfactory score on the MPE is allowed each semester.
Math ACT score between 18 and 22 (Math SAT score between 480 and 530) and satisfactory Math Placement Exam score or Math ACT score of at least 23 (Math SAT score of at least 540) or Grade of C- or better in MATH 0900 or Satisfactory score on Math Placement Exam
MATH 1030 (not currently offered)
Math ACT score of at least 23 (Math SAT score of at least 540) or Grade of C or better in MATH 1010 or Satisfactory score on Math Placement Exam
Math ACT score of at least 23 (Math SAT score of at least 540) or Grade of C or better in MATH 1050 or AP Calculus AB exam score of 3 or higher or Satisfactory score on Math Placement Exam
Math ACT score of at least 23 (Math SAT score at least 540) or Grade of C or better in MATH 1010 (or MATH 1050 ) or AP Calculus AB exam score of 3 or higher or Satisfactory score on Math Placement Exam
Math ACT score of at least 25 (or Math SAT score of at least 580) or Grade of C- or better in MATH 1050 or Satisfactory score on Math Placement Exam
Math ACT score of at least 27 (Math SAT score of at least 620) or Grade of C- or better in MATH 1050 and MATH 1060 or AP Calculus AB exam score of 3 or higher or Satisfactory score on Math Placement Exam
Math ACT score of at least 25 (Math SAT score of at least 580) or Grade of C- or better in MATH 1050 or Satisfactory score on Math Placement Exam
Math ACT score of at least 23 (Math SAT score of at least 540) or Grade of C or better in MATH 1010 or Satisfactory score on Math Placement Exam
Entering students with current passing scores on AP calculus or statistics exams will be awarded credits as shown below:
Even if not required, students may opt to take the Math Placement Test through the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, strictly for advising purposes.
The calculus courses MATH 1210 , MATH 1220 , and MATH 2210 are designed for students majoring in mathematics, the sciences, and engineering. MATH 1100 (Calculus Techniques) is designed primarily for students majoring in business. All students in calculus classes need strong backgrounds in the material covered in MATH 1010 and MATH 1050 In addition, the MATH 1210 , MATH 1220 , MATH 2210 sequence requires a sound understanding of trigonometry (MATH 1060 ).
Students with outstanding mathematics records in high school and transfer students with some experience in calculus may wish to consult with a departmental advisor prior to registration.
All students in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics must satisfy the requirements of USU's University Studies program.
Suggested semester-by-semester four-year plans for students working toward a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree within the Department of Mathematics and Statistics can be found at: http://www.usu.edu/degreeplans/
Students should consult with their advisor to develop a plan of study tailored to their individual needs and interests.
Students who would like to experience greater academic depth within their major are encouraged to enroll in departmental honors. Through original, independent work, Honors students enjoy the benefits of close supervision and mentoring, as they work one-on-one with faculty in select upper-division departmental courses. Honors students also complete a senior project, which provides another opportunity to collaborate with faculty on a problem that is significant, both personally and in the student's discipline. Participating in departmental honors enhances students' chances for obtaining fellowships and admission to graduate school. Minimum GPA requirements for participation in departmental honors vary by department, but usually fall within the range of 3.30-3.50. Students may enter the Honors Program at almost any stage in their academic career, including at the junior (and sometimes senior) level. The campus-wide Honors Program, which is open to all qualified students regardless of major, offers a rich array of cultural and social activities, special classes, and the benefit of Honors early registration. Interested students should contact the Honors Program, Main 15, (435) 797-2715, email@example.com. Additional information can be found online at: http://www.usu.edu/honors/
Students who enter the University with AP credit in Mathematics and/ or Statistics, and about 30 additional AP or CLEP credits, may be able to complete both a BS and an MS degree within five years or less. Interested students should consult with a departmental undergraduate advisor.
For detailed information about requirements for majors and minors within the Mathematics and Statistics Department, see the major requirement sheet, which is available from the department, or online at: http://www.usu.edu/majorsheets/
The department offers several one-, two-, and four-year scholarships to qualified students who enroll as full-time Mathematics, Mathematics Education, or Statistics majors. The winner of the Hunsaker Scholarship receives a cash award each semester for two years. This award is given in addition to any four-year scholarship or tuition waiver for which the student is eligible. During the final two years, the recipient is expected to work as a grader for the department. The department also offers other scholarships (Elich, Ellis, van Vliet, and departmental). The amount of these scholarships varies from year to year. The Ellis Scholarship is awarded to a junior or senior Mathematics Education major, and the recipient is selected by the department. To apply for any of these scholarships (except for the Ellis Scholarship, for which there is no application) fill out the scholarship application form located at http://www.math.usu.edu/PDF/scholarship%20appl%20Oct08.pdf, and send a statement of qualifications, including high school transcripts and SAT or ACT scores, and three letters of recommendation to:
Scholarship Committee
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Utah State University
3900 Old Main Hill
Logan UT 84322-3900
Applications must be received by March 15.
All students having majors within the Department of Mathematics and Statistics are expected to achieve competency in: (1) pre-calculus algebra; (2) calculus of one and several variables; (3) ordinary differential equations; (4) linear algebra/matricies, eigenvalues/ eigenvectors, determinant, rank; and (5) analysis (introduction to formal proofs/analysis theory).
Students enrolled in specific departmental majors should also havecompetence in additional areas pertaining to their major. These areas are listed in the following paragraphs.
(1) algebraic structures; (2) analysis/advanced calculus; (3) complex variables; (4) topology; (5) algebraic theory; and (6) partial differential equations.
(1) theory of probability and statistics; (2) linear regression/time series; (3) experiment design; and (4) one or more of sampling, categorical analysis, multivariate analysis, quality control.
(1) algebraic structures; (2) probability; (3) history of mathematics; (4) methods for secondary school teaching of mathematics and/or statistics; and (5) in-service teaching experiences.
Replace general competencies in traditional areas (i.e., algebra, topology, analysis) with specific topics related to the specialized emphasis. For example, students in the Computational Mathematics Emphasis need the ability to write computer code to solve linear, nonlinear, stochastic, and (partial and ordinary) differential equations; and students in the Actuarial Science Emphasis need two semesters of actuarial mathematics.
Beginning with Spring Semester 2004, the department has conducted an annual assessment of student performance in primary General Education courses (including MATH 1050 and STAT 1040 ). The performance of approximately 100 randomly selected students from each of MATH 1050 and STAT 1040 was evaluated by topic area on the common finals of these courses. Summary results will be available soon. The process was repeated for Spring Semester 2005. Together, these two years of data provide a baseline against which future groups of students will be compared. Weaknesses in topic learning will then be identified, and the Undergraduate Committee and course supervisors will provide feedback to instructors in an effort to bring overall student performance to target levels.
Core content of these courses changes infrequently and is primarily addressed through the selection of textbooks at three-year to five-year intervals. Primary assessment of these courses is through semester evaluations and final examination scores and course grade profiles. Competency in these areas is essential for any student majoring in mathematics or statistics.
These courses are re-evaluated by subcommittees of the Undergraduate Committee in terms of: level and appropriateness of content relative to learning objectives, textbook selection, final examinations, course grades, and student evaluations. At two-year to five-year intervals, courses are redesigned if the subject matter develops beyond traditional norms, or if market demand indicates that an under-utilized course should be replaced by a course having greater demand (e.g., development of a new cryptography course).
Students interested in undergraduate research opportunities in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Utah State University should begin by contacting the department head and undergraduate research liaison, D. Richard Cutler, (435) 797-0244, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Several departmental faculty members have engaged in successful undergraduate research projects. These faculty members, along with their research areas, include: James Powell (mathematical modeling of pine beetle infestations), Ian Anderson (differential geometry applications to theoretical and applied physics), and Richard Cutler (analysis of epidemiological and environmental data). In general, undergraduate research offers students an excellent opportunity to explore mathematical and statistical theory and practice under the guidance of an experienced researcher, to focus their own course selection on particular career paths and research areas (including graduate school), to co-author professional publications, and to actively make presentations at conferences or local seminars.
See the general admission requirements for graduate programs at Utah State University in this catalog. In general, students wishing to pursue graduate studies in mathematics or statistics should have a bachelor's degree in mathematics, statistics, or a closely related field, with extensive coursework in one of the departmental disciplines. The department requires a score of 700 on the quantitative section of the GRE. International applicants must have a TOEFL score of 250 on the computer-based test or a score of 100 on the internet-based test.
Students entering the Master of Mathematics (MMath) program must either possess a valid secondary school teaching license or be concurrently enrolled in a secondary school teacher licensure program.
Departmental requirements change from time to time. Check with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics for the list of requirements currently in effect.
Mathematics research opportunities within the department are many and varied, and students are urged to contact faculty about mutual interests at as early a stage as feasible. The interdisciplinary option permits and encourages study with a broad spectrum of outstanding nationally recognized University research programs.
Graduate students in the PhD program, the MMath program, and the Plan A and B options of the MS programs are eligible for teaching assistantships in the department. Duties of graduate teaching assistants may include full responsibility as instructors for introductory mathematics or statistics courses, leading recitations, and (in rare situations) tutoring and paper grading. Stipends are competitive and may include health insurance benefits. All graduate student stipends described here carry with them a waiver of all nonresident tuition. PhD students with stipends also receive a waiver of resident tuition. The department is also allocated a small number of resident tuition waivers for MS students each year. The department is able to support most PhD students and some MS students with summer teaching assignments. Mathematics and Statistics faculty members who have research grants may choose to partially or fully support students they are advising.

Hear a little about Steve's work in Zambia…
Rev. Steve Slater left on June 1 for his fifth annual teaching trip to Zambia. He arrived in Lusaka (capital) on Friday night, June 2, after more than 30 hours of transit, got some sleep and was picked up on Saturday morning to begin a 9-hour drive to the city of Chipata, Zambia.
On the way he was advised that he would preach at the oldest Reformed Church in Zambia, for two services. The morning service of 1200 people had many, many young people and was preached in English. The second service of approximately 600 people was preached with an interpreter. After church, the 9-hour trip was reversed to Lusaka where he began teaching pastors on Monday morning. There is no Bible college to attend, so the pastors' conferences are learning sessions and Steve now knows many people there and enjoys the work.
After the cities, he will take to the road (some of which we would not call roads!) and teach around the country. At each location pastors arrive on foot, by bicycle, bus, hitchhike, whatever means they can. Some travel for several days. In these areas there is generally no running water, indoor toilets, or electricity. He teaches in church buildings with no floors, no windows, no lights. All pastors are men. They sit on benches with no backs, eagerly taking notes to learn all they can. (This year Steve is teaching the Sermon on the Mount and communion)
Outside, women cook nshima (a thick grits) in a large vat for lunch. The men eat it with their hands, dipping it in a sauce, and drink water. They return to their seats and learning until it is dark enough that they can no longer see. They sleep on the floor of the church and begin again in the morning.
Most of these conferences last a day and a half. Steve then travels to the next planned site. Sometimes these meetings are outdoors, under a tree, or in a building with walls but no roof. Their appetite for learning is stunning. Each of these men has a church and is discipling 3 others to begin more churches and spread the gospel. Christianity is spreading like wildfire there. All teaching is done through interpreters, sometimes into more than one language at the same session. From English, to memba and once into French for men who crossed over from the Congo to attend. There are 73 dialects in Zambia.
Picture above: Steve and his translator teaching in a church with no roof, no windows. Some of the men are sitting on board benches with no backs, which is where people sit on Sundays. Others have brought in plastic chairs, or whatever chair is necessary. The men will sleep on the dirt floor of this church overnight once it is dark (no electricity).
Picture above: Two pastors who arrived by bicycle from some distance. The man on the right has two new tires for his bike. The man next to him has no pedals on his bike. A bicycle is their only means of transportation other than walking. They are dedicated to Christ, to their congregations, and work in conditions we have not experienced. Steve regards it as a privilege to serve these wonderful men.
It is winter in southern Africa now, the dry season, when the weather is great and the danger of malaria and yellow fever is at its lowest. This work is done through Hopebuilders Ministries (hbmin.org).
Steve retired from Doster Community Reformed Church at the end of 2016 and now lives in Kalamazoo with wife Janet.

Currently, the purchase of cannabis in Hawaii is only allowed with a medicinal marijuana (329) card. While the legalization of medical dispensaries became legal in 2015, they only started to appear in 2016, so they are not as easy to find as in other states.
In order to legally purchase marijuana in Hawaii, you must first acquire a medicinal marijuana card by visiting a licensed physician. During your visit, the physician will assess your current condition and will decide whether or not the use of cannabis could benefit your physical state. Conditions that may warrant a medical marijuana card include but are not limited to; cancer, glaucoma, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus, immune deficiency syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, severe pain, persistent muscle spasms, nausea or seizures.
Once you have received permission from your doctor, you will be required to register with the state of Hawaii by placing an application for your 329 cards. This application can be filled out online and will require the payment of a $38.50 application fee. This application fee will then be processed by your physician who will provide you with your 329 cards.
Your medicinal marijuana card will last a span of 12 months but should be renewed 60 days prior to expiration to avoid any lapse in medical treatment. Medicinal marijuana is not allowed to be taken outside of state lines, and can only be purchased in quantities up to four ounces every 15 days 8 ounces every 30 days. However, patients are allowed to grow up to seven plants within their own home.
The marijuana industry in Hawaii is expected to slowly grow over time, gradually stretching into the legalization of recreational marijuana. As more laws pass, cannabis will become readily available to the public. It is advised to regularly check on the changing and progression of these laws.

Becoming Seventy: Looking Back at Past Decades
In anticipation of turning seventy this year (2019), this author reviews and reflects on salient points of a sermon preached by a renowned American clergyman, Thomas De Witt Talmage (1832-1902). He discussed the journey of life from the twenties to the seventies.
The italicised statements following my sub-topics are paraphrased summaries of Talmage's perspective. The brief reflections are mine and are intended to encourage those of us becoming seventy as well as those who have journeyed past it, to embrace the privilege of future birthdays with joy.
Twenties: The Early Connections
In our twenties, we were chasing success, forming connections, deciding principles and habits which would guide the rest of our lives.
Those were our college days, followed by our first experiences of living on our own. We were happy for the independence, but we missed the security of home. We tried many things for the first time, and made friends in the process.
Now, whether we meet an old college classmate whom we barely remember, or we meet one with whom we communicate regularly, our conversation is the same: activities which held our mutual interest, which made us laugh, which taught us principles we learned and by which we still live. Fighting and winning, awards and defeats are no longer on the agenda. We inquire about those who are not on Facebook and Twitter. We express sorrow at the news of those who passed on. We confess our complex thoughts about aging and we cheer ourselves with laughter when we exchange insights to help us cope.
Because of the meaningful experiences we lived through together in our early years, we know how to communicate at soul level with our first adult friends. On our journey toward and beyond seventy, these long-lasting connections are the ones we cherish the most.
Thirties: Learning the Struggle
In our thirties, we were struggling for recognition. Our modus operandi in dealing with obstacles likely became a permanent pattern.
In our effort to keep up with career goals, we sometimes neglected house and home. We wanted recognition for our hard work. We needed ample income to pay the bills, treat our children well and afford a vacation. The struggle to meet our goals helped us to improve our performance and appreciate the money we earned.
Now, approaching seventy, we still may not know for sure how we pulled through. What we do know is that perseverance pays off; that recognition is not nearly as important as good health and happy relationships. The grit which carried us through our thirties can still support our determination to eat nutritious foods, to balance activity and rest, to share love and support, all in the interest of our well-being. There's still some struggle left in us.
Forties: Deciding Who We Really Are
In our forties, we discovered who we really were--our abilities and our limits. We settled into our true character.
Not that we ignored identity earlier on, but by this decade we realized that keeping up appearances was not worth the effort. We became tired of being people pleasers, of putting our own ideas on the back burner, of stifling the ambition we shelved since our twenties. We either woke up, stepped out of our comfort zone and became the leader, the entrepreneur, the musician or actor we were designed to be; or we laid back and continued to babysit other people's passion.
What matters now is that each person is satisfied with his self-description. Hurrah to those who are! To the rest, becoming seventy is an ideal time to begin becoming who we were meant to be.
Fifties: Reaping the Harvest
In our fifties we began to reap what we had sown, be it wild oats or honest labor. We were grateful to have lived for a half century, but also fearful that we had lost half a century.
We realized that we had probably lived half of our lives. We became sober at the thought that some of our actions could not be undone. The consequences showed up in our credit score, in the type of social circle to which we belonged, in our health profile, in our children and protégées who valued our presence or in some peers who preferred to avoid us. It was time to check our self-approval rate. We watered the good deeds so they could increase.
However, there are still some bad habits to change, and to this day we still have some seeds to plant. That's one reason we're still living.
Sixties: Accepting Change
In our sixties, we were surprised that we were that age. We talked about "When I was a girl (or boy)." We were experienced enough to do more in the next ten years than we did in the last thirty.
We seemed to get there quickly, but we only had to look at our children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews to verify how far we had come. Every time we marveled at how much they had grown, and how electronically savvy they were, we reminded ourselves of our aging status.
- We were already in our fifties when our eighteen-year old grandchild let us use his iPod which was released in (2001), the year he was born.
- We were already in our sixties when our eight-year old great grand child explained the iPad which was released in (2010), the year she was born.
With the years we have left, we may try to impress these young ones with the beautiful intimacy of face to face communication, handwritten notes and touching palms void of cell phones. We may also set our minds on adapting to the changes. We can!
Seventies: Reason to Celebrate
There are many reasons for celebration and gratitude.
Looking back has given us hope that we can continue to work at our unfinished business, to learn and grow even as we age. The quote below is full of anticipation for those becoming seventy.
My word to them is congratulation. . . You ought to be jubilant because life is a tremendous struggle, and, if you have got through respectably and usefully, you ought to feel like people toward the close of a summer day seated on the rocks watching the sunset.— Thomas De Witt Talmage
We can see the finish line. For a while, we have time to express thanks to the people and agencies who supported us and helped us survive. We have time to admire the sunset. We have the opportunity to solidify the legacies we will leave behind.

Great article. I look forward to 70 in 9 years.
I tried comparing my life through each generation in your article, and agree with each one. However, for the life of me I have no idea what my forties was like. Isn't it strange, losing memory of one entire generation of one's life? Also, I have yet to reach 70. I'm glad that you wrote this article because it allows everyone to compare their lives to it and to think back. We so rarely look back.
At some point you feel everything and every one around you has become simpler or easier. You have seen life through some of the toughest of decades. There you are now at a much peaceful time. Appreciate this time and you have shared with great wisdom.
Great article. I struggled through most of my decades. But now in my early 60s I find the struggles are less and the living more. Stepping out of the work race to nowhere helped tremendously. Having family close helps too. Last, but not least, good health is with me again. This is an article to come back and read again and again for the wisdom within. May you have a blessed and healthy 70th year.
I had never thought of aging as a privilege, but it is indeed. Thank you for that eye-opener.
I liked how you broke up the life experiences by the decade and the lessons learned therefrom. We can learn a lot from each passed decade of life and take a lesson or two from it for the coming decade.
Congratulations on reaching this milestone this year, Dora and may you remain healthy and happy in the coming years.
Congratulations, Dora. Time has taught you a lot, and we here at HP appreciate the fact that you regularly share your wisdom with us. Enjoy the next decade, my friend.
Awesome article and there is so much to take away from this. I liked how you touched every landmark age.
Aging gracefully and loving it, that is wisdom. Congratulations for turning seventy. Wish you good health, more happiness and more wisdom and a happy and content life always.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful article!
This is magnificent! I love the summaries of each decade and your perspective and reflections on each. There is much wisdom here and I appreciate you sharing it with us! :)
Ah Dora, this was spot on. Congrats on seven decades, We all know you here at hubpages as a very wise woman. Of all my HP friends you are one of the ones I would most like to meet face to face. I'm in my early 60s and know 70 will be here before I know it and I am at the point where birthdays are no longer an offense. I did not like turning 60, but two years have gone by and I am very comfortable with my age. Each day, week, month and year I am closer to heaven. We will meet there one day soon enough. A very enjoyable read Dora.
Dora, this is a wonderful explanation of aging and retrospect. I've just entered my 60's (I'll be 62 in March) and I can't believe I'm in my 60's! I certainly don't feel 61, although my outer appearance is testament to the decades I have behind me. That said, I had a blast getting here and will keep on truckin' as long as I'm able. I have settled down quite a bit and that's perfectly fine. I consider it the end to the means. I earned a slower pace. I earned the ability to make the choices I make today. I earned the luxury of doing absolutely nothing if that's what I choose. I've earned the right to answer to no one but myself.
Life is good!
Congrats on turning 70 this year, Dora. Let's have a party!
That's a very good point, Dora. If we go away on a city break and take in lots of different sights, it feels like we are away for a long time. Whereas if I am at home in routine, time flies.
Nice hub, Dora!
Words of wisdom, Dora! You've also given me impetus for a dilemma I have at the moment, so thank you for that.
I look back on good times and bad (I'm 67) but it's certainly a privilege to be able to look back at all!
I love the way you've presented this in such a clear, interesting and informative way. It made me think and it made me smile. Thank you, Dora.
This is a very interesting reflection on the decades. I think people in their seventies now have a much younger outlook on life than a generation or two ago. Or is that just because I am getting older? When I was a child the years seemed to pass so slowly. I feel that, as life has gone on, someone has pressed the fast forward button and life speeds by!
Thank you for sharing such interesting and thought-provoking ideas, Dora. I hope you have a very happy birthday when the day comes.
Wow, Dora! This article has certainly drawn a number of comments and I enjoyed reading it and those encouraging remarks. It's amazing how time passes so quickly, and the older we become the fast it seems to fly. Whatever our age, there is opportunity to celebrate - and grow, which is just as well, as near the end of this year I'll be eighty-eight, a tad over the seventy mark. Blessings to you for the coming year.
Dora, The 79 was a typo and certainly meant to be 70. I thought I check what I wrote, but I guess not. Sorry. Hapy 70th Birthday!
You've defined the life stages well. I have seen these in my own life. I am now close to 70, too and I am enjoying where I am at now. The early years were a struggle in knowing myself well, what my mission really was, the climb to the top and now, this is like being in a plateau and enjoying the scenery after the hard climb.
Hi Dora, I am embracing my 70s the best I can, still enjoying life and family. I love your article as it described many things associated with all of the past ages. I was in my mid-thirities when I got my bachelor's degree, so a slow start I guess, however, I loved working as an RN.
Happy 79th Birthday Dora!
Well here we sit, my friend, at seventy and loving life. The descriptions are pretty accurate. My thirties were a struggle for sure, but now, despite slowing up a bit, my life is full and I understand so much about love....thank you for this, and blessings to you always.
( Ecclesiastes 7:8 )
"The end of a matter is better than its begining, and patience is better than pride"
Remember reading in a book years ago, what ever project we're working on, always finish well.
This also applies to religions, faith groups & individuals as well. They may have had bad beginings, even speculating on dates, but in the end, God sees past all our messed up ways, and uses whoever he wishes, but its dufficult for God to do that if our thinking is Rigid, Set, even supporting old ways of thinking when God has moved on. If we want to see truth, ( we have to keep in step with Gods thinking, not mans )
Solomon learned a lot of lessons himself during his own lifetime, but verse 10 says,
"Do not say, Why were the old days better than these ?"
But as the quote says, "Anyone can start today and make a new ending"
Once again, good article.
Need a break.
This is a wonderful look at each decade of our lives MsDora, and I admit mine has been very much in tune with these descriptions. Each decade seems to speed by faster than the previous one, unfortunately, but we learn to make the most of our time rather than wasting it.
Keeping words few ( Very good article )
A belated happy birthday to you as you embark on your seventh decade of life. You are a lovely soul. I enjoyed your synopsis of the decades. I will be 50 in a few months and it feels like life is getting better. May that be true for you as well!
So beautifully said, Dora. One thing I am surprised about getting older is not losing hope, still looking forward to a future. In my forties, I would have not imagined 60s might be even better. We can grow at any age and it gives us youth of a sort.
So true about looking back at friends. That time never dies in our mind or in our hearts. I look forward to celebrating in my seventies! Thank you for that hope.
Hi, Ms. Dora,
This article is good for anyone at any age. It gives people some idea as to what to expect or some direction to go. Although I have decades to go until the age of 70, I enjoyed reading about the "big picture" you offer.
Loved it immensely.
Always well written, always full of good reliable information, and always something positive to think about as a reader reads your work.
...to embrace the privilege with joy." "We watered the good deeds so they could increase." "to learn and grow even as we age".
In my sixties I try to remember that at whatever cost of error it got me here which is exactly where I want to be. But now I temper such with the knowledge that I can still learn from my errors of the past.
Maybe having a wife near 20 years younger, yet more responsible and an eight year old who is wiser drop kicks me into a different goal.
Great stuff here to reflect on. And of course your writing is top notch. I have studied you as you integrate "citations" so brilliantly. Maybe by seventy i will get it down.

"I found the notion of an aggression towards homosexuality in Jamaica sad and regressive. To me the Gully Queens are emblematic of this injustice which is what led me to photograph them."
© tim walker
For the June issue of British Vogue, Tim Walker and Kate Phelan travelled to Jamaica, to discover the land of free spirits, lush countryside and the magic that lies within. In the colourful and captivating story, 'Jamaican Rhapsody', models Binx Walton, Fran Summers and Adut Akech are photographed alongside some of Kingston's most well-known personalities including Jamaican musicians, writers and poets. The same story also shines a spotlight on the self-titled "Gully Queens", named for the storm drains they have been forced to reside in as part of Jamaica's homeless and displaced LGBTQ community.
The Gully Queens have both physical and mental scars as a result of living on Jamaica's dangerous streets. Despite constant persecution and unwanted attention, "many of those from the gullies have a very natural way of expression through clothes, make-up and hair," explains Khi James, who helps run the Larry Chang Foundation which assists Jamaica's young and homeless LGBTQ people.
© tim walker
Disowned by family, threatened, stoned, attacked, and even shot, the Gully Queens are repeatedly evicted from spaces where they have sought refuge, and arsonists frequently set fire to their possessions. Since 2015, the Gully Queens charity has been able to secure a series of small grants that has allowed short term/emergency interventions by taking many of the homeless LGBTQ community off the streets. Larry Chang Foundation's programme is designed to reduce premature death and restore hope by providing shelter, psychosocial support, life skills training and employability workshops.

Inspired by the bold and brave spirits he met in Jamaica and to raise funds for those in desperate need, Tim Walker will be releasing 30 signed prints of the Gully Queens with the Michael Hoppen Gallery at Photo London 2018, with all proceeds to be donated to the Gully Queens charity. "I found the notion of an aggression towards homosexuality in Jamaica sad and regressive," Walker stated. "To me the Gully Queens are emblematic of this injustice which is what led me to photograph them. There is the chance, through photography, to give something that is very wrong in the world the visibility to make it right."

Mount Carmel Health System and Tennessee-based Acadia Healthcare have announced a joint venture agreement to develop a $26 million behavioral-health hospital in Columbus.
The announcement, dated today, July 24, didn't specify the location, but the new hospital will replace the current 20-bed inpatient psychiatric unit at Mount Carmel West, with a freestanding 80-bed inpatient behavioral-health hospital, quadrupling Mount Carmel's current capacity for inpatient mental-health services, according to the news release.
"There is a crucial need in our community for inpatient behavioral-health services," Sean McKibben, president of Mount Carmel West, said in the release. "It's critical to our mission that we expand our capacity of mental-health services to meet our community's needs. We searched long and hard for a partner that would share our commitment to our patients and providing behavioral health services in central Ohio. We found that in Acadia."
Construction on the new hospital is expected to begin this year.
A location is being finalized for the 64,300-square-fot facility, which will include three permanent units — geriatric, adult and dual diagnosis. A fourth unit will flex, based on specific community needs, according to the news release. Additional features include an activity therapy center and gymnasium, an outpatient therapy center, an electroconvulsive therapy center and outdoor activity yards. It's expected to open in fall 2018.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with Mount Carmel on this joint venture and bringing more behavioral health services to this community," Joey Jacobs, CEO and chairman of Acadia Healthcare, said in the release. "We have seen a need for inpatient mental-health services in this community. Mount Carmel's values and dedication to putting patients first made this partnership a great fit to do just that."
Emergency, outpatient and outreach services will remain at Mount Carmel West, 793 W. State St.
Meanwhile, Mount Carmel is building a new 210-bed hospital in Grove City, also set to open next year. It will join an emergency room, which is already open, and a 54,000-square-foot medical-office building.
Acadia had operated a network of 575 behavioral-health facilities with about 17,200 beds in 39 states, the United Kingdom and Puerto Rico, according to the news release. Acadia provides behavioral-health and addiction services to its patients in a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, outpatient clinics and therapeutic school-based programs.
Mount Carmel comprises more than 10,900 colleagues, 2,100 physicians and 900 volunteers at four hospitals — Mount Carmel East, Mount Carmel West, Mount Carmel St. Ann's and Mount Carmel New Albany.

A Thai man has been deported following his arrest for illegal entry into Cambodia, a Cambodian border official said yesterday.
Sophannahung That Theang, a 32-year-old from Thailand's Sisaket province, was arrested on Monday while riding his bike near Anlong Veng town in Oddar Meanchey province.
He carried just 20 baht and some clothes, but allegedly had a longer journey in mind.
"He told us he wanted to visit Phnom Penh," Touch Ra, deputy chief of the Cambodia-Thailand border relations office in Anlong Veng, said yesterday.
"He was sent back to Thailand on Tuesday because he entered Cambodia illegally," he said.
Touch Ra said he believed the man was mentally ill.
Meanwhile, Thai authorities repatriated the body of Huot Hang, 16, on Monday.
He was shot dead on January 23 by Thai soldiers who said he was logging illegally in Thai territory, Touch Ra said.

Now that the coronavirus has become a bleak reality for all of us, folks are scrambling to get their hands on hand sanitizer like the bottles were Furby toys in 1999.
With a nationwide shortage of hand sanitizer, a distillery in Kailua, HI, has taken to repurposing their facility in an effort to help produce more anti-bacterial gel for mass consumption during these strenuous times.
Oahu-based Ko'olau Distillery made the decision to pivot production and begin manufacturing hand sanitizer for critical services. The distillery has the capability to legally distill alcohol and is now aiming their production towards producing the base that's needed for hand sanitizer — which will be provided free of charge to first responders, health workers, and essential personnel during these trying times.
Ko'olau Distillery is best known for producing Old Pali Road, a high-quality whiskey that's been rated one fo the top 15 best craft whiskeys you can get for under $60 in the US.
CEO of the distillery Eric Dill said in a statement, "We realized that we are in the unique position to be able to help our community in this way; we are able to both make Old Pali Road whiskey AND produce hand sanitizer that meets WHO standards so that we can help our greater 'ohana' through this unprecedented situation." Dill believes that a product will be ready as early as March 25.
Ko'olau drew inspiration from other distilleries in the US who are doing the same during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Texas-based distillery Bendt Distilling Co. in Lewisville, Texas, has also shifted gears from creating their flagship Bendt No. 5 American Blended Whiskey and is producing free hand sanitizer for their employees, customers, local law enforcement, first responses, Meals on Wheels volunteers, and nearby businesses.

The numbers in Connecticut are horrific: 27 dead, 20 of them children. The shooter is dead, so we will never really know why this happened. What we do know is this: he acquired several weapons, entered a place where he knew he would encounter no resistance, and began to shoot. He made the decision to attack these people, reinforced that decision with each every step he took on his way to that school, with each time he pressed the gas pedal on his car, with each time he pulled the trigger. He had ample time and opportunity to stop this horrible act before it happened; and he could have stopped at any time up to the point he was killed.
In short: Those deaths were entirely the fault of the murder.
That seems to be lost in the almost orgasmic cries for more gun control coming from leftist politicians and their stooges in the media. The likes of Patton Oswald, Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin, Mia Farrow, Piers Morgan (again!) and others are tweeting, commenting, pontificating, and otherwise spouting off about the need to get weapons off the street.
Never mind that guns are already under pretty strict control, and crooks and lunatics get them anyway. Never mind that the kind of gun bans they want have led to more violence and crime everywhere they have been instituted. Never mind that the one place in America with their ideal gun control laws, Chicago, Illinois, is the murder capital of the planet. In fact, Chicago gets the equivalent to the Connecticut massacre nearly every month, sometimes in a single weekend, and that is in spite of the fact that the private ownership of handguns is all but illegal.
None of that matters to these people. Why? Because they are, at heart, either leftist statists, using this tragedy to further the disarmament of the American People; or they are cowardly weaklings, willing to give up their liberty (yours, too!) in return for some state-sponsored illusion of safety. If the former, they are little more than craven opportunists seeking some political advantage. If the latter, they are banking on a governmental system that revels in the fact that it is not responsible for the safety of any person, and that it cannot be held responsible when it fails to protect the people.
The real lesson here, as it is with all of these tragedies, is that gun control does not keep anyone safe, and that "gun free" zones are really just standing invitations for mayhem and violence. Ask yourself how many lives could have been saved had one or two of those teachers been armed. It is time we recognize that people need the ability to defend themselves anywhere and everywhere they go. It is time we get rid of these free mass murder zones, get rid of onerous gun control, and accept what Jefferson said so long ago, that an "armed society is a polite society."
I might add that it is also a safer society!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/1/2016 (1720 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You wouldn't know it to look at it, but the pearlescent bead on Morgan Di Martino's bracelet is made out of her breast milk.
Di Martino, 34, is a local jewelry designer. Her company, North Faun, specializes in breast milk and cremation jewelry. She can also transform other ephemera — a lock of hair, a baby blanket or a placenta, perhaps — into beautiful, wearable keepsakes. Talk about precious stones: Di Martino is quite literally working with the most sensitive material there is. Milk and birth, ashes and death. Lives already lived and those just beginning, both immortalized in clear, museum archival-quality resin.
Di Martino is a mother herself — to two girls, ages six and two — and had been working with resin for a long time. When her eldest daughter was an infant, she came across a website selling breast milk jewelry. While locks of a baby's hair have long been the stuff of scrapbooks, the idea of preserving breast milk in something that could be worn resonated with Di Martino.
"I really liked the idea of being able to capture a short period of time," she says. "It's a little bit different than saying, 'Oh, these are my wedding flowers I preserved.' You're still capturing a moment, but it's not quite the same. This is something that otherwise is really intangible."
What could be found online, however, was mostly ugly. So, she decided to make her own. It took a year to figure out how to do it — it's a trade secret, she says — but she and her friends were having babies, so there was no shortage of interest (and supplies). When her eureka moment came, "I felt like a genius," she says with a laugh. "I really did."
Di Martino knows that some might be squicked out by the premise, especially in a culture in which breastfeeding remains taboo and breast milk itself is often considered 'gross.'
"And that's fine — it's not for them," she says. "But the people who are into it find it really special."
The variations in colour, from bright white to buttery cream, are beautiful to behold on their own, but these pieces are about more than the source material.
"Lactating in and of itself isn't terribly special because we're mammals," Di Martino says. "But that time period can be really special.
"Right now my six year old is kind of a jerk sometimes — and, like, I have a piece of when she wasn't," she adds with a laugh.
Di Martino doesn't just do breast milk. Her six-year-old daughter wanted to take her baby blanket to school, and now she can: Di Martino made a piece of it into a pearl that she can wear every day. The soil from Di Martino's childhood home is embedded in a charm worn by her sister. She's currently extracting hair from curlers worn by her mother-in-law's sister (and best friend) who recently died for a piece that, even if unworn, is a more lovely tribute than a box of curlers in a garage.
Her passion lies in cremation jewelry. "I really love being able to give people something to commemorate loss by. I feel really strongly about it."
Di Martino wears a bead that includes her father's ashes. "It was really hard," she says. "That took me weeks to complete once I decided to do it. But I'd rather be able to wear this bead on a necklace than have him sit in a container on the shelf."
The work she does is sensitive, and she says she doesn't feel right promoting it. You'll notice a distinct lack of advertising and self promotion for North Faun on Facebook. Instead, she relies mostly on Instagram and word of mouth. "It feels a lot more intimate," she says.
It's not easy work, either. Di Martino recently made a pearl for a mother mourning a stillborn baby. The mother wanted her to use his newborn hat to add to a necklace she wears. Di Martino had to cut a piece out of it.
"I was terrified," she says. "I couldn't cut this thing. I couldn't cut into the only thing she had of her baby." Eventually, she talked herself into it. And the mother ended up loving the piece.
Di Martino is under pressure every time she does a new piece — "There are no do-overs in this jewelry," she says — but the payoff is worth it.
She recalls another recent client, another local mom whose adult son passed away a few months ago.
"To be able to give her baby as something to carry with her — and now I'm going to cry — it was really meaningful."

The U. S. spends more money on health care than any other country in the world, yet most Americans do no receive adequate health care. Many factors have contributed to this problem.
One major factor is cost. The price of health care has risen tremendously in the previous years and is expected to continue to rise in the years to come. Some reasons for the high cost of health care are technology, administrative costs, unnecessary care, and patient complexity. Technology plays an important role in the increasing health care costs, because it gets more and more expensive as new drugs, procedures and equipment are created.
Administrative costs, which include paying physicians, hospital bills, enrollment, marketing, and determining eligibility, also add up to a large sum of money. According to Peter Conrad's The Social Organization of Medical Care, cost administrative costs accounted for about 25% of the $738 billion health care expenditure in 1990, and the estimated savings in administrative costs for some proposed health care reforms is $31 billion to $67 billion. Although it is difficult to define which procedures are necessary and which are not, unnecessary procedures add to the cost of health care.
These procedures take away from the money needed to perform life-saving and emergency procedures. Also, it seems as though and more patients are seeking treatment with serious, life threatening conditions. Although not a major contributor to the cost of health care, complex surgeries and treatments begin to add up. In 1965, Lyndon B. Johnson created Medicare and Medicare to help benefit people who could not afford health insurance. Medicare, created to aid the elderly, and Medicaid, created to aid the poor, both help in a few ways, but in reality neither one covers enough to really benefit these people.
Medicare, which covers all adults age 65 and older, takes care of hospital costs, skilled nursing facilities, hospice and a few others. Unfortunately, many elderly people need prescription medication, orthopedic shoes, eye exams, dental work, and hearing aids, which Medicare does not cover. Medicare was created mainly for those with acute illnesses; therefore, those people who require long-term care, such as a nursing home, cannot afford the proper care.
The program does offer a supplemental plan in addition to the basic care it provides, but even though people may receive more care from the plan, it increasing yearly and it only pays for 80% of reasonable cost, which may not be enough for some of the older or poorer people. Medicaid covers under-privileged people. It allows those below and slightly above the poverty line to have access to the health insurance that they cannot afford. One immediate downside of Medicaid is for those who cannot afford their own health insurance, but make too much money to qualify for Medicaid.
Those people usually end up falling through the cracks, because they end up with no health insurance at all. Like Medicare, Medicaid only covers a limited amount of services, leaving off some potentially crucial procedures and treatments. Both the federal and state governments pay for Medicaid, which also causes problems. The state decides which people receive Medicaid, and which people don't, so when the state cannot afford Medicaid, it lowers the line and people are turned away. Unlike Medicare, Medicaid covers long term care, but it is extremely expensive.
It also covers prescription, which Medicare doesn't. Many doctors refuse to treat people with Medicaid because of the hassles they have to deal with when trying to get paid for their services, and when they finally get their payment, it is usually less than they expected. Some doctors work pro-bono, because they would rather do work for free than deal with Medicaid. There have been quite a few attempts to reform the health care system both comprehensively and incrementally. Early in the Clinton administration, Hilary Clinton propped idea to totally reform the health care system for the entire country.
Initially it failed, because the public did not want the government to get involved, but soon the public changed its mind. They went back to the government for help, and laws began to get passes. Slowly change began to happen. Each problem was dealt with separately. Many people believe that dealing with each problem separately won't work, but some states have already improved the state of their health care system. Hawaii, for example, passed a health care pact in 1974 that was based on employment. As long as people work 20 hours per week, they are entitled to health insurance.
They receive a basic package and the employer pays most, if not all, of the premium. In 1984 the plan was extended to part-time workers, seasonal workers, and the unemployed. When a company did no spend all the money allocated for health insurance, they were required to put the extra toward the insurance of the unemployed. When the program was first implemented, some business went out of business, but after a few years, everyone was settled into the program. Hawaii had since kept the program and in the late 1990's only 2% of the population was without health care coverage.
Another state to take health care into their own hands was Oregon. In 1989, the Oregon Plan was proposed, and in 1993 it was passed. The goal of this plan was to increase the number of people of Medicaid recipients. An employer mandate was made, which said that anyone who worked a certain amount of hours per week were entitled to health insurance paid for their employer. They also went out into the public and surveyed the people for three years on what they thought was the most important procedures and treatments.
After compiling all the information, a list was created ranking the most important to the least important. Medicaid would cover as much as it could starting with the top of the list. After this plan was installed, over 100,000 people were added to Medicaid. Other states have also come up with their own plans, and Congress has encouraged other states to be creative in coming up with ways to deal with the health care crisis. Having one of the worst health care systems in the world, the United States constantly looks to other countries for ideas.
Canada is always looked at because of the similarities to the U. S. , and it's very successful health care plan. The federal government grants the provinces 40% of the cost s of medical care. The provinces receive the grant as long as their health insurance covers all citizens, covers all conventional hospital and medical care, is accessible, is recognized and accepted by all other provinces, and is controlled by a public non-profit organization. Annual meetings between the federal government and the provincial governments are held to determine budgets and the allocation of money.
Under Canada's health insurance program everyone gets covered and everyone shares the same risks and costs. This policy is not job related. People can go to the doctor of their choice, but must see a primary care physician in order to be referred to a specialist. Although Canada's health care program is exemplary, it has a few problems that often arise. Even with an appointment, someone may be put on a waiting list and wait for hour before being seen by a doctor. There is also a very high income tax, which is the price the Canadians pay for such an excellent system.
I think that the best way to change the problem with health care in the United States is thorough incremental, state-by state change. Each state should for a Health Care Reform Committee whose only goal is to get health care to all those who cannot afford it. One way of doing this would be for the state to conduct a survey. Like the census, this survey must get to every person in the state. In the survey, people would answer questions about their current financial status, their financial history, whether they have insurance or not, what kind of insurance the have etc.
From the data collected, the Health Care Reform Committee would examine would meet and discuss the problems and patterns they see from the survey results. The committees must then come up with different ideas for health care reform that meets to needs of their state. Different states have different needs, so each state's committee must come up with a plan that works best for them. After discussing and creating ideas, the committee should implement the plan in which they have decided on.
If it looks like the plan is working, they should stick with it, but if not, the committee will have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better idea. Like any health care proposal, this idea had its downsides. One major one is the time that will be needed for this process to occur. There would not be any visible changes for quite a few years. Also, once the plan had been tried, it may not have a positive effect and all the past years spent working on it would have been a waste. Another problem is that like the census, it is not definite that every person living in the states will be surveyed.
The committee will have people doing door-to-door and seeking people out, but there is always a chance that people can get overlooked. The United States health care system is in a horrible state that is only getting worse as time goes by. The current plans are semi-helpful, but still do not cover nearly as many people and problems that the country has. The United States needs to follow in the footsteps of our neighboring countries or the states that have taken upon them selves to make change. Whether it is a national change or small state changes, our country needs to do something to better the health care system…

As some of you know, I've been toying with buying a new car and have stumbled upon something that I find very disturbing.
On the test drive, the nice sales woman pointed out the button on the dash. Apparently, if I had an accident, or witnessed an accident, I just need to press the button and someone (don't know who) will be alerted. With even more safety in mind, if I was incapacitated in said crash, the car would automatically contact someone.
I didn't think any more on this but after a google search I have found this:
From March 2018 every new car sold in the European Union will legally have to be equipped with eCall technology.
This will consist of a 'black box' that detects a crash and automatically calls the emergency services for help.
This box is also fitted with a GPS sensor so it can send the car's precise location to the control room.
Motorists will be unable to switch it off and it will be tested in MoT checks.
Emma Carr, of civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, said: 'Motorists will not be comfortable forcibly having a black box installed which is capable of recording and transmitting their exact location when they are driving.'
Is anyone else deeply concerned about this?

EU leaders call for urgent action against disinformation
BRUSSELS - Eurοpean Uniοn leaders called fοr urgent actiοn to cοmbat fake news οn the Internet at a summit οn Friday, saying mοre needed to be dοne to safeguard next year's EU electiοn against disinfοrmatiοn.
The bloc's 28 heads of state backed a plan to help stop what the United States, NATO and the EU say are Russian attempts to undermine Western demοcracies with disinfοrmatiοn campaigns that sow divisiοn. Russia has repeatedly denied any such actiοn.
The plan calls fοr an early warning system to alert gοvernments and tech giants such as Facebοok and Google to do mοre to remοve misleading οr illegal cοntent.
"Swift and decisive actiοn at bοth Eurοpean and natiοnal level" is needed to ensure fair electiοns to the Eurοpean Parliament in May 2019, the EU summit's cοnclusiοns said.
"The spread of deliberate, large-scale, and systematic disinfοrmatiοn, including as part of hybrid warfare, is an acute and strategic challenge fοr our demοcratic systems," the statement said. "It requires an urgent respοnse."
The EU executive's plan, endοrsed by gοvernments, will hand mοre mοney and pοwer to regulatοrs in Brussels to mοnitοr and flag Russian disinfοrmatiοn. It increases funds fοr the fοreign service EEAS fοr this to 5 milliοn eurοs frοm 1.9 milliοn in 2018.

This lesson provides information that will assist teams in developing adaptations to the Check-In, Check-Out (CICO) intervention to make it appropriate for implementation at the High School level. While many of the basic principles are the same, there are modifications that will need to be considered due to the age of the students and the structure and size of the high school setting.
It is recommended that teams planning for High School implementation view this lesson prior to developing the CICO components as outlined on the Check-In, Check-Out Intervention Development Checklist and its accompanying lessons. This will allow for the consideration of adaptations for High School implementation as the Check-In, Check-Out lessons are completed.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Develop CICO Adaptations for High School Implementation.
This lesson is for Tier 2 teams in a High School setting that have developed their Tier 2 systems and have completed the CICO Introductory Overview.
Systems in place should include: 1) Tier 2 team roles and responsibilities, 2) identifying students for Tier 2 support, 3) collecting student information to make informed decisions and determine function of behavior, and 4) staff training and communication. Refer to Courses 1-4 for information about developing these systems.
Reflective Questions
- Why would Check-In, Check-Out need to be adapted for a High School setting?
- What might be some possible adaptations to consider?

David Hasselhoff Scrooge show coming to Birmingham axed due to production issues
Fans have been left disappointed after it was announced a family-fun performance in Birmingham based around A Christmas Carol has been cancelled.
Scrooge: A Funny Family Spectacular was scheduled as a children-friendly festive show at the Resorts World Arena from December 20 to 24.
It was due to star Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff as the lead role of Ebenezer Scrooge alongside a hologram of Birds of a Feather star Pauline Quirke at Resorts World Arena. But Arena bosses announced that the show had been cancelled due to production issues.
People who have bought tickets are being urged to contact Resorts World Arena for full refunds.
A 100-strong cast of West End actors, dancers, acrobats, musicians and comedians was set to join the US TV legend on stage for the Christmas spectacle.
A spokesman for Resorts World Arena said: "Regretfully, the current tour dates for Scrooge: A Funny Family Spectacular have been cancelled due to production issues.
"All tickets purchased online or over the phone will be refunded, if you purchased using cash then please return your tickets to the point of sale for a full refund.
"We apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience that this cancellation may cause."
One audience member was set to win £3,000 in cash during each date of the UK tour. Before the cancellation, David Hasselhoff had said he had "dreamt" of playing Scrooge for a long time.
He said: "The great thing about this is that it's not a panto, it's a fully-fledged Christmas show.
"It's the Dickens' classic with great music on a spectacular scale in huge arenas.
"But just imagine coming to see the show and walking away with £3,000.
"That's pretty incredible. Even though Scrooge is a mean baddie, he's a fun guy, you know?"
