Florida Gun Ban SHATTERED—Courts Drop Bombshell | Newsworthy

A Special Deal:
In a moment of peril, Florida lawmakers allowed Citizens, its home insurer of last resort, to take disputes before judges whose salaries it funds.
Winning Record: Citizens has taken more than 1,500 insurance disputes to mandatory arbitration, where it wins more than 90% of final hearings.
In court it wins just over half the time.
Systemic Issues: Citizens says the process is fast, cheap and fair.
Homeowners say the forum violates their rights.

A Florida Home Insurer Was Allowed to Bypass the Courts During Claim Disputes. It Won More Than 90% of the Time.
State legislators and executives at Citizens Property Insurance touted mandatory arbitration as advantageous for both consumers and insurers. In practice, homeowners were left with few avenues for recourse when their claims were denied.

We had lunch today with longtime friends who have a time share condo in Florida, where they have spent time every January going back 20 years. The husband doesn't think it's a big deal to continue going. The wife doesn't want to go back as she thinks boycotting U.S. travel is the right thing to do. It was obviously a sore spot between them, so we kinda changed the subject. But not before we made it clear that we won't set foot in the USA as long as the orange moron is president.

Strong and weak solutions to a structural acoustic model with a $C^1$ source term on the plate
In this manuscript, we consider a structural acoustic model consisting of a wave equation defined in a bounded domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^3$, strongly coupled with a Berger plate equation acting on the flat portion of the boundary of $Ω$. The system is influenced by an arbitrary $C^1$ nonlinear source term in the plate equation. Using nonlinear semigroup theory and monotone operator theory, we establish the well-posedness of both local strong and weak solutions, along with conditions for glo…

and that much of the facility be dismantled.
