Recently, a state appellate court issued a written opinion in a Georgia workers' compensation and personal injury case discussing whether the defendant employer could be held liable for failing to provide medical care to the injured employee-plaintiff after he was injured on the job. Ultimately, the court concluded that the "sole remedy" provision of the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act precluded the plaintiff's claim.
According to the court's opinion, the plaintiff was injured in a Georgia car accident while he was working for the defendant. The exact details of the crash are not particularly crucial to the case. However, after the accident, the plaintiff claims that his employer denied him access to medical care and insurance, which delayed his treatment. The plaintiff claimed this delay aggravated his injuries, eventually resulting in the plaintiff suffering several strokes. The plaintiff filed a personal injury case against his employer.
The employer argued that the sole-remedy provision to the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act precluded the plaintiff's ability to bring the claim. The sole-remedy provision states that "the rights and the remedies granted to an employee by this chapter shall exclude . . . all other rights and remedies . . . and all other civil liabilities whatsoever at common law or otherwise, on account of such injury, loss of service, or death." Essentially, the sole remedy provision prevents an employee from pursuing a personal injury case against an employer if they can also bring a workers' compensation claim.
The court began its analysis by noting that for the sole-remedy provision to apply, the employer must show 1.) that the injury occurred in the course of employment, and 2.) arise out of employment. Here, the parties argued over whether the injury occurred while the plaintiff was acting within the scope of his employment. However, the court noted that the relevant inquiry was the aggravation of the plaintiff's injuries, explaining that "the aggravation by continued work of a previous injury is a 'new accident.' " The court went on to explain that "aggravation of a pre-existing condition is compensable even when the pre-existing condition is not work-related." Thus, when the employee's injuries were aggravated by a failure to obtain medical treatment, this aggravation was "work-related." Because the injury was work-related, the plaintiff's claim was recognizable under the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act, and thus, he was precluded from filing a personal injury case against his employer.

Westside Market
As shoppers peruse the aisles of Westside Market – be it one of the grocer's three locations in New York City or its Maywood, N.J., branch – they'll catch glimpses of owner John Zoitas' family roots, whether it's one of his children overseeing the day-to-day operations of a particular store or a specialty food item imported from his native Greece.
After migrating to the United States at age 17, Zoitas started out in the grocery industry as a stock boy, slowly working his way up in the business until he saved enough money to buy the store from his previous employer. In 1969, he opened the first Westside Market location at 2844 Broadway in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Morningside Heights.
Due to the construction of a high-rise condo building above the original location, Westside Market was forced to close its Morningside Heights store in 2004 much to the distress of long-term neighborhood shoppers, who went as far as to write sentimental messages on the boarded-up store indicating how much they missed the Zoitas.
Although Westside Market already had two additional stores in New York City and one in New Jersey, it was anxious to reopen its Morningside Heights, N.Y., store, which it did in 2007. Today, each store operates independently, "so we are able to maintain our mom-and-pop values that are instilled in our organization," says John's daughter, Anna Zoitas, who runs the 77th Street and Broadway location. Her brother, George Zoitas, manages the newest store, and their brother-in-law, Demetri Belesis, oversees Westside Market's 4th Street and 7th Avenue location along with John Antonopoulos.
"It is these values that have made us so successful," she continues. "In this business, you lose attentiveness to customer needs when you try to centralize, so we continue to operate independently. Even if they don't carry the name 'Zoitas,' our employees are still family."
House Specialties
John Zoitas was born and raised on a farm in Ourpakia, a village situated on the lush, mountainous island of Lefkada, Greece. His background has led to a lifelong appreciation for fresh produce, which is evident to anyone who passes a Westside Market. According to Anna Zoitas, the staff takes great pains to make sure all fruits and vegetables displayed outside the store's entrances are impeccably arranged and that any item with a bruise or blemish is promptly removed.
Since the Zoitas' farm in Ourpakia also cultivated olives, it is no coincidence that one of Westside Market's many house specialties is its olive bar featuring more than 20 varieties of imported olives specially marinated with one of the family's exclusive recipes. The grocer also offers more than 500 types of imported and domestic cheese, bakery items that are hand selected from local artisanal bakeries, sushi wrapped and rolled daily, and a fresh fruit and salad bar.
Unique mixtures of vegetables for a soup mix or stir-fry and medleys of exotic fruits and cheeses are introduced daily to draw customers in, Zoitas says. "Innovation is done daily at the store level," she states.
The prepared foods section is another popular department among locals because everything is made fresh by John's wife, whose recipes were passed down from multiple generations until Maria reinvented them with an "up-to-date flair" to meet the needs of the modern consumer, Zoitas says.
"My mother was also born on the island of Lefkada and was raised eating traditional meals with no chemicals or preservatives," she notes. "This is how she cooks and how she's trained the staff to prepare the food. Right now, there's a shift towards more healthy, natural food. So, she brought in a lot of the old recipes, such as wheat berry granola, almond pudding or Moussakah, and redefined them to fit today's health needs."
New Ventures
In addition to the many private label packaged foods offered by the Westside Market brand, the company launched The Artisanal Kitchen™ in January, with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and coffee among the first products.
Above all else, Westside Market intends to remain a friendly neighborhood grocer. "We are not your overpriced gourmet store," Zoitas maintains. "We are family owned and operated, so there is a strong commitment behind what we offer and what we do for our customers."

In many states, there are circumstances where a person who was injured by an intoxicated individual can sue the person or business that provided the alcohol. When a claim is against an alcohol vendor (like a restaurant, bar, or liquor store) it's sometimes called a "dram shop" claim because alcohol used to be sold by a unit of measurement called a "dram." When a non-vendor is sued for supplying the alcohol to an intoxicated person who subsequently causes an accident, it's often referred to as a "social host liability" claim.
In this article, we'll take a look at dram shop and social host laws in Missouri, as they apply to alcohol-related accidents in the state.
Missouri's dram shop law allows an injured party to seek damages against an alcohol vendor who provided alcohol to a person he or she:
The dram shop law defines "visibly intoxicated" as "inebriated to such an extent that the impairment is shown by significantly uncoordinated physical action or significant physical dysfunction."
The law specifies that a "visibly intoxicated" person is one who shows "significantly uncoordinated physical action or significant physical dysfunction."
Unlike many other states, which allow dram shop claims against any licensed alcohol vendor, Missouri's law specifies that dram shop cases in the state can only be brought against a vendor "licensed to sell intoxicating liquor by the drink for consumption on the premises." In other words, dram shop claims can be filed against Missouri bars, taverns, and restaurants that sell alcoholic beverages, but not against convenience stores or shops that sell packaged alcohol in the state.
Here is an example of how Missouri's dram shop laws might apply. Suppose that Dena stops at Bob's Bar on her way home from work. After having several drinks, she is significantly slurring her speech, announces that she's seeing double, and begins to weave unsteadily when she walks. Nevertheless, Bob the Bartender continues to serve her drinks. Eventually, Dena tries to get up from her barstool but falls over, colliding with Penny, who is standing at the bar. Penny is knocked to the ground and is injured.
Penny can file a personal injury claim directly against Dena for causing the injuries. She can also choose to file a dram shop claim against Bob's Bar since the bartender continued to serve Dena while she was visibly intoxicated.
In most personal injury cases, the injured person must prove that the defendant in the case caused the injuries by a "preponderance of the evidence." This standard asks whether it was more likely than not that the defendant was the cause of the plaintiff's injuries.
Dram shop claims in Missouri, however, are held to a higher standard. In a dram shop claim, the injured plaintiff must prove his or her claim by "clear and convincing evidence."
Currently, Missouri does not allow an injured person to sue a social host who provides alcohol to someone who then causes injuries, even if the person who caused the injuries was visibly intoxicated or was under the age of 21.
Damages in a Missouri dram shop case are generally intended to compensate the injured person for losses related to the injury. Medical bills, lost wages, the value of household services the injured person couldn't perform, costs for repairing or replacing damaged property, and pain and suffering are all typical categories of damages that may be recoverable by the plaintiff in a Missouri dram shop lawsuit.
Like other states, Missouri has a statute of limitations that sets a time limit for filing dram shop and other injury claims. These cases must be filed in Missouri's civil court system within five years of the date of injury. But, given that each situation is different, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible after an injury to ensure your legal rights are protected.

Allenhurst Failure To Yield To Pedestrians
The Allenhurst Police Department has set up a "pedestrian decoy" program designed to target motorists who do not give pedestrians the right of way at designated crosswalks. The summons carries a $200 fine and two points, since it is considered a moving violation. The decoy program in Allenhurst is meant to help keep pedestrians safe during the summer months. A few Allenhurst police officers took the pedestrian decoy class offered by the state a few months ago in Freehold. A legal stop is defined by the speed limit in the area of the stop. For example, along the program's guidelines, fair warning for a car traveling in a 25 mph zone is 102. It takes two police officers to run the program. One acts as the pedestrian while another waits in a patrol car a few hundred feet down the road. If the driver of the car fails to stop, a quick call on the radio from the plain-clothed officer alerts the officer in the patrol car of the violation. That officer then pulls the offender over and issue them a summons for "failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk." If you get one of these tickets and want an advocate with experience to fight for you call Tom Ehrlich 732-223-8480.

How are payday advances not the same as traditional loans from banks?
The response to this concern could be provided having a few items that are various for them such as for example:
- Time to process – These loans simply just take on a daily basis or no more than two times in rare cases for approval and a time that is similar the funds become credited for your requirements. The total time a mortgage will require through the time you begin the job procedure towards the time you will get the income is going to be means greater than this.

By the end of this thirty days, we find ourselves empty-pocketed. Such circumstances you are able to aim for such pay day loan, but, usually do not allow it to be a habit that is regular.
The theory that you ought to get through the above two examples is the fact that these loans ought to be utilized only once you will find economic requirements with no other methods to get cash.

Gut failure is associated with the inability to maintain energy, protein, carbohydrate, lipid, fluid, electrolytes, or micronutrient balances with volitional intake. Gut failure has numerous etiologies of both medical and surgical nature, but most the common is Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS), resulting from surgical resection. Gut failure can be defined as "symptoms and pathophysiologic state associated with inadequate nutrient assimilation as a result of surgical or medical etiology." The primary goal in the management of gut failure is to achieve gut autonomy, obtaining adequate nutrient balance without parenteral nutrition (PN) supplementation. In addition to the macro and micronutrients provided by PN, fluid and electrolyte replacements are critical to success in attaining gut autonomy. Pharmacologic management must also be considered, and generally involves the use of antidiarrheal/antimotility medications, antisecretory medications, and mucosal growth factors. It should be noted that in situations of gut failure, PN should be considered early and anticipated to be a temporary solution to obtaining adequate nutrition, while concurrent attempts to utilize remaining viable intestine are made. When transitioning PN from hospital to home settings, it is essential that patients and family members providing support are educated on catheter care, infection prevention, hydration, electrolyte, and glycemic control, and the consequences resultant from failure to comply with instructions. Long-term PN use can result in a number of chronic conditions, including hepatic and biliary complications, catheter-related sepsis and thrombosis, renal dysfunction, memory deficit, and metabolic bone disease. Other treatments for gut failure include the use of Octreotide analogs, which have an antidiarrheal effect resulting in the reduction of fluid and electrolyte loss.

Hello readers,
We learned a lot today. We started the day by going to VinaCapital. VinaCapital is an investment firm in Saigon that supports and takes advantage and supports the country's intense economic growth in very interesting ways. We learned that the company manages a total of 1.8 billion US dollars. One of their funds, which they are now winding down, is based on the infrastructure of the country. These projects would make sense since the country is constantly trying to improve its structure, especially because of the constant increase in population and the incredible traffic jams that the city experiences. This fund, however, turned out to not be sustainable. The professionals we talked to gave the reason that infrastructure is way too long-term when thinking of when you're going to actually make money on the investment. The company is also in a very interesting situation when it comes to deciding what to invest in. Many companies within the country are still partially or totally held by the government. In the case of these companies, VinaCapital would not be able to invest in them as easily as something more liquid. With this said, VinaCapital uses liquidity as a measuring point for how easily it can invest in company or industry. Overall, government regulation can be extremely inefficient, especially economically. From what the professionals said, the government would gladly exchange efficient economic growth for a stable social situation. The government's mindset is that faster growth requires a more free market economy. With more growth comes a widening gap between the rich and the poor. A large income gap leads to social unrest. Because of this mindset, the company believes freer, more liquid companies are better potential investments.
After the company visit, we had our Vietnamese language and culture classes. We learned numbers and how to buy things today. This will be useful tomorrow when we go to the market. Our culture class was very fast paced and interesting. We talked a little about the religions in Vietnam, which we'll learn more about tomorrow. We also learned about modern Vietnam and its relationship to the rest of the world. Although today's company visit was a little more complicated than the others, it was still extremely interesting and very important to understanding Vietnam as a whole.
Thank you for reading,

Santa Clara County
all photos & text by Don Roberson
all photos taken in California
Lesser Black-backed Gull
28 Nov 1997 at Lake Cunningham
Clara County is a heavily-populated county at the south end of San
Francisco Bay. The city of San Jose is centered in the Santa Clara
Valley, now an urban and light industrial area that once was famed for
its orchards and before that was the wheat-growing center of the new state
of California. There are famed wildlife reserves at Palo Alto and Alviso,
and an important banding station along Coyote Creek (San Francisco Bay
Bird Observatory). San Francisco Bay NWR holds important breeding colonies
of egrets, terns, and gulls. Despite the urbanization, there is much wilder
country to the east and south, in state parks and open spaces in both the
Diablo Range (where Mt. Hamilton dominates) and in the Santa Cruz Mountains
to the west.
County birding statistics and links are on Joe Morlan's site. Field work for a breeding bird atlas has been completed, but the project has not yet been published.
| For Santa Clara County the prime photo is
of a returning vagrant that we chased: a Lesser Black-backed Gull at Lake
Cunningham in San Jose. It is in its second cycle and has already acquired
a pale eye [it returned for additional winters]. Of the various shots I
took, I liked this one with an American Coot crossing behind, going in
the opposite direction. Although I have photographed other vagrants in
SCL (e.g., Glossy Ibis, Williamson's Sapsucker), I've chosen two common
birds from the Palo Alto Baylands to round out the county page: Snowy Egret
(sitting on the boardwalk railing at high tide, 1 Dec 1986) and an adult
Ring-billed Gull (16 Jan 1979).
|A favorite birding spot is the Palo Alto Baylands refuges with its trails and boardwalks out into the marsh. They are particularly popular during the highest winter tides of the year, when rails (especially Clapper Rail and Black Rail), and rare winterers like Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow, are forced into view by rising waters. It is a stressful time for the rails, especially when egrets and gulls start picking them off. The view below shows such a high tide on 1 Dec 1986.

The House of Radical Abundance
Flamingo Estate is the glamorous 7-acre home and apothecary with golden-era...
The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of
Of all the luxuries offered at the Four Seasons, this mattress might just be the...
As he bounds into an airy meeting room in his central Amsterdam studio complex, Marcel Wanders looks every bit the design superstar. Dressed in a Paul Smith tuxedo-jacketed suit that has become his work-life uniform over the years, he is tall, tan, and upbeat, with thick hair an almost unnerving shade of shimmering silver. "I've just ordered a new one of these," he says pulling at his jacket lapel. "It will be my fourth!" His immaculate white shirt is 17 years old. "I had 20 of them made in India. They just don't wear out."
Neither, it seems, does Wanders. The Dutch-born designer first made his name at the Milan Furniture Fair in 1996 with an ingenious chair made of knotted rope that is still in production (there's even a version that is dipped in gold). Over the following 20 years, he has expanded his repertoire from furnishings—his style marries traditional concepts like a plush sofa or a decorated plate with contemporary wit—to a world of design that ranges from residential and commercial interiors to baby monitors, watches, and even air-pollution masks.
Wanders collaborates with a wide variety of companies, and this year he's on overdrive: His studio created a bath collection for Laufen whose pieces have rims curved as gently as a flower petal; an incredibly lightweight chaise for Louis Vuitton's series of Objets Nomades; outdoor pieces for Spanish brand Vondom; flamboyant rugs, sofas, and consoles for Roche Bobois; and home fragrances for Alessi.
"So much in design is presented as a big miracle when it's just a repetition of what's been happening for 80 years," he says. "Design has to have a spark of current culture or technical innovation. We're in a strange era of neo-humanism. It's holistic and nonrational." In other words, we're living in a world that's full of contradictions: We're obsessed with technology and have abandoned old ways of living, but still want an authentic connection to the things we buy. His recent wall coverings for his own furnishings brand, Moooi, are classic Wanders and exemplify this line of thought. The works feature extinct species—striped quaggas, blushing sloths— that are derived from zoological drawings he found in museum archives. It's a reminder "to hold on to what is lost, to celebrate it," he says.
Lately, the polymath has been expanding his outlook, spending time in various cities around the world, including Milan and Budapest. "It's the 21st century," he says. "I can rent a house anywhere and still communicate with my office." Does he travel light? "I take almost nothing and buy nothing," he says. "The things I own are sacred." Interiors have become a large part of Wanders's portfolio. In Doha, Qatar, he recently completed the Mondrian hotel, a fantasy of gilded Islamic patterning, glass mosaic tiles, and chandeliers that drip down to the carpet. It is, says Wanders, reflective of his belief in design for all: "Opulence doesn't cost more than boring." Besides, he couldn't do boring if he tried.
This boundless curiosity led him to earn an MBA from a school in Paris in 2014. "All my clients are in business, and I advise them. I wanted to know how they think," he says. In 2015, he interned for three months with IDEO, a tech consultancy in San Francisco. "In tech, people want an object for what's inside it, what it does. You need to make a defensive design that people won't walk away from," he says. "A chair is aggressive—you want a customer to choose it from many others." In San Francisco, he went on to work in venture capital, funding Oculus Rift, and developed a baby sock that monitors an infant's heartbeat as a way to prevent sudden infant death syndrome. But the city didn't really suit him.
"Everyone goes to bed at 10 p.m.!" he says, appalled. If Silicon Valley taught Wanders to look forward, his time in northern Italy grounded him in tradition. After all, it's still a region that treats furniture making as serious craft. He also learned Italian— fluently, of course. His new collections for Natuzzi are inspired by Puglia, the rustic southern region where the company was founded and is still based today. Despite costing Natuzzi millions more to manufacture in a rural area, the company's owners are staying put.
"That social program really excites me," he says. His collections for them, Agronomist and Oceanographer, reflect the region's connections to both land and sea; the pieces have a tactility that is more country house than urban apartment, a subtle departure for the brand. Pasquale Junior Natuzzi, the son of the brand's founder, says that choosing Wanders was obvious. "We believe that values should come first," says Natuzzi. "When we share them, everything will go well."

Based on the 4/26 RamTalk — "The library needs a workout room… ya know, so you can work out your school frustrations."
Editor's note: This column is satire, though if the library ever does add a workout room we'll be sure to cover it extensively.
The library: A great place to study up on ancient Roman literature, progressive poetry and, oh yes, bi's, tri's and thighs. In a recent study conducted by the Health and Exercise Science Department here at CSU, it has been discovered that working out in the library increases attention span by 30 percent and decreases stress by 220 percent. In addition to breaking a mental sweat, students should break a real sweat each time they choose to visit the old book barn.
The CSU library has taken this news and run with it. With a low budget, however, they have been forced to use classic literature to accommodate the physical needs of their student body's bodies. They are using copies of War and Peace as well as The Encyclopedia Britannica for the clean and jerk, Of Mice and Men provides a great running dumbbell and of course the entire World Atlas series is being used as weight for squats. Literate meat heads could not be more enthused.
Sophomore train studies major Jackwey Brocksonn is large and in charge, but enjoys a good evening read to cap things off.
"There's never enough time to hit the gym and hit the books," Brocksonn said. "It makes me so ANGRY! I want to be JACKED, but also SMART! AAAAAHHHHH!" He proceeded to break a desk over his knee and write about it in his daily journal.
Sophomore walking major, Mya Matews, is a raving fan of the beefed up library.
"Finally," Matews said, "a place where I can read and smell hundreds of body odors at the same time. A true paradise on Earth."
Although all future implications of the library gym hybrid center cannot be assessed at the moment, it is certain that CSU will indeed be the smartest and fittest campus in the nation in no time. Other schools will be envious of our brawn as well as our brains. Buns of steel, meet literary appeal.

December issue 2002
The Prime of Mr Jamali
By Shahzada Zulfiqar | News & Politics | Published 21 years ago
In the absence of any PML-Q nominees from Punjab and Sindh for the PM's slot, Balochistan can now boast, for the first time in Pakistan's history, of its own Prime Minister — Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali.
Jamali had been in the running for the PM's position 17 years ago, but his premiership hopes were dashed by military ruler General Zia-ul-Haq, who opted for the late Junejo, in a calculated move intended to pacify anti-Islamabad feelings among Sindh in the wake of Z.A. Bhutto's execution.
Now, almost two decades later, in another close call, it is at the hands of another military government that Jamali has proved victorious. Analysts contend that he might not have been chosen had the PML-Q managed to reach a compromise deal with the PPP Parliamentarians. Interestingly, his appointment has not been welcomed in Balochistan's political circles, except by the PML-Q.
The nationalist parties have expressed scepticism over contentions that Jamali was made premier because he hails from Balochistan, and doubt his ability to implement any sustainable solutions to the manifold problems of the province. "As Jamali has become premier on a weak wicket, he will be busy trying to keep his job intact, and will find little time to devote to his people. It is clear that those who brought him into office will use him for their own interests," says Sardar Akhtar Mengal, former chief minister and president of the Balochistan National Party (BNP). He also claims that a pending corruption reference against Jamali had been withdrawn by expunging the court's remarks against him. Abdur Rahim Mundokhail, vice-chairman of the Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami party, voices similar apprehensions. "It is unfortunate that a Baloch will be used for helping a military dictator tighten his grip over the political affairs in the country in order to prolong his dictatorial regime," he said. Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, Jamali's mentor, meanwhile, has preferred, to maintain a dignified silence on the subject.
Known as Jabal Khan to his family, 58-year-old Mir Zafarullah Jamali is the son of a tribal landlord Mir Shahnawaz Khan, who hails from a family of Muslim Leaguers. Jamali was born in 1944 in Naseerabad (Balochistan) and received his primary schooling from Lawrence College, Ghora Gali, followed by 'A' Levels from Aitchson college, Lahore. He went on to study for a bachelor's degree from Government College and was awarded a master's degree in political science from Punjab University in 1965. He was also a keen sportsman and was on his school and university's hockey teams.
Jamali took part in the 1970 elections for the first time, but was defeated by Sardar Chakar Khan Domki. He was then elected MPA in the 1977 elections on a PPP ticket. After the imposition of martial law, he joined hands with Zia-ul-Haq and was accommodated in the federal cabinet as state minister. He took part in the party-less polls of 1985, and became MNA from the Naseerabad division. Although an aspirant for the prime minister's slot, he was included in the federal cabinet and assigned the portfolio of water and power in the Junejo government.
Zafarullah Khan was appointed caretaker chief minister of Balochistan in 1988, when General Zia dismissed the Junejo government and dissolved the assemblies. He was elected to the provincial assembly during Benazir's tenure, and became the chief minister with the casting vote of speaker. Jamali advised the governor to dissolve the assembly within a month, probably at the behest of then Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, after one of his minister's defected to the JUI-BNA opposition bloc headed by Nawab Akbar Bugti.
It was Jamali who proposed the name of Nawab Akbar Bugti as leader of the house when the assembly met for the first time in February 1989, after its restoration in the wake of the Balochistan High Court verdict. He ran for a National Assembly seat in the1990 elections, but was defeated by arch political rival, PPP nominee, Mir Nabi Bakhsh Khoso. As the PML's nominee in the1993 polls, however, the tables turned and Khoso was defeated. Jamali was once more appointed caretaker chief minister in 1997 upon which he nominated his elder son Faridullah Jamali to the National Assembly, preferring to go to the upper house himself.
Considered a sharp but accommodating politician, Jamali has remained loyal to the Muslim League throughout his political career. He is also known for his affinity with the military. Jamali's paternal uncle, Mir Jaffar Khan Jamali, a well known Leaguer in Balochistan, was a close associate of Quaid-e-Azam, who was also his lawyer.
Despite his cool demeanour, numerous incidents indicate that Zafarullah is a man to be reckoned with. When Mir Faiq Ali Jamali, one of Zafarullah's political pupils, dared to challenge him upon becoming a provincial minister in 1997, Faiq's attempts to discredit his former guru remained unsuccesful. He is now in jail on corruption charges. Another of Zafarullah's nephews, Mir Jan Mohammad Jamali, also suffered a similar fate when he tried to challenge his uncle's leadership upon becoming chief minister of Balochistan in 1999. Accused of corruption, he was shipped off to Dubai for one and a half year to avoid being arrested, and it was finally Mir Jabal himself who came to his rescue. After negotiating some "concessions," Jan Mohammad Jamali is now a MPA.
One of the most crucial period's of Jamali's life, which resulted in serious disputes within the family, involved his decision to dispose off the family's ancestral property in order to treat his ailing elder son who needed a liver transplant. Jamali has four sons, among whom two are captains in the army, and a daughter who is married to Humayun Wardag, the son of one of his closest friends,the late Sardar Ayub Wardag, a former mayor of Quetta.
The writer is a journalist based in Quetta and is President of Quetta Press Club (QPC).

Plot: Counter-terrorism Agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland, Flatliners) fights the bad guys of the world one day at a time. With each week's episode unfolding in real time, each season covers a single day in the life of Bauer each season. Jack deals with assassination attempts, nuclear attacks, bio-terrorism, torture, traitors, sleeper cells, other inside men and the alarming tendency for his romances to end badly.
Noted for it's brutal themes and action scenes, divided by its audience and critics, this is the ultimate action-mystery show which invented binge-watching before there was such a thing. Let me break down the reasons why!
Season 1:
Beginning at midnight on the day of the California presidential primary. Jack Bauer's protocol is to protect Senator David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert, Heat) from an assassination plot and rescue his wife Teri (Leslie Hope, Talk Radio) and stupid daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert, Airspeed) from mysterious forces from a Balkans mission gone wrong years ago during Jack's Delta Force days.
Meanwhile CTU Agents Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke) and Tony Almeida (Carlis Bernard, Babylon 5: A Call to Arms) and tech contractor Milo (Eric Balfour, What Women Want) must hold off some of the bureaucrats from division while trying to figure out if there's a mole.
For the first season, this show is off to a dynamite start and while dated in some places, which was noticeable even at the time, the Die Hard 3/Nick of Time/In the Line of Fire scenario is beyond gripping and even incomparable both in terms of the plot twists and how susceptible the characters are the various danger surrounding them. There's some lame stuff surrounding the wife's personal problems but it is never enough to derail the season from working overall.
4.5/5 stars
Season 2:
Set 18 months later and beginning at 8 AM, Jack must go undercover in order to stop a mysterious forces from detonating a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles while assisting President David Palmer in proving which conspiring forces are responsible for the threat. If nothing is prevented, a potential war between the U.S. and three Middle Eastern countries could break out!
Meanwhile, new intelligence agent Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth, You've Got Mail) and newly promoted Almeida must deal with more CTU bureaucrats and unprofessional behavior. Further down the road, it becomes clear that Palmer's Vice President Prescott (Alan Dale, First Daughter) is conspiring with his cabinet to vote him out as unfit for duty as they believe the terror attack to be legit.
This season easily outdoes its predecessor and stomps it to the curb by giving every single character more to lose. The villains are far more diabolical and the conspiracy plots are far better developed, and set the overall signature tone for this franchise to come. The Kim Bauer supporting segments are FAR more annoying than before but at least there's more peril for her to thwart. And by this time, the show has earned itself a place at the table in the growing trend of grey moral fueled characters and great political talking points which easily rival the likes of The West Wing and The Sopranos. The show is also benefitting from ensuring from this point on by making every season feel like one big epic action disaster film thanks to its big screen movie style camerawork and top notch editing.
5/5 stars
Season 3:
Set three years later and beginning at 1 PM, Jack and Tony must infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel to seize a deadly virus being marketed underground to the highest bidder. To do that, Jack will be forced to break one of the druglord brothers, Ramon (Joaquim de Almeida, Desperado), out of prison and retain his undercover alias while kicking a heroin addiction he's developed while assuming the part.
Furthermore, President Palmer must deal with a potential scandal involving his brother Wayne (D.B. Woodside, The Temptations) that could cost him his presidency as Wayne is now his brother's Chief of Staff.
This season can't outdo the previous two seasons no matter how furthermore twisted it gets (and to be fair it had too much to outdo) but it still does a lovely job of introducing new themes, character development, disaster scenarios and retaining the same relevant urgency we all love in a good action film/show. Nevertheless, by this point, the show has established itself in pop culture right alongside Star Trek and Miami Vice as being both unintentionally cheesy and endlessly quotable to where it can make a great drinking game.
4.5/5 stars
Season 4:
Set 18 months later, begins at 7 AM, Jack must save the lives of his new boss, Secretary of Defense James Heller (William Devane, Rolling Thunder) and Heller's daughter Audrey Raines (Kim Raver, Third Watch), with whom Jack is romantically involved, when they are kidnapped by sleeper cell terrorists. However, the cell leader Habib Marwan (Arnold Vosloo, The Mummy) is using this as a disguise to launch further attacks against America, and Jack is forced to use further unorthodox methods to stop him, which results in long-term consequences for both Jack and the United States.
This season brings back other beloved supporting characters while introducing us to the likes of Field Ops Director Curtis Manning (Roger Cross, The Chronicles of Riddick) and new CTU Head Bill Buchanan (James Morrison, Space: Above and Beyond) who become welcome additions and further complement the no-holds-barred nature of this show. The overall season also benefits from being Kim Bauer-free and leaves one feeling that even the late great Alfred Hitchcock would've tipped his hat to this.
5/5 stars
Season 5:
Set 18 months after, beginning at 7 AM, Jack is believed to be dead by everyone except a few of his closest friends. He is forced to resurface when some of his friends are murdered and he is framed by terrorists with connections to the American government. The acquisition of nerve gas by the terrorists poses a new threat, and Jack discovers an insidious conspiracy while trying to stop those responsible.
Regarded as the magnum opus of the series and often cited as unable to be outdone, this season is also arguably the most implausible out of all the seasons yet keeps you glued in thanks to the steroids driven excitement never wearing thin and being one of the most creative conspiracies on the show to date. And because its a personal vengeance fueled season, it further opens up new wounds (no pun intended) for the characters to have to heal.
5/5 stars
Season 6:
Set 20 months later and beginning at 6 AM, Jack is released after being detained in a Chinese prison. Terrorists who hold a vendetta against Jack plot to set off suitcase nuclear devices in America. Later, Jack is forced to choose between those he loves and national security when the Chinese set their sights on sensitive circuitry that could trigger a war between the U.S. and Russia, and someone from Jack's own bloodline is primarily responsible.
Both fairly and unfairly trashed by fans and critics alike, this season is already off to a rough start by revealing that some of the events from previous season are personally tied into Jack's own family, and this is far harder to swallow at initial glance. However, some of the complaints towards the villains seems rather lame given how thus season is essentially a "Greatest Hits" tribute and some of the bullets hit their targets (pun intended!) while others land astray.
The scenarios and politics are very much like the best parts of Seasons 2 and 4, and the flaws echo that of Season 3. However, every season should be judged on its own merit, just like every movie sequel/reboot/spin-off and I will make zero exceptions here. The action is just as welcomely hardcore and the second half of the season improves in comparison to the start which sorta throws all its cards into the deck way too early. And I once again applaud this for being free of Kim Bauer's presence, although the other Bauer relatives prove just as big a patience tester. Judged on it's own accord, this is a season still worthy of the brand name.
4/5 stars
Season 7:
Set 65 days after the end of the Redemption telefilm special (set between Seasons 6 and 7) and beginning at 8 AM, Jack is assisted by the FBI and covert operatives when the firewall for America's federal computer infrastructure is breached by the same people responsible for a war conflict in Sangala. Jack must uncover corruption within President Taylor (Cherry Jones, Erin Brockovich)'s administration, which has allowed the Sangalans to raid the White House and capture Taylor. She is later blackmailed by a Blackwater-type private military company in an attempt to release biological weapons on U.S. soil.
Things don't get any easier as there are still various bureaucrats trying to make Bauer serve prison time for past misdeeds. Jack will have to rely on old friends, some previously thought dead, and new strategies to put an end to all this madness.
This rivals Season 5 as the most implausible season of the series while arguably featuring some of the better moments all around thanks to starting things fresh in the Washington, D.C. area and playing Law and Order with discussing how Bauer, a man of both various good deeds and misdeeds, is still a dead man running. One could argue that there were WAY too many plot twists and bad guys at times but at least the show was staying relevant by showing the same characters in a different post-9/11 world reacting to different villain types.
Much like Prison Break and CSI: New York, this show had lost the support of some of its fans and critics but still wanted to please its portion of the fanbase that was still with it, while gaining new followers. I'd say that it overall gave us quite the bang for our buck.
5/5 stars
Season 8:
Set 18 months later, begins at 4 PM, Jack is brought in by CTU's New York division to uncover a Russian plot to assassinate Islamic leader Omar Hassan (Anil Kapoor, Pukar) during peace negotiations with U.S. President Taylor. Russia's contingency plan involves engineering a dirty bomb, which Islamic extremists threaten to detonate unless Hassan is handed over. Jack seeks retribution for personal losses suffered after another shady figure from past seasons reemerges and convinces Taylor to cover up these crimes to protect the peace agreement. Now, Jack finds himself at odds with both the Russian and American governments.
This is the regarded by some fans and critics as one of the best seasons but honestly it truly belongs beneath even Seasons 3 and 6, and to compare it to the likes of Seasons 5 and 7, especially when it underutilizes the returning characters from those, would be an insult. The show had some cool key plot twists figured out early on but for the first part it ends up being rather well-worn, formulaic stuff that has already been done to death in every even numbered season (does every villain have to be a generic Muslim sleeper cell member?).
Fortunately, the show truly makes sense of what fans are truly here to see and puts Jack on another cliche ridden revenge story. The Dana Walsh (Katee Sackhoff, Battlestar Galactica) character isn't relevant at first until the insane plot twist surrounding her comes into play. The supporting CTU Agent Ortiz (Freddy Prinze Jr., Brooklyn Rules) was not only an annoying wannabe version of Tony Almeida but every previous buddy of Bauer's. It also didn't help that he sorely miscast and that the show had to switch gears midway when it got word that FOX had pressed the cancel button, forcing it to wrap everything up. Overall, bad 24 is still better than no 24 at all, and this show is one of the few that will still make you watch each episode once no matter how it divides you politically, emotionally or plotwise.
3.5/5 stars
The show is still a landmark of television for being a fully geared up Action/Mystery/Drama hybrid. And when it doesn't have all its ducks in a row, it still has one talking about it days after you've seen it because its creators have successfully engineered multiple talking points. It is truly easy after viewing it all as to why it left a huge impression to where even movie franchises like Taken and Olympus Has Fallen owed their sheer existences to it.

50 Florida Law Review 735 (1998)
When Hamline's participation in the FIPSE grant was announced several years ago, the Hamline community saw an opportunity to help achieve the stated strategic-plan objective to ensure that every graduating student "will have basic knowledge about ADR and the opportunity for simulation experience with ADR." The FIPSE grant working-group established the following objectives to guide the curriculum-development effort: (a) emphasize the importance of ADR by formally recognizing it as "substance," (b) help students confront the standard philosophical map of lawyers and promote an "alternative" definition of lawyer as "problem-solver," (c) provide a baseline familiarity with rule vs. interest and position vs. interest distinctions, and (d) provide a definitional overview of ADR processes and ways they differ from the traditional litigation model. The working group concluded that a student leaving Hamline should have a combination of substantive knowledge, skills training, and experience to: (a) effectively listen to a client, (b) understand legal and other interests, (c) choose the most appropriate dispute resolution process, and (d) differentiate between law as a tool for justice and law as a tool to accomplish individual client objectives. While on paper, the author can make a strong case for having accomplished a great deal during the two years of the FIPSE project, as well as the subsequent academic year, he is not as convinced as he would like to be that our efforts actually influence student perception of a lawyer's work. The article discusses his uncertainties, as well as what was accomplished, difficulties encountered, and the results of a formal project assessment.

I expected a lot of issues when I transitioned to full-time WFH near the start of the pandemic. Spotty internet? Sure. Existential dread? You bet. Feeling weird about my bed being in the background of Zoom calls? Constantly. The thing that surprised me the most, however, was the awful pain in my back.
To be fair, this was my fault: I had bought the cheapest chair I could find on Amazon, and all the sitting at my desk was wreaking havoc on my lower back. I tried switching to a nicer, hipper desk chair a friend gave me for my birthday after hearing me complain about my back, but that didn't work either. In a moment of desperation, I even sat on a wooden crate for a spell, since it was the only other seating option I had. Surprisingly, it was better than the chair, since it forced me to sit up straight, but it wasn't exactly comfortable. That's when I decided to give up on chairs entirely and switch to a standing desk.
At my last office job, the two or three people who had switched to standing desks were constantly talking about how great it was, but I wasn't ready. I didn't like the idea of forcing so much of myself into the peripheral vision of the person in the cubicle across from me. But when my former track coach suggested it as a possible solution to my pain, I decided it was finally time to give it a try. Now that I was at home, without an office mate across from me, the only person I affected by standing up would be me.
As you might have inferred from me buying the cheapest chair on Amazon, I wasn't looking to spend a ton of money. Most of the standing desks and the contraptions that sit on top of desks to turn them into standing desks cost $400 or more, even the cheaply made ones. So when a friend told me about the workbench he'd been using as a standing desk, I decided to check it out.
A workbench may not sound like the perfect WFH solution, and yet it is now where I do all of my work. I have the 52-inch-wide version, which is perfect for setting up a monitor, some speakers, and whatever else you keep at your workstation. (Although the 52-inch desk is currently sold out, it also comes in 46-, 62-, and 72-inch-wide varieties.) And the 24-inch depth is similar to any office desk I've ever used. Since it's designed to be used in a garage or workshop, the surface is made of solid wood. It's durable, not at all like a lot of the other inexpensive desks I considered, which are made of plastic or particleboard — cheap materials with cheap veneers that bubble and peel the moment your coffee cup collects a single drop of moisture. It's designed for the bumps and bangs of hammering, drilling, and sawing, so the occasional mashing of your keyboard will hardly make it flinch.
The rest of the frame is equally sturdy, with square metal legs that are reinforced with a bottom crossbeam that can be situated across the back to allow you to slide a chair in. (If there is one caveat with this desk, it's that it takes a bit more assembly than others. Mine went from boxed to built in about an hour and 15 minutes.) Those legs make the desk feel rock solid, and it is. This thing is rated to hold 300 pounds. You'd have to stack a lot of MacBooks on here to push it to its limit. There are adjustable padded feet or, in a nod to its actual workbench intentions, locking castors, in case you find yourself needing to frequently rearrange your setup.
As useful as all of those features are, they're superfluous when compared to my favorite feature, the hand crank. It's supremely easy to raise and lower the desk from its top range of 42 inches high to its lower limit of 26. All you have to do is turn the small crank on the right front corner and it smoothly raises or lowers the desk by any incremental amount. When you get to your ideal height, there is no complicated locking procedure. Just stop cranking. The desk is ready to go.
Although every reason I bought this desk is related to function, it also has an impressively handsome form. You can choose between white or black legs that pair with the wood top to give the desk a modern aesthetic. It doesn't look out of place in my room and doesn't call attention to itself as a utilitarian blind spot I have to choose to ignore. In fact, the light desktop keeps the room feeling bright.
After two months of using this work table every day, turning that hand crank to periodically shift between a seated and standing position, my back pain is nearly gone. If I ever am back in an office environment, it's going to be hard to leave this thing at home.

Is a standing desk for you?
The standing desk is gaining in popularity. Is getting one the best option for you?
When to sit, when to stand
Without a doubt, there are numerous negative effects of regular, prolonged sitting. Over time, these negative effects can even cause cascading health issues. If you spend the majority of your day sitting at a desk, you are probably very familiar with a few of them. But there are some that may surprise you. Take a look at this list.
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Weak legs
- Weight gain
- Increased risk of certain cancers
- Higher rates of diabetes and heart disease
- Slowed down brain function
- Shorter life span
- Altered posture and alignment
- Muscle tension (Sign up for FREE MUSCLE TENSION SCAN)
- Weakness
- Decreased cardiovascular health
- Increased risk of depression and anxiety
- Poor digestion
- Poor blood circulation
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Higher cholesterol
- Bulging or herniated disks
- Slower metabolism
Standing office desk
This has led to countless ideas and ergonomic products designed to alleviate the strain that long-term sitting puts on the body. One such product gaining in popularity over the last few years is the standing desk. What better way to avoid the pitfalls of sitting in a chair all day than to eliminate the chair altogether?
Which leads you to the numerous negative effects of regular, prolonged standing. Good upright posture is necessary regardless of whether you are sitting or standing. This requires substantial effort from your muscles. Insufficient blood flow to loaded leg muscles used for standing increases pain and fatigue in your neck, back, and legs. Other negative effects include:
- Long term back pain
- Musculoskeletal disorders
- Lower-limb muscle fatigue and swelling
- Increased risk of leg cramps
- Aching muscles
- Corns and bunions
- Increased pressure on hip, knee, and ankle joints
- Varicose veins
- Can exacerbate coronary heart disease and arthritis
- Sore feet
- Neck and shoulder stiffness
Ergonomic desk setup
The human body is designed to move, not remain sedentary or standing for prolonged periods. Ideally, you should have the ability to choose from a few different work positions in order to change things up throughout the day.
Setting up and maintaining an ergonomically beneficial workstation should be your first step. Next, you'll want to introduce regular "micro-breaks" throughout your day, especially if you have a stationary sitting desk. About every 20 minutes you should get up and move around or stretch. Even just one day of breaking up your sitting with regular movement can be beneficial in regard to several health issues like blood pressure.
If you have a standing desk, make sure you keep the chair nearby to utilize for sitting breaks. Regular walking around and stretching also helps here. A standing desk still requires ergonomically setting up your desktop tools, such as your computer screen and keyboard, in order to help maintain an ideal posture.
Adjustable standing desk
Another option currently available is the sit-to-stand adjustable desk that combines the best of both worlds. Combined with an adjustable chair and an anti-fatigue mat this can go a long way towards a more healthy work environment. By changing positions and moving around regularly you distribute the daily workload across more of your muscles which reduces the stress on individual joints and muscles and it increases your blood flow to those tissues.
So, which option is best for you? That may require a bit of trial and error to discover, but whether it's sitting, standing, or a little of both, the tools are definitely available.

Hello and welcome to Protocol | Fintech! This Friday: Plaid gives the JPMorgan CEO one more reason to worry, Oracle's new strategy for banks and a downside of digital cash.
(Was this email forwarded to you? Subscribe here.)
Big news from Plaid and JPMorgan Chase hit on the same day this week. And they highlight the tensions between the Old Guard and the Young Turks of finance.
Plaid announced Wednesday that it raised another $425 million in funding, boosting its valuation to $13.4 billion. News of the monster round had just hit the wires when JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned shareholders in his annual letter: Fintech is becoming a bigger threat.
Plaid's solo run is paying off. Plaid's huge funding news comes just a few months after its blockbuster merger with Visa collapsed when the Justice Department moved to block the deal, saying it was anti-competitive.
So what's Dimon worried about? The JPMorgan boss told shareholders that banks are "playing an increasingly smaller role in the financial system."
Can banks and fintechs get along? Yes, actually. Despite Dimon's warning, big banks forging partnerships with fintechs is now fairly common.
Is there some hypocrisy here? JPMorgan recently invested in fintech startups like Axoni and Zanbato and reportedly is preparing to take Marqeta public. And the bank and Plaid signed a data-sharing agreement in 2018. If Dimon really thinks fintech is a problem, maybe his bankers haven't gotten the memo.
The disruptions of COVID-19 are driving banks to more digital account openings which creates opportunities for accelerating application fraud — and creates urgent new challenges for financial institutions. In this white paper, Early Warning® and Aite Group reveal how fraudsters exploit digital account opening and how banks can fight back.
What fintech trends do you find exciting?
A lot of these fintechs were born in the cloud, with the ability to use all the transformation technologies that are being invented on the fly. We've seen technology adoption happen very rapidly. We've seen social technologies, mobility, big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence. … These are very transformational technologies and when you are born in the cloud, you have no legacy to worry about. You can actually take advantage of these. What's exciting about fintechs is their ability to take all these technologies very rapidly, these traditional business models and create new ones, thereby forcing a lot of financial institutions to up their game as well.
What fintech trend do you find most disturbing?
They're becoming easy conduits for financial crime. We do have a large amount of money that gets laundered through the financial services ecosystem. And as these companies are coming up, they're [potentially] creating new avenues for bad actors to move their money illegally through the system. … That technology is vulnerable to misuse by bad actors.
What's been your biggest professional blunder and what did you learn from it?
We believed there was a huge opportunity in transforming banks, helping them replace their systems that are aging and that were installed 30 years ago, and desperately needed to come up to speed. Our biggest challenge was that initially we took a kind of all-or-nothing approach. When the global financial crisis happened, basically, a lot of the discretionary money that banks had to do those types of transformations disappeared. They went into survival mode. What I learned from that is they want to be able to absorb change in bite-sized pieces. We had to go back to the drawing board and redefine how we were architecting our core banking system.

Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green didn't practice Thanksgiving and that would indicate it's going to be tough for him to avoid missing his third straight game Sunday (1 p.m.-Cincinnati's Channel 12) at Paul Brown Stadium against Cleveland.
Also out and probably out Sunday were linebacker Nick Vigil (knee) and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (shoulder) as well as tackle Adolphus Washington (knee) on a defensive line that lost its third tackle for the season earlier in the day when Josh Tupou went on injured reserve.
And slot cornerback Darqueze Dennard (calf) and special teams captain/back-up safety Clayton Fejedelem (shoulder) surfaced on the injury report as limited.
But the big news, of course, is that Green didn't go again a day after head coach Marvin Lewis expressed optimism that Green would practice this week. But very rarely does Lewis play guys if they don't practice at least limited on Wednesday and Thursday. He had also been hopeful about Vigil returning, but now it looks like he'll miss his fourth straight game, Washington his second and Kirkpatrick his first. That would put the banged-up Dennard in Kirkpatrick's spot and rookie Darius Phillips in the slot.
The heavy injury-report news comes against the back-drop of Cleveland head coach Gregg Williams saying in Wednesday's conference call that his team is the healthiest it's been since training camp.
Without Green the Bengals offense has lost its punch and slid to 26th in the league. When he hurt his toe on the last play from scrimmage before the bye, they were 10th in scoring. But in the two games since they've scored just five touchdowns, they're averaging 270 yards and 17.5 points, and the longest pass is 37 yards.

Even More Amorites
As those of you that live in this hemisphere know, it's been hot. Too darn hot. The just-right-to-paint light and heat of spring and early summer have gone and the days of high summer are here. Luckily for my self-esteem, the temperature dropped from Boxing Day and my motivation rose in reverse. I've had nearly 20 more "Later Amorite" foot waiting to be converted from their original Atlantic Egyptian form for... well... a month or so. This is how army building goes. I buy some elements and make them (Mitanni Chariots) then I hunt around for the rest of the army and make those (the conversions previously covered) and then I look for what can be morphed out of those. In this case it's the obvious: I planned to make "Mitanni" foot from the occupied commoners of the region, mainly Amorites. So by adding some further Amorite elements I get the Later Amorite army. This is the Later Amorite army list in DBA 2.2: 1xLCh or 4Bw(Gen) 4x3Bd 2x4Ax 2x2Ps 2x3Ax 1x7Hd or 2Ps Of these, I already have 3x2Ps, 1x7Hd, and 2x3Ax - although it may prove the Ax have to be Bd. So I have to come up with at least 4Bw, 6Bd, and 8Ax figures, with an option for a chariot general figure as well. Adding the greystuff really took the longest time. This is partly because I've been in two minds about adding armour. I've ended up by deciding that even my Blades will have no armour. So oddly enough the Hd will have the heaviest armour. Unfortunate. However! I've finally got the greystuff on, added javelins to the Ax, added shields where needed (I carved some shields down from the original, in quite a number of cases.) The base varnish, base white paint and initial flesh are all done. Yay me! There's a superstition that if you don't finish a project by New Year you are doomed to still have unfinished projects the following year. I wonder if the weather will stay cool enough to finish this army?

North and South Poles Were Once Tropical!
MR. NOAH: Honey, where would like to go for vacation this year?
MRS. NOAH: Well dear, we've been working so hard this year, I think we should take the big one and go to the North Pole. I've heard the beaches are great and the snorkeling and scuba diving is legendary.
Sound weird? According to recent studies, this scenario is entirely possible because the North and South Poles were both once tropical.

Arctic's tropical past uncovered
By Rebecca Morelle
Science reporter, BBC News
Fifty-five million years ago the North Pole was an ice-free zone with tropical temperatures, according to research. A sediment core excavated from 400m (1,300ft) below the seabed of the Arctic Ocean has enabled scientists to delve far back into the region's past. An international team has been able to pin-point the changes that occurred as the Arctic transformed from this hot environment to its present cold status. The findings are revealed in a trio of papers published in the journal Nature.
The bottom end of the cylinder helped scientists to uncover what had happened to the Arctic during a dramatic global event known as the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which occurred about 55 million years ago.
"This time period is associated with a very enhanced greenhouse effect," explained Appy Sluijs, a palaeoecologist from Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and the lead author on one of the papers.
"Basically, it looks like the Earth released a gigantic fart of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere – and globally the Earth warmed by about 5C (9F).
"This event is already widely studied over the whole planet – but the one big exception was the Arctic Ocean."
The core revealed that before 55 million years ago, the surface waters of the Arctic Ocean were ice-free and as warm as 18C (64F).
But the sudden increase in greenhouse gases boosted them to a balmy 24C (75F) and the waters suddenly filled with a tropical algae, Apectodinium.
Readers of The Genesis Flood (1961) by creationist pioneers Henry Morris and John Whitcomb would have suspected this to be the case by reading the section entitled "Universally Warm Climate" on p. 243.
Apparently, the South Pole was once tropical also …
Since the time when dinosaurs roamed a tropical Antarctic continent, the world has cooled down by 6.5 degrees Celsius.
Of course, secular scientists believe that this tropical climate at the North and South poles happened millions of years ago, but their assumptions for this belief are flawed as other creationists have shown.
The more likely scenario than the "millions of years ago" story is that …
1) Conditions were very different prior to the Flood (Genesis 2:5-6, 8:22)
2) The Flood happened and changed everything
3) There was an Ice Age following the Flood lasting several hundred years
4) The ice melted somewhat and the sea levels rose

The Descendants of John Whitney, Who Came from London, England, to Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1635, by Frederick Clifton Pierce (Chicago: 1895)
Transcribed by the Whitney Research Group, 1999.

He was one of the first users of electricty as a remedial agent in medical prac- tice, adopting the electric baths as the best means. Dr WHITNEY always retained the affection of his patients, and in several instances with great boldness he went a dangerous limit beyond ordinary medicine to save an important life and family for future good. He was the author of an essay on yellow fever and a treatise on Asiatic cholera, besides miscellaneous papers on religious and medical subjects, given from time to time in the press. In 1877 Dr. WHITNEY became one of the founders and senior elder of the Union Tabernacle church in New York City. He was faithful to all his obligations. By his unvarying courtesy, tenderness and love he endeared himself to all who knew him. By his kindly counsel and wisdom he was of great help to his pastor. In October 1891, he paid a visit to his native town, Westboro, Mass. It overtaxed his strength. He was prostrated, and after several rallies in the spring of 1892 he commenced slowly to sink, until the last pulsation had come, the scene had ended, and he closed his eyes in death on the morning of Apr 3, 1892, ninety-three years four months and ten days old. 5132. iv.
