On Getting Help
The Beatles said it, so it must be true: we get by with a little help from our friends.
Sometimes people have a lot on their plates. And I mean that: a LOT! That's especially true for young entrepreneurs who're just starting to work on their projects and are doing almost everything by themselves. Perhaps they have a couple freelancers doing some design work, or a voice over for a video, but that's it. Personal life? who is she? I don't know her. Leisure? get out of here. Family? They're just some people bugging me to get some sleep and actual lunch. Losers.
But the truth is we need all of the above. We're not just young entrepreneurs starting to work on our projects. We are human beings with emotional and social wants and needs and, sure, we have to put 110% to our dreamed endeavors, but we can't forget to actually live, both in the surviving sense —getting sleep and eating well—, and in the social sense —having a chat with someone who thinks MVP only stands for Most Valuable Player—.
Enter: HELP!
Wow, this turned out to be heavy on The Beatles references and I didn't intend for that, please believe me. But yes, help. When you're losing grasp on your personal life, that's when you'll have to figure a way to get some help and lighten the load. Ideally, you'll do that earlier so that you don't reach that point, but for some, starting a business can be a lot financially, and getting help can be tough. Hopefully, though, that's when you'll be able to get by with a little help from your friends (who won't charge you in your time of need).
But maybe you are in more stable place with your project. You did the groundwork and it shows. Maybe you can hire someone so that you don't have to do absolutely EVERYTHING? Is that a thing people do? Of course, and there's also a lesson there about letting go and trusting others. Perhaps you can finally let someone take care of the finances. You never liked that. Or you can call someone to take on the social media tasks. How did you even find the time to tweet? Or perhaps you tried, but realized you didn't have the time or headspace to learn how to make the software needed for your project? Well, there are solutions and people willing to help (are we trying to say something here? *Wink).
So be proud of what you've achieved by yourself, but don't be a hoarder. Let others fill in the spaces you're not an expert in. Colabs are not only super fun but also can reveal new dynamics and workflows you won't know until you try, and will be different with every single person. And sometimes, they might mean the difference between make it or brake it. Don't you want to make it?

As a first generation native Californian born of Mexican descent, Oscar grew up in the San Joaquin Valley near Fresno. Growing up as the son of farm working family, his parents taught him how to care for grapevines and the soil. Oscar developed a strong connection to the land and the vine which developed into a passion that became his life's pursuit. As his farming career developed, so did his interest in wine and his curiosity in the sciences of viticulture and enology. He enrolled in California State University Fresno to quench his thirst for knowledge. Upon graduating from Fresno State in 2003 with a degree in enology, Oscar Ramos-Torres initiated his career in the wine industry with his first crush as assistant winemaker to Jim Van Haun at Cedar View Winery.
The Ramos Torres brand was born while Oscar continued winemaking at Cedar View during the 2005 vintage. Ramos Torres' first vintage was exciting and surreal. Although Oscar's first vintage produced a minuscule 200 cases, it was still an exhilarating achievement and would set the stage for future success. In 2008, Oscar opened the Ramos Torres tasting room in Kingsburg and the wines proved prosperous within the community. Meanwhile, Ramos Torres was beginning to out-grow the small facility that they shared with Cedar View Winery. Oscar soon undertook an expansion to the tasting room building to house a new winery. In 2012 Ramos Torres had its first full crush at the new winery.
From the very first vintage, Ramos Torres' goal has been to create well balanced wines that have a sense of place. These are wines that treasure subtlety and elegance over power and brute force. These are wines where varietal character is not veiled by excessive amounts of new oak and ripeness. With every vintage, Ramos Torres continues to refine their craft by learning from the vineyard and improving their techniques in the cellar.
Ramos Torres Winery currently produces 2,500 cases annually. They are focused on producing exceptional Rhone style wines from its estate vineyard and single vineyard designated wines from premium vineyards throughout California.
Oscar's parents, Eduardo F. Ramos and Estela (Torres) Ramos have been his lifelong mentors and source of inspiration to him. It was a tribute of gratitude which ultimately formed the Ramos Torres brand. The unique symbol that makes up our logo is a combination of Oscar's parents' astrological signs: Virgo and Libra. It has been through their humble beginnings and hard work that they were rewarded with a wonderful life for their family in the spirit of farming and community. Oscar has continued his parents work in the farming tradition and has endeavored to bring world class wines to our community.
Owner and Winemaker Oscar F. Ramos believes that sometimes there are things that one really cares to do, which must be shared with those who care to know about them even if it's coming from the most unlikely place. A young winemaker with a degree in enology from Fresno State, he started the 2004 crush as an assistant winemaker to Jim Van Haun at Cedar View Winery. The Ramos Torres brand and Oscar's winemaking venture began in 2005, and his experience and success has continued to build the winery he has envisioned for years. His hometown of Kingsburg, CA, has also been the home of the Ramos Torres Tasting Room since November 2008, and the winery's first crush at the same location was held in 2012.
Julia holds a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing and a minor in Economics from Fresno State University. She brings with her to Ramos Torres, several years of experience in sales, fundraising, event planning, finance, banking, and customer relations. Now as a member of the RTW team, she brings a new level of excitement and enthusiasm to a company whose level of corporate integrity is aligned with the family and community-centered culture instilled in the Central Valley. Having come from a family of Central Valley farmers, Julia's heart has pointed her in the direction of this charming, locally-owned and ever-growing winery.


For nearly half a century Israel and Palestine have been at war. The latest clashes taking place between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters in the Gaza strip over the displacement of Palestinians during the creation of Israel in 1948. More than 60 protesters have been killed since March 30th, and both sides have launched missile attacks against each other since the beginning of the year. It seems a day cannot pass without some mention of it appearing in the news cycle and discussions surrounding the conflict always seem to be laced with controversy. Director Samuel Maoz's latest film Foxtrot is no exception to this. Set in the context of one Israeli family's grief over the death of their son in the line of duty, Maoz fearlessly examines the Israeli military in the context of its ongoing conflict with Palestine.
Foxtrot, as Michael Feldman points out, is a dance "That no matter where you go, you always end up at the same starting point." This line is a statement by Maoz about the never-ending cycle of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The film goes on to show a military that is indifferent to its soldiers and their families, cruel to Palestinians, and a public that seems either willingly or unwillingly doped up on apathy for it all. Cinematographer Giora Bejach's use of disorientating angles intensely relates the emotion behind this dreary circus, while simultaneously foreshadowing Jonathan's fate.

The X Factor final part one in new ratings low as Luke Friend gets the boot

The X Factor's viewing figures slumped to a live-final low on Saturday night as 8.54million tuned in to see Luke Friend voted off the competition.
The overnight figures mark the lowest audience for a first part of the final since the first series in 2004.
Bosses pulled out all the stops including guest appearances from Tom Odell, The Killers, Ellie Goulding and Shane Filan – but it wasn't enough to entice back audiences as the 10th series reaches its climax.
Former 'stars' including Kitty Brucknell, Wagner, Rylan Clark, and Jedward returned to the X Factor stage for an exhilarating mash-up performance but even this promise of entertainment left the show far from it's all time high of 16.5million in 2010.
Viewing figures are expected to rise for Sunday night's final results show, which will see either Nicholas McDonald or Sam Bailey crowned the winner and feature guest performances from Elton John, Gary Barlow, One Direction and Katy Perry.

Meanwhile, over on BBC1, Strictly Come Dancing continued to romp ahead in the viewer's stakes, despite suffering a slip in ratings.
More than 9.9million viewers watched Abbey Clancy, Natalie Gumede, Patrick Robinson, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Susanna Reid strut around during the dance show's semi-final.
But it was the lowest ratings for Strictly at this stage of the competition since 2009.

INCREDIBLE cockpit video has emerged showing an airborne squad of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fighter jets refuelling off the back of an aircraft mid-fight.
The spectacular scenes of the squad of RAAF fighter jets showing off their capabilities while refuelling from a tanker aircraft has also caught the attention of the world's media.
The tanker is a modified Airbus A330 airliner refitted for military purposes.
"Hop in the back seat of an F/A-18B as a flight of Hornets pull in behind one of our KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport aircraft for a top up," posted the RAAF earlier this week.
The RAAF performed their first ever "automatic contact" between a tanker and a "receiver" in March 2017, The Australian reported, "when its A310 MRTT testbed aircraft made a series of six couplings with an F-16 fighter from the Portuguese air force, using the MRTT's fly-by-wire aerial refuelling boom system".
A series of 3D cameras work alongside image-processing software to determine the precise point of contact. The RAAF planned to roll out air-to-air refuelling by 2019.
Automatic contact between a tanker and a receiver is "designed to reduce crew workload by permitting consistent and accurate contacts during day or night and in all weather," according to the air force.
"Technology is moving very quickly and this is not a closed concept. It is important that, as further needs arise and as technology gives us the opportunity to enhance the capability of the MRTT, we will do so," Airbus boss Fernando Alonso said.
The tanker is part of the same class of Australian refuelling plane stationed in Iraq filling up British plane tanks in the fight against Islamic State, according to The Advertiser.
"The Advertiser spent a day on a refuelling flight, watching the Aussies supply the United Kingdom's Tornados and Typhoons," journalist Tory Shepherd wrote.
"The fuel line snakes out of the KC-30s wing, undulating only slightly. The British jets swoop in like something out of Top Gun, with their probes erect.

This is the season of caring. No matter your religion or belief, December is also considered a time to focus on the children we love. Whether we're wrapping Santa's gifts, buying Hanukkah treats, decorating the house in celebration of Kwanzaa, or volunteering for a toy drive, children add joy to the holiday season.
And we at Social Security definitely know a thing or two about helping children.
Often overlooked in the paperwork that prospective parents fill out in preparation for a child's birth is an application for a Social Security number and card. Typically, the hospital will ask if you want to apply for a Social Security number for your newborn as part of the birth registration process. This is the easiest and fastest way to apply. The Social Security card typically arrives about a week to 10n days after that little bundle of joy! You can learn about Social Security numbers for children by reading our publication, Social Security Numbers for Children, available at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs.
A child needs a Social Security number if he or she is going to have a bank account, if a relative is buying savings bonds for the child, if the child will have medical coverage, or if the child will receive government services. You'll also need a Social Security number for a child to claim him or her on your tax returns.
Show us documents proving your identity.
Remember, a child age 12 or older requesting an original Social Security number must appear in person for the interview, even though a parent or guardian will sign the application on the child's behalf.
The child must not be working and earning more than $1,090 a month in 2016. (This amount usually changes every year.) If he or she is working and earning that much money, your child will not be eligible for benefits.
Learn the details about benefits for children by reading our publication, Benefits for Children with Disabilities, available at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs.
Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/people/kids to learn more about all we do to care for children. Caring for the next generation is a central part of securing today and tomorrow, during the holidays and all year long.

Misinterpreting Our Mythological Heritage

Awe before the Great Mystery: Mythology's First Function
Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College who worked in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work covers many aspects of the human experience. Campbell's most well-known work is his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), in which he discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero shared by world mythologies, termed the monomyth.
Since the publication of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell's theories have been applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists. His philosophy has been summarized by his own often repeated phrase: "Follow your bliss."[6] He gained recognition in Hollywood when George Lucas credited Campbell's work as influencing his Star Wars saga.[7]
Campbell's approach to folklore topics such as myth and his influence on popular culture has been the subject of criticism, including from folklorists, academics in folklore studies.


The Chilo wigeon (Anas sibilatrix), also known as the southern wigeon, is one of three extant species of wigeon in the genus Anas of the dabbling duck subfamily. This bird is indigenous to the southern part of South America, including the Chilo Archipelago. In its native range, it is called the pato overo ("piebald duck") or pato real ("royal duck"), although the latter name also refers to the Muscovy in the wild. Its specific epithet, sibilatrix, means 'whistler', referring to the bird's call.
The Chilo wigeon has a body length of 46 to 56cm (18 to 22in) and a wingspan of 75 to 86cm (30 to 34in). The wing length is about 25cm (9.8in) and the weight is approximately 800g (28oz).
This bird has an iridescent green-blue cap on its head, and a bluish gray bill with a black tip. The cheeks and forehead are white, the eyes are dark brown, and there is a white auricular patch. The neck and occipital part of the head are black. The breast is barred black and white and the plumage of the wings is gray and white. The flanks of males are rust colored, and light brown on females. The legs and feet are gray.
Sexual dimorphism is relatively subtle in this species of wigeon. Males are usually somewhat larger and heavier, and with somewhat brighter plumage and more strongly pronounced iridescence of the cap. Apart from these features, it can be difficult to distinguish the two sexes. Juveniles resemble adult birds, but the rust coloring on the flanks is diminished or absent.
This duck is indigenous to the southern part of South America, where it is found on freshwater lakes, marshes, shallow lagoons and slow flowing rivers. Vagrants have been observed in South Georgia, South Orkney and the South Shetland Islands.
It breeds primarily in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. The northern border of the breeding range is in Argentina at 36 S and Chile at 40 S. It also breeds sparingly in the Falkland Islands. It migrates to southeastern Brazil for the winter.
It was first introduced to Europe in 1870; it soon bred in zoos.
Because the Chilo wigeon is widely distributed and has a large, stable wild population, it is categorized as least concern by the IUCN.
The Chilo wigeon displays a variety of behaviors depending on habitat. It is an omnivore, feeding predominantly on aquatic plants and grass, and occasionally coastal algae.
This monogamous species breeds in the austral spring, between September and December. Pairs inhabit very small breeding territories, building their nests in grasses and under bushes. The female lays eight to ten white or cream-colored eggs. After a gestation period of approximately 24-25 days the ducklings are born. The father helps raise the ducklings; however, he leaves the family after the offspring molt.

Danish doctors are developing a smart bandage to monitor wounds as they heal, reports the BBC.
"Created for diabetics, the bandage would be studded with tiny sensors and send data to clinicians via the net.
Invented at the Diabetic Foot Clinic, in Aarhus, researchers believe it could help diabetics keep feet healthy and avoid the risks of amputation".
"With a mobile phone connected to the intelligent bandage, the patient could go on holiday to another continent and still be monitored", according to Dr Niels Ejskjaer head of the Diabetic Foot Clinic.

Margarete (dite Grete) Kühnhold (née à Erfurt en 1872, date et lieu de décès inconnus) était une infirmière allemande coloniale expérimentée, autrice d'un seul livre sur son expérience au Cameroun.

Vie professionnelle
En 1900, elle voyage au départ de Hambourg vers le Sud-Ouest Africain (actuellement Namibie), où elle restera cinq ans environ. Elle exerce ensuite dans l'Est africain (actuellement Tanzanie) pour le compte de l'association allemande des femmes de la Croix-Rouge pour les colonies.

En 1910, elle met à profit son expérience africaine pour lutter contre le paludisme en Allemagne à la station d'Emden (Frise Orientale).

En 1913, elle part de nouveau de Hambourg vers le Cameroun. Initialement employée à lutter contre la maladie du sommeil, contre laquelle on utilisait à l'époque l'Atoxyl, un dérivé arsenical hautement toxique, elle s'occupe ensuite des soins aux blessés de guerre et au contrôle sanitaire. Elle traverse le Cameroun en guerre avec son microscope, avec lequel elle recherchait les germes pathogènes.

En 1928 et 1932 elle voyage jusqu'à New-York, et exerça ensuite en tant qu'aide de laboratoire à l'hôpital de Cincinnati.

Auteur
Grete Kühnhold a relaté son expérience camerounaise dans un ouvrage paru en 1917, traduit sous le titre "Une infirmière allemande au Cameroun".

Prominent Russians: Bohdan Khmelnitsky
Bohdan Khmelnitsky was a Cossack military leader and the father of the Ukrainian nation. He freed Ukraine from the rule of Poland and preserved its national identity by bringing it under Russia's protectorate. Ultimately he brought it into the "eternal union" of all Russias — Little (Ukraine), White (Belarus) and Great Russia. The Ukrainian people have named a city and a region after Khmelnitsky and his image remains a central figure on pictures, monuments and landmarks and is also featured on Ukrainian currency.
Bohdan Khmelnitsky was born around 1595 into the family of a Cossack officer, who was serving in the army under the Polish Crown. Before joining the army, Khmelnitsky received his education at a Jesuit College – this gave him a broad knowledge of world history and fluency in Polish and Latin. However, unlike many of the other Jesuit students, he did not embrace Roman Catholicism but adhered to Greek Orthodox Christianity.
After Khmelnitsky finished his education, he joined his father's army and took part in the Polish war with the Turks. In 1620 the Polish troops were destroyed at the Battle of Cecora and his father was killed. Khmelnitsky was taken captive by the Turks. He spent two years in captivity, while his mother collected money for ransom. Despite the strenuous slave labor in the Turkish navy galleys as a rowing oarsman, the time spent in captivity made Khmelnitsky stronger and wiser - he even mastered Turkish and Tatar, something that later helped his success as a leader.
Military service with the Cossacks
In 1622 Khmelnitsky finally returned home. He joined the troops of the registered Cossacks, who were serving the Polish King. Cossacks traditionally inhabited the lands of modern-day Ukraine, however, they were a people with no country who collectively decided to sell their military services. Many Cossacks were listed in a special registrar made up by Poland, and were paid high wages for their service. Khmelnitsky made a name for himself in the Smolensk war against Moskovia (Muscovite Tsardom, which at the time was gaining strength and was trying to expand towards the West) and was even awarded a special sable from the Polish King Vladislav IV for bravery.
A, Orlenov "Bohdan Khmelnitsky"
Because of his education Khmelnitsky was assigned to be the regiment scribe and later a lieutenant in Chyhyryn, located in modern-day central Ukraine. His success and popularity propelled him even higher - in 1637 Khmelnitsky was elected Captain of the regiment of the Chyhyryn registered Cossacks. He then married and settled down in the family estate of Subbotovo, which the King of Poland had awarded to his father.
Khmelnitsky's charisma commanded the respect of his subordinates and his fame as a leader had spread far beyond the army. By this time he was nearly 50 years old. He had made a reasonably successful career and had settled down, concentrating his efforts on maintaining and furthering his estate. However, the events that followed changed not only the course of Khmelnitky's life but that of the whole country.
In 1646, during his absence from Subbotovo, Daniel Czaplinski, a Polish nobleman who had set his eyes on Khmelnitsky's property long ago, raided the estate of the Cossack captain, beating his son to death and capturing his wife. Perhaps he could have gotten away with such an arrogant move, had Khmelnitsky not gained so much strength and popularity by that time. After his numerous appeals to the court brought no results, Khmelnitsky decided to lead a revolt against the Poles, whose dominance of the territories was already wearing down the local population. The respected Cossack leader, who'd provided the Polish Crown with exemplary service, now turned into a raging rebel.
Revolt against Poland
In 1947 Khmelnitsky took a group of his faithful supporters and fled to Zaporozhskaya Sech, the command center of the Cossacks. There he found the much needed support of his friends and subordinates to fight against Poland. Together, they destroyed the Polish troops overseeing the Sech and drove them out of their watching post on the nearby island. Soon after that the Zaporozhye Cossacks declared Khmelnitsky their new hetman, which put him in charge of four thousand experienced warriors. He was no newbie in the war business and well understood that to beat the Poles he would need a much stronger army than what he had.
A snapshot from the Ukrainian film about Khmelnitsky
Khmelnitsky decided to ask the Crimean Tatar Khan for help. This is when the knowledge of Tatar learned years ago in captivity brought him the favor of the Tatar Khan – he went to him on his own, with no mediators and asked for help. Khmelnitsky's timing couldn't have been better, as his proposal coincided with a period of strained relations between Poland and the Crimea. In return for his alliance, Khmelnitsky pledged the Cossacks' loyalty and promised to end their raids against the Khanate and Turkish territories. Khmelnitsky swore on his sable and left his son Timofey hostage in Bakhchisarai as a token of his faithfulness.
The Tatars kept their promise too. In spring 1648, the Zaporozhye troops were joined by a four-thousand strong army of Tatars. The army set off on its campaign towards Ukraine, with some two thousand more Cossacks joining Khmelnitsky along the way. The Poles learned about Khmelnitsky's plans and sent some five thousand warriors to combat them. Khmelnitsky knew that the Poles had sent mostly registered Cossacks, and so went to meet them. It was a hearty meeting – the Cossacks threw their Polish commander into the water and joined the army of the rebels.
The second group of troops sent by the Poles was easily destroyed. As for the main army of some 20 thousand – Khmelnitsky tricked them into retreating back to where his troops were waiting to attack. The Poles would have been totally massacred if it hadn't been for the Tatars. According to the treaty Khmelnitsky had made with the Crimean Khan – all captives were theirs by right.
In just a few months, the unstoppable troops of Khmelnitsky grew to 100 thousand, joined by more volunteers. They freed the Ukrainian territories from the Poles. Khmelnitsky was hailed as a second Moses, who liberated his people from the slavery of Poland.
Khmelnitsky's dramatic victories left a number of complications, however. Because neither party had enough military strength to win a decisive victory they would war with each other, and then conclude their campaigns with negotiations, making unsatisfying settlements, only to resume another war a year later. Soon the tremendous bloodshed and destruction began taking its toll. Both the Ukrainians and the Poles were less eager to fight and the conflict remained unresolved. To maintain his conquests Khmelnitsky needed the reliable support of a strong and recognized foreign power.
Reunification with Russia
A monument to Bohdan Khmelnitsky in Kiev
Khmelnitsky's choice fell on Moscow, mainly because like Ukraine it was Orthodox. He had asked for help from the Tsar from the very start of the uprising, however, Moscow was already badly scarred from its own recent war with Poland, and preferred to wait and see the outcome of the Polish-Ukrainian wars before taking any action. Finally, in 1654, Khmelnitsky held a meeting with the Cossack elite. Of the four leaders, including the Polish king, the Tatar Khan, the Ottoman Sultan and the Muscovite Tsar, the latter was deemed the best candidate to become the Protector of Ukraine. Some 117 Ukrainian towns and 127 thousand people swore an oath of loyalty to the Muscovite Tsar Aleksey Mikhailovich.
Death and legacy
Bohdan Khmelnitsky died on August 6, 1657, just a few years after the great climax of his life. The new hetmans tried to break the treaty with Moscow, however the majority of Ukrainian Cossacks remained faithful to their oath to Russia, and the union stood strong. Khmelnitsky created a whole new epoch, which marked a turning point in the history of Ukraine, Russia and Eastern Europe.
For Moscow, which was somewhat isolated before, it was a giant leap toward closer links with Europe and expanding its greatness. As for Ukraine, despite the criticism of Khmelnitsky's annexation of Ukraine to Russia, it had a great impact on the country's history and self-definition. Some historians compare the significance of Khmelnitsky's impact on Ukraine to that of Cromwell on England and Wallstein on Bohemia. Khmelnitsky liberated Ukraine from decades of right-less subordination to the Polish Crown and won it the right to self-identity and freedom as a nation.

MACON, Ga. - A pair of Lipscomb athletes earned the Atlantic Sun Track and Field weekly awards Wednesday with Ryan Chastain earning the track honor and Alex Jerkins picking up the field accolade.
Though the distance changed from the mile to the 1500-meter for outdoor track at the UNF Invite, Chastain, a native of Mitchell, Ind., continued his record breaking campaign. The senior's winning time of 3:51.54 eclipsed the previous Lipscomb school record of 4:00.44 (Bob Martin, 1977) by nearly nine seconds.
Jerkins competed in three events for the Bisons at the UNF Invite. The sophomore took fifth in the shot put with a toss of 45-10. The Faireview, Tenn. native also took 12th in the discus with a mark of 128-10 and 13th in the javelin with a heave of 144-3.

Excerpts from Dispatches from the Galaxy:
A Deep Space Disappearance
Evans took a deep breath. "Senior Tech McHugh is missing."
"What do you mean, missing? In case you've forgotten, this is a deep space vessel, Evans. No one can get in or out."
"I understand, ma'am. I made sure to investigate before I brought this to you. Just like you taught us."
"I also taught you about the geo-sensor, didn't I?" Sue tapped the tiny bump hidden in the hair above her right ear. "Mr. McHugh is an experienced member of our crew. He would not simply disappear, even if he could."
"Yes, ma'am, the tracking screen was the first thing I checked. Pull it up if you could, please, and we'll make sure."
Sue's eyes darted to the crew count, and her whole body flashed hot, then cold and clammy.
"Eight thousand seven hundred fifty-three," she whispered. "That can't be right. Even if he were dead…"
She switched over to the specific report on McHugh, and a deeper chill ran through her.
The yellow of Invalid flashed behind his name.
Not the normal green that every single other person showed, or the sad black of the deceased that Sue hadn't yet had to deal with on Bellagos.
Not one other person showed that impossible status.
Maerlis leaned forward, holding the comm in her lap. "I know we're a fresh food outpost, so I hate to ask. What happens to our supplies in that time?"
"Considering that the freighters won't bring a damn thing with them?" Jim said. "Besides what little we can't grow here. Even if we warn them, they won't likely be able to detour to another supply planet."
"There aren't any other ones close by." Rob's face was as pale as it had been flushed.
"Not that they could re-route to." Jim scrubbed his face. His brain didn't want to see the answer, much less say it out loud. "We won't actually starve to death. At least I don't think so. You'll know the nutritional deficiencies we'll run into better than I do, Maerlis, with a year or more before we get a good harvest. But we'll have a planet full of miserable cadets and furious miners on our hands."
Jim kept his true worries, and his memories, to himself. He'd seen people as rough and hardened as the miners on a desolate planet. At the end of the last wars on Earth.
He knew how more shortages and hardships they weren't prepared for could turn a difficult situation into a nasty one.
"We don't know what's going on," Luis said, "but I don't think it's trauma. I see no signs of disease. With the way it only affects some people in a family, I don't believe this is contagious at all. Mind if I ask you a question?"
Both Bitanthrans shook their heads.
"What do you think is going on? What do people who live here, who've been watching this happen for years, think?"
Willis drew in a slow breath, and Luis saw tears standing in his eyes.
"Some of us are afraid it's poison, something to do with Bitan. It seems to be getting worse over time. Like we've been exposed too much, and we're passing it along to our children."
"Well, I can't rule anything out yet since we just got started. But your medical center here has tested for everything we know of, and off-world facilities have too. Nothing seems out of line with your bodies. Nothing seems to accumulate or get depleted over time."
"Except our kids' feelings," Myrtle said. She didn't look sad like Willis. She looked furious. "That's depleting, more and more every year."

A fire broke out at the former Mulligan Public School in the 1800 block of North Sheffield Avenue on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014. Around 2 a.m., the fire was raised to a 3-11 at the shuttered elementary school in Lincoln Park.
An extra-alarm fire at a shuttered elementary school in Lincoln Park disrupted trains on the CTA's Brown and Purple lines all morning Tuesday.
Fire crews were called shortly after 1 a.m. to the former Mulligan School building in the 1800 block of North Sheffield Avenue.
The CTA halted Purple Line Express service between Howard and the Loop, a suspended service on the Brown Line between Fullerton and Merchandise Mart stops because of the fire. As of 4:15 p.m., Brown Line trains had resumed normal service. Earlier Tuesday afternoon, trains were operating with significant delays, according to the CTA.
There was no indication that the fire damaged the tracks, but crews were working to remove ice from the water used to put out the fire.
For CTA updates, check the transit agency's website.
The former school building was under renovation when the fire broke out, according to fire officials and the Chicago Department of Planning and Development. The building, which was built in 1889, had been granted landmark status last February.
After being shuttered for several years, a Buffalo Grove company bought it for $4 million with plans to convert it into 24 apartments.
Firefighters patrol the site of an extra-alarm fire that started around 1 a.m. Tuesday at the former Mulligan School building in Lincoln Park.

For calculating the sale price, the entry load applicable at the time of investment shall be added to the applicable NAV of the Scheme. Entry Load means a one-time charge that the investor pays at the time of entry into the scheme.
Presently, entry load cannot be charged by mutual fund schemes. Thus, sale price for a particular investor shall be equal to the applicable NAV for the investor at the time of investment. For example, if applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs. 11 then the sale price will also be Rs. 11 as Entry Load is Nil.
For calculating the repurchase price, the exit load applicable at the time of investment shall be deducted from the applicable NAV of the Scheme.
Step 2: Applicable NAV - Exit Load Amount = Repurchase price; i.e. Rs. 11- Rs. 0.11 = Rs. 10.89.


At WebFuel, we believe in giving back to the community. Since education is at the core of what we do, it seemed logical to again support a local educational institution. As a former educator, I jumped at the opportunity to be a guest speaker for a group of 3rd year Digital Marketing students at Algonquin College.
My topic was SEO – and all things related. Since Search Engine Optimization can be very complex, and often very confusing, a question & answer session is critical in terms of learning. In addition, performing a live search session with the goal of understanding the organic side of search, as well as exploring the different search results and keyword variations is key. Using this approach not only provides real examples but also real understanding.
In our live searching session, the students were given three related challenges. They are listed below along with the outcomes.
While they are a generation that grew up with the Internet and using Search is second nature to them, understanding what area of a Search Engine Results page is organic (vs paid) took some time to determine. This is common. No surprises here. SEO is focused on organic search results (just so you know).
Just like the very popular Pepsi challenge, we tested out the two Canadian versions of Bing & Google to determine which Search Engine provides better search results in Canada. The students were very good at determining relevancy related to their search queries. Google won (no surprise). One of the roles of a SEO professional is to determine what Search Engines to target for their clients – and which version(s).
What I found most interesting is how they searched from a keyword perspective. Most used very long keyword phrases ( 5–8 keywords), or the question format. i.e. "Where can I buy decorations for Christmas in Ottawa?". They were very good web searchers (again no surprise). In terms of search results for seasonal searches, they noted that the results were disappointing. This, of course, has little to do with the search giant (we used Google.ca). But the lack of local stores and ecommerce sites properly targeting their geographic location. What a missed opportunity! The foundation of SEO is keywords – and understanding how people search as well as their intent. The key is to be there!!!
The biggest challenge I discovered overall is the lack of certified SEO learning opportunities / courses in Canada. Hopefully this gets addressed soon, as the movement towards digital in our country has been big this year. We predict that there will be tremendous growth in the digital beyond 2012.
We encourage you to give back too!
Professor Karen Kavanagh invites Ottawa area experts to share their knowledge and expertise related to Search & Digital Marketing. The primary goal is to get students curious about all things digital and to learn about the opportunities they have entering the workforce as advertisers or marketers. If you have expertise in this field, I encourage you to share. Be a guest speaker. It is, in my opinion, a very rewarding experience. Just in case you are wondering, I learned from them as well. I am hoping to do this again next year.
You made it this far…..Here is a copy of my slide deck!
