Like Geronimo in the Southwest during the same era, Sitting Bull was a warrior who fought in several skirmishes against settlers and U.S. forces across the Plains during the 1860s, and while it is still debated whether he was the “Supreme Chief of the whole Sioux Nation” by 1868, it’s clear that he was one of the influential leaders of the Lakota. And when The Great Sioux War of 1876 began, Sitting Bull was recognized as the most important leader among all Native American tribes on the Plains, and the one to turn to for those who intended to keep fighting whites.

Sitting Bull ensured he would become a legend at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, during which an estimated 2,000 Lakota and Cheyenne warriors inspired by one of his visions routed and then annihilated the 7th U.S. Cavalry led by George Custer. That disaster led the American government to double down on its efforts to “pacify” the Sioux, and by the end of the decade many of them had surrendered and been moved onto a reservation. Sitting Bull defiantly refused to surrender, instead heading with a smaller band into Canada and remaining exiled.

Forget What You Know About Google SEO! In April, 2011 Google implemented the Google Panda filter which fundamentally changed Google SEO.

In the old world, google assessed the quality of the site – looking at tags, links, content and other site based metrics. In the new world, google assesses the user experience – looking at what your users actually do when they come to your site.

This is a fundamental shift that, if you don’t make immediate and meaningful changes to your site, can take you from a well-ranked site to not showing up at all for your search terms, overnight.

Maïté Humphries-Farge died on January 14th 2011, quite suddenly and without warning. She was not targeted by a serial killer or the victim of some vampire boyfriend’s nemesis because this was not fiction. This was merely the kind of day-to-day family tragedy that barely makes the local news.

This is the story of the first year after Maïté’s death, as told in diary entries made by her husband, recounted in the hope that anyone involved in a committed relationship who reads it might think to find out where the insurance policy is, decide to take out that funeral plan or simply ask themselves what they would do if it happened to them. Because it happens to someone every day.
