She also gave much of herself — not just to Fred Hutch and Cierra Sisters — but to other nonprofits and organizations, as well as her vast community network, which stretched well beyond the Pacific Northwest. It was not unusual for Hempstead, who lived in south Seattle, to hop on a cross-country flight to help a newly diagnosed friend of a friend, someone she’d never met, get the care they needed. But her advocacy efforts on behalf of underserved cancer patients weren’t just local. Or national.

As a child, Miheret Baka was interested in nursing, but Ethiopia’s communist government didn’t allow her to choose her future career. Instead, the Ministry of Education picked a career path and sent Baka to study statistics at Addis Ababa University, where she graduated in 1992. “I was very sad, but I thought something was better than nothing,” said Baka. In the meantime, she met and married a U.S. citizen working in Ethiopia, and they started a family.

In a surprising move, GoDaddy has announced that they will be exiting the Dedicated Server Hosting market. Not only are they stopping the sale of new dedicated servers, but they are also forcing current customers to either move to one of their VPS servers or find a new hosting provider. This decision could signal bigger changes in the market, with more hosts focusing on virtualization and reselling hosting. At InMotion Hosting, we do not agree with this trend.
