The door to my office slid open. "Hello," I said, rising from my chair. "You must be my nine o'clock." I said it
as if I had a ten o'clock and an eleven o'clock, but I didn't. The whole Martian economy was in a slump, and
even though I was the only private detective on Mars this was the first new case I'd had in weeks.
"Yes," said a higt, feminine voice. "I'm Cassandra Wilkins."
I let my eyes rove up and down her body. It was very good work; I wondered if she'd had quite so
perfect a figure before transferring. People usually ordered replacement bodies that, at least in broad
strokes, resembled their originals, but few could resist improving them. Men got more buff, women got
curvier, and everyone modified their faces, removing asymmetries, wrinkles, and imperfections. If I ever
transferred myself. I'd eliminate the gray in my blond hair and get a new nose that would look like my
current one had before it'd been broken a couple of times.

although few humans per year are attacked by polar bears, any individual attack can be terrifying and even fatal. the warming of arctic regions has allowed the intrusion of humans into the polar bears’ habitat, increasing the danger of harmful contacts. remaining alert and using precautions can humans avoid a negative encounter with a polar bear. traveling together and staying close to the group can humans avoid bear attacks. certain weapons, including nonlethal ones such as pepper spray, are effective against polar bears. once a bear has decided to attack, however, nothing can be done.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
