In Endurance Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, Alfred Lansing recounts the tale of one of the greatest successes of the Twentieth Century. Ironically, Lansing's detailed account of the 1915 Trans-Antarctic Expedition illuminates the stark reality that Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition did not fulfill its goal. In fact, the expedition never even set foot upon the continent that they had intended to cross. The outstanding success of that motley crew of adventurers was in their ability to endure the harsh Antarctic climate. Despite having their ship crushed by an ice cap, spending the dark Antarctic winter hopelessly alone, suffering through a stormy voyage in

Magellan went way farther than Zheng He did and he only went one time while Zheng He went multiple times. Magellan went farther than Zheng He with far fewer ships and fewer men. Zheng He was very good at getting where he was going because of a number of times he went, but Magellan had great navigational skills when going around the world. In Document G, it shows a map with the route of Magellan’s journey and the exact path he took in his attempt to make it all the way around the world. How far he went shows how much skill he had and shows how much he had prepared and planned for the voyage. Not only did he have amazing navigational skills, but he was great in predicting the length of bodies of land. Document I states, “Magellan's extraordinary skill as a good strategist proved to be the decisive factor in negotiating the entire length of the Dragon’s

There are 8 main diversity dimensions that determine whether people are in the majority or minority population. Which one of the following is NOT a dimension?

I doubt I could have offered you more than the State Board of Accounts. I wouldn't be surprise if you got more or if we got about the same. They offered me $72,0000 which is a $9,000 increase from what I am making now. That to me was worth it. I know the crazy thing is that Jason and Kim makes more than that; however, it doesn't matter. Once I have the director role it will be a whole lot easier to get the director role at a another organization with higher salary (Ball State/Ivy Tech, or etc.). They are giving me the money for four employees although that could change if I need more next year. They budgeted 2 Senior Auditors (45-55K) and 2 Internal Auditors (35-45K). I told them I could get Internal Auditors for the low 40K. I know getting the seniors for that salary will be somewhat challenging. I figure if I cant get a good one I could either hire a audit manager role in the 65K range and hire an audit assistant or something.

Examine two ways that companies can recruit qualified job applicants. Determine which method may be most effective and predict how it could benefit the company when hiring new employees.

I work closely with other employees and Partner of the firm. All questions raised by employees on the files regarding the accounting and tax are answered by myself. If I am not sure I will consult with Partner. This allows me to regularly update my knowledge with any new update. Therefore, it is important that I develop and maintain a positive relationship with both employees and Partner. It also assists in the company to create a positive environment where I am available to answer the questions asked by employees and resolve the problems.

As of next week, we will require that all employees at Semper Absum take a mandatory one-hour lunch break away from their desks. After hiring an efficiency expert, we were informed that many employees were not taking a lunch-break and instead were using work time to attend to personal matters. Statistically, employees who do not take a lunch break tend to be less productive during the rest of the day.

Sir Winston Churchill once said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” Through near impossible circumstances, Shackleton pushed his limits and managed to bring himself and all of his 28 men through hell. English explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton - or as his crew called him, The Boss - always had a calling from Antarctica. On his first expedition, Ernest and the crew came closer to the South Pole than anyone in history before. With all his gained knowledge from the previous expedition, he set off with his crew in order to be the first person to reach the South Pole. He didn’t succeed. Shackleton had come 180.6km from reaching his goal, however due to the health of his crew he had to retreat back to

Shackleton sailed with 27 men from South Georgia Island on a British Polar expedition into South Atlantic aboard the ship called Endurance. The south pole had been recently reached in 1911. The goal of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was to become the first explorers to land on the Antarctic continent as well as cross it. The original plan was to sail Endurance through the Weddell Sea and then use dogs and sledges to support the crew of six men to march on the opposite side of Antarctica.

Today I will be talking about who was the first person to reach the north pole. So Peary discovered the North Pole after eight Trails in 23 years. The North Pole was one of the last remaining laurels of earthly exploration. Robert Edwin Peary was the first person to reach the north Pole. There are two men the reach the North Pole in April 21, 1908 and it was Robert Edwin Peary and Matthew Henson and there were was four more mens that went with them Ootah, Seegloo, Egingway, and Ooqueah on April 6, 1909. So the Americans explorer which is Robert E. Peary sending word from Indian Harbour, Labardon, that he had reached the north pole in April 1909,one hundred years ago in this month. Anyone who read the two headline they would know that the north pole could discovered only once.

Shackleton?s yearning to explore the Antarctic was born out of his desires to achieve the improbable and attain fame and notoriety (Morrell and Capparell 32). Both the Artic and the Antarctic remained unexplored in the first decade of the twentieth century, and the promises of celebrity, honor for one?s country, and possible wealth were the romantic rewards for the explorers of the day (28, 55).

explorers tried to figure out who was right and who was wrong. They waited the

The case study examined Ernest Shackleton and his Antarctic exploration with his ship the Endurance. This expedition took place in 1915 and was set to cross the continent from sea to sea. Shackleton was aiming to sail the boat through the Weddell Sea and then take his men to the Ross Sea on the opposite side of the continent, therefore making it a 1500 mile journey for the
