paragraph about Vasco da Gama

Answers

Answer 1

Vasco da Gama (1460 or 1469 - December 24th, 1524) was a Portuguese sailor. He was the first European who went to India through the Cape of Good Hope at the southern end of Africa. He went to India three times by ship.

Da Gama was born in Sines, Portugal. His birthday was June 5th.

On the 4th of July 1497 da Gama left Lisbon with four ships: the São Gabriel, the São Rafael, the Berrio, and a storage ship of unknown name. He intended to sail to India. No European explorer before him had sailed further than the place that is now called South Africa. Vasco da Gama sailed around the bottom of the African continent. Da Gama's crew gave the South African coast they were passing the name Natal, which means "Christmas" in Portuguese. They did this because they sailed by it at Christmas. The coast is still called Natal.

1. Escriba 4 diferencias de cada uno de los contratos de OBRA DE LABOR y contrato CIVIL O POR PRESTACION DE SERVICIOS.

Answers

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Aunque no se anexan opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta, podemos comentar lo siguiente. Tampoco especificas a qué país te refieres, porque en los países Latinoamericanos los términos son similares, aunque cada uno tiene sus diferencias.

Por lo anterior, y sin conocer el país en donde vives, ,podemos comentarte lo siguiente por medio de conceptos generales.

Las diferencias entre los contratos de obra de labor o contrato de trabajo formal, comparado con el contrato por prestación de servicios, son las siguientes.

Cuando hablamos del contratos de obra de labor o contrato de trabajo formal, se trata de la contratación que realiza la empresa contemplando todos los derechos y obligaciones que marca la ley en materia de trabajo.

Aquí, el empleado tiene que cumplir un trabajo en específico con una serie de características de acuerdo a la función y el puesto por el que haya sido contratado. El empleado debe cumplir un horario específico y cumplir con objetivos claros dentro de la empresa.

La empresa por su parte, está obligada a otorgarle al empleado las prestaciones básicas que marca la ley, como pueden ser el pago puntual de su salario por quincena o por mes, tener un fondo de pensiones vigente, estar inscrito en el sistema de seguridad social y hospitalaria que marca la legislación vigente, días de vacaciones, entre otras, según cada país.

Ahora, con respecto a al contrato prestación de servicios, el empleado no está contratado como parte de la empresa. Es decir, no es parte de la nómina oficial, y por esa razón, no recibe los servicios anteriormente mencionados en el caso del empleado formal.

El trabajador es contratado para trabajar de manera autónoma, sólo por la prestaciones de los servicios acreditados. Al trabajador se le contrata para que preste sus servicios de manera temporal, y cuando termina, sencillamente deja de trabajar sin ninguna obligación laboral por parte de la empresa.

El dinero que recibe de la empresa por la prestación de sus servicios no se llama salario, sino honorario por servicios.

What happened to Cuba when Castro took over?

Answers

“In three words, he destroyed it.

I'm not going to claim (as so many Cubans from Castro's own generation often do) that Cuba was paradise, because it was not. Much as in the rest of Latin America, there was poverty, illiteracy and hunger.

However, was it to the degree that the communists claim? No. As opposed to most other Latin American countries, Cuba had always had a priviledged position. During colonial times, Havana was the seat of the Spanish Crown’s “Casa de Indias” and therefore, where all the plunder was gathered before it was shipped to Spain under guard of the Armada. This brought considerable wealth to the country as one of the most important trading posts of the hemisphere.

After independence in 1902, geographical proximity, beautiful beaches, warm climate and people, as well as continued friendly governments kept it a preferred place for Americans.”

Why did many call the purchasing

A. There were limits to the transcontinental
railroad.
B. The oil in Alaska was unusable.
C. Seward paid too much for the land.
D. It was mostly ice and far away from the
United States.

Answers

Answer:

C. Seward paid too much for the land.

Explanation:

Many call the purchasing of Alaska, "Seward's Folly" because it was considered at the time that "Seward paid too much for the land."

This is because, at the time of purchase in the year 1867, the United States under the guidance of William Seward the United States Secretary of State bought the Alaska territory for a sum of $7.2million which was considered pricey at the time and thought to be of no use to the United States.

explain the causes of the "great bull market" and the 1929 stock market crash

Answers

The correct answer to this question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The "great bull market" is an economic term that refers to a situation lived in the market or a specific condition of the market in which prices are rising. That was the case of the US  stock market before its crash on October 29, 1929. This crash represented the beginning of the Great Depression.

The main causes of the United States Great Depression were the following.

During the 1920s, the American people were living a period of economic prosperity known as the "Roaring 1920s." During this period, people buy all kinds of things, needed or not. They bought houses, cars, electro domestics, and more. However, most of these purchases were made on credit, generating a big debt. Another cause was the overproduction of goods. Then, the inaction on the part of the federal government to prevent or regulate these conditions.

The major cause that detonated the Great Depression was the United States Stock market crash of October 29, 1929. After this crash millions of Americans lost their jobs, banks declared bankruptcy, and thousands of companies broke.

write a fictional short story about an Irish immigrant working on building the Erie canal


plz write a short story

Answers

Answer:

On July 4, 1817, a shovel plunged into the soil in Rome, NY, thereby beginning one of the most significant turning points in American history. On that day, the Erie Canal began and set in motion the new nation's future of transportation, trade, and technology. To celebrate the 200th anniversary of this historic moment, museums, local governments, schools, and civic organizations all over New York are hosting events and creating special projects. The Irish and The Erie live program and CD is Craobh Dugan's contribution.

Having lived his whole life near the Erie Canal, Craobh Dugan's lead fiddler and creative director Mike Hoke was inspired to look into the history of our Irish ancestors' contribution to the digging of "Clinton's Ditch". He knew that thousands of Irish immigrants had spent long hard days digging through the rough wilderness, facing perils like malaria and cholera, and he wanted to make sure the 200th anniversary commemorations didn't leave them out.

After many hours spent at the Jervis Library, Mike wrote the script for The Irish and The Erie live performance filling it with stories and humor. Then he blended in traditional Irish tunes and songs and even added some new lyrics about the Erie Canal. Craobh Dugan mandolin and banjo player Bill Fahy contributed an original Erie Canal song too.
