Answer:

According to the Eiriks saga, Erikson sailed off course on his return to Greenland and landed in North America. He called the region where he landed Vinland after the wild grapes that grew in abundance there and the general fertility of the land.

Explanation:

Around the year 1000 A.D., Leif sailed from Greenland to Norway to visit the home of his grandfather. There he served in the court of King Olaf I Tryggvason, who converted him from his Norse religion to Christianity.

The second of the three sons of Erik the Red, the first colonizer of Greenland, Leif sailed from Greenland to Norway shortly before 1000 to serve among the retainers at the court of Olaf I Tryggvason, who converted him to Christianity and commissioned him to urge that religion upon the Greenland settlers.

Sasha needs to select among three candidates for an open position in her department. She was most impressed by Randall's persona
Arisa [49]

Answer:    C. Can-do

Explanation:  Since Sasha does not have the luxury of training Randall on the job because he does not have the necessary skills, so she needs someone who has the necessary skills to access the job immediately, then Randall is eliminated due to the can-do factor. The can-do factor depends on skills, i.e. whether Randall is capable of doing something that is needed. It does not depends on motivation, character, personality, it simply depends on knowing the skills. So if he has the skills he can do something.

Describe the multiple nuclei model of cities.
laiz [17]

Answer:

Harris and Ullman argued that cities do not grow around a single nucleus but several separate nuclei. Each nucleus acts like a growth point. The theory was formed based on the idea that people have greater movement due to increased car ownership.

The Role of Government: Tutorial
maw [93]

Answer:

The Kelo case proved to be a revelation for many New Londoners about their property rights. Small business owners like me have to be especially careful to avoid falling under the radar of government development projects.

Until now, I was under the impression that eminent domain gave the government the right to take private property as long as it was for public use. My assumption included that public use defined anything that the public could literally use. Apparently, the court went with a broader interpretation of public use under which “a taking is constitutional if it serves a public purpose” (Kelo v. City of New London).

This interpretation means public use includes anything that is deemed as fit for public purpose, even though I or most citizens may not be able to directly use it. This raises the concern of what all could fall under public use. I trust that the government won’t go on seizing private properties for its unrestrained use. However, the Kelo case still proves to be a matter of concern for me.

Although the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution provides a certain safeguard, the wider interpretation of public use makes it easier for businesses like mine to lose ownership of their property to the government.
