The Gallipoli Campaign of 1915-1916, also known as the battle of Gallipoli, was thought up by Winston Churchill and was an attempt by the Allied powers to control the sea route from Europe to Russia during World War I. In early 1915 Russians found themselves threatened by the Turks in the Caucasus and appealed for some relief. The British decided to mount a naval expedition to bombard and take the Gallipoli Peninsula on the Western shore of the Dardanelles, with Constantinople as its objective. The campaign began with a failed naval attack by British and French ships on the Dardanelles Straits in February-March 1915 and continued with a massive land invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula on April, 25, involving British and French troops as well as Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). By mid-October, allied forces had suffered heavy casualties and had made little head way from their initial landing sites. Australian casualties added up to about 26,111 and about 8,141 deaths. Despite this, it has been said that Gallipoli had no influences on the course of war.Thursday, January 9, 2014

3 Questions - The Jungle Era
1) What qualities did Sinclair believe a person must have to succeed in Packingtown?
- He believed if the man was a hard worker and minded his own business would succeed; However, that was not the case. Only men who were sent to Jurgis's father by the boss or whom spied upon his fellows would succeed in Packingtown.
2)According to the passage, what is the plant owner's main goal.
- According to the passage, the plant owner's main goal is to make as much money as possible and doesn't care how it is done.
3) What does Sinclair mean when he says, "...there was no place in it where a man counted for anything against a dollar....?"
- I believe this means a dollar was more important than another man, because in this passage it tells us how there was no loyalty, decency nor any honesty in the workforce of Packingtown, it was just a race to be the fastest so you could earn money and not be replaced
Now a days, we have the FDA which regulates many things such as: food, human prescription and non-prescription drugs, vaccines, medical devices, electronic devices, cosmetics, tobacco products and many of other things. The FDA enforces these regulations by having nine primary centers and offices that are responsible for regulatory oversight and enforcement.
