  Robert Falcon Scott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The example of Scott, Oates and the others facing death with a stiff upper lip after their superhuman efforts were overwhelmed by the forces of nature, was uncritically celebrated in books and films; and a statue of Scott by his widow, Kathleen, a sculptor, was erected in London, at Waterloo Place.
Scott's brother-in-law, the Reverend Lloyd Harvey Bruce, was the rector of the tiny Warwickshire village of Binton, and he commissioned a large stained glass memorial window, showing scenes from Scott's expedition, which still exists today.
Although the precise cause of Scott's death is the subject of much debate, it is likely that starvation, exhaustion, extreme cold, and scurvy (a dietary deficiency disease) all contributed to the death of Scott and his men.

Scott was posthumously knighted, and a statue of him by his wife, Kathleen, a sculptor, was erected in London, at Waterloo Place.

 Antarctic Explorers: Robert Falcon Scott
Scott, with his wife, left the ship at Greenhithe where he was presented two flags by Queen Alexandra, now the Queen Mother: one to be planted at the farthest south attained while the second to be hoisted at the same spot and then brought back.
Scott blamed himself for the tragedy as he was in a hurry to get the ship unloaded so she could embark with Campbell and his crew for King Edward VII Land.
Scott had dreaded this moment as all had pulled to the limit of their strength, but now four good men had to be deprived of their just reward: the Pole.

Robert Scott of Murdieston and Rankelburn obtained a charter from John Inglis of Manir, of the half lands of Branxholm, &c.
Scott instantly offered him the estate of Murdiestoun by way of excambion; when the bargain was completed, he drily observed that the Curberland cattle were as good as those of Teviotdale, and proceeded to commence a system of reprisals upon the English which was regularly pursued by his successors.
Robert Scott was originally groomed for a seaman's career, "but being shipwrecked near Dundee in his initial voyage, he took such sincere dislike to that element, that he could not be persuaded to a second attempt.

 Introduction to Robert Scott
Robert Lee Scott was born in Fairbury, Nebraska on April 19, 1928.
Scott argues against the role of rhetoric as primarily that of persuasion and views it as being the sharing of knowledge, an interaction between speaker and audience.
To the third question, Scott answers "No." He argues that as applied to rhetoric, relativism is "not an easy process promising dependable outcomes." Scott feels relativism as applied to community does not negate standards, but reinforces the standards of the community as they change and evolve.

Captain Robert Falcon Scott (June 6, 1868 - March 29, 1912) was a British Naval officer and Antarctic explorer.
Fiennes dismisses the autobiography of Albert Armitage, Scott's navigator and second-in-command on the trip, whose account provides most of the primary source data of the split between Scott and Shackleton as Armitage himself felt slighted by Scott.
His critics say that scurvy was as much to blame as any other cause, and that Scott, a professional Navy officer at a time when scurvy was becoming better understood, should've done more to prevent it in him and his men.

 Congressman Robert C. "Bobby" Scott
12.15.05 Scott Supports the Spirit of Christmas - (Washington D.C.)- Congressman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-VA-3) last night spoke on the Floor of the House of Representatives and urged Congress to protect the spirit of Christmas.
He went on to point out that “instead of legislation that respects the spirit of Christmas, Congress in just these past few weeks has passed a budget that includes mean-spirited attacks on the least of us.” His remarks were in response to House Resolution 579 that sought to “protect” the symbols of Christmas.
Couched as an effort to reduce the federal budget, the plan cuts spending by about $50 billion dollars; however, it also cuts taxes by nearly $70 billion dollars for a net increase in the deficit of $20 billion.

 || Flying Nun Records New Zealand - Robert Scott ||
Robert Scott is a world-wise man. In a prolific 20 year music career he’s travelled the globe and recorded with several seminal New Zealand bands — as the bass player for Flying Nun’s original breakthrough band, The Clean, singer/guitarist in our long-serving guitar-poppers, The Bats, and lately as the driving force behind The Magick Heads.
He’s written thousands of songs (as Roy Colbert’s accompanying bio testifies) and his discography stretches over at least a dozen albums by these bands and his other projects such as the Weeds and Electric Blood.
Robert has also drafted in his engineer Nigel Bunn for extra weird tape effects and Greg Cairns massages the drums and hammond organ.

 Salon Books | The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition and A First-Rate Tragedy: Robert Falcon Scott ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
One of Scott's ice-shelf companions was a young Irish-born seaman named Ernest Shackleton, who suffered immensely during the excursion -- at one point, no longer able to stand, he had to be hauled on a sledge -- and was forced to leave the expedition to recover back in England.
The depiction of Scott's between-expeditions wooing of his wife-to-be, Kathleen, is chock-full of choice detail, gleaned from letters and journal entries, that shows him chafing against his middle-class, buttoned-down-navy background.
The English had already made a hero of Scott and were unable to accommodate Shackleton's achievements, and the public's lack of interest spelled the end of the Heroic Age of exploration.
