the man who is probably dead. the couple, allen, 24, and brandon day, 28, were in southern california for an important conference. they got lost on saturday west of palm springs after wandering off a trail during what was supposed to be a day hike. prepared only for a brief hike, they wore light jackets and tennis shoes and had no food, spare clothing or mobile phone. with night closing in, they took shelter in a small cave and spent the night sleepless, freezing and hungry. on monday, they discovered a campsite in a dead valley. there was a sleeping mat, a backpack, a disposable razor(一次性剃刀), a spoon and tennis shoes. day and allen were delighted, thinking someone there could help them find the way out. but later they realized the place was deserted. they found identification

found articles in his backpack: a warm sweater for allen, dry socks for day and matches. they lit a small signal fire to attract a helicopter crew in the distance, but the crew did not see them. on tuesday morning, day created “a really big smoke signal” that finally attracted a helicopter crew. they were examined at a hospital and had only bruises(擦伤). “we feel great. were thankful. we feel

investing in employees, seeing it as a waste if they quitbut indian bosses believe that investing in employees ensures the quality of those who stay at the companytake the long viewindian bosses
