Welcome to the Colonial Resurgence timeline. This timeline starts in the very near future, so I am taking suggestions on what to do when time catches up with my timeline.
The date is October 10, 2012. The Embassy Crisis, as it would come to be called, ended without further injury to any other Americans. However, these events left an indelible mark in the minds of many Americans. Obama was now seen as being far too weak, and polls showed Romney leading him by 8% by October 10. Many Americans now wanted to completely ignore the Middle East, but a very few thought there was only one solution to the Middle East and Africa: colonialism.
November 4: Mitt Romney wins the 2012 presidential elections, campaigning on the basis of a "Feared and Respected America", which won him the minds of many Americans tired of what they saw as loose, weak foreign policies.
In January, Romney takes office, vowing to "make America feared and respected". He puts into place his policies of economic recovery, attempting to reverse the defecit, cutting funds to welfare programs. Romney also wants to involve the US in Syria, but is pressured by libertarians and liberals to avoid involvement in the conflict in Syria. By May, Romney's policies have started to take effect.

Leaping from nearly twenty-five miles above the Earth from a balloon platform no bigger than a skateboard, Felix Baumgartner goes into the record books. Red Bull definitely gave him wings. His landing was so smooth, he actually touched down gently on his feet, took a couple of steps, and then knelt in thanks. He spent over four minutes in freefall before opening his parachute.
There were some concerns with the heater built into his helmet visor, and on the way down Baumgartner reported some fogging of the visor. But when he reached lower altitude, the problem disappeared in the warmer air. After his landing, the ground crew reached him in seconds.
Preliminary data indicates Baumgartner went supersonic, reaching a maximum speed of Mach 1.24, or about 944 miles an hour.
This writer nominates Felix Baumgartner as 'The Bravest Man on Earth'.
This link leads to a fourteen-minute video at YouTube showing Felix preparing, and then jumping from the capsule.
It ends with his successful landing in the New Mexico desert.

The human resource management professional is an essential partner in developing and executing the strategy of the organization. Individuals working in the HR field are key players in ensuring the organization has the right people in the right places doing the right things at the right times. In effect, it is the HR professional's responsibility to ensure HR policies, procedures and practices are matched effectively with the organization's strategies. This includes functions such as:
To perform these functions, an HR professional needs to interact with people across the organization and needs to have an understanding of these functions. The HR professional is in a trusted position; those who serve in this field are held to high standards of integrity, discretion and discernment.
Issues that currently face professionals in this field are numerous and complex. The legal, economic and political environments at the local, state, country and international levels impact how HR strategies can be achieved. In addition to understanding the broad framework of the relevant laws (e.g., for equal opportunity, income security, safety and health, labor-management relations), the HR professional also needs to understand the economic, social and political environments and their impact on HR activities within an organization. Of critical importance are issues such as globalization, rise of knowledge worker and technology. The HR function is frequently asked to implement policies and programs to enhance the organization's ability to thrive in environments undergoing rapid change.
To prepare to study in the HR field, students should develop an understanding of the environment through study in fields such as psychology, sociology, political science, economics, law and quantitative analysis, including statistics. Students also should ensure they have the ability to communicate in multiple forms (oral, written, electronically) with individuals and groups, and are able to analyze complex information.
Students pursuing an HRM concentration should build a strong foundation of knowledge in the functional areas of business including:
It is also important to have an understanding of the changing nature of work and the work force, including such issues as workplace diversity and globalization. Students should also understand the interactions among individuals, groups and organizations through a study such as Organizational Behavior or Managerial Psychology.
Students pursuing an HRM concentration should meet the general guidelines for business, management and economics, and have a broad-based understanding of the HR function through study or experience.
The HR function has four key responsibilities:
Students seeking a broad-based HR career should build competencies in these four areas above through a combination of experience, studies and/or internships. Students could also consider taking an integrative (capstone) study to integrate their knowledge of HR and organizations. In addition, students could consider including studies that help in developing knowledge and competencies in specialized areas of HR. Possible topics include:
Other supporting studies could focus on the organization or industry in which the student plans to work. These could include nonprofit management, retail management, manufacturing technology, health-care administration and other similar types of organizational studies.
In addition, students could also consider developing a degree plan in related concentrations such as training and development, gender/diversity/LGBT issues in the workplace, labor or industrial relations, or other areas of organizational studies.

About the Book
The 1953 house that architect Philip Sherwood King designed for himself on the banks of the Waikato River in Hamilton, New Zealand deserves wider recognition, not just because of its functional elegance and simplicity but also because of the innovative methods used in its construction. A very early Waikato example of modernist design, using glass curtain walls, heated concrete floor pad and integrated electronics, the house was also notable for the sequence in which it was built -- from the roof down!
This 52-page e-book contains a detailed account of the house and its construction, numerous photographs and line drawings, and a list of King's residential architectural projects, as well as brief biographical notes on the architect.
Philip King (1921-2003) is best known for the MIRINZ laboratory at Ruakura and the Wool Research lab at Lincoln, but his smaller-scale work is no less significant. Essential reading for anyone interested in Hamilton's modernist architecture.

Average Price: $17.99
Normally I am buying my diapers in the states, but in a pinch, I needed to grab a package in Canada. So I went off to Walmart and grabbed a pack of Pampers Cruisers. What garbage!! My daughter pee'd right through them! The tabs kept falling off when I'd go to put the diapers on her. So needless to say, it deffinitely was not worth the $17,97 I paid for 26 diapers. I buy a box of 100 Luvs in the USA for $15.99! This product is deffinitely garbage, and I will never purchase them again!

Hi everyone!
I'm back with more activity! Sorry for a little bit inactive because my laptop was broken and now it is repaired.
I'll be fully active in next 2 weeks (because my Internet is usually slow on weekdays)!
Oh yeah I enjoyed IAT but not as PvZ Classic since it's not in PC and I have to use my brother's or my friend's iPad to play it.
Hope IAT will on pc soon.
