...The Big Bang! A theory ceremoniously used in explaining the existence of our universe but can also be attributed to the drastic change in globalization. This increase in globalization has impacted the economics of our nation. Its affects, furthermore, impact the way organizations manage people. Therein lies the strenuous task of implementing policies and systems to stave the endless change in the global workplace for human resource managers. These are just a few of the challenges that I’m ready to take on as a professional in human resource management. My purpose for pursing enrollment into your Masters in Human Resource Management program can be explained with simply three words preparation, aspiration and dedication. Being able to properly manage human resources in an organization is no easy task and requires a specific set of skills. A set of skills that I’ve been able to acquire throughout my professional career, but I’ve also discovered there is a lot that I have to learn to successfully achieve organizational goals. That’s why preparation is key. Knowing when, where and how to implement different human resource systems and policies are just a few crucial functionalities I want to fine tune. Working in local government, as a confidential secretary to the Town Supervisor, I was able to experience the effects of human resources in managing a municipality. After completing my undergraduate studies I was keen on teaching, however my aspirations toward administration...

...MORE ADVANCE NOISE FOR QUIET “An intriguing and potentially lifealtering examination of the human psyche that is sure to benefit both introverts and extroverts alike.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Gentle is powerful … Solitude is socially productive … These important counterintuitive ideas are among the many reasons to take Quiet to a quiet corner and absorb its brilliant, thought-provoking message.” —ROSABETH MOSS KANTER, professor at Harvard Business School, author of Confidence and SuperCorp “An informative, well-researched book on the power of quietness and the 3/929 virtues of having a rich inner life. It dispels the myth that you have to be extroverted to be happy and successful.” —JUDITH ORLOFF, M.D., author of Emotional Freedom “In this engaging and beautifully written book, Susan Cain makes a powerful case for the wisdom of introspection. She also warns us ably about the downside to our culture’s noisiness, including all that it risks drowning out. Above the din, Susan’s own voice remains a compelling presence—thoughtful, generous, calm, and eloquent. Quiet deserves a very large readership.” —CHRISTOPHER LANE, author of Shyness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness 4/929 “Susan Cain’s quest to understand introversion, a beautifully wrought journey from the lab bench to the motivational speaker’s hall, offers convincing evidence for valuing substance over style, steak over sizzle, and qualities that are, in America, often derided.

...NORTH AND SOUTH NORTH AND SOUTH by ELIZABETH GASKELL 1 ELIZABETH GASKELL 2 NORTH AND SOUTH First published in serial form in Household Words in 1854-1855 and in volume form in 1855. Republished 2012 by 27 Northen Grove Manchester M20 2NL www.malcsbooks.com 3 ELIZABETH GASKELL 4 NORTH AND SOUTH VOLUME I On its appearance in 'Household Words,' this tale was obliged to conform to the conditions imposed by the requirements of a weekly publication, and likewise to confine itself within certain advertised limits, in order that faith might be kept with the public. Although these conditions were made as light as they well could be, the author found it impossible to develope the story in the manner originally intended, and, more especially, was compelled to hurry on events with an improbable rapidity towards the close. In some degree to remedy this obvious defect, various short passages have been inserted, and several new chapters added. With this brief explanation, the tale is commended to the kindness of the reader; 'Beseking hym lowly, of mercy and pite, Of its rude makyng to have compassion.' ____ 5 ELIZABETH GASKELL 6 NORTH AND SOUTH CHAPTER I 'HASTE TO THE WEDDING' 'Wooed and married and a'.' dith!' said Margaret, gently, 'Edith!' But, as Margaret half suspected, Edith had fallen asleep. She lay curled up on the sofa in the back drawing-room in Harley Street, looking very lovely in her white muslin and blue ribbons.
