Every cream
soup has a base. It's the soup's major component, and the part that adds the
most flavor.
In most cases,
the base of a cream soup is a vegetable puree.
- A vegetable puree can be as simple as vegetables boiled in a bit of water, then pureed with a blender or food processor.
- However, to get a more complex flavor with not a whole lot more work, you can saute some aromatics like leeks, onions, shallots, garlic, etc, with a bit of butter, and then add some chicken stock and boil the vegetables in the mixture. Then puree the whole thing! It'll be a lot more flavorful.
- You can also use vegetable stock if you're trying to make a vegetarian meal, but keep in mind that vegetable stock doesn't contain any gelatin and so doesn't really carry flavors as well as chicken stock would.
- Some vegetables benefit from being sauteed a bit with the aromatics. Mushrooms are a good example (although not technically a vegetable, you know what I mean!). It helps bring out the flavor. Just saute them, add the stock, simmer a bit, and then puree.
- Some vegetables – again, like mushrooms – make a great cream soup without being pureed. Whether you pureed the vegetable-stock mix is up to you, just see what you like.
For some cream soups, however, you wouldn't really want to use a vegetable puree. For example, a cream of chicken soup really only needschicken stock as a base, with maybe a few aromatics and some pieces of cooked chicken added and then pureed.

natural form nan vast expanse of sand, rocks, and thousands of colorful fish,
and the atmosphere is really like under the sea. Although filled with
fish, water Umbul Ponggok is not fishy because the water flows continuously.
Apart from
being a snorkelling, Umbul Ponggok also often used as the location for novice
divers diving training before they actually dive in the sea. For travelers
who can not swim and do not want to snorkel can ride paddle boats and surround
pennant. As for the children provided a short-sized pool that can be used
as a location to swim or play water limited.

Hiro Hamada
is a 14-year-old robotics genius who lives in the futuristic fictional city of
San Fransokyo. Raised by his aunt and older brother Tadashi after the death of
his parents, he spends his time participating in illegal robot fights. To
redirect Hiro, Tadashi takes him to the robotics center at his university,
where Hiro meets Tadashi's friends: GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred, as well
as Baymax, the healthcare companion robot Tadashi created. To enroll in the
school, Hiro signs up for the school's science fair and presents microbots: swarms of tiny robots that can link together in any
arrangement imaginable. Professor Callaghan, the head of the university's
robotics program, is impressed, and Hiro is accepted into the university.
Alastair Krei, a businessman and president of Krei Tech, attempts to buy the
microbots, but with Callaghan's advice, Hiro declines to sell them. When a fire
breaks out at the university, Tadashi rushes in to rescue Callaghan and is
killed in an explosion.
Several weeks
later, a depressed Hiro accidentally activates Baymax, who follows Hiro's last
microbot to an abandoned warehouse. There, the two discover that someone has
been mass-producing Hiro's microbots, and they are attacked by a Kabuki-masked man controlling the bots. To catch the man, Hiro
equips Baymax with armor and a battle chip containing various karate moves. After the masked man attacks Hiro, Baymax,
GoGo, Wasabi, Honey, and Fred at the docks and chased them through the city,
the six go to Fred's mansion and begin to plan to form a superhero team with
Hiro creating armor and devices for his friends pertaining to their field of
science. Suspecting that Krei stole the microbots and caused the explosion, they
discover a secret, disused Krei Tech laboratory, which was researching teleportation technology until the disappearance of a
test pilot. While detaining the masked man, they discover him to be Professor
Callaghan, who started the fire as a distraction to steal Hiro's bots while
leaving Tadashi to die. An enraged Hiro removes Baymax's healthcare chip
(leaving only the battle chip) and orders him to kill Callaghan. Baymax almost
achieves this until Honey Lemon re-installs the healthcare chip and stops him.
Furious at his friend's intervention, Hiro storms off with Baymax. When Hiro
tries to remove the healthcare chip again, Baymax prevents him, implying that
vengeance is not what Tadashi would have wanted. This causes Hiro to break down
and finally mourn Tadashi's death. To console him, Baymax plays several
humorous videos of Tadashi running tests during Baymax's development and his
refusal to give up despite many failures during the tests. A remorseful Hiro
later apologizes to his friends, who forgive him, and the team reunites to stop
Callaghan.
The group
discovers that the vanished test pilot in Krei's lab was Callaghan's daughter
Abigail, and that Callaghan is seeking revenge on Krei for his daughter's
apparent death. Callaghan attempts to kill Krei and destroy his headquarters by
sucking both into a teleportation portal with no exit. The team saves Krei and
destroys the microbots, but the portal remains active and unstable. Baymax
detects Abigail inside, alive but in hypersleep, and leaps into the portal with
Hiro to rescue her. After finding Abigail's podship, Baymax's armor thrusters
become damaged and fail, leaving them drifting through the subspace. Baymax
then uses his armor's right-hand rocket fist to propel Hiro and Abigail back
towards the portal opening and Baymax stays behind. Hiro and Abigail make it
back safely and Callaghan is arrested. Believing that Baymax perished, Hiro is
heartbroken until he discovers Baymax's healthcare chip, which contains his
entire personality, clenched in the rocket fist. Hiro rebuilds Baymax and the
six friends continue their exploits through the city, fulfilling Tadashi's
dream of helping those in need.
During the
end credits, it is shown through newspaper headlines that Hiro has been awarded
a grant from the university, where a building has been dedicated to Tadashi. In
apost-credits scene, Fred
accidentally opens a secret door in his family mansion and finds superhero gear
inside. His father, a retired superhero, arrives stating that they have a lot
to talk about as they embrace each other.

As children,
many of us learn about the wondrous process by which a caterpillar morphs into
a butterfly. The story usually begins with a very hungry caterpillar hatching
from an egg. The caterpillar, or what is more scientifically termed a larva,
stuffs itself with leaves, growing plumper and longer through a series of molts
in which it sheds its skin. One day, the caterpillar stops eating, hangs upside
down from a twig or leaf and spins itself a silky cocoon or molts into a shiny
chrysalis. Within its protective casing, the caterpillar radically transforms
its body, eventually emerging as a butterfly or moth.
But what does that radical transformation entail? How does a caterpillar
rearrange itself into a butterfly? What happens inside a chrysalis or cocoon?
First, the caterpillar digests itself, releasing enzymes to dissolve all of its
tissues. If you were to cut open a cocoon or chrysalis at just the right time,
caterpillar soup would ooze out. But the contents of the pupa are not entirely
an amorphous mess. Certain highly organized groups of cells known as imaginal discs survive the digestive process. Before
hatching, when a caterpillar is still developing inside its egg, it grows an imaginal disc for each of the adult body parts it
will need as a mature butterfly or moth—discs for its eyes, for its wings, its
legs and so on. In some species, these imaginal discs remain dormant throughout
the caterpillar's life; in other species, the discs begin to take the shape of
adult body parts even before the caterpillar forms a chrysalis or cocoon. Some
caterpillars walk around with tiny rudimentary wings tucked inside their
bodies, though you would never know it by looking at them.
Once a caterpillar has disintegrated all of its tissues except for the imaginal
discs, those discs use the protein-rich soup all around them to fuel the rapid
cell division required to form the wings, antennae, legs, eyes, genitals and
all the other features of an adult butterfly or moth. The imaginal disc for a
fruit fly's wing, for example, might begin with only 50 cells and increase to more than 50,000 cells by
the end of metamorphosis. Depending on the species, certain caterpillar muscles
and sections of the nervous system are largely preserved in the adult
butterfly. One study even suggests that moths remember what they
learned in later stages of their lives as caterpillars.

What You Need
Ingredients
Aromatics
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Vegetables
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels, defrosted
1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas, defrosted
1/2 cup chopped scallions
For the rice
2 tablespoons grapeseed, canola, or peanut or vegetable
oil
4 cups cold cooked rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, almonds, peanuts, or cashews
2 tablespoons minced cilantro (optional)
Equipment
A 14-inch flat-bottom carbon steel wok
A fish spatula or other thin, flexible spatula for stir
frying
Instructions
1. Cut Up the Ingredients: The most important key to
making a good stir-fry is cutting each ingredient to a uniform size as
specified above. Cut the aromatics as directed and set them aside in a bowl.
Finely slice, then mince, the ginger. Don't grate it on a grater. Cut the
vegetables and set them aside as well.
Optional Step - Egg Pancake: There are several ways of
adding egg to your finished fried rice. You can simply cook in the beaten egg
at the end of cooking, or you can make an egg pancake. To do this, heat the wok
and add 1 teaspoon of oil. Swirl in the oil to coat the bottom of the wok. Add
a beaten egg and tilt the wok so that the egg covers the surface like a crepe.
Cook the pancake about 30 seconds to a minute until it's just set. Use a metal
spatula and flip the pancake and cook for 5 seconds or until set. Cut into
small strips and add to fried rice near the end of cooking.
2. Prepare Your Wok Space: Set the bowls of vegetables,
aromatics, rice, and soy sauce near your stove. Also, have a very small bowl of
water next to the stove.
3. Heat the Wok: Turn on a stove burner, as high as it
will go. Set a 14-inch wok over this high heat burner. To determine when the
wok is hot enough, start flicking droplets of water from the small bowl into
the pan after 30 seconds. As soon as a bead of water evaporates within 1 to 2
seconds of contact, the wok is heated and ready for stir-frying. Do not
overheat the wok.
4. Pull Wok off the Heat and Add Oil, Then Stir-Fry
Aromatics: Pull the wok off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Pick up the
pan and carefully swirl it to coat the bottom and sides. (If the wok smokes
wildly the moment you add the oil you've overheated the wok. Remove the wok
from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. When it's cool enough to
handle carefully remove the oil with paper towels, wash the wok, and start
again.)
With the wok back over the heat, add the ginger and red
pepper flakes and stir fry for 10 seconds or until fragrant.
5. Add the Carrots and Stir-Fry: Add the carrots and stir
fry for 30 seconds, or until the carrots are bright orange.
6. Add the Corn and Peas and Stir-Fry: Add the corn and
peas and stir fry for 1 minute.
7. Add 1 More Tablespoon Oil: Swirl the remaining
tablespoon of oil into the wok.
8. Add the Rice and Scallions and Stir-Fry for 2 Minutes:
Add the rice and scallions stir-fry for 2 minutes, breaking up the rice with
the spatula until it is heated through.
9. Season the Rice: Season the rice with the salt and
white pepper.
10. Add the Sauce: Pour the soy sauce around the edges of
the wok and stir-fry.
11. Finish the Rice: Add the chopped egg pancake and pine nuts. Toss to combine. Alternatively, you can stir in 1 beaten egg. Stir-fry until the egg is no longer wet. Stir in the cilantro.

A farmer came across a bird with a broken wing. He picked it up, took it
home and looked after it lovingly, even though his wife complained
bitterly about his wasting too much time on the creature. After some
time, the wing mended and, because the bird did not want the farmer to
have kept on arguing with his wife all the time, it decided to go back
to its nest. When the farmer discovered that he went out to look for it.
Eventually, he found it again, and was greeted happily by the whole
family of the bird. As a sign of their thanks for his care and
attention, the birds gave him a little box, and told him not to open it
until he got home. To his surprised, the farmer found the box full of
precious stones. When his wife saw them, she decided that she too
deserved a reward, and she went to see the birds. The birds gave her a
little casket, but this one was full of devils. The devils jumped on her
as soon as she opened the casket and chased her away. Left alone, the
farmer went to live near his friend, the bird. There he built a hut of
perfumed wood, and the birds decorated it with flowers of many kinds.

Basuki Tjahaya Purnama, better known as Ahok, will be the first ethnic Chinese to govern Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta.
Ahok is not
the first ethnic Chinese to gain political prominence in Indonesia,
where the Muslim-Javanese group dominates political positions. But he
may be the first to break unspoken barriers of expected behaviors and
norms of an ethnic Chinese participating in politics.
The outspoken
and sometimes brash deputy governor will take over Jakarta’s helm when
the incumbent Joko Widodo, the country’s president-elect better known as
Jokowi, takes office in October.
Ahok stands out from the crowd
Ahok is a distinctive figure in Indonesian politics. This is not simply due to his “double minority” status as Chinese Indonesian and Christian but also a result of how he regards or disregards those labels.
In
Indonesia, ethnic Chinese were subjected to discriminatory laws during
Suharto’s dictatorship. When Suharto fell from power in 1998, they were
the targets of anti-Chinese riots.
Ahok never
shied away from his ethnicity. In his campaigns and when dealing with
political situations, he often mentions his Chinese heritage. He has
told self-deprecating jokes by referring to himself as a pork-eating
infidel. When he ran for governor of Bangka Belitung, an archipelagic
province off Sumatra, his campaign material had a picture of him in full
Mandarin outfit.
But Ahok does
not use his ethnicity to gain popular support. While some Chinese
Indonesians form part of his support, his base of voters has never been
built on ethnicity or identity politics.
This is
different from most Chinese Indonesians who climbed the “political
track”. Elected leaders of Chinese ethnicity would typically be in
charge in areas with a large Chinese population such as Singkawang, West
Kalimantan.
There are
exceptions. The recently elected mayor of Central Java town Malang,
Mochamad Anton, is Chinese Indonesian. But Anton is a Muslim. His
ethnicity is diluted by his religious identity.
Anton holds
the prestigious Haj title. He is also part of the local Nahdlatul Ulama
chapter, Indonesia’s biggest Islamic mass organisation. His appointment
has not created much buzz due to these factors.
Some Chinese
Indonesians gain political prominence by being appointed as ministers or
to other bureaucratic posts. In such cases, the president or regional
leaders appoint them mostly for their skills, usually in the fields of
economics, finance and trade.
This is where
Ahok is different from other prominent Chinese Indonesians. Ahok is not a
technocrat. He has held political positions in areas where Chinese
Indonesians are minorities.
Ahok started
his political career in a region where his ethnicity is not political
capital to run for local government. He first served as a councillor in
his home town Belitung Timur, a small town in the Bangka-Belitung
Islands made famous by Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warriors) author Andrea Hirata. He became regent of Belitung Timur in 2005.
After two
years as regent, Ahok ran for Bangka-Belitung governor and lost in a
close race. He continued his political progress by becoming a
parliamentary member representing the region.
He rose to his
current position by adamantly pursuing his political ambitions. When
not endorsed by his party (Golkar) to run as governor of Jakarta in
2012, he ran as an independent before Gerindra recruited him. He then
ran as deputy governor with Jokowi.
Moving away from identity politics?
Does Ahok’s
rise shows a shift in Indonesia’s sociopolitical atmosphere in regard to
identity politics? Do Indonesian people no longer care about their
leaders' ethnicity and religion?
Jakarta’s 2012 gubernatorial election and the nation’s July 2014 presidential election tell us a few things.
In both
elections, Jokowi and Ahok (2012) and Jokowi (2014) had huge public
support and enthusiasm behind them. And in both contests opponents used
smear campaigns on religious and ethnic issues.
The smear
campaign against Jokowi, who was accused of being a secret Christian of
Chinese descent, almost worked. He lost his double-digit lead in opinion
surveys just weeks before the election. Jokowi won, but with a close
margin of 53% to 46%.
Ethnicity and
religion do have traction in elections, but they are not make-or-break
factors. Religious identity in general is a more significant factor than
ethnic identity.
Based on the results of a March 2014 CSIS national
survey, it appears that Indonesia is not ready for people from minority
groups to lead the nation. When asked if they objected to having an
ethnic Chinese as president or vice-president, close to two-thirds of
respondents said they did. The percentage rose to 71.7% when asked if
they objected to having a non-Muslim president or vice-president.
But when we
replace the conceptual question with real-case scenarios the results
differ. The same survey presented several presidential pair scenarios.
Interestingly, pairing Jokowi and Ahok as presidential and
vice-presidential candidates did not diminish Jokowi’s electability.
What do Chinese Indonesians think of Ahok?
It has often
been overlooked that Chinese Indonesians are very heterogeneous socially
and politically. Yet they are often treated and viewed as a monolithic
group.
There are a
variety of views in regard to the political participation of ethnic
Chinese. Some are still cautious, traumatised by the 1998 riots. Others
are quite enthusiastic about entering the political sphere.
The same
varied views apply to Ahok. Some are proud and supportive of his
accomplishments, while others are apprehensive. There are those who have
reservations due to a fear that his brash demeanour may create a
backlash against the Chinese, while a smaller minority are not
supportive of him as he does not give special privileges.
Pushing Indonesia to its multicultural potential
Regardless of the changes in political dynamics nationally and among Chinese Indonesians, Ahok is pushing the nation forward.
He is breaking
barriers that had defined Indonesia’s socio-political environment. He
has changed the game by having voters appraise politicians on their
merits instead of ethnic and religious markers.
Yet Ahok is
also an Indonesian politician who is unashamedly Chinese and Christian.
He carries his background with pride, not for his identity but for
Indonesia’s multicultural potential.
Analysis:
1. Below are sentences containing –ing form as verb:
- Regardless of the changes in political dynamics nationally and among Chinese Indonesians, Ahok is pushing the nation forward.
- He is breaking barriers that had defined Indonesia’s socio-political environment.
The sentences

The welfare of
Finnish society is built on education, culture and knowledge. The
flexible education system and basic educational security make for equity
and consistency in results. The Finnish education system is composed
of:
- nine-year basic education (comprehensive school) for the whole age group, preceded by one year of voluntary pre-primary education
- upper secondary education, comprising general education and vocational education and training (vocational qualifications and further and specialist qualifications)
- higher education, provided by universities and polytechnics
Learning pathway
In Finland,
pre-primary education, basic education and upper secondary education and
training, complemented by early childhood education and before- and
after-school activities, form a coherent learning pathway that supports
children's growth, development and well-being.
The Finnish
education system has no dead-ends. Learners can always continue their
studies on an upper level of education, whatever choices they make in
between. The practice of recognition of prior learning has been
developed in order to avoid unnecessary overlapping of studies.
Students'
opportunities to progress from one level of education to the next is
safeguarded by legislation. Both general and vocational upper secondary
certificates provide eligibility for further studies.
Higher
education is offered by universities and polytechnics. Both sectors have
their own profiles. Universities emphasise scientific research and
instruction. Polytechnics, also known as universities of applied
sciences, adopt a more practical approach.
Adult
education is provided at all levels of education. Adults can study for a
general education certificate or for a vocational qualification, or
modules included in them, take other courses developing citizenship and
work skills, or pursue recreational studies.
Active:
Passive:
1. The flexible education system and basic educational security make for equity and consistency in results.
Active voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. The subjects of the sentence are The flexible education system and basic educational security which come before the verb make. The tense of this sentence is simple present where the form of the verb is simple form.
2. The Finnish education system has no dead-ends.
Maybe
we can say that the simple form of an active sentence is S + V + O + C.
Based on that formula, the subject of the sentence is The Finnish education system, while the verb is has, and no dead-endsas the object of the sentence.
3. Learners can always continue their studies on an upper level of education, whatever choices they make in between.
The sentence is also an active sentence because it has a subject who does an action, learners. Besides, it has can as the modal auxiliary which comes before the verb continue. For your information, modal auxiliaries are followed by the simple form of a verb.
4. Both general and vocational upper secondary certificates provide eligibility for further studies.
This sentence uses simple present tense because it uses provide as the verb of the plural subjects Both general and vocational upper secondary certificates.
5. Universities emphasise scientific research and instruction.
This sentence contains of subject universities, verb emphasise, and object scientific research and instruction. So, it is simply said as an active sentence.
1. The welfare of Finnish society is built on education, culture and knowledge.
It is a passive voice because we see the keyword is in the sentence. After the be is there is builtas the past participle verb. The subject of the sentence is The welfare of Finnish society.
2. The practice of recognition of prior learning has been developed in order to avoid unnecessary overlapping of studies.
The sentence
above is also identified as a passive voice. Just like what we read
before that the form of passive voice is be + past participle. What is
the be? The be is has been. Now what is the past participle? Developed is.
3. Students' opportunities to progress from one level of education to the next is safeguarded by legislation.
Now we find a different passive voice from 2 sentences above. This sentence uses by phrase.The by phrase is included if it is important to know who performs an action. So, for this sentencelegislation is an important information to know. The keyword to define that this sentence is passive voice is the word is safeguarded.
4. Higher education is offered by universities and polytechnics.
We can change this passive sentence to active first. The active sentence should be: Universities and polytechnics offer higher education. According to Betty Azar, the subject of an active sentence is the object of by in
the “by phrase” in a passive sentence. One of another reason to say
that it is a passive sentence is the existence of be + past participle,
that is is offered.
5. Adult education is provided at all levels of education.
We can recognize that this sentence is in passive voice because the keyword is is used. Moreover, there is past participle after the be, provided.

Indonesians shop online mostly to buy fashion, cosmetic and electronic products;
airline tickets; and tour packages according to a new survey conducted
by Visa Worldwide Indonesia. The survey indicated that Indonesian online
shoppers spent US$500 per year on average on buying airline
tickets and accommodation and about $194 per year on fashion products
and cosmetics last year.
“No one can
deny that travelling has become a need. People always need holidays in
the hustle and bustle of their lives, especially in big cities like
Jakarta,” said Visa president director Ellyana Fuad on Tuesday. “Similar
to holidays, fashion and cosmetics have also become a need,” she added.
The survey was
conducted last year on 516 respondents through an interview and group
discussion held in Jakarta, Bandung, Bekasi, Depok (West Java),
Tangerang (Banten), Surabaya (East Java), Semarang (Central Java), Medan
(North Sumatra), Makassar (South Sulawesi) and other big cities across
the archipelago. The respondents are aged above 18 years and are
actively involved in online shopping through credit and debit cards. Based on the survey, Visa estimated online shopping in the country would grow by around 40 percent this year and 53 percent next year, from 23 percent the previous year.
“We believe
online shopping will grow sharply in the future because of the
increasing middle class in the country,” said Ellyana.
Middle-class people require efficiency in their business transactions so they will optimize Internet connections to shop for commodities or pay bills. Due to the bright economic outlook,
the Indonesian middle class will grow and their needs of online
shopping will follow, Ellyana explained. The projected sharp increase
in the number of the online shoppers was supported by the country’s
demographics, said Ellyana, adding that Indonesians are mostly young and
active people with an average age of 28.
“The young are
different than the old. Young people are really familiar with the
Internet and they use it not only to contact their friends but also to
shop for goods. This will grow e-commerce in the country.”
The survey showed online shoppers mostly preferred using credit cards as their payment method instead of moneytransfers and Internet banking as
they can pay by instalments via credit card. The survey also said that
out of 10 online shoppers, nine used personal computers and laptops when
they browsed and shopped online.
“Online
shoppers prefer to use these things rather than cell phones. They tend
to use cell phones to share information instead of for online shopping,”
said Ellyana. (alz)
When I was a
little girl, I suddenly fell in love with AS Roma football team,
especially with its legend, Francesco Totti. Same with it, I loved Italy
with no reason. Italy is home to the greatest number of UNESCO World
Heritage Sites in the world. High art and monuments are to be found
everywhere around the country. Its great cities of art, like Rome,
Venice and Florence are world famous and have been attracting visitors
for centuries. Besides its art treasures Italy also features beautiful
coasts, alpine lakes and mountains. No wonder it is often nicknamed the
Bel Paese (beautiful country). For me Italy is such a romantic classic
state. Come on, I will invite you to go to Italy, eventough it is just
an imagination. Enjoy it!
Grand Canal, Venice.
Venice is also
known as The City of Water in Italy. It becomes the first top tourists
attraction in Italy with its romantic charm. If I could go to Italy,
Iwould come to Grand Canal in Venice firstly. Why? Because there is
gondola. Romantic gondolas, and Italian architecture along the Grand
Canal helped earn this status. The Grand Canal snakes through the city
of Venice in a large S shape. It is believed that the Grand Canal
follows the course of an ancient river. The traditional ways in this
city are connected by canals. Well, there is only water transport in
Venice. So, gondola is used to travel around the canal. No trip to
Venice would be complete without a punt down one of the city's
picturesque waterways in an iconic gondola. Stitched together with over
150 canals that have become central to its character, Venice has decayed
since its heyday and has more tourists than residents, but with its
romantic charm it remains one of the top tourist attractions in Italy.
The Colosseum, Rome.
The Colosseum
in Rome is the largest and most famous amphitheater in the Roman world.
Its construction was started by emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty
in 72 AD and was finished by his son Titus in 80 AD. The Colosseum was
capable of holding some 50,000 spectators who could enter the building
through no less than 80 entrances. Spectators were protected from the
rain and heat of the sun by sails called the “velarium”, that was
attached around the top of the attic. Colosseum was used for
Gladiator competition, like in film Gladiator. Despite being destroyed
by the earthquake and many of stolen stone, Colosseum is still be the
symbol of Roman glory.
Leaning Tower of Pisa, Pisa.
The world
famous Pisa Tower was built over a period of about 177 years. Soon after
the construction started in 1173 the tower began to sink due to a
poorly laid foundation and was left alone for almost a century. When the
construction resumed the engineers built higher floors with one side
taller than the other to compensate for the tilt and the tower was
finally finished in the 2nd half of the 14th century. Since 2001, the
famous tower in Pisa is again open to those wishing to climb it’s 296
steps. The slope of the building is what makes it an unique identity in
Italy, especially Pisa city.

In startup companies, HR's duties may be performed by a handful of trained professionals or even by non-HR personnel. In larger companies, an entire functional group is typically dedicated to the discipline, with staff specializing in various HR tasks and functional leadership engaging in strategic decision making across the business. To train practitioners for the profession, institutions of higher education, professional associations, and companies themselves have created programs of study dedicated explicitly to the duties of the function. Academic and practitioner organizations likewise seek to engage and further the field of HR, as evidenced by several field-specific publications.
A human resource management system (HRMS) or human resource information system (HRIS),
refers to the systems and processes at the intersection between human
resource management (HRM) and information technology. It merges HRM as a
discipline and in particular its basic HR activities and processes with
the information technology field, whereas the programming of data
processing systems evolved into standardized routines and packages of
enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. On the whole, these ERP
systems have their origin on software that integrates information from
different applications into one universal database. The linkage of its
financial and human resource modules through one database is the most
important distinction to the individually and proprietary developed
predecessors, which makes this software application both rigid and
flexible.
The function of human resources (HR) departments is generally administrative and common to all organizations. Organizations may have formalized selection, evaluation, and payroll processes. Efficient and effective management of "human capital" progressed to an increasingly imperative and complex process. The HR function consists of tracking existing employee data which traditionally includes personal histories, skills, capabilities, accomplishments and salary. To reduce the manual workload of these administrative activities, organizations began to electronically automate many of these processes by introducing specialized human resource management systems. HR executives rely on internal or external IT professionals to develop and maintain an integrated HRMS. Before the client-serverarchitecture evolved in the late 1980s, many HR automation processes were relegated to mainframe computers that could handle large amounts of data transactions. In consequence of the high capital investment necessary to buy or program proprietary software, these internally developed HRMS were limited to organizations that possessed a large amount of capital. The advent of client-server, application service provider, and software as a service (SaaS) or human resource management systems enabled increasingly higher administrative control of such systems. Currently human resource management systems encompass[citation needed]:
The time and attendance module gathers standardized time and work related efforts. The most advanced modules provide broad flexibility in data collection methods, labor distribution capabilities and data analysis features. Cost analysis and efficiency metrics are the primary functions.
The benefits administration module provides a system for organizations to administer and track employee participation in benefits programs. These typically encompass insurance, compensation, profit sharing and retirement.
The HR management module is a component covering many other HR aspects from application to retirement. The system records basic demographic and address data, selection, training and development, capabilities and skills management, compensation planning records and other related activities. Leading edge systems provide the ability to "read" applications and enter relevant data to applicable database fields, notify employers and provide position management and position control. Human resource management function involves the recruitment, placement, evaluation, compensation and development of the employees of an organization. Initially, businesses used computer based information systems to:
The training module provides a system for organizations to administer and track employee training and development efforts. The system, normally called a "learning management system" (LMS) if a stand alone product, allows HR to track education, qualifications and skills of the employees, as well as outlining what training courses, books, CDs, web based learning or materials are available to develop which skills. Courses can then be offered in date specific sessions, with delegates and training resources being mapped and managed within the same system. Sophisticated LMS allow managers to approve training, budgets and calendars alongside performance management and appraisal metrics.
The employee self-service module allows employees to query HR related data and perform some HR transactions over the system. Employees may query their attendance record from the system without asking the information from HR personnel. The module also lets supervisors approve O.T. requests from their subordinates through the system without overloading the task on HR department.
Many organizations have gone beyond the traditional functions and developed human resource management information systems, which support recruitment, selection, hiring, job placement, performance appraisals, employee benefit analysis, health, safety and security, while others integrate an outsourced applicant tracking system that encompasses a subset of the above.

Besides
enjoying those 4 attractions, I also want to enjoy another special
place. It is a restaurant which located in Vacone, it also the smallest
restaurant in the world. Why is it special? Because this restaurant has
only 1 table with 2 chairs which just can serve 2 guests at a time. So
there are no queues, no turns, and no waiting. Its name is Solo Per Due
or "Just For Two". This unique restaurant tries to spoil the
customers with a very intimate atmosphere. This singular characteristic
has made Solo Per Due world famous, and it has become an unmissable
experience for visitors to Italy, and particularly for the romantically
inclined.
You will find
the libro dei pensieri, or, book of thoughts, where lovers who have come
here from all over the world have recorded their stories, be they
romantic, voluptuous or sad. Solo Per Due offers exclusively Italian
cuisine, accompanied by wines from only the best cellars. Oh Gee, it
will be very sweet moment if one day I could go there with my
sweetheart.
Those are what
I can share you about some attractions in Italy. May them be usefull
for all of you who want to make it true to go to Italy, not only an
imagination anymore.

Human resource management (HRM, or simply HR)
is the management of an organization's workforce, or human resources.
It is responsible for the attraction, selection, training, assessment,
and rewarding of employees, while also overseeing organizational
leadership and culture, and ensuring compliance with employment and
labor laws. In circumstances where employees desire and are legally
authorized to hold a collective bargaining agreement, HR will also serve
as the company's primary liaison with the employees' representatives
(usually a labor union).
HR
is a product of the human relations movement of the early 20th century,
when researchers began documenting ways of creating business value
through the strategic management of the workforce. The function was
initially dominated by transactional work such as payroll and benefits
administration, but due to globalization, company consolidation,
technological advancement, and further research, HR now focuses on
strategic initiatives like mergers and acquisitions, talent management,
succession planning, industrial and labor relations, and diversity and
inclusion.In startup companies, HR's duties may be performed by a handful of trained professionals or even by non-HR personnel. In larger companies, an entire functional group is typically dedicated to the discipline, with staff specializing in various HR tasks and functional leadership engaging in strategic decision making across the business.
