Home > About Us > Corporate Governance
1. Basic concept
At FGI, we recognize that management transparency is invaluable for good corporate governance. In addition to implementing procedures in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, such as the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and securities exchange regulations for timely disclosure, we undertake timely investor relations (IR) activities to provide useful information from a stakeholder's perspective. We efficiently disclose to shareholders, employees and the market in general such management information as financial position, business developments, fiscal performance, risk factors and structures that underpin good corporate governance practices.
While maintaining a high standard of management transparency and constantly tracking business activities from a compliance standpoint, FGI seeks to maintain a structure for corporate governance that emphasizes swift and accurate management decisions regarding the execution of operations. This focus supports appropriate pursuit of profits as well as improved long-term corporate value and return to shareholders—two of the most important tasks of any publicly listed company.
2. Corporate Structure
FGI subscribes to the auditor system.
The Board of Directors comprises six directors, including one outside director. In principle, the Board of Directors meets monthly, with special meetings held, if necessary, to discuss important issues facing the Company, to decide on appropriate courses of action and to supervise the execution of business operations. The Company has three Audit & Supervisory Board Members, who also attend these meetings to ensure that directors exercise good judgment in the decision-making process. FGI maintains an executive officer system, designed to separate executive decision-making and oversight functions from the business execution function, to expedite decision-making processes, and to reinforce day-to-day activities. The Company has seven executive officers, including three senior executive officers, and two of the executive officers also hold positions as directors.
The Audit & Supervisory Board comprises three Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members. The Audit & Supervisory Board of Auditors meets once a month. The actions of directors are constantly monitored from an independent standpoint by the Members, who track progress in the execution of directors' duties and ensure the legality of these activities in accordance with such criteria as auditing plans and auditing policy set by the Members. FGI has built an effective watchdog system that promotes communication and regular exchange of information among accounting auditors, the Internal Audit Office and the Audit & Supervisory Board.
The Management Meeting is an integral component of the corporate structure. It serves to support highly transparent management and underpins the implementation of flexible business strategies. These meetings are attended by directors, executive officers and division managers and provide opportunities to report on business-related developments, discuss pertinent items and determine suitable responses. The Company established the Risk Management Compliance Committee, which discusses issues related to risk management and compliance practices and assists the Board of Directors in an advisory capacity.
3. Status of risk management system
FGI established and enforces risk management rules, basic policy for risk management, and rules for contingency planning to control risks. Divisions are assigned risk categories and undertake measures to control respective risk, enabling the Company to realize a broad-based corporate risk management system.
To reinforce the corporate legal risk management structure for business management and day-to-day operations, the Company retains the services of a law firm for legal guidance, including fact-based opinions and advice.
The Company and its subsidiaries obtain legal assistance for each structured finance transaction and asset management services at the time of arrangement or undertaking, and put pertinent documentation through a legal check.
4. Internal audits and status of audits
Internal audits are conducted by a internal auditing officer in the Internal Audit Office under the direct supervision of the president. The officer is responsible for auditing the operations of divisions, including those of the Company and key members of the Group. These audits serve to pinpoint the status of business activities in each division and provide direction for addressing problem areas and building a better legal compliance structure. The results are forwarded to the president and Audit & Supervisory Board Members, and progress on corrective action is monitored. A structure is in place at FGI and Group companies whereby the Internal Audit Office reports to the Board of Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members regarding important issues, such as basic policy on internal audit plans and the results of audits.
Audit & Supervisory Board Members undertake monthly audits. Issues of concern are raised with the Board of Directors when necessary and improvement status is followed closely. In this way, Audit & Supervisory Board Members audit the execution of duties by members of the board at the company and Group companies through a review of business operations and confirmation of asset status.
5. Cooperation among internal, accounting auditor and audit & Supervisory board member
(1) Cooperation between Audit & Supervisory Board and Internal Auditing Office
Audit & Supervisory Board Members maintain close contact with the Internal Auditing Office during the implementation of audits to pinpoint the status of corporate activities and assets and also during the execution of other auditing duties. Audit & Supervisory Board Members receive reports on every audit undertaken by the Internal Auditing Office.
(2) Cooperation between audit & supervisory board members and accounting auditor
Audit & Supervisory Board Members maintain close contact with the accounting auditor through several means, including the receipt of quarterly reports. When required, Audit & Supervisory Board Members will actively exchange opinions and information with the accounting auditor, a level of cooperation that includes on-site audits and a presence at audit reviews.
(3) Cooperation between Internal Auditing Office and accounting auditor
The Internal Auditing Office reinforces lines of communication to the accounting auditor through exchange of opinions and information as needed. This improves audit quality.

Q: How to store directory, sub directory and file paths in a Python Dictionary? I am developing a software which analyze excel files stored in Years directories which contains months directories and each month directory consist of excel files. Structure as shown below.

In order to achieve my goal, I have used the code below
os.walk("..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports")

the above code shows all the directories, sub directories and files

('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports', ['2022', '2023'], [])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022', ['1', '10', '11', '12', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9'], [])
('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\1', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\10', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\11', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\12', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\2', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\3', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\4', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\5', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\6', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\7', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\8', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2022\9', [], ['Basic Facilities.csv'])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2023', ['1'], [])('..\..\..\..\ema_monthly_reports\2023\1', [], ['Basic Facilities.xlsx'])

but I don't know how to properly manage years, months and files names in dictionary format.

A: One way you can store this in a dictionary format would be to store them as nested dictionary. Something like the following:
directories = {"ema_monthly_reports":
    {"2022":
        {"1":"Basic Facilities.csv"},
        {"2":"Basic Facilities.csv"},
        ...
    },
    {"2023":
        {"1":"Basic Facilities.csv"},
        {"2":"Basic Facilities.csv"},
        ...
    }
}

In order to store values in this format. I think it is better to use os.listdir() and then write a recursive function like so:
import os

def dir_as_dict(path, sep="/"):
    dictdir = {}

    if os.path.isfile(path):
        return None

    subdirs = os.listdir(path)

    for subdir in subdirs:
        #function runs recursively
        dictdir[subdir] = dir_as_dict(path+sep+subdir)

    return dictdir

Keep in mind that with this approach, files will be listed as a key that gives out the value None, which is necessary to make the recursive call work (since one directory can have both files and subdirectories).
My test output
>>> dir_as_dict("./test")
{'2022': {'1': {'report.txt': None}, '2': {'report.txt': None}, '3': {'report.txt': None, 'report2.txt': None}, '4': {}}, '2023': {'1': {'report.txt': None}, '2': {'report.txt': None}, '3': {'report.txt': None, 'report2.txt': None}, '4': {}}}

WHETHER it's a ex's name, a holiday mistake or a trend that's gone way out of fashion, plenty of people have tattoos they regret.
Laser tattoo removalLaser tattoo removal is the most recommended and most popular method of permanent tattoo removal. It works by breaking down the ink particles in the tattoo, which are then removed by the immune system.
How many sessions you'll need depends on the size and age of the tattoo and the colour - as some generally lighter-coloured, inks are more difficult to remove than others. Usually, results won't be absolutely immediate - with fading occurring gradually over the 2 month healing period between each treatment.
Tattoos can be faded ready for a cover up inking.
Laser removal can be uncomfortable, expensive, and in some cases leave scarring - but it's the most non-invasive permanent option, and it's completely safe.
Make upThere are a number of heavy-duty make-up products, such as Dermablend (£29.75) specifically designed for covering up tattoos - but there are plenty of high street brands which can be just as effective. The trick is to use a thicker, lighter-coloured concealer, then cover with a shade of foundation that matches your skin and set with powder for a natural look.
SurgeryDepending on the size of your tattoo, surgery to cut out the inked section of skin could be an option. Surgery is a quicker option - and sometimes gives good results as the scar fades. However, it can also cause unsightly scarring, and if the incisions made aren't deep enough the tattoo may not be totally removed. So, surgical removal isn't suitable for all types of tattoo, meaning it's crucial to seek a detailed consultation before making a decision.
What NOT to doThere are other, often outdated, tattoo removal methods you may come across while researching tattoo removal. Methods such as dermabrasion and salabrasion, which involve effectively sanding away the skin, are extremely painful, cause and put you at risk of infection. Meanwhile, cryotherapy, which freeze-burns the skin, can damage the skin outside of the tattooed area. Generally, methods which target the skin itself are best left alone.
Feel free to CALL us anytime during normal business hours if you have any questions you have.

Wireless carriers aren't the only place kicking off iPhone 6 and 6 Plus preorders at midnight tonight.
You'll also be able to preorder the new iPhones in Apple's online store starting at 12 a.m. PT on Friday. That means for those of you on the East Coast, you'll be able to place your orders at 3 a.m. ET; Midwesterners can start shopping at 2 a.m. CT; and so on and so forth around the globe. (You can find out what time preorders will start in your time zone by clicking here.)
On its store site, Apple noted preorders begin September 12, but it didn't specify what time they would hit. In the past, Apple has started online advance ordering at midnight, and it will continue that trend this year.
The timing coincides with the preorder launch at Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular, among other sellers. You also can place your order at a physical Apple retail store beginning at 8 a.m. local time on Friday. And several retailers also will get in on the act Friday in their physical stores, including RadioShack, Sam's Club, Target, and Walmart. Best Buy will offer online preorders for only the Sprint version of the iPhone 6 but will open up preorders for other devices in its physical stores on Friday.
For more on when and where you can get the iPhone, check out CNET's handy primer.
Apple on Tuesday showed off its newest iPhones, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. Both devices are a big jump over the 4-inch screen found in last year's iPhone 5S. In addition to being slimmer and lighter, both models also include a 64-bit A8 processor with improved graphics, an improved 8-megapixel rear camera, improved battery life, and an NFC chip that allows you to use the phone to make payments.
The iPhone 6 goes on sale September 19 in 115 countries, starting at $199 with for a version with 16 gigabytes of storage space. The iPhone 6 Plus starts at $299 for its 16-gigabyte version, $100 more. In the UK, an unlocked iPhone 6 will start at £539, and the iPhone 6 Plus will start at £619.
CNET's initial thoughts on the iPhone 6
There's no 'i' in Apple's Team Cook
iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Apple Pay, and the Apple Watch: Here's everything Apple just announced
The iPhone 6 has the potential to be the biggest launch in Apple's 38-year history. Apple reportedly has asked manufacturing partners to produce about 70 million to 80 million units of its larger screen iPhones by December 30, which is about 30 percent to 40 percent more iPhones than it ordered for its initial run of last year's iPhone 5S and 5C.
Along with the new phones, Apple on Tuesday unveiled its first wearable, the Apple Watch , which won't go on sale until early 2015. Apple CEO Tim Cook called the watch a "breakthrough" product that works as a health and fitness device, a walkie-talkie, an Apple TV remote control, and a notification device, among other things. Cook also introduced Apple Pay, a new system that allows users to buy items by tapping their iPhones to sales terminals and by using their fingerprint for quick online purchases.
The Apple Watch "is the next chapter in Apple's history," Cook said Tuesday to the audience of more than 2,000 people. "The foundation of Apple is built on the best computers in the world with the Macintosh, the best tablets in the world with iPad , the best phones in the world with iPhone, and it was made even better today."
Updated at 4:05 p.m. PT to include information about Best Buy offering the Sprint version online.

Eco-Friendly + Recyclable Packaging - no plastic!
Enjoy eco-friendly and BPA-free bamboo toothbrushes with either our "original" style or "multi-color" brushes with our unique color-coded handles that make them easy to identify for everyone in the family. Choose from adult and child size brushes.
Using bamboo is the earth-friendly way to avoid plastic toothbrushes that are not bio-degradable and harm our environment by taking hundreds of years to decompose. Our environmentally friendly Mao bamboo handles can be disposed of safely by returning them to the earth in compost or soil and will decompose without pollution.
The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends replacing toothbrushes at least every 3 - 4 months to prevent bacteria build-up, spreading of sickness or cold, and wear out of bristles which can lead to loss of cleaning effectiveness.
I bought a set of the bamboo toothbrushes and have been using them for about a month now. They've held up fine and have had no bristles fall out or any problems at all. I make sure to dry the handles after each use. Good product for the price.
I've been using Lifestyle Bamboo Toothbrushes for several month now and I absolutely love them. Also the bamboo washclothes are great for my daily facial routine; soft and easy to wash.

SilverStone's RVZ01 case has been quite popular for the company and they are following it up with the RVZ02. If you know about the RVZ01, you know it is an extremely small and compact case. Well SilverStone was able to make the RVZ02 even smaller! It has a volume of only 10 liters compared to the 14 liters of the RVZ01.
Besides just making the case smaller SilverStone has added some newer features like windows that will show off your installed graphics card and your motherboard. And the side panels of the case are interchangeable so you don't have to remember which one is which. On the front of the case you will find a hidden compartment that houses two USB 3.0 ports and HD audio connections.
Moving to the inside of the case SilverStone has made it even easier for you to do your installation my making graphics card and SSD installation much easier. Talking about graphics cards this small case can fit a dual-slot graphics card up to 11.5-inches long, so you will have no problem getting a GTX 980 in there. The RVZ02 is expected to launch in the second quarter of this year, no word on pricing.
SilverStone also showed us an updated version of the RVZ01 that they are calling the FTZ01, with "FT" standing for fortress. Unlike the original version the FTZ01 is made of solid aluminum and has a great look to it. The FTZ01 will launch later this month with an asking price of $129.

York Racecourse railway station, also known as York Holgate Excursion Platform and Holgate Bridge railway station, served the York Racecourse in Holgate, York, England, from 1860 to 1939 on the York and North Midland Railway.

History
The station was opened on 14 December 1860 by the North Eastern Railway. It was only used on race days. A cattle dock and a third platform were added on 25 September 1861. The sidings were used when the passenger numbers became too high, although this drew complaints due to delays and chaos. The station was last used for the races on 24 August 1939. Not much of the platforms remain.

Solid 8-game slate today that I'm feeling pretty confident in. We'll try to find some spots to expose in my article today. Make sure as usual to leverage some of my TOP GPP options with a core of chalkier plays. Let's get into my top GPP plays for this slate. You can access my CORE GPP Plays by signing up for an NBA package at dfskarma.com!
AS NBA is a game where last-minute real-life changes are made before tipoff, always monitor breaking news up to last second!
The plays below in this daily article are low owned pivots and GPP plays. This means that these players will be RELATIVELY low owned, and 'contrarian' relative to the more highly owned, chalky plays of the night.
Ben Simmons: Ben Simmons is shaping up as my favorite play on this slate and while I don't think he'll be a particularly low-owned player I do believe there will be a large leverage opportunity by being overexposed to him on this slate where people are going to be scared off by Kawhi defense. This is not a particularly difficult matchup for Simmons to exploit where I don't believe Leonard will be playing a lot of man defense as obviously the Sixers will be running a ton of pick and rolls with Embiid who also is in a fantastic matchup against the under-sized Ibaka. Simmons is only 8.6k and has been producing the best he has all season averaging close to 1.4 FP/min. The total on this game is at 231 and projected to stay tight. Simmons is a lock for me tonight.
Jordan Clarkson: If you're looking to find some cheaper value at the PG position, Clarkson (as well as SGA) offer a ton of upside at a modest price point. While I usually avoid targeting players from the Cavs, his minutes have been stable the past two games (around 30) and his usage rate has stayed consistent with his season hovering around the 30%+ mark. He's destroyed value in three straight games and has another 8-9x ceiling tonight against the Celtics.
Lou Williams: If you don't get exposure to Shai you likely want to get some shares of Lou Williams as this Clippers backcourt is primed for a big game. Walker grades as one of the worst defender in the league and Williams has been on fire of late. Over the last couple weeks the Clippers guard is averaging 1.33 FP/min and outside of his last game against the Raptors (blowout), he had posted five consecutive games of exceeding value for his Draftkings price. His price has actually come down a bit and now sits at just 7.3k. Williams is a lock for value tonight in my opinion with 50+ DK point upside. Fantastic play.
Jimmy Butler: I'm pretty high on all three bigs for the Sixers today with Simmons, Butler, and Embiid on my radar. While I will not be playing all three in a lineup it could be sharp to pair up a combo of the three whether that be Simmons/Butler or Simmons/Embiid. Butler is obviously idged about not making the all-star team and it showed in his last game against the Kings where his usage rate spiked and he went off for 29 points and 50 DK points. His price is still extremely reasonable at just 7.5k and if you're looking to pivot off the Lou Williams play I listed above, Butler is the way to go.
Evan Fournier: SF is a position I'll be paying semi-down for today with Fournier and Batum. Both players offer a solid ceiling given their price tags on Draftkings. His cold shooting has brought his price down to 5.1k which is a complete bargain for the type of minutes he's locked into on this Magic rotation. Fournier would have to have a disastrous night not to hit value at this price. His upside is over 40 DK points and given the pace + total of this game I think that will be a real possibility.
Nicolas Batum: Batum is a do it all player who contributes across a lot of different categories. His price has slowly been creeping up on Draftkings over the last two weeks after posting above expected value in eight straight games. The Hornets are surprisingly favored in this game that holds a 224 total. Batum is going to be a significant contributor if this game plays out like Vegas is telling us it will.
Blake Griffin: Blake is another guy I'm looking to prioritize as someone to pay up for on this slate. The addition of DeAndre Jordan might be able to help the horrid interior defense for the Knicks but Griffin will get the better matchup with Noah Vonleh and then Luke Kornet. Griffin has been playing as great as he has all season (at least from a fantasy production perspective) but is priced 1.3k lower than his peak. It's hard enough to get exposure to power forward with a usage rate above 25% but to combine a projected 30% usage rate with a projected 39 minutes from Griffin is insane. The total on this game isn't great but unless Blake pulls one of those zero rebound games, a ceiling game is a real possibility.
Jaren Jackson: Jaren Jackson is one of the over-looked rookies from this draft that has actually been having a great first season for the Grizzlies. As you may know, if you've been following NBA DFS, the Timberwolves are a terrible defensive team when it comes to players in the paint, somewhere Jackson dominates. Jackson has shown big numbers when given the minutes and I'm willing to take a chance his minutes get a bump tonight with the need to match up with both Gibson and Towns inside. Jackson will likely go under 10% owned tonight and is a great leverage play if you're looking to get off Ibaka/Gordon/Williams (chalkier options – also notable Kelly Olynyk is mega chalk tonight).
Myles Turner: Myles Turner AND Domantas Sabonis have essentially the best matchup on the board for bigs. I'm willing to pay the premium for Turner where his minutes are much secure and his ceiling essentially the same as Sabonis. Turner has been known to crush in +EV matchups in the past and although he recently got listed questionable with a bruised right thigh, he should be good to go tonight. With Dipo out for the season, we're going to continue to see Turner and some other players on this team take bigger roles in the offense. Turner is a guy who can score in a variety of ways and should be a lock for 10+ boards against a smaller Lakers frontcourt. If he's out tonight just lock in Sabonis.
Cody Zeller: I don't think Zeller will have any sort of restriction on his minutes tonight given he was out with a hand injury. That being said, he's a punt play at 4k at the center position if you're looking to get weird. Statistically, this is the best matchup on the board for a starting center and while Zeller is not known for his ceiling, he had a 44 DK point game in his 3rd game before getting injured and followed that up with two games over 24 DK points. If he plays 22+ minutes tonight, given the matchup and the total on this game he should cruise to value. A double-double would be huge which is what I am banking on.

> An historic and a family heritage
History of the Castarède family ,
the oldest house of Armagnac
1832 : A milestone year
1832 : Just a few years before France gets equipped with a railway and modern communication network.
In the meantime, in order to sell this famous Eau-de-vie, called Armagnac, practical facilities were created : Pont de Bordes, near Nérac is the place where the first trading House of Armagnac settled with its cellars alongside an old roman road and on a tributary of the Garonne river, the Baïse.
Baron Haussmann, Deputy of Nérac between 1832 and 1839, supported our family in order to get involved in the business. Thanks to him, our family has traded from 1832 casks brought by carts from the Bas Armagnac region.
For almost 50 years, Pont de Bordes and then Condom have been important center in the Armagnac trading.
Initially, our trading House has bear the name Jules Nismes Delclou& Cie.
Ennobled by King Louis XVIII in 1818, the Castarède family gave the company its name and its coat of arms.
In 1832, our company was included in the trade register as the first trading House declared in Armagnac trading.
172 years later, the Castarède family found again the Baron Haussmann spirit in settling in the heart of Paris (8th District), indeed Florence Castarède opened in 2006 a show room, a place dedicated to culture where artists, writers and Armagnac's connoisseurs can share a glass of Armagnac in a friendly atmosphere modeled on of Henri IV and D'Artagnan.
Discover our show-room in Paris
The generations succeed one another…
In 1932, Raymond Castarède took over the family company.
This family business which had a great activity in the beginning, has not known the development that it should have had for some reasons, in particular for geographical reasons. And in our family we are more collectors than merchants.

This highly sensitive person test is based on the pioneering work of researcher Elaine Aron, author of The Highly Sensitive Person.
It's an updated and expanded version of her own test, and I find it highly predictive of HSP.
Answer "true" if they are somewhat true and "false" if it's not very true or not true at all.
If you answer yes to more than 13 question, chances are you are a highly sensitive person.
Sensitivity is a spectrum, which means people can be mildly sensitive or extremely sensitive. That means that the more yeses you answer, the more sensitive you likely are.
If you answer less than 13 but above 5-6, chances are that you are mildly sensitive.

Media: Gelato
Gelato (Italian pronunciation: [dʒeˈlaːto]; lit. 'frozen') is the common word in Italian for all kinds of ice cream. In English, it specifically refers to a frozen dessert of Italian origin. Artisanal gelato in Italy generally contains 6%–9% butterfat, which is lower than other styles of frozen dessert.[16][17] Gelato typically contains 35% air (substantially less than American-style ice cream) and more flavoring than other kinds of frozen desserts, giving it a density and richness that distinguishes it from other ice creams.[18][19][20]
In the Italian language, gelato is the generic word for ice cream, independent of the style, so every kind of ice cream is referred to as gelato in Italian.[21] In the English language, however, the word gelato has come to be used to refer to a specific style of ice cream derived from the Italian artisanal tradition.[22]
Main article: History of ice cream
In 1295, Marco Polo returned to Venice from China with a recipe similar to sorbet.[23]
Cosimo Ruggeri, Bernardo Buontalenti, and Catherine de' Medici were contemporaries.[24]
In Florence, Cosimo Ruggeri (died 1615), is credited with creating the first gelato, fior di latte, at the court of Catherine de' Medici, in a competition, with the theme "il piatto più singolare che si fosse mai visto".[25][26][27][28]
In the 1530s, Catherine de' Medici took gelato to Paris.[24][29]
Since 1565, Bernardo Buontalenti (1531–1608), an innovator in ice conservation, made a sorbet, with ice, and salt, consisting of lemon, wine, milk, sugar, egg, and honey,[30] "plus orange and bergamot flavouring".[31] and is credited with inventing gelato alla crema,[24][27] the egg cream gelato,[30][32] precursor to modern Florentine gelato.[33][27]
In 1686,[27] Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli, a Sicilian,[34] brought his grandfather Francesco's[35] gelato-making machine to Paris, opened Café Procope and introduced the dessert.[36] Procopio obtained French citizenship, and a royal license from Louis XIV, making him the sole producer of the frozen dessert in the kingdom.[37][38][39]
In 1904, in America, Emery Thompson built the first automated ice cream machine.[40]
In 1945, in Bologna, Bruto Carpigiani began selling gelato-making equipment,[41][42] and created Motogelatiera, the first automated gelato machine.[32] The batch freezer made it easier to store frozen desserts.[32] Carpigiani is a big manufacturer of gelato machinery.[42] Italy is the only country where the market share of artisanal gelato versus mass-produced gelato is more than 55%.[citation needed]
The process consists of heating the ingredients to 85 °C (185 °F) for pasteurization. Then, it is lowered to 5 °C (41 °F) and mixed to the desired texture. The cold process mixes the ingredients and is batched in the freezer.[43] In the "sprint" process, milk or water is added to a package of ingredients which is then mixed and batched.[citation needed]
As with other ice creams, the sugar in gelato prevents it from freezing solid by binding to the water and interfering with the normal formation of ice crystals. This creates smaller ice crystals and results in the smooth texture of gelato.[44] Commercial gelati are often sweetened with inverted sugar, sucrose, dextrose, or xylitol,[45] and may include a stabilizer such as guar gum.[46]
The first, fior di latte ('milk flower'), is a plain, base ice cream with no flavor and no eggs added. Stracciatella, is fior di latte gelato with chocolate chunks. Traditional flavors of gelato include, cream (also known as custard), vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, almond, and pistachio.[47] Modern flavors include raspberry, strawberry, apple, lemon, pineapple, and black raspberry.[citation needed]

Hulu vs Netflix – Best Streaming Services Showdown
Adam Orr
Do you remember the time before streaming services were everywhere? It seems like forever and to be more precise, how dull the day was when you have nothing to watch on your TV. Thanks to online on-demand streaming services which makes it easier to watch movies and TV shows anytime of the day. It's hard to pick any device with a screen that does not support these streaming services, especially the industry giants Netflix and Hulu. Today, we will witness an epic battle between Hulu and Netflix. Just take it this way; Hulu vs Netflix – if you can only afford subscription of one streaming service, which one is worth your cash? So, let's begin:
Introduction of Participants – Hulu vs Netflix
Hulu vs Netflix: Which Service Is Best For You
Hulu vs Netflix – Pros And Cons
So, which is better: Hulu or Netflix?
Introduction of Hulu
Titles Available: 10,2500+ titles
Monthly subscription: Start from $7.99/ month
Concurrent Streams Supported: 1 to unlimited
Live TV: Yes
Ads: Yes
Original Programming: Yes
Hulu was launched in 2008. It was first introduced as syndication engine for the owners like NBC Universal, but it quickly turns into an on-demand streaming service to find programs from most major TV networks, except for CBS and the CW, shortly after they aired.
Hulu reported to have a clientele of 12 million subscribers by the end of 2016. According to a recently published report by comScore, Hulu is now the second most watched streaming service in the US with 47 million total unique viewers.
Previously, Hulu had a limited free tier of services, but that changed last year. Hulu brought a lot of changes in its services, and mostly it's for better. However, Hulu still supports ads.

Introduction of Netflix
Titles Available: 100,000+ titles
Concurrent Streams Supported: 1-4
Live TV: No
Ads: No
Netflix is like the grand-daddy of streaming services. It started 20 years ago as a DVD-by-mail service with no late fees. Netflix pretty much puts movie rental places out of business. Back in 2007, Netflix experimentally entered into first-ever online on-demand streaming content, which quickly becomes its core business and significant source of internet traffic.
As reported by Netflix's PR officials, it has 104 million members worldwide. Around 51 million of the total subscribers are in the USA.
Netflix has not stopped its DVD services. If you want new releases, you can order them on DVD via mail. But Netflix has long said that streaming is its primary focus. With Netflix, you can now download content for offline viewing.
Netflix is available on numerous devices, from your PC and tablet to the Chromecast and game consoles.

Now, let's talk about the comparison of both services based on their silent features.
Hulu free subscription is for 30 days. On the main website, you can see a clear Call-to-Action of "Start Your Free Trial." Upon clicking on the button, it will take you to the pricing plan and ask for your details. You will have to provide your Credit Card details to subscribe to Hulu free trial. You will not be charged for the first month. Free trial comes with certain limitations.
Netflix free subscription is precisely same as Hulu. To subscribe to Netflix free trial, you will need to provide your financial details. There are no limitations on Netflix free trial. You can watch all the movies and TV shows as if you are using a paid subscription.
Winner: Netflix is clearly the winner for Free Trial Subscription feature.
Hulu plus account starts from $7.99 per month which comes with ads. To get an ad-free service, you will need to pay $11.99 per month, but there are still some 15-second pre-roll and 30-second post-roll ads through some popular shows.
Hulu also offers add-ons to customize your services. You can also add HBO or Showtime to your Hulu account for $14.99 and $9.99 per month, respectively, but that won't save you any money; it's just convenient not to have to switch apps.
Hulu recently released a live TV option, named simply Hulu With Live TV that starts at $39.99 per month and is currently in beta phase. Hulu is supported on some gadgets, but you can only stream to one device at a time. You can get Hulu services on two screens simultaneously or upgrade to unlimited streams for another $14.99.
Netflix account start from $7.99 per month. In $7.99 per month, you can use Netflix on only one device. To add more devices you need to pay extra amount. To use Netflix on two devices monthly subscription will cost you $10.99. If you pay $13.99, you can get up to four concurrent streams and support for 4K content.
Netflix does not support advertisement. You can add Blu-Ray DVD catalog for additional $2. Netflix does not offer special add-ons.
Winner: Again, Netflix is the clear winner for pricing plan. Netflix doesn't blackmail its users with ads to pay more for annoying-free services.
Hulu plus library is primarily populated with TV shows rather than movies. Thanks to its media channel supporters, Hulu gets latest episodes of different TV shows immediately, often within a day of the original airing. It featured TV shows from networks including NBC, ABC, Fox, ION Television, USA Network, Brave, Syfy, E!, A&E, and Oxygen. Hulu never declared the number of titles available in its library, but it is estimated that it has more than 43,000 TV episodes from 1,650 shows and over 2,500 films.
Netflix was once famous for its vast library of movies, but these days it's known for original programs that are the craze of today's youth. You can find a solid selection of all times films and TV shows which get exchanged with new titles every month. And, there's Netflix original programming to take into ccount, too. Netflix is the only place where you can watch Orange is the New Black, Luke Cage and ouse of Cards. Netflix has over 100,000 titles in its library, but it is all estimated and never officially declared by the service itself due to adding and removing titles on a monthly basis. Plus, Netflix libraries differ from one and another.
Winner: With a 3 times larger library, Netflix is clearly the winner.
No one wants to get lost in a poorly designed website to search for movies and TV shows. Hulu's Interface is straightforward, as it lists the different categories of films and TV series as you scroll through the home page. Hulu takes the matter to one step further. On Hulu library, at 'My List' users can also see when the new episode of their favorite show will be available which Netflix fails to do.
Netflix interface is relatively simple and easy-to-navigate. You can create a list of your favorite shows and movies by clicking on the 'Add' button. The browser option is distributed into specific categories from where you can choose movies and TV shows. Netflix suggests movies and TV shows based on an algorithm that finds a suitable title for you keeping your viewing history in account.
Winner: Hulu is a winner for this category based on additional features it added in its interface.
Here's the comparison of device compatibility for Hulu and Netflix.
Hulu:
Hulu on Windows – YES
Hulu on Android – YES
Hulu on iPhone – YES
Hulu on iPad – NO
Hulu on PS3 & PS4 – YES
Hulu on Xbox – YES
Hulu on Roku – YES
Hulu on Apple TV – NO
Hulu on Kodi – YES
Netflix on Windows – YES
Netflix on Android – YES
Netflix on iPhone – YES
Netflix on iPad – YES
Netflix on PS3 & PS4 – YES
Netflix on Xbox – YES
Netflix on Roku – YES
Netflix on Apple TV – YES
Netflix on Kodi – YES
Winner: Netflix supports more devices then Hulu. That's why we have our winner with us and its Netflix.
Hulu is available in very limited regions including USA and Canada. You can get its knocked-off service in Japan as well.
Netflix is available in around 94 regions with a different selection of movies and TV shows, which include regional programs and originals. Netflix is available in countries including, USA, Canada, Brazil, UK, Italy, Pakistan, Australia, India, France, etc.
Winner: More region means, more libraries and more libraries mean more titles. That is why we declared Netflix as a winner.
Hulu offers three add-ons for channels including, HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime. You can add Showtime on your Hulu interface by paying extra $8.99 per month; for Cinemax, you will need to pay $9.99 per month, and for HBO you will need to pay $14.99 per month.
Netflix does not offer any particular add-ons in its service. It's one-price fir for all the content on Netflix.
Winner: Hulu is clearly a winner here for offering something that Netflix has failed to offer.
Original And Exclusive Content
Hulu has a lot of exclusive content to offer including originals like Seinfeld, South Park; You're the Worst, Mindy Project, Chance, The Path, Difficult People, Casual, The Handmaid's Tale and Fargo.
Netflix's originals are on another level. As per official statement of Netflix, they have invested over $16 billion in original content from movies like Beast of no Nation to TV program like Orange is the new Black. The list of Netflix original programming is too large including, GLOW, Love, The Keepers, 13 Reasons Why, The Crown, House of Cards, One Day at a Time, Orange is the New Black, The Defenders, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Stranger Things, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Master of None, Dear White People, and BoJack Horseman.
Winner: Netflix wins this category with 4 times more original programs compare to Hulu.
Audio and Video Quality
To stream HD or 4K Ultra HD resolution at Hulu, user will need compatible display which can play these formats along with a steady internet connection. The quality of Hulu's streaming ultimately depends on your device, and users can stream 4K Ultra HD on a Playstation 4 Pro or XBox One S.
Here is a breakdown of Hulu streaming quality.
Standard Definition: 1.5 Mbps
720p HD: 3 Mbps
1080p HD: 6 Mbps
4K Ultra HD: 13 Mbps
In addition to 1080p, Netflix also offer 4K Ultra HD resolution and HDR streaming support. Netflix charges extra for 4K Ultra HD resolution and it subscription cost $12 a month. As for audio quality, Netflix offers Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound encoding on the majority of content in addition to 7.1 encoding on select content.
Here's a breakdown of Netflix's streaming quality:
Low: Basic video quality uses up to 0.3 GB of data per hour
Medium: Standard video quality uses up to 0.7 GB of data per hour
High: Best video quality uses up to 3 GB of data per hour for HD and 7 GB of data per hour for Ultra HD
Automatic: Quality determined by your connection
Unlimited: The highest quality possible for your device and the show or movie you're watching, peaks at the same rate as High.
Winner: Do I have announced the winner for this category? Isn't it obvious? Netflix wins again.
Hulu Pros:
Larger catalog of currently-airing TV shows
Full seasons of older and current popular TV shows
Episodes of some current TV shows are available the day after they air
Hulu Cons:
Less breadth and depth of programming than Netflix
Some programming is not yet closed captioned
No audio descriptions on any shows
Website is not screen reader-compatible
Cannot stream content when traveling outside the U.S.
Netflix Pros:
Many TV programs and movies are available for downloading and viewing offline
Tons of original programming
All English-language programming is closed captioned
Audio descriptions available for many shows
Website is compatible with most OS X and Windows built-in screen readers
Netflix Cons:
No Live TV
Available seasons of currently-airing TV shows are usually at least a year old, so prepare to avoid spoilers for a very long time.
In the end, it's your call. First, you need to see what you are using these services for. If you have to choose only one service and you want a substantial library of movies and TV shows, then Netflix is a better choice. But if you are more into the Live TV and want to add channels like Showtime and HBO in one interface then Hulu is the best option to fulfill your needs.

2020 stole our Christmas
The year 2020 was a troubling year to say the least, this year kicked off with everyone celebrating entering a new decade, but this year quickly stole our joys with several losses.
Incredible people like Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, Diego Maradona and many more died this year, Trump killed an Iranian General, George Floyd was killed by the police and sparked major protests and riots all over the world against racism.
Here in Nigeria, we had our own protest against police brutality in October the #EndSARS protests that rocked this nation and showed the government the power of the people. There were the Australian fires, locusts and all manner of things that happened all over the world.
Then of course, the defining event of 2020 was the COVID 19 pandemic, the first pandemic the world had ever seen in 100 years. Almost no one alive today had ever witnessed a pandemic, and we all did this year, a deadly virus that has killed over 1.7 million people all over the world.
The pandemic shut down world economies, sent the world into recession, sporting events got postponed or cancelled, fans weren't allowed into stadiums when sports resumed.
The lockdowns had to be the hardest part of it all, many people went jobless, companies went under, startups failed, the rich got richer while the poor got poorer, middle class people joined lower class people, and this happened all over the world despite the best intentions of governments.
And now we're having a second wave of the virus at what is supposed to be the most festive part of the year. Nobody is happy, people's mental health declined at alarming rates this year, and it seems like everyone is simply just tired.
People can't even go out to celebrate as much as they would want to because of the very fact that they could die if they did. And even those of us who love indoor Christmas don't even feel the festivity of the season, so much so that the 25th of December, the one day you're required to be happy has been stolen by a year that came to take away our happiness.
The only thing we can do is try to ignore the emptiness inside and try to be festive despite not necessarily being in the mood thanks to the nature of this year. And I guess that's all we can do, just like Diane in Bojack Horseman said "life's a bitch and you keep living"

Tacking Point Tavern Final Images Received
The Tacking Point Tavern project comprised of the complete refurbishment and extension of the existing and operational tavern. Works were undertaken on 2 levels, The lower level; bottle shop, cool/keg rooms, storage and plant. The Upper level; Main tavern, Sports Bar, Gaming room, Beer Garden, Dining and function centre, children's play area with Rhino pay equipment and new kitchen facilities. The overall project was handed over in early December which allowed our client to take advantage of the Christmas season trade.
Staging for the project was key to ensure that the tavern was able to continue to trade while construction works were being undertaken. Working in with our client further milestones were introduced to bring revenue centres online sooner, this posed some tight constraints on work zones, and bundled in with some new design changes and multiple latent conditions our team delivered the new project on schedule despite new structural designs required. Safety was a high focus on the project due to upper floor works being undertaken above the lower level bottle shop drive through. Hoardings & temporary walkways were constructed to maintain safe access for patrons.
Features of the tavern include the white external aluminium screens to the gaming room which assist with deflecting heat and retaining internal room temperatures for patrons while giving the building a unique look. Also of interest is the children's play equipment which protrudes thorough the building over the top level car park giving children a helicopter view.
Throughout the project Lipman and its subcontractors were able to provide innovative alternative solutions to latent conditions that would have required a change to the original intent had these solutions not been implemented. While working in with our engineer we were able to remove structural steel beams which would have impacted kitchen mechanical hoods and lowered the ceiling height, as an alternative extensive bracing & additional members were introduced into the trusses to enable the existing roof to span over the entire kitchen.
This project is a success due to the dedication of the design and construction teams to ensure that the architectural intent was executed to allow the facility to be enjoyed by the growing Port Macquarie community.

Alice awakens from a terrible sleep to find her worst fears realized–the bloodthirsty Undead, which she and the now-annihilated squad of elite military fought to destroy, have been unleashed on the city that surrounds the secret facility of the Umbrella Corporation. Discovering she was an Umbrella experiment, Alice has been bio-genetically enhanced with new strengths, senses and dexterity–and she will need them. In the heart of the ravaged Raccoon City, a small group of uninfected people, including Jill Valentine, a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corp's elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services team, and S.T.A.R.S team leader Carlos Oliveira, fight for their lives against swarms of Undead and the deadlier and faster Lickers. Running out of luck and resources, the group is rescued by Alice, and they begin to wage an exhilarating battle to survive and escape before the Umbrella Corporation erases its experiment from the face of the earth.

PKR 3,150 – PKR 10,150


Arguably this is in fact the most important if you ask me. It intermixes quite fluidly with delusions. And 'loss of touch with reality' can in cases that maintain a level of safety, communication & object handling skills (on a triple axis, I guess? Essentially nearly all cases) … With less intensive episodes, can be one hell of a squishy ruler to put in even professionals' hands. Have not rescanned the parameters for delusion, but there are vast numbers of people who hold beliefs others don't see as remotely connected to truth. Atheists vs Theists may be the largest blocks to consider. Others attach their supernatural ideas to more or less common constructs & word 'handles', conspiracy theories and aliens being common, but you can assemble a non-consensus belief from any linked constructs (word 'nets' + other components in memory and experience).
Also important to note, psychosis is normally thought of as a temporary condition, not a chronic thing (plenty of well adapted people with schizophrenia or other heavy diagnosis labels around every day) .. A person with severe and less or more organized delusions can get by if they play their cards carefully, indefinitely. Unless of course they wind up acting strange enough to get 911 rang, or the delusions begin to play out destructively to others (housemates most often I'd guess).

Home Resource LibraryHow do I appeal my denied VA claim?
How do I appeal my denied VA claim?
When veterans receive an unfavorable decision from VA, they have the option to appeal and seek a more favorable outcome. The process of appealing a denied VA claim is different when it comes to the old "Legacy" appeals system and the new "Appeals Reform" system set in place by the Appeals Modernization Act. The appeals process under each of these systems is outlined below.
Appealing Under the Legacy Appeals System
The Legacy appeals system only involves one "lane" in the veterans' claims process. In other words, all veterans appealing unfavorable decisions will go through the following steps:
Veteran files a claim
Local Regional Office will issue a Rating Decision that grants, denies, or partially grants the claim
Veteran has one year to file a Notice of Disagreement (NOD)
Veteran then waits for a Statement of the Case (SOC), explaining why the claim was denied or only partially granted. Importantly, if the claim is granted following the Notice of Disagreement, the veteran will likely receive a Decision Review Officer Decision.
Veteran has 60 days from when VA issues the SOC to file a VA Form 9 Substantive Appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals
The Board will then issue a decision granting, denying, or remanding the case for further action
If a veteran is appealing a denial from the Board, he or she has 120 days to appeal to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC)
If the veteran's claim is denied by the CAVC, he or she has 60 days to appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit)
The new system under the Appeals Modernization Act offers more choice for veterans when it comes to handling disagreements with VA's decisions.
Appealing Under Appeals Reform
Under Appeals Modernization, there will still be a Rating Decision after every initial claim is filed. However, if a veteran disagrees with VA's decision, he or she is no longer bound to the single-queue, linear process described above. Instead, veterans have multiple appeal options from which they can select the one best suited for the unique needs of their case. If after an appeal, a veteran receives another unfavorable decision, he or she has different appeal options depending on from which lane the decision came:
Higher-Level Review Rating Decision. If a veteran receives an unfavorable Rating Decision in the higher-level review lane, he or she has one year to file either a supplemental claim or a Notice of Disagreement to the Board of Veterans' Appeals. A veteran cannot request higher-level review of a decision that came from within the higher-level review lane.
Supplemental Claim Rating Decision. If a veteran receives an unfavorable Rating Decision in the supplemental claim lane, he or she has one year to file an appeal in any one of the three lanes available. Importantly, there is no limit on the number of supplemental claims a veteran files, but he or she must submit new and relevant evidence in order to do so.
Board Decision. If a veteran receives an unfavorable Board decision, he or she can either file a supplemental claim within one year or appeal to the CAVC within 120 days. Here, the option for higher-level review is unavailable because the Board is the highest level of review within VA. If a veteran disagrees with a CAVC decision, he or she can submit a supplemental claim within one year or appeal to the Federal Circuit within 60 days.
