Programming abstraction hides the implementation logic from other class because there is no need for other class to know about the logic.
Abstraction is one of the three principles in the object oriented programming along with the inheritance and encapsulation and also abstraction is related to both of these principles.
The resulting object of the abstraction process is also referred as abstraction and gives a named entity which is formed by the selected attributes and behavior specification.
Programming abstraction can be used in almost all language i.e., C, C++, java, python etc. and it performs well in these languages or do their function in the proper manner.
It is being used for distributed, dynamic and data-intensive computing to make programs or applications better in terms of usage and processing.
In the abstraction process, it is the responsibility of programmer to name the entity in such a manner that it will make sense and should include all relevant aspects, nothing extra should be displayed.
Programming Abstractions are very reliable and efficient for wireless sensors and it helps in providing important operations and properties of an entity. It is also used for data locality and it is in use for future SDN switches.
PC programming (regularly abbreviated to programming, now and again called coding) is a procedure that leads from a unique plan of a processing issue to executable PC programs.
Fundamentally, composing programming (PC programs) includes describing the whole processes, techniques; it includes the creating of calculations. PC programming includes creating arrangements of directions - the source code representation of programming.
Programming includes with the activities as well as analysis, creating understanding, producing calculations, confirmation of prerequisites of calculations including their accuracy and assets utilization, and execution of calculations in an objective programming language. Source code is composed in one or all the more programming languages. The motivation behind writing computer programs is to discover a grouping of guidelines that will definitely automate performing a particular undertaking or taking care of a given issue. The procedure of programming accordingly frequently requires skill in a wide range of subjects, including learning of the application space, specific calculations and formal logic.

La Supercupa Moldovei è una competizione annuale moldava in cui si affrontano in un'unica gara i vincitori della Divizia Națională, la massima serie del campionato di calcio moldavo, e i detentori della Cupa Moldovei.

Albo d'oro
Quando una squadra vinceva sia il campionato che la coppa, la supercoppa non veniva assegnata, come fatto dallo Sheriff Tiraspol nel 2006, 2008, 2009 e 2010. Nel 2010 è stato deciso che nell'eventualità di una squadra campione in entrambe le competizioni la supercoppa sarebbe stata disputata tra le prime due squadre del campionato.

Q: Any advantage to not having a companion? Is there any advantage, when playing solo, to not having a companion fight by your side?

A: There are advantages and disadvantages. I'll outline them both below.
Advantages to going solo

*

*You can control what you aggro and when. If a follower gets too close, they can make that decision for you, often to both of your detriment.

*It will probably make you a better player, as you will learn not to rely on some of the crutches they can provide (some passive buffs, heals, etc.)

*Peace and Quiet. Spend enough time with a particular follower and you get tired of the same banter over and over.

Disadvantages to going it alone

*

*Not having them around will cause you not to benefit from the item
bonuses they get (such as if you equip them with magic-find gear
and the like) this will slow down your character development potentially.

*You will lose the benefit of some of their helpful buffs and support spells, like the Templar's "Inspiration" buff or healing spells. However, as noted above, this may help increase you personal skills.

*Some people like that sense of "not being in this alone." There are plenty of legitimate medical studies out there that prove sharing a mental burden has huge benefits. In this case, it probably can extend even to just having a digital follower.

*You do lose SOME dps, but as difficulty levels go up that becomes more and more marginal.

Interestingly enough, The original plan from Blizzard was to have followers lose all utility after normal mode was completed, however they have changed their stance recently and want them to remain viable throughout the game. They certainly provide a wide array of helpful skills, so I like to take them with me.

A: A companion will automatically attack hostile mobs, so it can be useful to not have one to control when you aggro an enemy(particularly Treasure Goblins).

A: You level faster if you go solo, as there is no one to steal your kills.

Q: How to store PT Update Event for a sheet that gets deleted/recreated on opening? Yesterday I wrote a VBA code within the Microsoft Object folder and within a sheet to reformat a pivot chart after filtering using Worksheets_PivotTableUpdate event and a private sub. It was working great!
I closed and reopened the file yesterday and it was gone, and the filtering didn't trigger the code despite it working when the VBA was open. I went to look in the sheet and there's no code there. I thought I had forgot to save or saved incorrectly so I wrote it again and this morning when I opened the file again... formatting after filtering code doesn't work, no code to be found. So... where is it? Why isn't it saving?
Multiple people will be using this file so I can't just redo it every time I need to, and plus it doesn't make sense for it to just disappear every time the file is closed/reopened. I know a lot of code for working in VBA and especially with PivotTables/Charts, but I'd still consider myself a beginner.
I am going to rewrite the code so I will post when I finish. This is the code that formats the pivot chart originally. The sheet code readds the data labels, adds some borders, and changes the size of the donut hole.
EDIT: I figured out the issue and it is a silly one. When the workbook macro runs, it deletes the sheet where the other code is stored. Here's my new question... how else can I store this so this doesn't happen?
Dim pc_utl As Chart
    Dim chart_rng_2 As Range
        Set chart_rng_2 = wsu.Range("B10:F35") 'Where to place Donut Chart on sheet
With chart_rng_2
    Set pc_utl = wsu.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=.Left, Top:=.Top, Width:=.Width, Height:=.Height).Chart 'Creates donut chart if it doesn't exist already
End With

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

With pc_utl
    .ChartType = xlDoughnut 'Sets chart type to donut
    .ApplyDataLabels Type:=xlDataLabelsShowPercent 'Labels donut slices with % data from PTable
    .HasTitle = True
    .ChartTitle.Text = title_formula_2 'Dynamic chart title
    .Legend.Position = xlLegendPositionBottom
    .PlotBy = xlColumns
    .DoughnutGroups(1).DoughnutHoleSize = 25
End With
Else 'Refresh PivotTable and PivotChart if they exist already
    pt_utl.ChangePivotCache pivot_cache_2
    pt_utl.RefreshTable
End If

Here's the code stored in the sheet:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
If Target = "%Utilization" Then
    With Worksheets("Utilization")
        With .ChartObjects("Chart 1").Chart
            .ApplyDataLabels Type:=xlDataLabelsShowPercent
        End With
    End With
End If

End Sub


Add Sunflower Butter, mix well. Add oats, flour, Chocolate chips, and nuts, Mix very well to make sure there are no dry spots with flour and oats.

I did not toast my Almonds, but I think it would be better if they were, so if you do not want to toast the almonds leave them raw.

BACKGROUND: Household food insecurity, a measure of income-related problems of food access, is a pressing public health problem in Canada's North, especially in Nunavut. We aimed to assess the impact of Nutrition North Canada, a food retail subsidy intended to improve food access and affordability in isolated communities, on household food insecurity in Nunavut.
METHODS: Using data from 3250 Nunavut households sampled in the annual components of the Canadian Community Health Survey (2007 to 2016), we conducted interrupted time series regression analyses to determine whether the introduction of Nutrition North Canada was associated with changes in the rates of self-reported food insecurity, according to a validated instrument. We used propensity score weighting to control for several sociodemographic characteristics associated with food insecurity.
RESULTS: Food insecurity affected 33.1% of households in 2010 (the year before the launch of Nutrition North Canada), 39.4% of households in 2011 (the year of the launch) and 46.6% of households in 2014 (the year after full implementation). After controlling for several covariates, we found the rate of food insecurity increased by 13.2 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.7 to 24.7) after the full implementation of the subsidy program, and the increase in food insecurity first occurred in 2011 (9.6 percentage points, 95% CI 2.7 to 16.4), the year Nutrition North Canada was launched.
INTERPRETATION: Food insecurity was a pervasive problem in Nunavut before Nutrition North Canada, but it has become even more prevalent since the program was implemented. Given the important health consequences of food insecurity, more effective initiatives to address food insecurity in Canada's North are urgently needed.

Household food insecurity, defined as insecure or inadequate access to food because of financial constraints, is increasingly recognized as a serious public health problem in many affluent nations.1–4 The latest national estimate for Canada indicates that 12.6% of households experienced food insecurity in 2012,5 but important geographic variations exist within the country, with heightened vulnerability in the North.5–7 Since national monitoring began, Nunavut has consistently had the highest rates of food insecurity,5,6,8 with the rate reaching 46.8% in 2014.8 Food insecurity is strongly associated with poor nutrition9–13 and adverse mental and physical health outcomes across the life cycle.14–22 Recent research also indicates that food insecurity is a robust and independent predictor of increased health care use23 and expenditures.24,25
Food insecurity represents an experience of material deprivation strongly influenced by the economic resources of households, 26–30 but high food prices are also considered an important driver of food insecurity in Canada's North.7,31–34 In April 2011, the Government of Canada replaced the long-standing Food Mail Program with Nutrition North Canada, a market-driven food retail subsidy intended to make perishable, nutritious foods more affordable and accessible in northern communities that do not have year-round rail, road or marine access.34–36
Similar to the Food Mail Program, Nutrition North Canada serves communities that are predominantly inhabited by Indigenous Peoples and have high rates of food insecurity, low educational attainment, low income, underemployment and unemployment. 34,37,38 Whereas the Food Mail Program consisted of an air freight transportation subsidy transferred to Canada Post for the delivery of numerous perishable foods, nonperishable foods and essential nonfood items,35,37,39 Nutrition North Canada is a retail subsidy focused primarily on perishable, nutritious foods and transferred directly to southern suppliers and northern retailers, who are expected to pass on the full subsidy to consumers at the point of purchase35,40 (a summary of the programs is provided in Appendix 1, Supplemental Table A1, available at www.cmaj.ca/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1503/cmaj.181617/-/DC1).
Nutrition North Canada follows a market-driven approach predicated on the assumption that giving full control to retailers and suppliers over the supply chain and relying on market competition can reduce the prices of subsidized foods more effectively. 35,40 The program's focus on perishable, nutritious foods and its market-driven approach were strategies adopted to help contain program costs.34,35 Nutrition North Canada also includes a small nutrition-education component,35,40 and it is assumed that reductions in the prices of perishable, nutritious foods coupled with nutrition education will improve northerners' food access.40 Although Nutrition North Canada does not explicitly aim to reduce food insecurity, the pervasiveness of food insecurity in the North is embedded in the rationale for the program.34,38
Our objective was to assess the impact of the introduction of Nutrition North Canada on household food insecurity in Nunavut communities.
Data source and sample
Data were obtained from the annual components of the Canadian Community Health Survey from 2007 to 2016, a repeated, cross-sectional, population-based survey administered by Statistics Canada to collect health-related information.41 The survey covers individuals aged 12 years and older in all provinces and territories, except for full-time members of the Canadian Forces, those living in institutions, those living in 2 northern health regions in Quebec, and people living on reserves or other Indigenous settlements in the provinces.41
This study used data from households living in the 10 largest communities of Nunavut (Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Cape Dorset, Pangnirtung, Igloolik, Pond Inlet, Baker Lake and Arviat), the only communities eligible for Nutrition North Canada included in the Canadian Community Health Survey from 2007 to 2016. These communities are predominantly inhabited by Inuit people, and they account for about 30% of the total population of the 84 communities eligible for the full subsidy, receiving nearly one-third of the annual subsidy budget and annual volume of food subsidized from 2011 to 2016.36
Measure of household food insecurity
Food insecurity over the past 12 months was assessed using the 18-item Household Food Security Survey Module, a validated scale used for monitoring in Canada and the United States.6,42–44 The scale measures food access problems that range in severity from worrying about running out of food to compromising on the quality of food purchased, to eating less or going a whole day without eating because there was not enough money to buy food.1,5 Because a single affirmative response to the module represents an experience of marginal food insecurity associated with adverse health outcomes,20,21,23,24 households with 1 or more affirmative responses were considered food insecure, and households with no affirmative response were considered food secure. Households that answered none of the items were coded as missing and excluded from the analysis (n = 62). To minimize the loss of sample size, the 3% of households with some missing items were classified as food secure or food insecure based on their responses to nonmissing items,45 with 85% classified as food insecure.
We used interrupted time series analysis, a quasi-experimental study design,46,47 to assess whether the introduction of Nutrition North Canada affected rates of food insecurity. Given that interrupted time series analysis is sensitive to time-varying confounders,46,47 propensity score weighting48 was used to control for macroeconomic trends and ensure that the annual samples were comparable on sociodemographic and economic variables known to be associated with food insecurity but unrelated to the introduction of Nutrition North Canada, such as household structure, income and education. We also included a variable identifying survey respondents younger than 18 years to account for the 2015 change in the sampling frame for Nunavut.41 The 2007 survey year was set as the reference, meaning that the sample for each subsequent year was weighted to have the covariate profile of the 2007 sample. Logistic regression models were used to estimate a propensity score for each household; the weight was set to 1 for households interviewed in 2007 or calculated as the propensity score divided by 1 minus the propensity score for all other households.48 The application of the weights resulted in covariate balance across all survey years. We used the weights to estimate annual propensity score–weighted rates of food insecurity, the dependent variable in the models.
In Appendix 1, Supplemental Figure A1 presents a timeline of the implementation of Nutrition North Canada, with the survey years and periods included in the 2 impact models that were tested. The first impact model tested whether there was a change in the trend and level of food insecurity after the full implementation of the program. The model included 2 segments, the periods before the launch of Nutrition North Canada (2007–2010) and after its full implementation (2014–2016). The years of implementation (2011 and 2012) with a lag period (2013) were excluded from this model. A 1-year lag was included because food insecurity is measured for the past 12 months, and a reduction in food insecurity would be detected 12 months after implementation. The second impact model tested whether the launch of Nutrition North Canada in 2011 was associated with changes in food insecurity and included 3 segments representing the periods before the launch, during implementation with the 1-year lag and after full implementation. Owing to multicollinearity, the second impact model tested for a change in trend after the launch but not after full implementation; the latter change was tested in the first impact model. We conducted linear regression models with robust standard errors to estimate the impact models. The trends within each segment were assumed to be linear. 46,47 The time unit of analysis was survey year, with 7 time points in the first impact model and 10 in the second impact model. Based on the Durbin–Watson statistic, there was no first- or second-order autocorrelation.49
To respect Statistics Canada's confidentiality requirements, sample sizes and cell counts for the covariates were rounded to the nearest 10 for presentation. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. All analyses were performed with Stata statistical software, version 15.
To determine whether negative macroeconomic shocks occurred in Nunavut when Nutrition North Canada was introduced, we visually inspected time trends for several macroeconomic factors associated with food insecurity30,50–52 (Consumer Price Index, social assistance caseload, gross domestic product, and rates of low income and unemployment) (Appendix 1, Supplemental Figure A2).
This study is part of a research project that received ethics approval from the Human Research Ethics Board of the University of Toronto.
The analytic sample included 3250 Nunavut households with a measurement of food insecurity, and the annual sample sizes ranged between 260 and 380.
The annual rates of food insecurity ranged between 33.1% and 40.0% before the launch of Nutrition North Canada, between 39.4% and 45.7% during the implementation and 1-year lag, and between 46.0% and 55.6% after the full implementation ( Figure 1A). Overall, food insecurity affected 33.1% of households in 2010 (the year before the launch of Nutrition North Canada), 39.4% of households in 2011 (the year of the launch) and 46.6% of households in 2014 (the year after full implementation).
(A) Unweighted and propensity score–weighted prevalence estimates of food insecurity from 2007 to 2016, and changes in the trend and level of food insecurity (B) after the full implementation (impact model 1) and (C) after the launch of Nutrition North Canada (impact model 2).
Based on the visual inspection of trends over time, we identified no sudden macroeconomic change that coincided with the introduction of the program (Appendix 1, Supplemental Figure A2). Table 1 presents the distribution of the covariates for the 3 periods used in the impact models. Covariate imbalances were present in the unweighted sample, but these were addressed with the application of the weights (Appendix 1, Supplemental Table A2). The weighted rates of food insecurity used in the models were generally lower than the original rates and had less year-to-year variation (Figure 1A).
Distribution of covariates in the original, unweighted sample of households in Nunavut before the launch of Nutrition North Canada, during implementation with a 1-year lag and after full implementation
The first impact model showed that the trends in the annual rates of food insecurity were constant during the period before the launch of Nutrition North Canada (−1.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] −5.7% to 2.2%) and the period after its full implementation (0.0%, 95% CI −6.1% to 6.1%), with no significant trend change between the 2 periods (1.7%, 95% CI −5.5% to 9.0%) (Table 2 and Figure 1B). However, the rate of food insecurity immediately after implementation was 13.2 percentage points (95% CI 1.7 to 24.7) higher than the rate just before the launch. This means that the rate of food insecurity after implementation was 43% higher than the rate expected if the trend before the launch had continued. The second impact model indicated that the rate of food insecurity increased by 9.6 percentage points (95% CI 2.7 to 16.4) in 2011, the year Nutrition North Canada was launched (Table 2 and Figure 1C). This means that the rate of food insecurity was 31% higher than the rate expected if the trend before the launch had continued. There was no significant trend change between the periods before the launch and during implementation. The trend in food insecurity rates during the years of implementation was constant.
Results from the interrupted time series analyses assessing changes in food insecurity after the full implementation (impact model 1) and the launch (impact model 2) of Nutrition North Canada
We found that the prevalence of food insecurity rose after the implementation of Nutrition North Canada and that the rise in food insecurity first occurred in 2011, the year that the program was launched. One potential explanation for the worsening food insecurity may be the program's focus on perishable, nutritious foods and the exclusion of most nonperishable foods and all nonfood items from the subsidy.34,35,39 These exclusions may have prevented households from improving their access to food and, in some cases, worsened their access to food, insofar as the prices of common nonperishable foods and essential items rose.
There are some reports that the launch of Nutrition North Canada coincided with a rise in the prices of some nonperishable foods and household items in participating communities in northern Quebec,34,35 but the lack of systematic price monitoring for items that lost eligibility for subsidy precludes examinations of price changes in the communities included in this study.53 Nevertheless, our study adds to previous critiques of Nutrition North Canada53–57 by showing that food insecurity in Nunavut communities worsened after the introduction of the program.
The federal government reports that Nutrition North Canada has been successful in improving food access and affordability, because there was an increase in the volume of perishable, nutritious foods shipped and a decrease in the cost of a standardized food basket soon after Nutrition North Canada was launched compared with the final statistics under the Food Mail Program. 34,36 However, our findings challenge the assertion that the program has improved food access.
The observed rise in food insecurity also stands in contrast to reports of an increase in the volume of subsidized food shipped under Nutrition North Canada.34,36 One possible interpretation for the coexistence of these conflicting trends may be that Nutrition North Canada led to greater consumption of subsidized foods among the most affluent households, while compromising food access among economically vulnerable households because of the removal of the subsidy for common nonperishable foods and essential items. Hence, the retail subsidy and nutrition-education component may have primarily stimulated demand among households that could already afford perishable, nutritious foods. More research is needed to investigate food-access inequality within participating communities to better understand the program's impact.
A primary motivation to replace the Food Mail Program with Nutrition North Canada was to contain program costs.34,35,37–39 This was partly achieved by adopting a model that relies on market competition to reduce prices.34,35 However, the relevance of this model is highly questionable given that there are few retailers and little competition in most eligible communities,54,55 and a substantial portion of the targeted population has difficulty accessing the market economy because of poverty. There is growing evidence that policy interventions improving the economic resources of households through cash transfers or in-kind benefits reduce food insecurity in affluent countries.26–28,58,59 Given our results, it is imperative to determine the extent to which similar initiatives adapted to the needs and realities of northern populations could affect food insecurity.
The measure of food insecurity used in this study does not capture all dimensions of food security relevant to Inuit populations (e.g., food-sharing systems and access to traditional food). However, the measure has been associated with poor nutrition and adverse health outcomes among Indigenous populations, including the Inuit.9–11,16 The measure is also pertinent to evaluate a program that subsidizes food accessed through the market economy.
Because of the coverage of the survey, the analyses included only the 10 largest communities in Nunavut, and the results may not apply to other eligible communities. However, the communities included in this study comprise a substantial portion of the population targeted by Nutrition North Canada. The few time points available precluded a validation of the linearity assumption45,46 for the trends in prevalence of food insecurity for the years before, during and after the implementation of Nutrition North Canada and limited the power of the study,46,47,60 which may have contributed to the absence of trends in the prevalence of food insecurity. Although we controlled for several covariates and identified no macroeconomic shocks that coincided with the rise is food insecurity, unobserved time-varying confounding unrelated to the implementation of Nutrition North Canada may still be present. Nevertheless, this study represents an important first step toward understanding the program's impact on food insecurity.
This evaluation of the impact of Nutrition North Canada suggests that food insecurity has worsened in Nunavut communities after the introduction of the program. Our study raises serious concerns about the federal government's continued focus on food-subsidy initiatives to improve food access in the North. Given the important health implications of food insecurity,9–25 more effective initiatives are urgently needed to address northern food insecurity.

Woolworths' $552m stake in PFD panned by independents
Sue MitchellSenior reporter
Aug 19, 2020 – 2.08pm
Woolworths will become one of Australia's largest food service distributors after taking a 65 per cent strategic stake in privately owned PFD Food Services for $552 million.
The acquisition confirms the fears of independently owned food service distributors, who are worried Woolworths will take advantage of its scale to snare a major share of the $18 billion sector, threatening businesses and jobs in regional areas.
Woolworths CEO Brad Banducci announced the $552 million investment in PFD Food Services on Wednesday. Dominic Lorrimer
After establishing a partnership with PFD during the coronavirus crisis, Woolworths has agreed to invest $302 million for a 65 per cent equity interest in the business, which is owned by Financial Review Rich Lister Richard Smith, who was ranked No.91 on the AFR Rich List last year.
The Smith family will retain 35 per cent and will be able to sell its remaining stake to Woolworths after three years under a put and call agreement.
Woolworths will also acquire for $249 million 100 per cent of PFD's freehold properties, which primarily comprise 26 distribution centres.
The purchase price, which excludes debt, represents a multiple of about 11 times PFD's pre-COVID-19 earnings of $57 million.
Woolworths chief executive Brad Banducci expects the deal to be earnings per share accretive in the first full year and is confident the investment will deliver strong returns.
"PFD's current year earnings have been impacted by COVID. However, we're confident the out of home food market remains very attractive and will recover and grow over time," Mr Banducci said.
The investment was a "logical adjacency" and further supported the evolution of Woolworths into a food and everyday needs ecosystem, he said.
"It helps Woolworths leverage their logistics capabilities to improve the experience in Woolworths supermarkets," Mr Banducci said. It would also enable the retailer to better localise store ranges and optimise freight, while enabling PFD to tap into Woolworths platforms – data analytics, digital capabilities, commodity sourcing.
'Disaster' for small businesses
However, the chief executives of three independent food distribution organisations, Countrywide Food Service Distributors, NAFDA Foodservice and The Distributors, said the deal was a "disaster" for small businesses and must be stopped.
"The biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic in Australia are the major supermarkets," said Countrywide CEO Richard Hinson.
"Woolworths' expansion of their B2B business at this time is nothing less than aggressive and opportunistic behaviour at a time when thousands of family-owned food distribution businesses and manufacturers across the country are struggling to keep their heads above water.
"Make no mistake, this move will limit competition, reduce consumer choice and reduce the economic contribution of our sector to the local and the national economy.
"If the government really cares about small business they will impose a moratorium on supermarkets' aggressive behaviour during the pandemic and the ACCC should and must protect small business from this anti-competitive behaviour."
ACCC approval needed
The deal requires approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which was already looking into Woolworths' push into the food service distribution sector.
The ACCC has received letters from food service distributors and food and grocery suppliers worried about the effect of Woolworths' expansion in the sector through its fast-growing digital business.
ACCC chairman Rod Sims told The Australian Financial Review last month the commission would look at whether Woolworths' B2B strategy had an adverse impact on competition, rather than an adverse impact on competitors. Mr Sims had previously expressed concern about major companies taking advantage of the crisis to increase their market power.
Food and grocery suppliers were also concerned about Woolworths' push into food service and were worried the retailer would seek the same trading terms as in supermarkets, which are much lower than those in food service.
Woolworths wants to lift its wholesale sales three-to-four-fold to $1 billion in three years by using its online platform and massive distribution network to supply small, medium and large customers such as childcare centres, schools and disability and care services with food and groceries.
The acquisition of a controlling stake in PFD, which has annual revenues of about $2.1 billion and speaks for about 11 per cent of the $18 billion sector, will make Woolworths the second largest player after BidFoods.
Mr Banducci said there was an overlap between Woolworths and PFD's suppliers and he was aware of their concerns over trading terms.
"These are very different businesses with very different trading terms and we need to respect that and have very clear firewalls between retail and non-retail – that's something we're committed to doing irrespective of this," he said.
"We hope that should give the ACCC the detail they need to support this transaction."
PFD managing director Kerry Smith said there was "overwhelming support" from customers and suppliers for the deal – "many of the suppliers can see the benefits."
PFD has 39,000 food service customers, mainly fast-food chains, pubs, restaurants, cafes and convenience stores, as well as 68 distribution centres, 2800 staff and 750 trucks.
PFD will continue to operate as a standalone business, and retain its senior leadership team led by Ms Smith.
Woolies at Work, the B2B business, will continue to focus on childcare centres, aged-care centres, and disability services.
The joint venture model is not unlike Woolworths' ALH pubs and clubs joint venture with the Mathieson family.
PFD was hard hit by the national lockdown laws and in April it signed a partnership with Woolworths, enabling the retailer's business-to-business customers, which include childcare centres and nursing homes, to order from PFD's product range through Woolworths' website.
The deal helped Woolworths overcome stock shortages triggered by panic buying and enabled PFD to find homes for millions of dollars of stock.

Taylor Purcell
Quantic School of Business and Technology
"I am a self-starting, socially driven, passport-stamp collecting, efficiency-loving, devoted dog owner."
City, State, Country: Dallas, TX, USA
Fun Fact About Yourself: Since I move around a lot, I really like to find unique ways to get to know the city. Now, I actually host food tours around Dallas in my spare time.
Undergraduate School and Major: University of Central Florida; B.S Advertising and Public Relations

Why did you choose an online format like Quantic? It is important to me to be flexible with where I work. Quantic provides that flexibility in a really user-friendly format.
Aside from your classmates, what was the key part of Quantic's MBA programming that led you to choose this business school, and why was it so important to you? Quantic shares my ethics about the accessibility of continuous education. They've designed this extensive, high quality program in such a way that they're able to offer it at a price that the degree will more than make up for the cost in the job market. It also included an exclusive way to break into that market.
Quantic is highly competitive and only about 10% of students who apply to the MBA program are admitted. What advice would you give to someone who intends to apply to Quantic to increase their odds of being accepted? Don't be afraid to highlight why you're interesting, and what you're interested in. Be unapologetically passionate about the things you believe in, which I believe is a trait that organically uncovers your work ethic.
What achievement are you most proud of in your professional career? I'm proud of my advancement at my current company, coming from established Fortune 500 companies and pivoting to my new role as the second employee in the United States at a start-up — it's been a huge culture shock in the best way. Since then, I've been able to work across nearly every team and help build processes that continuously improve the way we operate.
What is your ultimate long-term professional goal and how has your MBA studies helped you make progress in this area? Ultimately I want to continue to work in roles with very diverse projects and teams that allow me to connect with and learn from teams that are not necessarily in my specialty. The MBA program is another stepping stone in the direction of becoming a more well-rounded leader with a holistic perspective of business.

Gazprom has made a last-ditch attempt to bring gas to thousands of European homes without heating. With Ukraine refusing to transit Russian gas, Moscow has proposed a new deal, involving the European Union.
Moscow and Kiev have admitted they can no longer solve this dispute on their own. Near-bankrupt Ukraine wants 1.5 Billion cubic meters of gas from Gazprom free. Gazprom argues it is not a charity, but without that gift Kiev's won't carry out its transit contract.
At its command centre in Moscow Gazprom shows Ukraine is not letting gas through. To up the pressure on Kiev, Gazprom has put together a barter deal with European leaders, according to CEO Aleksey Miller.
Gazprom will give Ukraine 20 million cubic meters of gas for its population, and Ukraine will transfer the same amount across the border to Slovakia.
Having failed to shame Kiev into cooperating, the EU would back the deal according to, monitor, Albert Grigorian.
In the coldest winter this century, Russian Premier Putin says Kiev's taken Europe "hostage" – tens of thousands of Europeans have lost their central heating.
Russian President Medvedev's convened a gas crisis summit of European states for Saturday. Ukraine has been invited.


A few years ago for Christmas I gave my niece Emma a Fisher Price nativity set just like this one. The cutest little roly poly Mary and Joseph you've ever seen, with a little baby Jesus in the straw. I FaceTime often with Emma, and by that wonderful live computer video, I get to "play" with her in my mother's living room, 1500 miles away.
She would show me all her toys, holding each one up to the camera, tells me a story about it, then places it on the keyboard below. My mom snapped this picture of Emma and me playing one day. Me in Florida, Emma in New York.
If you look closely, you can see the Baby Jesus in his straw-lined cradle up toward the top of the picture.
Well, we celebrate it on December 25th.
to make it into chairs and tables and beds and maybe even built houses.
"Aunt Hedy, this is baby Jesus.
But he's a grown-up, too, right?
That question really got me thinking. Today we celebrate the birth of that baby born in a manger all those years ago. But we celebrate today because Jesus didn't stay a baby.
In next week's services on New Year's Day at my church, we'll celebrate Epiphany by exploring the visit of the Wise Men, the Magi we hear about in the 2nd chapter of Matthew's gospel. But by the time they arrived, Jesus may have been around two years old.
And then, the following week, we'll remember Jesus' baptism by John, when Jesus was in his early 30s.
just a week later, all grown up!
We have the benefit of having the full story laid out for us. We know the joyful, surprising beginning of Jesus' life. We can read the biblical record of his teachings, his power, his wisdom and kindness. We know that he gave of himself so freely, so fully, going to the cross… for us. And we know that even as they lay his body down in the tomb, that this was not the end of the story, but that on Easter morning, he would rise again, bringing hope into the world.
Christmas is the world-wide celebration that it is because Baby Jesus grew up — full of grace and wisdom and truth — and gave himself for us, so that we could be saved. We celebrate Christmas because we know the whole story! Without that, celebrating Christmas doesn't make sense!
Without the knowledge of Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection, this is just another birthday of a child — precious, but like billions of others.
But we know the story.
On that first Christmas morning, what did Mary know about what her son would offer the world? She knew from what the angel had told her that the child she had carried for nine months was to be the Messiah, the Savior. He would be the King in the line of David. He was to be the rescuer of the people.
She would know all this, and yet… she would be holding in her arms an innocent, tiny child. A child she had nurtured in her womb. An infant she had felt kick while he was growing inside her. A child who had just been born from her body, now residing in the cradle of her arms. A baby — Mary's first baby — who was cherished and loved. She knew he would be the Messiah, but for now, in this moment, he was just Jesus, Mary's baby boy.
Every year, we celebrate the fact that our Father God chose to send his Son to earth in the form of a child. But stop and think for a moment what that really means. The Son of God — all powerful, majestic, through whom the universe was created — was born as a helpless baby.
Our God, willing to be put in the hands of earthly parents. Willing to be raised by Mary and Joseph, poor and obscure. Willing to be born, not in the palace of a king, but in a dirty borrowed stable. Defenseless, small, completely dependent on human beings to care for him. Our God was willing to become one of us — and to put himself in our hands.
Jesus' enters the world with very little initial fanfare. Jesus arrives surrounded not by family members, but by farm animals and dirt. He isn't presented to the waiting community celebrating outside his home. This King, the Son of God, is welcomed simply by his mother, and cradled in her tired and adoring arms.
The second people who meet Jesus are a group of shepherds from the nearby hills. We're so used to hearing this story, that we may not notice just how surprising this is. Shepherds were not highly regarded in those times. They spent most of their time out in the fields with their smelly animals, didn't bathe regularly, and were a generally rough and uncultured lot. And these are the first people outside the family that God chooses to greet the newborn Savior!
What a gift to us, that God announces Jesus' birth first not to the religious elite, or the earthly kings, but to a bunch of regular guys, going about their business. They are the first to hear this good news. And their reaction is so great! They rush down the hill into the town, wanting verification that what they've just heard is true.
She "treasured" it all and "pondered" them in her heart.
To "treasure" in Greek is suntéreó. It means to preserve in memory, to carefully keep in mind, to guard, to protect. It means, in effect, to safeguard, as if locking away a precious treasure to keep from losing it or having it stolen.
And then "to ponder." Sumballó in Greek. It means to consider, to think about seriously. But it also — and this is so important — it means to meet in battle with, to wage war with, to quarrel or dispute or fight.
There are a lot of other Greek words for thinking. Ones that mean to dispassionately process information, by logically considering all the different aspects. Ones that mean to think about something with the intent of finding a positive solution.
But these are the words chosen to describe how Mary thinks about what has happened: suntéreó and sumballó. To hold close and safe, and to battle with.
We sometimes make the mistake of believing that faith should be easy. We think that if we doubt or wonder or struggle, that our belief isn't deep enough, isn't real, isn't true.
Mary, as devoted and faithful as she was, still wrestled with what it meant for her beloved child to be the Messiah. She would struggle with it as she watched him grow, as she heard his words, as she witnessed his death on the cross. She treasured in her heart the words of the angels, reinforced by the witness of the shepherds who told her what they had heard. She held that knowledge up against what she experienced. What did it mean?
What does it mean for us to believe that over two thousand years ago God entered directly into creation in the form of a tiny, vulnerable baby? What does it mean to believe that God would leave behind the glory and power of heaven, to come to earth, becoming human?
What does it mean to believe that we worship a God who calls us to be peacemakers, merciful and pure of heart?
What does it mean to believe that we worship a God who understands us — completely, fully, intimately — because that God not only created us, but has been one of us? What does it mean that we worship a God who gave sacrificially to redeem and save us?
And what does it mean to believe all that in the context of our outside-the-walls-of-this-sanctuary lives? What does it mean to believe all that in this pain-filled world?
It is all too easy to simply allow the hope and joy and the fun of this season to wash over us, giving us a temporary sense of peace and well-being. We celebrate Christmas… and then we move on.
But Christmas isn't meant to be a brief stopping point.
It is meant to be a place of change and transformation.
Like the birth of a child, Christmas is meant to be the beginning.
This Christmas, I pray that we would — like Mary — choose to hold on tightly to the reality that God loves us. Treasure that knowledge, lock it deep in our hearts.
And then, think about it — really think about it. What does the coming of God into the world mean for our lives? Think about the tension between the promise of the gift of Jesus and the challenges of your life. Wrestle with, fight with the knowledge that God's love exists in a world that is so often still chaotic and heartbreaking.
God is not afraid of your wonderings. God is not made angry by your questions. God loves you, knows you, cherishes you. And God wants you to know him, even better than you ever have before.
and a new year filled to overflowing with God's love!
