Forecasts suggests a drop in beef production according to Regency Purchasing Group
Home » Beef » Forecasts suggests a drop in beef production according to Regency Purchasing Group
The 'Brexit effect' has said to have hit beef production in the UK, which could potentially put more pressure on farmers while being good news for diners, according to procurement business, The Regency Purchasing Group.
The Regency Purchasing Group, a UK procurement businesses serving the hospitality and catering industry, has reported that while producers may see their income drop because of reduced production, prices seem set to be stable for restaurateurs and diners.
The group also reports stable beef prices will undoubtedly come as some comfort to restaurants and diners, as there is a danger of some fruit and veg shortages – and therefore potential price increases – because there are not enough seasonal workers to harvest the produce.
Alex Demetriou, managing director of the Regency Group, said: "There was an increase in slaughtering in the first quarter of this year because of all the uncertainty around Brexit and the potential impact on the beef markets if we had left the EU at the end of March, as intended.
"The result is that there was plenty of beef in the first quarter, but we are now well into Q2 and production is low because farmers took smaller cattle to slaughter whereas normally they would have waited and we would have had a more even distribution of beef in the market over Q1 and Q2."
He said forecasts suggest a drop in beef production of 3.5% in Q2 this year compared to the same period of last year and warned that the overall impact of this could be a drop in farmers' income while there is sufficient supply to ensure stable prices for restaurants and their customers.
Demetriou added: "Interestingly, demand is also down by 5% compared to the same period last year.
"Turkey has stopped taking Polish beef, and it is therefore expected that this product will be pushed back into the EU and UK, which will also help keep pricing stable."

Entertainer Lil Rick can now be called the biggest chef on Barbados' calypso circuit, with a mouth-watering recipe to satisfy the taste buds of hungry soca fans. The irresistible showman was the star act on Bacchanal Time's 35th anniversary Homecoming Show at the Wildey Gymnasium on Wednesday night. Fresh from winning his maiden Sweet Soca title, Lil Rick captivated the near-capacity crowd as he climaxed the Emancipation Day show at 12:30 a.m. by serving up a delectable meal. His delicious Breadfast In Bed was so tasty, patrons left their seats and consumed the sumptuous song by dancing at the front of the stage.

The irresistible showman was the star act on Bacchanal Time's 35th anniversary Homecoming Show at the Wildey Gymnasium on Wednesday night. Fresh from winning his maiden Sweet Soca title, Lil Rick captivated the near-capacity crowd as he climaxed the Emancipation Day show at 12:30 a.m. by serving up a delectable meal.
His delicious Breadfast In Bed was so tasty, patrons left their seats and consumed the sumptuous song by dancing at the front of the stage.
Party Monarch king Mikey had prepared the table for Lil Rick by getting the crowd into One Feting Family.
Another favourite, Stiffy, asked who told the most Lies (the men or the women) and the two-time Bashment Soca king was plugged in to all with snippets of No Boring Girls Allowed, Tip And Ben Ova and Tek Off Something.
King Bubba's confession of being an alcoholic was manifested in Juice, Whole Night, Who Drinking Rum and Jiggle Jiggle as he allowed dancers Zhane and Simone to show off their moves.
The show started at 8:04 p.m. with the witty MC KB Kleen getting a Bacchanal wave from the patrons.
Adrian AC Clarke, who will open tonight's Pic-O-De-Crop Final at Kensington Oval, did a tribute to the revered Romeo, singing his 1981 winning song, Brudda Fuzzy.
AC also sang his Sweet Soca song, Soca You, even twisting the chorus to get the ladies to tell their men, if they want and need it, they got to taste it.
He was followed by another Pic-O-De-Crop finalist Donella with her plea, Pray For The Children, and reigning calypso king iWeb gave a dramatic rendition of his political commentary M.I.A., highlighted by his comical imitation of former Minister of Agriculture David Estwick's fiery platform speeches during the General Election. He returned in party mood with Best In Me.
Veteran ten-time calypso king and Cultural Ambassador Stedson Red Plastic Bag Wiltshire picked up the pace with Spontaneous, this year's spiritual offering, I Am Alive, and last year's Sweet Soca winning number, Boat Ride, which saw patrons getting up from their seats and dancing.
He was followed by Party Monarch finalist Mac Fingall, who shared Blows in song and comedy.
The hilarious Madd Entertainment trio of KB Kleen, PC Broomes and the transcendent Rudefus/Queen then took over the stage. They went down memory lane and provided "quality ignorance" with their comical hits such as Days Of Our Lives, Bend Down and De Maddy School Patrol, featuring Glamour Girl Sue, and Last Saturday Night.
The Queen, in a red dress, took a walk through the crowd to find the ladies with "donkey hair" before singing this year's Talk Is Cheap.
After starting the second half and rolling back the years with Wait For Me Grynner, Mr T and Leggo I Hand, double hat-trick road march king Mighty Grynner was presented with a plaque by Madd for 50 years of excellent entertainment.

Gunman dead after failed attempt to rob Resorts World Manila
Tags: gunman, ISIS, Resorts World Manila, robbery.
Posted on 05 June 2017 by "T".
It happened this early Friday morning that several gunshots were heard at the Resorts World Manila. Initial reports stated a masked man fired his gun within the resort-casino premises and set an area on fire. While the turmoil brews, the resort-casino area has been put on lockdown.
Now, Philippine police say that the gunman has killed himself. The unnamed suspect began firing shots and set a few gaming tables ablaze of the Resorts World Manila in the wee hours of Friday, June 2.
Local media reports said that the local police, fire trucks and a SWAT team responded to the attack.
Dela Rosa said that the lone gunman walked into one of the gambling rooms, fired his assault rifle at a big TV screen, and then poured gasoline on a gaming table and set it on fire. The police chief said the gunman then fired again at a stock room which contained gambling chips and filled his backpack with them, worth 113 million pesos ($2.3m or £1.7m). He then left the room and went upstairs to the hotel area of the complex.
The police said that the incident was not related to terrorism and the likely motive was robbery. National police chief Ronald Dela Rosa stated, "The lone gunman is already neutralized. He is dead. He burned himself inside the hotel room. He lay down on the bed, covered himself with a thick blanket, apparently poured petrol on the blanket and burned himself."
Police speculate that the suspect may have lost in the casino and wanted to get his money back, or he simply went "totally nuts". Dela Rosa said that if it had been terrorism, then "he would have shot all the people gambling there, but he did not hurt anyone."
The Islamic State group quickly claimed responsibility. According to the SITE Intelligence Group that monitors terrorist organizations, the IS said they have "lonewolf soldiers" from their group that carried out the attack.
Customers inside the casino recalled their horrible experience when the shooting occurred.
An employee of Reosrts World Maricel Navaro, said, "I was about to return to the second floor from my break when I saw people running. Some hotel guests said someone yelled 'ISIS'! Guests were screaming. We went to the basement locker room and hid there. People were screaming, guests and employees were in panic. When we smelled smoke, we decided to go for the exit in the carpark. That's where we got out. Before we exited, we heard two gunshots and there was thick smoke on the ground floor."
About 75 people were hurt, some of them seriously, and 25 were taken to the hospital. Most of the patients suffered the effects of smoke inhalation, minor injuries such as bruising, while some sustained minor fractures as they stampeded to escape, but none had gunshot wounds.
Resorts World Manila is a popular tourist attraction just adjacent to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. It houses hotels, a shopping mall and a casino complex.

These are quite shocking events and it must have been terrifying for all the people involved. These sort of events are happening way too frequently and i am glad that none of the people inside were killed
Robbo1990 06/06/2017 08:33:07 GMT
why two threads for this now?
DaCapo71 06/06/2017 12:40:18 GMT
That this bad guy killes himself was the only good thing for that news. It was unbelievable what some frustrated people do, perhaps he lost his last money in the casino before and was on tilt. And in combination with drugs or alcohol this was the rsult.

Perhaps this news article was written while this event was still occurring, because it failed to report that 37 people were killed, most as a result of the fire the perpetrator set:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/02/asia/manila-philippines-r...
yeah,its almost same thread like we had few days ago,just we have confirmation that he is dad and picture of him!but we already knewt that he killed himself and that this was because he lost lot of money in casino!
Tony_MON7ANA 06/06/2017 15:34:10 GMT
Thank you very much for the update, crankmuppet.
This is an utterly atrocious and despicable act. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the victims and the families of those killed and injured.
pajalnick 06/06/2017 19:22:43 GMT
A casino is a place where you can easily go crazy because of losing or other gambling things .... I'm very glad that the security service always works in such places and watches the crazy people ... of course many after this case will change their attitude to Such places and it's sad
Mober 06/06/2017 21:09:27 GMT
Besides crankmuppet's input i dont see any difference in the article, besides it has
a different picture.
Apparently is a double post for some reason, and any updates should have been posted in the other thread

Lagos, Ogun Identify Over 100 People Who Had Contact With Coronavirus Patient
By EL OFFICIAL in LATEST UPDATESNEWS March 1, 2020
In their bid to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, Lagos and Ogun State governments have identified at least 100 people, who had contact with a 44-year-old Italian, who's the first patient of the disease in Nigeria.
The Italian who works for a vendor that provides services to Lafarge Africa Plc, a cement manufacturing company at Ewekoro, Ogun state reportedly came into the country on Monday, February 24, 2020.
On his arrival, the Italian was said to have spent the night in a hotel around the airport before leaving for Ewekoro on Tuesday morning.
The 44-year-old man, however, tested positive for the virus after falling ill and was thereafter taken to the Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba, Lagos.
Following the index case, Ogun state government shut down Lafarge cement plant and quarantined 28 people believed to have had contact with the Italian.
In an interview with Channels TV on Saturday, February 29, Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof Akin Abayomi said over 100 persons who had contact with the Coronavirus patient had been identified.
"By Saturday, his symptoms had subsided. He hasn't developed any respiratory symptoms and we are quite happy about that because if he has respiratory symptoms like coughing and sneezing, it makes the disease more contagious," he said.

In another interview with Arise TV, Abayomi said the hotel room, where the Italian patient lodged on Monday night has been identified.
"We're going there this morning (Saturday) to decontaminate the room and the entire hotel. We will identify all the people who had contact with him in the hotel," he said.
3 Chinese men quarantined in Plateau
Meanwhile, Plateau State Government has quarantined three Chinese men over concerns that they may have contracted coronavirus.
The state commissioner of health, Nimkong Ndam confirmed the development saying the men arrived the state from Ethiopia on Friday, February 28, 2020.
He said the Chinese nationals were in the state for mining activities.
Corroborating Ndam, Plateau commissioner for information, Dan Manjang while confirming the development said the Chinese arrived Abuja on Friday and headed for Jos on the same day.

my problem. You're incredible! Thanks!
Hi, Eric here with a quick thought about your website edoloaded.com…
I'm on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.
Like yours, many of them have great content.
But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.
I get it – it's hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.
Here's a solution for you…

Hey there, I just found your site, quick question…
My name's Eric, I found edoloaded.com after doing a quick search – you showed up near the top of the rankings, so whatever you're doing for SEO, looks like it's working well.
So here's my question – what happens AFTER someone lands on your site? Anything?
Research tells us at least 70% of the people who find your site, after a quick once-over, they disappear… forever.
That means that all the work and effort you put into getting them to show up, goes down the tubes.
Why would you want all that good work – and the great site you've built – go to waste?
Because the odds are they'll just skip over calling or even grabbing their phone, leaving you high and dry.
But here's a thought… what if you could make it super-simple for someone to raise their hand, say, "okay, let's talk" without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket?
You can – thanks to revolutionary new software that can literally make that first call happen NOW.

The world's elite coming to the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix
Published : Thursday, March 25, 2021, 11:36 am
The 44th Porsche Tennis Grand Prix features one of the strongest main draw fields in its history. Headed by Ashleigh Barty, the world No. 1, a total of seven Top 10 players will be appearing in the Porsche Arena from 17 to 25 April. They are joined by eight grand slam winners on the entry list published by the WTA for the long-standing Stuttgart tournament. This year's main prize for the winner is a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo.
For Ashleigh Barty, it is her first participation at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. "I've heard lots of positive things about the tournament and I'm really looking forward to taking part for the first time," said the Australian. As the winner of Porsche Race to Shenzhen, she won the prestigious WTA Finals in addition to the French Open in 2019. The other Top 10 stars are Simona Halep (Romania/3), Sofia Kenin (USA/4), Elina Svitolina (Ukraine/5), Karolina Pliskova (Czech Republic/6), the Stuttgart winner in 2018, Aryna Sabalenka (Belarus/8) as well as the title-holder Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic/10). Other top players on the list are Iga Swiatek (Poland), the winner of the 2020 French Open, the Australian Open runner-up, Jennifer Brady (USA), Belinda Bencic (Switzerland) as well as the former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka (Belarus).
Wildcards for Laura Siegemund and Andrea Petkovic
The depth of the quality is also underlined by the fact that 14 Top 20 players will also be in the line-up at the tournament. Three Germans are also in the main draw. In addition to the Porsche Brand Ambassador Angelique Kerber, who won in Stuttgart in 2015 and 2016, Laura Siegemund (2017 winner) and Andrea Petkovic will take part. They have both received wildcards. The eight grand slam winners in the Porsche Arena are Ashleigh Barty (Paris 2019), Simona Halep (Paris 2018, Wimbledon 2019), Sofia Kenin (Melbourne 2020), Petra Kvitova (Wimbledon 2011, 2014), Iga Swiatek (Paris 2020), Victoria Azarenka (Melbourne 2013), Jelena Ostapenko (Paris 2017) as well as Angelique Kerber (Melbourne, New York 2016, Wimbledon 2018). The originally entered Naomi Osaka (Japan) will now begin the European clay court season a little later in May.
"Huge proof of the confidence the players have in us"
"It's a unique field for a tournament in our category. I know of no other comparable event on the WTA Tour with so many top stars," says Tournament Director Markus Günthardt. "The fact that these players are also coming here in these difficult times is huge proof of the confidence they have in us and speaks for the popularity of our tournament. It shows they trust us to provide safe conditions and to also ensure a certain feelgood factor despite all the restrictions. The efforts we've made together with Porsche and all the partners to hold the tournament even in these difficult times have all definitely been worthwhile."
Talents from the German Tennis Association's junior teams have also been given the opportunity to get a taste of the big WTA atmosphere in the Porsche Arena. The Porsche Talent Team's Nastasja Schunk and Alexandra Vecic have received a qualifying wildcard as has the reigning German champion Noma Noha Akugue, who is supported in the Porsche Junior Team.
Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo as the winner's trophy
The winner of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix traditionally receives a Porsche sports car as the main prize. "The nicest winner's trophy on the WTA Tour" as Angelique Kerber once put will have a purely electric drivetrain for the first time. With the recently premiered Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo as the main prize, the stars can look forward to a quite special winner's car. The first derivative of the all-electric Taycan is a real all-rounder among electric sports cars.
As visitors are not allowed into the Porsche Arena due to the uncertain development of the pandemic after consulting with the local authorities and the WTA, the range of multi-media services for tennis fans will be significantly expanded. This means for the first time, all the singles matches will be streamed live – with professional commentators – on www.porsche-tennis.com. The long-time TV partners SWR, Eurosport and DAZN have also extended their live coverage of the most important matches in the Porsche Arena. A daily highlights show can be viewed on the n-tv news channel. Internationally, the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix will be televised in over 100 countries. Tennis fans can also experience the tournament emotionally and interactively on Internet and in doing so see the 2011 winner in a new role. The Porsche Brand Ambassador Julia Görges will provide an interesting insight in the players' world on the tournament's social media channels.
Porsche in tennis
Porsche has been sponsoring the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix ever since 1978 and has also been the organiser since 2002. The tournament in Stuttgart's Porsche Arena was voted by the players as their favourite event in its category once again in 2019. Within the scope of its global partnership with the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), Porsche is also the title partner of the "Porsche Race to Shenzhen", the official qualifying ranking for the Shiseido WTA Finals. The Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer is also the exclusive automotive partner of the WTA as well as the WTA Finals, and this year the WTA tournaments in Lyon and St. Petersburg. As a premium partner of the "Deutsche Tennis Bund" (DTB – German Tennis Association), the company supports Porsche Team Germany in the Billie Jean King Cup (formerly the Fed Cup) and fosters up-and-coming players in the Porsche Talent Team and the Porsche Junior Team. Angelique Kerber, Julia Görges and Maria Sharapova give Porsche a face in tennis as Brand Ambassadors.

Gregorio Jorge Dupont (1941-Buenos Aires, 18 de agosto de 2022) fue un diplomático argentino, que se desempeñó como embajador de Argentina en Israel y Zimbabue, entre otros cargos.

Biografía
Dupont pertenecía a la segunda camada de diplomáticos del Instituto del Servicio Exterior de la Nación, donde fue compañero de Elena Holmberg. Al respecto, mientras éste trabajaba en la dirección de África y Cercano Oriente del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores argentino, Holmberg le confió el dato de la existencia del Centro Piloto de París en la delegación argentina en Francia, como también de una reunión en París entre Emilio Eduardo Massera y Mario Firmenich. Dupont la quiso desalentar de hacerlo, por temor a represalias, siendo Holmberg secuestrada y desaparecida posteriormente. El hermano del mismo Dupont, Marcelo, también fue detenido y aseinado durante el autoproclamado Proceso de Reorganización Nacional. Estos hechos lo hicieron parte de las personas que declararon como testigos en el Juicio a las Juntas, como también en otros donde se enjuició a miembros del grupo Montoneros.

Tras el fin de la dictadura militar, que lo había cesado de toda función, Dupont fue reincorporado al servicio exterior argentino, llegando a ocupar el cargo de embajador argentino en Zimbabue en la década de 1990, como Israel entre 2000 y 2002. Durante la presidencia de Néstor Kirchner, fue destinado como cónsul general en Miami en 2004. Se retiró finalmente en 2008 de la carrera diplomática. Sus restos fueron sepultados en el Cementerio de la Recoleta.

Q: Page column meaning in Google Analytics Why "Page" value differs between "Behavior->Site Content->All Pages"
and "Behavior->Events->Pages"?
In "Behavior->Site Content->All Pages" I see page name what I specified for page view hit (as expected) but
in "Behavior->Events->Pages" I see page URL. In both cases column name is "Page".

A: The "All Pages" lists all the pages on your site that were visited, including any relevant statistics. The Events Pages lists pages on your site that fired events, including any relevant statistics.

Q: Create all possible cards with itertools and zip I am trying to create all possible combinations of poker cards. So, I ran:
import itertools as it
ranks = (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,'Jack','Queen','King','Ace')
suits = ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds')
for i in zip(ranks, it.repeat(suits, 14)):
    print(i)

And got:
(2, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
(3, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
(4, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
(5, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
(6, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
(7, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
(8, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
(9, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
(10, ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
('Jack', ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
('Queen', ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
('King', ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))
('Ace', ('Spades', 'Clubs', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds'))

What would be an efficient way to get ['2 of Spades', '2 of Clubs', '2 of Hearts', ...] from this list of tuples?
My current method is:
cards = []
for card in zip(ranks, it.repeat(suits, 14)):
    rank, suits = card
    for suit in suits:
        cards.append("{} of {}".format(rank, suit))

Is there a better way to do this? What is it?

A: I think you don't need itertools for that. List comprehension will work fine:
cards = [ "{} of {}".format(r, s) for r in ranks for s in suits ]

Car News Crashes and Fires Hybrid McLaren
McLaren P1 catches fire in the UK, looks to have dropped oil?
A McLaren P1, one of 375 ever made, has spontaneously combusted in the UK, likely torching the hypercar to a pile of ash and vivid blue shards.
It's understood the McLaren P1 caught fire over the weekend, with a majority of the hot orange floaty stuff coming from the engine area. At this stage it's unclear what caused the fire to start exactly but one could quickly assume the heat of the engine may have sparked something.
An electric spark may have also contributed, remembering the McLaren P1 is powered by a high-tech hybrid system which incorporates a 324-cell lithium-ion battery pack located just behind the cabin. This unit alone produces 131kW, adding to the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8's 542kW. In other words, there is a lot going on under the skin.
If you look closely in the video below, which surfaced on Instagram, there does appear to be a trail of liquid on the road which is also on fire. This could be fuel or even oil, both of which can easily be sparked up into flames. Fuel usually evaporates pretty quickly though, especially when it's on fire, so we'd be guessing it's some kind of oil.
There are no reports of injuries which hopefully means the driver and any passengers escaped without harm. It's understood the P1 was build plate 341, according to a recent report on The Drive. Take a look at the video below if you feel like being a bit sad today – or happy if you're inclined to schadenfreude.
Another "quality" #McLaren product. Hope the driver was ok. #p1 #deathtrap

Crochet designer Lorene Eppolite offers valuable tips and tricks for choosing yarn weights and hook sizes for various crochet projects.
One of the greatest things about crochet is that you don't need a ton of materials to get a project started. In fact, it may be the most streamlined craft around! All you truly need is yarn, and a hook is very helpful.
Of course within that brief supplies list, you have a few options. Yarn is available in a range of fibers, from natural to synthetic, and can even be made from recycled matter. Crochet hooks are also made from several types of materials, such as wood, aluminum, and plastic.
Once you determine the fiber you want to use for your crochet project, you'll need to consider the weight of the yarn. Yarn comes in weights 0 – 6 : the smaller the number, the thinner the yarn.
Of course you're not limited to these projects, and it can be fun to experiment with different weights once you're comfortable with a particular pattern, but these guidelines are great for beginners.
The most commonly used yarn is worsted weight, because it is right in the middle and is the most versatile.
Along with weight, yarn labels will also give a recommended hook size to use with the yarn. You can go generally go up and down a hook size and still get a similar result.
Using a smaller hook will usually give your project a stiffer feel, whereas using a larger hook will give more drape and movement. Smaller hooks also produce a denser fabric, while larger hooks will have a more lacy effect on your project. You can check your gauge with a swatch to be sure.
The hooks most commonly used with worsted weight yarn are 5.5mm, 6.0mm, and 6.5mm. A lot of people also use the 5.0mm hook with this popular yarn.
Yarn is available at all different price points. In general, less expensive yarns are lower quality, and more costly yarns are better quality, but this is not always the case.
It's important to factor in the size of your project when you're calculating the total cost of the yarn that you will use. For example, if you're setting out to make a large blanket, you'll likely want to go with a more affordably priced yarn because you know you'll need more than a couple skeins.
If you're selling items, make sure you think about the price point of the final product so you don't select a yarn that ends up eating into your profits.
There are many things to consider when determining what yarn and hook to use, but it will become second nature once you have followed a few patterns and experimented with different yarn weights and hook sizes.
What is your go-to yarn or hook? Share in the comments section!
My favorite hook sizes are H and I and I used to just like #4 weight yarn but now I've been getting into making triangle scarves with #3 weight Mandalla.
Bernat baby coordinates with a J or K for baby blankets, f for booties, g for hat. This makes a nice set for a new baby.
I found it Informative. I'm kinda new at crocheting, thanks!
Hmmm well I guess I better get my rear in gear and get back to crocheting 🧶 along with the knitting I THOUGHT 💭 I LIKED BETTER until I saw this guide to yarn 🧶 and crochet hooks. Hey I have the hooks and the yarns so ya I'm gonna just DO IT Y'all !!!!!
Hi Denise, yes you can find the pattern for that cardigan in the student download file of Lorene's video course, "Elevate Your Crochet to Professional Level" when you sign into your CreativiU Elite account.
How do you tell size of hook if no numbers or letters on the needle?
Hi Caren, you can use a measuring tape to check the diameter (not circumference) of your crochet hook in the space between the hook itself and the grip where you hold it. It will be in millimeters. Just remember to measure across, not around!
Thank you for reviewing yarns a nd hooks. My Grandma taught me to knit but never crochet. I'm excited to get started.
Really enjoyed the video I didn't relize there was many different yarns out there more to look for now.

Opposition leader Lim Kit Siang added a few missiles of his own into the Mahathir WMD attack. He asked foreign minister Syed Hamid whether the former PM had breached the Official Secrets Act (OSA) in revealing correspondence and various negotiating issues on the scenic bridge in his 7-page open letter to Kelab Maya UMNO?
If so, he asked whether the Malaysian government intend to arrest and trial the ole man? I am sure many would like to see that, especially Anwar Ibrahim.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are those who would say, "Hey, he had a dose of his own medicine of being blacked out by the media; why not go the full hog and put him behind bars."
But Dr Mahathir isn't your ordinary bloke, with probably a considerable segment of support in UMNO. Besides, what he has revealed thus far, while self-serving or serving the (international) legal grounds for the bridge construction, point towards the usual cabinet misinformation to the public.
In democracy, it's called misleading the public which calls for political sepukku (honourable suicide, or in political terms, resignation). Unfortunately in Malaysian politics, there's no honour!
Then Lim said that if Dr Mahathir won't be prosecuted for breach of the OSA, the entire range of documents relating to the negotiations should be declassified.
According to Malaysiakini, an embattled Lt Kolonel Syed Hamid - Lt Kolonel for his smart 'belakang pusing' (about turn) in the bridge affair - promptly dodged a reply by attacking Lim instead:
"From the start, I knew you had malicious intent. I don't think Tun Mahathir had any (such) intentions (when he raised the issue). It's an opinion. We just have different opinions. You have always been against the OSA, but now you want to use the OSA ...?"
Yeah, but what about Dr Mahathir's release of hitherto classified cabinet papers? Can they be declassified and released to public scrutiny?
Syed Hamid then said wonderful stuff about Dr Mahathir blah blah blah, and took what he thought would be the high road by adding:
"(Don't) try to attack someone who is no longer a parliamentarian and who is unable to rebut your allegations here."
Now, we all know Dr Mahathir has a weakness which is his soft spot for bodek-ing (sycophantic coo-ings). Syed Hamid's sterling performance may yet win him a pat or two from the Tun.
Earlier, Syed Hamid had virtually lobbed the ball into PM Abdullah Badawi's court on the abandonment of the bridge by stating:
"This is not a personal decision of any cabinet member, but a decision of the government. So whether a person is responsible or not should not arise."
Bullshit! Someone or the entire cabinet has to be responsible. But that's the whole problem with the Malaysian government. No one in government is ever responsible. Especially not the cabinet!
And just to be sure he distributed his bodek-ing evenly, he declared:
"This was a very brave decision although it was difficult. It was a brave (decision)."

syed hamid even recruited God to his defence, He is his witness!


To enhance air transport safety, the main objective of VISION is to validate smarter technologies for aircraft Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) by including 1/ vision-based systems 2/ advanced detection and resilient methods. Critical flight situations are targeted, especially during near-ground operation phases (half of 169 fatal accidents in the last decade during approach or landing). Actually, despite continuous improvements in reliability and performance, the complexity of Flight Control Systems also requires to use many sources likely to suffer from faults and environmental conditions. To overcome these anomalies, recent projects have evaluated advanced solutions, but their transfer to the industry is slowed down by lack of flight validations, limitations of on-board computers or certification issues. The TRL reached by both sides are rather equivalent, with dissimilar pros and cons. Accordingly, VISION aims at capitalizing on the know-how and experience independently acquired to make a significant improvement and maturation of the TRL achieved. To demonstrate the solutions, complementary efforts will be undertaken and two scenarios are considered: i) Flight control recovery, ii) Navigation and guidance recovery during the final approach phase. In i), Fault Detection and Diagnosis and Fault Tolerant Control techniques will be implemented in faulty situations. In ii), vision will be used to estimate and modify the aircraft glide path when local navigation data is denied, or when unexpected obstacles are detected. In both cases, the GN&C systems will be tested on real aircraft platforms and their performance evaluated. VISION will result in flight-validated GN&C solutions with increased TRL, with benefits for the European aircraft industry.


A Familiar Villain May Make Appearance in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is set to hit theaters on April 4th, but it is only now that we're hearing of a rumor that a certain villain may make an appearance in the movie.
While at the Toy Fair 2014, MTV took photos of the upcoming Hasbro action figures for the film. It turns out that one of those figures is Red Skull, the villain from "Captain America: The First Avenger."
It's possible that Hasbro just wants to sell some Red Skull toys and the villain has nothing to do with the movie. But Screen Crave claims that one of the songs on the soundtrack is titled "Alexander Pierce is the Red Skull."
All of this has yet to be confirmed, so consider the story nothing more than a rumor. Hugo Weaving previously said that he wouldn't want to reprise the role, but added that he's contractually obligated to return for two more films if Marvel wanted him.
Come on marvel didn't whisk him away instead of killing him for no reason. I wish they would have gone with the ultimates red skull whom is actually Steve Rogers son would have been more interesting to pop into the future and realize you had a child you also had no idea of.
Alexander Pierce?? Isn't that Johnny Depp's character?? Anyway, the plot sounds fishy.
It could be like in Winter Soldier comic, where Red Skull was possessing the mind of Alexander Lukin(Alexander Pierce is replacing him in the movie, if I understood correctly).
Gotta love them contracts forcing ppl to do movies they dont wanna do. The good part here is that Hugo Weaving is such a great actor he would to a reprise more than well!
Weaving sucked as Red Skull. They need to recast the role with someone who actually wants to play the part, out their heart into it. Let Hugo go!
Robert Redford's character in it will ultimately be the Red Skull.
This website will crash, ads will infest your browser, and Alex will buy hookers and blow with the money he makes off your clicks.
Not disputing the rumors of Red Skull appearing in the movie it seems probable, but I do know that supposed Soundtrack listing is 100% fake.
I saw it on another site and the track list has at least 3 tracks with titles that were once Police Academy movie titles.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Red Skull came back, since if you ask me, that was the best villain Phase 1 churned out.

Двойная ирландская с голландским сэндвичем (, иногда Двойной ирландский виски с голландским сэндвичем) — популярная в США схема оптимизации налоговых обязательств посредством использования двух ирландских и одной голландской компаний. Ирландские компании выступают в роли «хлеба», а между ними находится голландская компания, как «сыр» или «колбаса».

Такая структура оптимизации используется преимущественно крупными корпорациями США в отношении оптимизации доходов от объектов интеллектуальной собственности.

Схема позволяет значительно уменьшать налоги, как на территории США, так и на территории государств возникновения доходов.

Структура схемы
Для схемы «Двойная ирландская с голландским сэндвичем» создаётся три компании. Компания, использующая схему, передаёт свою интеллектуальную собственность аффилированной компании (№ 1), зарегистрированной в Ирландии, но являющейся налоговым резидентом какой-либо офшорной зоны. Вторая компания создаётся в Голландии и сублицензирует права на интеллектуальную собственность у первой компании. Затем третья компания, являющаяся налоговым резидентом Ирландии, сублицензирует права у голландской фирмы.

Из-за особенностей голландского налогового законодательства и международных соглашений подобное сублицензирование и платежи по нему не облагаются налогами.

Компания № 3 часто является 100 % «дочкой» компании № 1. Эта же компания и ведёт реальную деятельность в различных странах, пересылая практически всю прибыль через голландскую компанию (№ 2) в виде роялти.

Сходные схемы

Double Irish
В схеме Double Irish используется две ирландских компании. Первая из них является офшорной, которая владеет правами на интеллектуальную собственность. Данная компания регистрируется как налоговый резидент в офшорной зоне, например на Каймановых островах или на Бермудах. По налоговым законам Ирландии, компания является налоговым резидентом той страны, из которой она управляется, поэтому ирландская компания может не являться налоговым резидентом Ирландии. Первая компания лицензирует за большую сумму права второй компании, которая является налоговым резидентом Ирландии. Вторая компания получает доходы от использования прав в различных странах (кроме США), однако налогом облагается только разница между лицензионными платежами и доходами. На эту разницу распространяется налог в 12,5 %.

14 октября 2014 года газета The Independent сообщила, что министр финансов Ирландии Майкл Нунан исключил возможность применения «спорной» «двойной ирландской» налоговой схемы, изменив правила корпоративного налогового резидентства. Нерезидентные компании, зарегистрированные в Ирландии, должны перейти на другие схемы налогообложения до 2020 года, новые компании — до 1 января 2015 года.

Кипр
Что касается российской действительности, то основным инструментом оптимизации доходов от интеллектуальной собственности является использование компаний Республики Кипр. С 1 января 2012 года в отношении доходов от интеллектуальной собственности на Кипре предоставляется восьмидесятипроцентное освобождение от подоходного налога (Income Tax). Таким образом, эффективная ставка налога составляет 2,5 %.

Применение
Некоторые крупные компании применяли схемы «double irish» или «Двойная ирландская с голландским сэндвичем»:

 Adobe Systems
 Apple
 Eli Lilly and Company

While working as a motion graphic designer at Ignition, I created the cards for Amazon's original series, "Bosch". The client's direction was that they wanted a jazzy, classy, noir feeling to the graphics. I was in charge of the entire process, from coming up with a variety of styles and animations to the final execution of the graphic cards.


Executive Director Gary Renville reflects on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on the 50th anniversary of his death.
From my prior work with the National Kidney Foundation, I know that African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans have rates of diabetes that far exceed those in non-Hispanic whites. I also know that Hispanic males age 20 or younger have the highest prevalence of obesity compared to non-Hispanic whites and African Americans, and that African Americans are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than non-Hispanic whites.
These of course are just a few of the health inequities that not only affect individuals or specific populations but also impact the overall health status and health care costs facing those we serve.
Our volunteer board leaders—past and present—have a good answer for that question. Through careful stewardship of our mission and attention to our Care Coordination, Premium Assistance and Health Home programs, each of our amazing leaders is leaning in to help us increase access to specialty care and eliminate the health care disparities that still disturbingly affect the underserved and underrepresented.
We offer special thanks to our new board president Terri Rambosek and to recently appointed ex-officio member Nancy Belcher. And we extend our best wishes to immediate past president Chrissy Yamada and to board member Kristina Larson, who have just completed their terms. Together these leaders are helping to eliminate disparities in health care, and we thank them for their service.

Q: Unit test for node js I am new to nodejs, and need to write unit test for a node project. I try to learn mocha and there are two questions:

*

*when I write unit test for function A, in A it also use function B, so how can I mock an output for B?

*how can I unit test these endpoints in app.js. like app.get, app.put.
can someone give me some suggestions or simple examples?
Can someone also give me some advice on writing unit test for nodejs, thanks so much.
Thanks so much everyone.

A: Answering Q1,
If the output of b method is used in a metheod, then you can make the test of b method first.
Otherwise you can prepare result of b in before section of your test method and use it in a method.
It depends on your approach of testing.
Answering Q2 -
You can use superagent for sending get or post request ...
Some code examples ...

require('should');
var assert = require("assert");
var request = require('superagent');
var expect = require('expect.js');

then,

describe('yourapp', function(){
  before(function(){
        // function start
        start your server code
        // function end
  })
  describe('server', function(){
   describe('some-description', function(){
    it('should return json in response', function(done){
    request.post('http path')
    .send(JSON.parse("your json"))
    .end(function(res){
            expect(res).to.exist;
        expect(res.status).to.equal(200);
        expect(res.text).to.contain('ok');
        done();
    });
    })
  });
})
after(function(){
    //stop your server
})
});

Here done is an important aspect in a unit testing component for asynchronous method testing.
Some reference -
superagent
this blog post
Hope this will help you,
Thanks

A: Answering Q1,
If the funcitons in different modules,
You can use a mock tool : fremock
Using freemock You can do this:
your code
//function a exports in the module named mA
function a(){
    return "1";
}
//function a exports in the module named mB
function b(){
    a();
}

test code
var freemock = require('freemock');
freemock.start()
var mock_b = freemock.getMock('mB');
mock_b.setMethod({
    "a":{
        willReturn:"1"
    }
})
freemock.end();

Some advice:
Mocha is good test framework for node.js .
For example,

*

*Assert tool: should.js

*Code coverage tool:istanbul

*...

Mocha combines all this tools;
Here is a demo using Mocha:
your code(filename:mA.js)
//in the module named mA
function a(){
    return true;
}

test code(filename:testmA.js)
var should = require('should');
beforeEach(function(){
    //do something before testing
});
afterEach(function(){
    //do something after testing
});

describe("test",function(){
    describe("test1",function(){
        it("if true",function(){
            var mA = require('./mA');
            var result = mA.a();
            should.ok(result);
        });
        it("if false",function(){
            //other test
        });
    });
    describe("test2",function(){
        it("test2-1",function(){
            //other test
        })
    })
})

We should need run.js to start the test:
//run.js
var Mocha = require('mocha');
var mocha = new Mocha;
mocha.addFile(__dirname+'/test/testmA.js')
mocha.run();

The project dir tree is:
|- run.js
|
|- mA.js
|
|- test   -  testMA.js

Finally
Run this command:
istanbul cover run.js

Hope you enjoy!

A: I am recently involved in a node project where I have to run unit tests.
Eventually I wrote a small script runner for karma using NW.JS
This allowed me to access all node modules and run my tests on the server itself. I uploaded this project to github, Narma.
Right now it was only tested on a Mac

Farid goes for strategic growth in RCV market
1 September 2002, source LAWR
The Farid group, based in Italy, with a strong presence in the UK refuse collection vehicle market, has mapped out a strategy of focused internal growth and selective acquisition, which is seeing the manufacturer emerging as a leading pan-European player in the municipal and waste management market. Editor Alexander Catto reports from the group's hq in Turin on current developments.
Founded after the Second World War by the Orecchia family with the aim of producing specialist equipment for industrial vehicles, such as trailer, semi-trailers, tippers and car transporters, during the seventies, Farid gradually changed to concentrate on serving the commercial and residential waste collection sector.
"Our strategy has been very clear," Managing Director Dr Paolo Martinelli told LAWE, "to grow by internal growth and by the integration of other companies - market leaders in each specific market sector for municipal vehicles."
The latest move in implementing the strategy has been the acquisition of the Italian RCV manufacturer Brivio Pierino & C Srl. With the integration of the Milan-based producer, Farid group becomes the main Italian producer and a major player in Europe in the market for municipal vehicles for solid waste collection and the transportation of waste by vacuum tankers.
The Brivio Pierino move is seen as largely complementary to the existing Farid operations, both in terms of the RCV product lines, as well as expanding market opportunities geographically - in areas such as Eastern Europe.
Earlier moves in implementing the strategy for growth were, in 1999, the addition of Valle Teiro Europe Srl, the Italian manufacturer of small and medium satellite refuse vehicles, followed by the acquisition, in January 2001, of Moro Teveico SpA, a leading producer of container washers, combined sewer cleaners and street washers.
Dr Martinelli says that the group places emphasis on direct after sales service. In Italy the group has six service vehicles and carries out maintenance conracts for over 200 vehicles, mainly with municipalities.
The Farid range includes the rear loading compactor T2, compeletely designed and produced by Farid Research and Development. The equipment features the trend towards curved solutions in RCV designs. The body is made of a tubular construction utilising single single sheet, hardened steel technology, producing high structural rigidity while maintaining a low total weight.
There is a single section of sheet metal for each side of the body which allows loads at a compaction ratio of over 6:1 without failure of deformation and with a high safety factor. The curved shape of the floor improves the collection leachate in a special tank.
Capacity across the T2 C and T2 A models ranges from 18m³ to 30m³. A variety of lifting devices, including the group's own equipment, can be fitted to the vehicles, depending on customer's preference. They include lifts for 80 to 2,000 litre containers, adaptable to the various bin connections on the market; to sack lifts and skip loaders for containers up to 7m³.
At the more compact end of the spectrum the Farid range includes the Linea M Minimatic. This rear loading mini-compactor features innovative design combining high loading capacity and strength, with approximate volumes ranging from 6 to 8m³. At the top end of the league, the group also offers semi trailers with capacities up to 50m³.
European and global dimensions
Farid also established a 50-50% joint venture in December 2000 with the Spanish group. Ros Roca. Located in Barcelona, the JV operates the sale and service of side loaders and satellite vehicles produced by Farid for the Spanish market.
The group is also active in the South American market, through Farid de Venezuela CA, which was set up in 1976 to manufacture and assemble RCVs, in particular rear loaders. The Farid group overall is set on a pattern of growth, seeing turnover increase from €10 million to €78 million between 1994 and 2001. With the acquisition of Brivio Pierino the turnover of the new group is forecast to exceed €100million by 2003.
In the wake of the integration of Brivio Pierino, the group will produce about 1,600 units yearly, employing 570 staff working in six different production plants, four in Italy, one in the UK and one in Venezuela.
Following the latest move Farid will be market leader in Italy and other EU countries such as Austria, Portugal and Greece.
Farid sees Eastern Europe as offering potential for growth, laying claim to market leadership in particular in Poland, Croatia and Rumania.
UK operation
In the UK the group has a significant share in the RCV market, operating from the Farid Municipal Vehicles Ltd base at Ford in West Sussex established in 1992 .
The company supplies all three major sectors of the RCV market, from local authorities directly, to the private sector waste management contractors and the increasingly important plant and contract hire, leasing and financial area.
Farid Municipal Vehicles' Gordon Smith cites major orders for Farid as diverse geographically as Chichester and the Isle of Skye, plus another current deal in the hire sector for a leading waste services contractor.
He sees potential for future growth in new markets opening up, in areas such as recycling and composting, and in clinical waste, offering potential for the satellite vehicles. The availability of existing and new products from the extensive Farid group range also opens up potential applications, in areas such as composting, using equipment such as the Minimatic, based on a one-piece body design, which does not leak.
Farid in the UK has placed its emphasis on building its reputation, and aims for sustainable growth, aided by a 24 hour service and parts service provided by the company's own engineers and by distributors, and backed by the resources of an emerging major player on the European waste vehicles scene.

Shinagawa Yajirō (; geb. 20. November 1843 in der Provinz Nagato (heute Präfektur Yamaguchi); gest. 26. Februar 1900) war ein japanischer Politiker während der Meiji-Zeit.

Leben und Werk
Shinagawa Yajirō studierte unter Yoshida Shōin, einem der Anführer und Mitbegründer der Sonnō-jōi-Bewegung. Er brachte, zusammen mit Kido Takayoshi, die gegen das Shogunat gerichtete Satsuma-Chōshu-Allianz zustande. Mit seiner stark ausgeprägten ausländerfeindlichen Haltung beteiligte er sich 1862 am Angriff auf die Englische Gesandtschaft und nahm am Boshin-Krieg teil.

1870 wurde Shinagawa nach England und Deutschland geschickt, um Landwirtschaft zu studieren. Zurück nach sechs Jahren arbeitete er zunächst im Innenministerium, dann von 1881 im Ministerium für Landwirtschaft und Handel. Dort gründete er Organisationen zur Förderung der Landwirtschaft und der Industrie. Nach seinem Dienst 1886 als Gesandter in Deutschland war er Mitglied des Staatsrates und zwar von 1888 bis 1891 und von 1899 bis zu seinem Tode 1900.

1891 wurde er Innenminister im Kabinett Matsukata I. Seine Organisation von handgreiflichen Störung während der Wahlen im Februar 1892 führten zu 25 Todesfällen und nahezu 400 Verletzten. Es reichte aber nicht, um eine Regierungsmehrheit der Konservativen in der Nationalversammlung zu erreichen, Shinagawa musste vielmehr wegen seines Eingreifens in die Wahlen als Innenminister zurücktreten. Danach setzte sich Shinagawa, zusammen mit Saigō Tsugumichi, mit aller Energie für die Kokumin Kyōkai (国民協会) ein, eine nationalorientierte Partei, in der sich viele von Yamagatas Anhängern zusammengefunden hatten. Er selbst blieb bis an sein Lebensende in engem Kontakt mit Yamagata.

Livingstone helps Lancashire to third straight win
Liam Livingstone helps Lancashire maintain 100 per cent County Championship record against Worcestershire
By Matt Wright @MattyWright86 Barrow AFC and sports reporter
Livingstone made 69 in Lancashire's first innings
Liam Livingstone helped Lancashire win their first three County Championship fixtures in a season for the first time since 1995, as the Red Rose completed a six-wicket victory over Worcestershire yesterday.
Lancashire maintained their 100 per cent record in Division Two inside three days as they reached their target of 126, although they were left sweating when Livingstone was dismissed for a golden duck to leave them on 32-4.
However, an unbeaten 60 from from captain Dane Vilas got them over the line at Old Trafford. Livingstone had previously top-scored with 69 in Lancashire's first innings, while England international James Anderson took seven wickets in the match.

User interviews are a design research method that consists of interviewing a participant, usually in a context related to the problem space. This method allows researchers to gain a deep understanding of the participants experience, behaviours, and needs.
A user interview is a method to understand an individual's experience. It takes the form of an interview, often semi-structured, that probes the interviewee on their experience using a product or service, or completing a task Eg. What do you do when you wake up in the morning? User interviews can be used to dress open-ended generative research questions, or to gauge usability of an existing product. I enjoy user interviews as they have an intimate nature where a researcher can really get to know the interviewee, and the report between researcher and subject allows for users to be more open. They are also low barrier, and require very few resources to conduct! In this example, semi-structured interviews were used as a means to uncover user needs within the problem space of clothing consumption and use, prior to articulating the direction of the study/design.
I created a list of questions, and guided the conversation. Using a notebook and camera I had participants share personal stories about clothing, both emotional and tactical, and documented. I then synthesized the results and formulated insights based on the interviews.
10 interviewees over the course of my thesis, ranging from clothing wearers, to producers, to sustainability experts.
What does your typical wardrobe consist of?
Do you have a personal style, what is your style, what informs your style?
Do you have favourite garments?
What do you do when you want to purchase new garments?
What do you think about when you purchase an item?
What item of clothing do you spend the most money on?
What item of clothing do you throw out most frequently?
What are the most important aspects of your clothing?
What are the most frustrating aspects of your clothing?
What do you feel is missing in the clothing industry?
What is the item of clothing you want that is difficult to find?
What are the emotional and physical characteristics of that piece of clothing?
What clothing are you most attached to?

Thanks Evil Organ for your support!
@R0adki11: Yeah i was planing on trying to get a basic Arma III faction, so we would have the general combined arms load, then go from there. I think Alex and i have agreed to kinda mimic the Altis Forces Rearmed mod where @toadball slowly expanded each item that he brought out. Were going for a unique faction so if things go the way they should there will not be a single thing left that is vanilla Arma.
Thanks Nightmare515 I appreciate this!
Anyone got a txt for spawning all items in one crate?
"Waste of time" 1. anything that makes the game more authentic is defiantly not a "waste of time" 2. I want you to go in game and lean to the left around a corner. Now wouldn't it be cool if you could switch shoulders and fire from your left shoulder and you would reveal less of you when you do. I do believe that would be sick, and any person who has played airsoft or paint ball have realized the need to switch shoulders to improve their life expectancy. nothing against you but I don't think you can write that one off as a "waste of time".

Q: Priority queue for HashMaps I have a hash map of a string and a vertex which is a class.
I want to create a priority queue for an attribute distance of vertex class... How should I do it...
private final PriorityQueue Nodes ;
private HashMap<String,Vertex> c ;

I have to create a priority queue on all the members of the hashmap c according to the vertex.distance value.....
Please tell how should i do that as I always get compilation error on whatever I am trying....

A: Without knowing your implementation, I give the following answer:
Looking at the javadoc, it appears that there is a constructor which accepts a Comparator.  I suspect that what you need to do is create a comparator which corresponds to the vertex.distance value.
So, for example (this is untested code.  Treat it as pseudo code):
class VertexComparator implements Comparator<Vertex>{
  public int compare(Vertex v1, Vertex v2){
    return v1.distance - v2.distance;
  }
}

After that create the Nodes like:
PriorityQueue Nodes = new PriorityQueue(100, new VertexComparator());

A: From what I understand of your question I think you want a PriorityQueue<Vertex>, which sorts instances of the Vertex class according to the value of its distance attribute.
What you need is to either define a Comparator that you pass in to the PriorityQueue which specifies how the objects are ordered, or you could make your Vertex class implement Comparable<Vertex> and implement its compareTo method.

Is Amazon's replenishment feature on the button?
Amir Pelleg was a beta tester for the Amazon Dash Button. Good thing, too; otherwise, his two young children might have been pushing the one for their favorite granola bar much more often than necessary.
"We wanted to make sure the customer experience was right," says Pelleg, director of Amazon Dash, and that applies to "kids" of all ages. Even if the children push that button three times — whether it's for the fun of the experience or the love of the bars — only one box would arrive at the door, controlled by a notification on Pelleg's phone.
Amazon Prime members can receive two-day delivery on more than 150 brand-name items using Dash Buttons.
It's not simply hunger for North American products, either. "It's absolutely local brands, what customers want and use," he says. "We made sure those were available for them." It harkens back to the program's original intent, when the key criterion for the brands involved was that they be products people use on a regular basis and like to repurchase.
The only question about the success of the program, it seems, is where it will go next.
More than a P&L rounding error?
Ken Seiff, managing director of New York-based Beanstalk Ventures, has been following Amazon for some time.
"I don't think you can be in the retail tech space and not hold Amazon in the highest regard for its level of innovation and creativity, and their forward-thinking efforts to redefine the entire sector," he says. "They often see things way before the rest of us." As examples, Seiff points to delivery by drone, Amazon Echo and Alexa.
What puzzles him, however, is why from the seemingly infinite number of items on the Amazon site it would matter that a relatively small percentage is available via a physical button that could be affixed in the most convenient spot.
What he anticipates is that the Dash Button will extend more to the service industry, rather than just products. That's already happening.
Last fall, Amazon Web Services launched a program that allows developers to write code on the Dash back-end, enabling the button to cause anything they desire to happen. Pelleg, for example, has heard of a company that wrote code that sent a note to everyone in the office when coffee had been brewed. Another uses the button to order helicopter service.
So what about that end game? Pelleg says it's just another step on the journey to make shopping easier.
The Dash Button is another step toward the Internet of Things-enabled connected home.
One issue that comes up in discussions of Dash is price. When using the button, the customer bypasses that consideration, choosing convenience first and foremost. In addition, for a customer to even have a Dash Button means they are loyal to the brand. Will that loyalty give Amazon that much more pricing leverage?
The Dash Button was met with a healthy dose of skepticism early on, which Pelleg attributes to customers simply not understanding what they were or how they could fit into their lives. "But if you're in my shoes and see the metrics, the feedback, it's super exciting," he says.
A button is now used more than twice every minute, orders have tripled in recent months and the number of brands continues to grow at a rapid pace. For popular items such as an eight-pack of Bounty paper towels or 30-ounce canister of Maxwell House coffee, more than half of Amazon orders are now made through the Dash Button. New brand additions include Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers, Mentos, Clif Bar, Campbell's Soup and more. There may even be some surprises when considering the entire list.
While Amazon is the leader in this space, it's not alone. In April, Fung Global Retail & Technology released a report about Kwik, an open-source alternative to Amazon.
There are probably retailers that don't want to be locked into Amazon, he says, and Kwik's recent infusion of $3 million in seed funding is "intended to explore the market." Brands already working with the Israel-based startup include Domino's, Huggies (Kimberly-Clark) and Anheuser-Busch.
Even though Amazon fulfills the orders, the Dash Button makes consumers feel as though they are interacting directly with the brand. Kwik does work more directly with the brand, Harmon says, which could build a strong consumer relationship in the long run.
Fung reports that unlike the Amazon Dash Button, Kwik's IoT platform soon will be available to all brands worldwide. Brands and suppliers can easily connect their current order system to the Kwik platform by the way of application program interfaces. That means no setup cost and no change to the existing system, as well as the ability to gather real-time data on customer purchase habits.
The categories involved with the Dash Button have kept growing, too. Toys have recently been added to the list: Play-Doh, for example, is a popular re-order for daycares, so it has its own button. "It may not be right for some customers, but it's great for others," Pelleg says.
