MoJ is a complicated department made up of many different bodies which duplicate business functions such as finance. Functional leadership is a model designed to take one function and bring diverse teams together into one structure, organised around work roles, to support business areas across the MoJ.
While this bringing together initially causes disruption for staff, the streamlined, slightly smaller structure brings together staff in similar roles, allowing for greater career development across the whole function. Where Digital & Technology differs from some other areas is that it already exists as a single entity and the current restructure is an internal matter which refers to functional leadership principles in its design.
PCS has had input into how the practicalities of the current re-structure should be handled and many of our concerns have been addressed. It was therefore with some concern that PCS and FDA (the other recognised union covering DigiTech) recently began to receive complaints from members about how they were being treated. Staff reported fears of losing their jobs as a result of cuts to staffing numbers and view the future with uncertainty.
An added complication is the issue of Leidos staff moving into the London team and it is important to understand why these staff are now working in MoJ.
This year as the Leidos contract was drawing to an end MoJ decided to bring this work back in-house, transferring 24 staff to MoJ in 2018 and five more in January 2019. PCS was not part of TUPE negotiations on the transfer because LEIDOS maintained it did not recognise PCS for these staff. It was too late to address the recognition issue for staff who transferred earlier in 2018, but we are raising it with LEIDOS for staff transferring in January 2019.
We have made MoJ aware that under the TUPE transfer terms, LEIDOS staff were transferred as a functional unit and should not have been subject to a restructuring process, particularly one which changed terms and conditions protected under TUPE legislation. PCS has sought legal advice on this and a range of other transfer issues.
MoJ claims that two staff events explaining the restructure were held with LEIDOS staff prior their transfer but feedback from our members indicates they were not made aware of, or were confused about the restructuring exercise in MoJ and the potential l impacts it would have on them. The LEIDOS TUPE transfer has complicated an already complex situation and has led to friction between two groups of staff who both find themselves in situations they didn't seek to be in.
Following issues being raised by our members, a meeting was held with MoJ in late November at which senior management expressed surprise that staff (including ex-Leidos staff) were unhappy with how the restructure was handled. MoJ explained that, while the new structure would lead to a small reduction in roles, the cuts were aimed at reducing contractors and would lead to an increase in the number of permanent roles for civil servants.
MoJ reported that 78% of staff have either been "mapped and matched" or "lifted and shifted" into similar roles. The remaining 22% have not yet received a role in the new structure but this should not be taken as an indication that they will not have a role. MoJ is concerned that staff have not been applying for available roles, with 44 campaigns still open for 138 roles. We understand there are 103 staff who are yet to secure a role and are being supported by local management to find one. A quarter of these report waiting for an opportunity to apply for promotion.
A restructure which has generated new permanent roles and is supporting staff into new jobs is a very different proposition from the one described by members frightened for their futures. The employer interprets this fear in one of two ways: either that staff are unclear about what is happening and communications to staff need to be improved, or things are happening at some locations which are not in line with the approach taken by senior management. MoJ is keen to identify the specific issues and work with the two unions to address them. A second meeting has been set up with the employer on Thursday 13 December to discuss any concerns in detail. For this meeting to be productive we need information from our affected members.
Please ensure that you respond by close of Tuesday 11 December, so that your concerns can be raised at the Thursday 13 December meeting.

MS-13 Leader Convicted Of Racketeering In San Francisco
November 30, 2011 July 12, 2022 Jim Kouri 0 Comments
By Jim Kouri
A federal jury on Tuesday convicted Danilo Velasquez, aka "Triste," a local leader of La Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, in federal court in San Francisco of racketeering conspiracy and related charges, according to a report obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police's Organized Crime Committee.
Velasquez's co-defendant and fellow MS-13 member, Luis Herrera, aka "Killer," pleaded guilty to related charges, including the shooting and murder of an innocent college student.
After a four-week trial, the federal jury convicted Velasquez of all charges, including conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise, conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, and using and discharging a firearm in connection with a crime of violence.
The evidence presented during trial revealed that the defendants were part of the violent, transnational gang known as MS-13, which claimed part of the Mission District of San Francisco as its territory and operated in the Bay Area since the 1990s.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates that there are well over 50,000 members of MS-13 nationwide with the majority of members residing in the U.S. illegally. Originally a gang comprised exclusively of El Salvadorian nationals, Latinos from other countries are now allowed membership.
Since its inception, MS-13 members have warred with rival gang members and sought to extort payments from other criminals in the gang's territory. After the federal government indicted a large number of local MS-13 members on October 22, 2008, Velasquez assumed leadership on the streets and encouraged the remaining members of the gang to engage in violence in order to demonstrate their continued presence in San Francisco despite its loss in numbers due to the federal indictment.
"In a hail of gunfire, Mr. Velasquez and his co-conspirators killed and wounded four unarmed individuals – all in the name of MS-13," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer. "Senseless acts of violence like those committed by Mr. Velasquez and his fellow gang members are too common across the United States. Through sustained enforcement, we have taken leaders of MS-13 in San Francisco and elsewhere off the streets, and we will continue our efforts to make all our communities safe from violent gangs."
The evidence presented at trial also showed how the defendants, with others, conspired to commit a variety of crimes to further the goals of the gang, including attacking and killing rival gang members and others who defied or challenged MS-13 , including four murders that occurred in 2008.
The prosecution also presented evidence of three separate shootings committed by Herrera, Velasquez and other MS-13 gang members that took place within just two months, after the October 2008 indictment. One of the shootings resulted in the death of Moises Frias, a college student, in February 2009.
Evidence at trial established that on February 19, 2009, Velasquez and Herrera, accompanied by MS-13 member Jaime Balam, a fugitive, went out looking to kill rival gang members in the San Francisco Bay area. Herrera drove Velasquez and Balam in a stolen vehicle, and Velasquez and Balam both carried semi-automatic guns. The evidence at trial showed that in the Excelsior District of San Francisco, Herrera and Velasquez spotted a car of young Latino professionals, including three college students, a student and a business professional. None of the individuals were gang members themselves.
Witnesses testified that Herrera, Velasquez and Balam followed the victims' car into Daly City, boxed the car in at a red light, whereby Velasquez and Balam flanked the victims' car carrying semi-automatic handguns. Velasquez then fired multiple shots at close range at three of the passengers, who survived largely because Velasquez's semi-automatic gun jammed multiple times.
Balam allegedly fired his weapon at the remaining passenger until he ran out of bullets. The victim suffered nine gunshot wounds, including to the head, and was killed. The survivors of the shooting testified at trial that the victim begged for the shooting to stop immediately before he died.
A few days before the shooting, Velasquez and Herrera shot and wounded two individuals in rival gang territory on February 13, 2009. After the February 19, 2009, murder, the evidence showed Velasquez ordered another shooting in which Herrera took part, resulting in the wounding of several victims in rival territory on March 2, 2009. The victims of all the two non-fatal shootings who testified during the trial stated that they were not gang members, but were approached by individuals who exclaimed "La Mara" before shooting them.
Herrera pleaded guilty to seven racketeering related counts, including use of a firearm causing the death of Frias. As part of his plea, Herrera admitted that he was part of the MS-13 hunting party that followed the victims' car on Februrary 19, 2009, and murdered Frias. The evidence presented at trial before Herrera pleaded guilty showed that he was a member of MS-13 for only two to three months before being arrested.
He became a member after his brother, Guillermo Herrera, aka "Sparky," another MS-13 member, was indicted. Guillermo Herrera was recently convicted of all charges, including murder in aid of racketeering, after a five-month trial that included six other co-defendants. He faces a mandatory life sentence and will be sentenced on December 7, 2011. As part of his guilty plea, Luis Herrera will receive a 35-year prison sentence when he is sentenced on January 24, 2012.
Velasquez faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, with a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years. Sentencing for Velasquez is scheduled for February 14, 2012, before U.S. District Court Judge William H. Alsup.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed Bashir Machina as the authentic All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District, sealing the fate of Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, to contest for the 2023 election in the state.
Aside from that, the court directed the APC to pay the sum of N1 million to the 1st respondent, Bashir Sheriff, to cover the cost incurred to secure his mandate cost.
After turning down his request, the court aligned itself with the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Damaturu, which held that Lawan was not the APC candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District in next year's election into the National Assembly.
The court had submitted that Lawan did not participate in the legally recognised primary election of the APC to select its candidate in the election held in May 2022.
Delivering judgment on the appeal filed before it by the senate President, a three-member panel of the appellate court led by justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, held that the primary election conducted by the party on 9th June is invalid as it was in breach of the constitution.
The law is settled as to the involvement of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in party primaries, which is to monitor, the primaries of 9th June were not monitored by the electoral commission.
The APC made a case at the appellant court for itself and its preferred candidate, Ahmed Lawan, but failed to make him a co-appellant.
Lawan appeared in the case as the 2nd respondent indicating that he and the APC were working at cross purposes while trying to achieve a goal.

The Galapagos islands are a top bucket list destination for many travelers. The 19 islands are located 563mi (906km) off the coast of Ecuador, accessible by direct flight from Quito or Guayaquil, and are now a UNESCO protected site.
Made famous as the destination that inspired Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, the islands are home to unique plant and animal life, evolved in complete isolation from the rest of South America. With continuing seismic activity, the story of the Galapagos is not over – the islands are still physically changing, as are their plant and animal residents.
Some of the most famous inhabitants include the Galapagos giant tortoise, marine iguanas, giant cacti, endemic trees, the blue-footed booby and several species of finch, all of which you can witness on a once-in-a-lifetime Galapagos tour.
For land-lubbers, we offer the best Galapagos hotels and eco-resorts, located on two of the inhabited islands – Santa Cruz and Isabela. From there you'll enjoy day trips to various visitor sites, getting up close with the uniquely evolved creatures of the archipelago. The Galapagos hotels, carefully hand-selected by Good Life Expeditions also offer tranquil retreats to relax in, both within the hotel premises and on the nearby beaches.

Navigating overnight, you'll arrive at a new destination each day, maximizing the islands and sites you can visit. Our recommended cruises all offer small group sizes and excellent national park guides. Excursions include climbing up volcanic craters, snorkeling with marine iguanas and kayaking alongside playful sea lions.

Q: How can I call post id and button id together in ajax function? It has been 2 days when I asked this question but still didn't get any helpful answer, Here I am trying to give a unique id to the button by adding post id in the button id, I don't understand how can i call this button id in ajax function. The way i am trying to do is wrong,So when i click on button that returns nothing.
{% csrf_token %}
     {% for post in object_list.all %}

        <button class="btn btn-secondary btn-flat btn-flat-icon" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">

        </button>

         Hide post
         Stop following
         Report

{{post.username}}

  {{post.comments.count}}

     {% endfor %}

jquery/ajax:

If more code is require than tell me in a comment session ,i will update my question with that information.

A: Since you are using the same id multiple times you are going have errors... what you can do is to simply use a class instead or ensure that you use a unqiue id in each iteration

Just because you're heading overseas does not mean you need to give up on your trademark style. Here is a short guide to make you travel in style at any location, whether you are overseas or in your country. Follow these tips to finding funky fashion around the world.
While you might not even dream of buying clothes at your local home market – when you're overseas they are the best place to find quirky, unique clothing – particularly if you're on a shoestring budget.
Not only will you find a huge range of clothing, but it's unlikely you'll find it anywhere else in the world. If you're lucky, you'll find a market which is popular with local designers as they often sell off their samples and one-off designs for a fraction of the cost of something in-store.
Before you head overseas make sure you use the internet as your most useful research tool. Online forums are a great place to find out about the best shopping spots in your chosen destination. If you can't find a forum specifically about your requirements then start one! It won't take long before you get replies from fellow fashionistas – both locals and previous visitors to the city – that will give you a good head start on your quest for unique clothing.
Depending on where you're travelling to, you may also find websites that are specifically dedicated to giving people advice on shopping spots. Spend an hour or so Google-searching and you're sure to come up with something – just remember to write it all down before you leave.
No one knows where to find the best clothes stores than the locals themselves. While in many places you may be restricted by the language barrier, you can usually find someone who can help you.
Ask at your hotel or backpackers for advice on where the shopping hotspots are or even strike up a fashion friendship over a drink at the local bar – whatever it takes!
Fashion magazines are always helpful for keeping you on trend when you're at home – so don't neglect them when you're overseas. You may not be able to read the articles if they're in a foreign language, but you can still look at the clothing photos and get a general gist of where to find them.
While the clothing in fashion magazines may not be unique in the place you are visiting – they certainly will be when you get back home – which is what matters!
You're not going to find unique, affordable clothing on the main shopping strips of any city – that would be way too easy. You need to be a little adventurous and step off of the main track to find the ultimate in unique fashion.
Every city has its backstreets where you'll find quirky local designers as well as secondhand and vintage stores. The best way to find them is to simply put on your best shopping shoes and start walking.

Smartly timed snacks can give the body the fuel it needs to build muscle, burn fat, and recover as best it can. If you prefer to eat before exercising, or if your workout will last longer than an hour, Seebohar suggests grabbing a snack about 45 to 60 minutes in advance and keeping it small (think a palmful of carbs, a half palmful of protein, and a quarter palmful of fat). Find what works for you by trying one of these 25 options.
If you're gluten-free or just not big on toast, this is a great way to get your nut-butter snack in while adding healthy carbs to power you through. Plus, rice cakes don't go stale as quickly as bread, so you can always keep a pack on hand.
By mashing up an egg and a banana, and topping them with apples, almond butter, and coconut, you'll get a grain-free oatmeal of sorts. This is a great one to make the night before and eat in a travel cup on your way to your favorite morning cardio class.
A parfait sounds fancy, but it'll only take you three minutes to throw together this combo of 2 percent or full-fat yogurt, granola, and berries. Pro tip: You can make this in a disposable cup and eat it with a plastic spoon on the way to your morning workout.
We love smoothies, but first—coffee. This recipe combines both. It's perfect for an early-morning workout since the hit of caffeine will perk you up before you hit the gym.
Oats are a classic morning staple, but if you don't want to clean up a pot before rushing to the gym in the morning, try this one as an afternoon snack. The recipe serves two, but we suggest dividing it into three portions and refrigerating the remaining two for smaller snack-size servings.
It doesn't get much easier than blueberries, bananas, yogurt, almond milk, and ice. Just be sure to swap out the suggested nonfat yogurt for a partial- or full-fat version— it'll give you more fuel to crush your workout.
The classic apple-and-peanut-butter combo gets an upgrade from raisins and chia seeds. If you're in a rush, skip the extras and just grab an apple with PB. Try stashing some to-go packs of peanut butter or almond butter in your gym bag so you can chow down on your way to indoor cycling class.
Protein shakes can taste chalky boring, but when there's coffee and chocolate involved, we're big fans. This blogger suggests adding an extra tablespoon of sugar, but we'd suggest skipping it for an even healthier (and easier!) recipe.
Cottage cheese gives this parfait a light and creamy texture and adds a little extra fat, which will keep you feeling satisfied longer. It's the perfect use-what-you-already-have-in-your-fridge kind of snacks.
Make these DIY no-bake peanut butter balls ahead of time, and you'll have some healthy treats ready to fuel a week's worth of sweat sessions. Seem like too much effort? Grab a box of your favorite bars (we love CLIF Bar's new nut butter-filled ones), cut in thirds, and then roll into balls for smaller bites.
Avo toast never fails. When you have a heartier appetite, try this pre-workout version and add a hard-boiled (or fried) egg on top for added protein. There are a lot of ways to get fancy here, but we're big fans of this classic combo before a morning run. It's the perfect use-what-you-already-have-in-your-fridge kind of snacks.
If you have time on your hands, mix up these DIY energy bars and stash the extras for later. All you'll need for this no-bake recipe are a food processor and a few ingredients. Short on time? Stock up on some store-bought bars with high-quality ingredients and a 1:1 or 2:1 carbohydrate-to-protein ratio (in other words, look for 10 grams of carbs and 10 or 20 grams of protein), Seebohar says.
A wrap may sound like a meal, but this mini version is the perfect size for a pre-workout bite. The gluten-free "wrap" is actually just turkey wrapped around some avocado with shredded carrot for added crunch. It's the perfect use-what-you-already-have-in-your-fridge kind of snacks.


Baskin-Robbins introduced a Halloween-themed Polar Pizza, and we can't wait to try it!
Two of our ultimate favorite things in life have combined at Baskin-Robbins: pizza and ice cream. While the famous chain has had the Polar Pizza for some time now, they've created a pie that's a bit more Halloween-themed. And that's incredibly exciting. While typical Polar Pizzas come in chocolate chip cookie dough or peanut butter and chocolate, the Halloween Polar Pizza is inspired by the best part of the holiday — candy.
"This limited time polar pizza is the perfect treat for any spooky night!," the Baskin-Robbins site exclaims.
Now, candy corn is often a debated October snack. But in this form, surrounded by mini-M&Ms and engulfed in Snickers-flavored ice cream, they're definitely a win. Without a doubt.
While Baskin-Robbins hasn't totally been advertising this wonder of wonders yet, they're definitely backing the idea of Polar Pizzas. As they should — since it's genius.
Of course, you can pick up a Polar Pizza for any occasion. Birthday? Perfect. Christmas? Of course. Your beloved dog's "Gotcha Day"? Ideal. (Just don't let him have any of it. Chocolate and puppies don't mix.) The fact that Baskin-Robbins lets you create your own just makes us hungry with possibilities.
Next time someone asks you what your favorite pizza topping is, don't tell them it's pepperoni — tell them it's chocolate and candy corn.

This strawberry pretzel salad is always a hit at parties. It's a jello dessert that is loved by adults and kids. Sweet, salty, tart and crazy good! Plus it has a full pound of strawberries! A must try!
Q: Can I substitute Cool Whip?
I have tested this recipe with whipped cream (by beating 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff and fluffy) and although this substitution tastes good, it softens the pretzel crust a bit so the crust isn't as crisp (it's better on day 2 when using cool whip). Also, if using whipped cream, you may wish to add 2/3 cup sugar to the cream cheese to reach the same sweetness.
Full disclosure, because it's the law ;). Amazon links above are affiliate links. Thanks for supporting my channel.
thank you SO much for this recipe!!!! I made it once for my family and my coworkers and now I don't hear the end of, "When are you making it again?".
I have to say though that after I crushed up the 2 cups of pretzels, I added another 2 cups cause it seemed like I had too many bare spots. worked out just fine!
This recipe is so yummy!
Thank you my family will love this!
So you skip the 2 cups of cold water for the jello?
This is one of my favorite dessert dish, we always have this dessert for the holiday. So delicious! Thanks for sharing.
You have some of the best desserts!
made this for a bunch of combat veterans at my husbands job…they LOVED it! making it again today for 4th of july. would be awesome if i could have dyed the pretzels blu to make it red, white, and blue!
I've been searching this recipe for the longest time ever….
Yummy is Right! I made this same recipe cutting the calories, so I used 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese, Sugar Free Jell-O, Stevia for sugar, and Lite Cool Whip. I followed step by step instructions and the dish is…………..Absolutely Amazing! It's Full of Flavor in every Bite!
I have used your recipe to make this several times. It's amazing and there's never a drop left! Thanks!
Great recipes!!!!! My kids and I enjoyed watching your recipes videos.
I like your doing well done nice easy your recipe clean step by step thank you.
So since you made the jello at the beginning, it didn't set up too much while you chilled the cream cheese layer for 30 mins?
I tried this, but the jello went all the way down to the pretzel. Could you tell why?
Hi natasha! Did u create this recipe on ur own or u saw it somewhere?

What Site Selectors Are Saying: The Growing Role of Diversity on Location Decisions
A recent EDCUtah site selector survey indicates that diversity is the #1 social issue affecting expansion and relocation decisions. In November some of the top site selectors in the country shared their insight and thoughts on how diversity is beginning to play an even more significant role incorporate location decisions. EDCUtah's business development staff compiled the following summary of a Site Selectors Guild webcast to share with our investors, and added some commentary, in hopes that it can inform how you engage in projects.
The main theme running throughout the discussion on diversity's role is that both companies and site selectors care about diversity and recognize its importance in achieving long-term growth. There is a general consensus among companies that being diverse and inclusive within their organization is not only the right thing to do, it also provides them with a competitive advantage. Sound diversity practices allow companies to compete for and retain the best talent, spur intra company innovation and creativity, and create a better product in the marketplace. A growing number of companies are setting internal diversity and inclusion targets.
The idea of diversity is nothing new, but our Site Selectors report that it is rapidly expanding to encompass more areas of the corporate world. One of the site selectors provided their thoughts on possible indicators to gauge a location's ability to support diversity initiatives. They noted that it is important to look not only at the state level data on diversity but at the specific city and area being considered. The list of possible indicators is as follows:
> Overall diversity
> Minority populations
> All of the above by educational attainment (degree/certificate level)
> All of the above by area studies
> All of the above by occupation
> Measures of existing equity
> Capacity to translate opportunity into outcomes
Another site selector shared their experience with how diversity is now being used as a location factor and how it is impacting office projects. They pointed out that while communities cannot change their diversity quotient overnight, they can share what they are doing to improve it over time and set goals for what they would like to see their community look like in the future. They also noted that while some communities are prepared to answer questions about this, others are not. Finally, every site visit orchestrated by this site selector includes some questions about diversity, as well as about the attitude of the community toward diversity, to make sure the company and community's cultures are aligned.
Another of the site selectors shared what they have seen in terms of how diversity is impacting manufacturing projects. The site selector revealed that manufacturing companies are also taking diversity into consideration. While office projects often come with diversity targets already in mind and are typically more proactive about seeking out locations with a diverse population, manufacturing companies are beginning to think about it now too.
Manufacturing/production companies tend to draw from more diverse talent pools that make up the essential workforce. One example would be food service projects, which are often staffed more heavily by diverse populations than other projects. The site selector also pointed out that he has seen consumer goods companies discuss issues of diversity more frequently as a location factor, because it's become increasingly important to their customers. For communities looking to market their ability to support diverse talent initiatives, the site selectors offered the following suggestions:
> There is room to market yourself on various channels.
> The best way to communicate your support for diversity is through statistics. However, supplement the statistics with stories. Consultants would like to see case studies and examples on how companies are achieving new levels of diversity in that community.
The consensus around the importance of diversity, both for a company's competitiveness, but also as a location factor is clear. Questions? Please reach out to our Business Development team at https://www.edcutah.org/about-us/about-us-main

Palkia (Japans: パルキア Palkia) is een legendarische Pokémon die voor het eerst voorkwam in Pokémon Pearl-versie. Deze Pokémon maakt deel uit van de vierde generatie Pokémon. Palkia staat niet zoals Dialga voor tijd, maar voor ruimte. Palkia heeft net als Dialga de uitstraling van een dinosaurus. Palkia is gebaseerd op een Plateosaurus. Palkia's schouderornamenten zijn zware parels, die overeenkomen met de Pearlversie. Palkia heeft ook een paar paars-roze strepen over het lichaam lopen. Palkia heeft een soort vleugels op de rug die open kunnen. De geschiedenis van de Sinnoh-regio zegt dat Palkia gemaakt is door Arceus, toen de ruimte vorm begon te krijgen. Samen met Dialga (Tijd) en Giratina (Materie en Antimaterie) maakt Palkia deel uit van het scheppingstrio.

Palkia is te vangen in verschillende games. Waaronder: Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, Soulsilver Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire en Ultra Moon.Palkia is in Pearl op dezelfde manier als Dialga te vangen in Diamond. Palkia wordt opgeroepen door de leider van Team Galactic, Cyrus, die hoopt dat Palkia voor hem een nieuw universum zal maken op de Spear Pillar bovenop Mt. Coronet. Palkia wordt tegengehouden door Uxie, Mesprit en Azelf, wiens krachten afnemen. Hierdoor kan de speler Palkia verslaan of vangen. Palkia's hoofdaanval heet Spacial Rend. Dit is een krachtige drakenaanval.

In Pokémon Platinum neemt Palkia een passievere rol aan. Palkia verschijnt eventjes op Spear Pillar wanneer Cyrus Palkia en Dialga beide oproept om de wereld opnieuw te scheppen in zijn beeld. Palkia kan later worden gevangen op Spear Pillar als de Lustrous Orb gevonden is door de speler diep in Mt. Coronet.

Doordat Palkia een Water/Draak-soort is, is Palkia zwak tegenover dragontype-aanvallen en fairytype-aanvallen. Palkia is echter wel sterk tegenover fire-, water- en steeltype-pokemon.

Palkia zit samen met Dialga en Darkrai in de tiende Pokémonfilm: The Rise of Darkrai.

Q: Passing a NSInteger to a size_t and a NSInteger* to a size_t* My C++ knowledge stinks. I have a code provided by Apple where they, as usually, provided an incomplete solution.
On this code they provide two empty methods headers:
- (NSString *)encodeBase64:(const uint8_t *)input length:(NSInteger)length
- (NSString *)decodeBase64:(NSString *)input length:(NSInteger *)length

These methods, in theory, should call two C++ style functions, but as my C++ knowledge stinks infinity squared plus one, please fill the ???
- (NSString *)encodeBase64:(const uint8_t *)input length:(NSInteger)length
{
   // I need to call base64_encode and return its results as string... is this correct?

   return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:
       base64_encode(input, ???)];
    // ??? I need to pass a NSInteger to a size_t... how do I do that?
}

- (NSString *)decodeBase64:(NSString *)input length:(NSInteger *)length
{

// ??? = this method receives a NSInteger *length variable. How do I pass that
// to a size_t * variable required by base64_decode?

    NSString *st = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:
                    base64_decode([input UTF8String], ???)
                                            length:&length
                                          encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    return st;
}

these 2 methods call these C++ functions
char* base64_encode(const void* buf, size_t size)
{
   // bla bla bla
}

void* base64_decode(const char* s, size_t* data_len_ptr)
{
    // bla bla bla
}

thanks.

A: Assuming NSInteger is some integral type, and assuming ln is a variable (or argument) of that type you can cast it to size_t by coding (size_t)ln or (C++ only) size_t(ln) or static_cast<size_t>(ln)
For a pointer p to [an array of] NSInteger-s, casting NSInteger* to size_t* might not make sense (or at least give strange effects) if they don't have the same size (as given by sizeof). If you still want that consider coding reinterpret_cast<size_t*>(p) but try static_cast<size_t*>(p) at first.
Please understand what all this is doing, you could have bad surprises or undefined behavior (e.g. when going from 32 bits to 64 bits processors, or from big-endian to little-endian ones).

A: First, if you want to do base64 encode/decode you will find it easier to start with a properly worked out example for how to do so. Matt Gallagher gives easy recipes for doing this in Base64 encoding options on the Mac and iPhone.
If you really want to flesh out your example, keep in mind that NSInteger is a long and size_t is an unsigned long. You could replace the lines in question with the following:
- (NSString *)encodeBase64:(const uint8_t *)input length:(NSInteger)length
{
    return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:base64_encode(input, (size_t)length)];
}

- (NSString *)decodeBase64:(NSString *)input length:(NSInteger *)length
{
    size_t retLen;
    uint8_t *retStr = base64_decode([input UTF8String], &retLen);
    if (length)
        *length = (NSInteger)retLen;
    NSString *st = [[[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:retStr
                                        length:retLen
                                      encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
    free(retStr);    // If base64_decode returns dynamically allocated memory
    return st;
}

(Remove the autorelease if you are compiling under ARC.)
Note that an arbitrary sequence of bytes is not guaranteed to be a valid UTF-8 string. This API allows you to send in arbitrary bytes but assumes it will decode to a valid UTF-8 string, which is not necessarily true.

With the announcement of the revamp and release of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in a few months I thought I would take a journey down Pokemon memory lane. Click here to view the full list of Pokemon by number on Bulbapedia. As in all things, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have a special love for all the original Pokemon and actually don't have a single Pokemon listed from Gen 2 and only one from Gen 3.
Charmander is my favorite Pokemon. Period. He may not be the cutest Pokemon but I have the strongest emotional connection to him. His episode in the first anime really solidified that for me. I have to say that selecting my Pokemon in the first game is probably the most magical video game moment in my childhood. Naturally, I picked Charmander and I love his evolution to Charzard. I love fire types and even still gravitate towards them.
No list of cute Pokemon would be complete without Eevee and it's evolutions. This is by FAR the cutest Pokemon. Ever. Sylveon is my current favorite but I really love Flareon and Jolteon.
Vulpix has a similar look to Flareon. In fact it almost looks like a pre-evolution for Flareon. Check out this google search of Growlithe and Vulpix. I can't handle the cuteness!
Skidoo is my favorite from X/Y. Clearly it's precious and I LOVE that it has the emerald green accent. I really like Skidoo's evolution too!
Lillipup is on this list for obvious reasons. A puppy Pokemon. It really can't get more adorable than that. However, it is a shame that it evolves into really one of the least esthetically pleasing Pokemon. I mean, Herdier just looks so grumpy and not in an awesome/cool sort of way.
Fennekin was my selection in Pokemon X/Y. If you can't tell I tend to love Pokemon that look like puppies. Fennekin's evolution is pretty bizarre though. I try not to look up evolutions during game play so I was very surprised by the direction it took.
Although I love aquatic creatures in regular life I usually avoid them in Pokemon. I probably just don't find their moves as interesting as fire type Pokemon. With that being said, Lapras is stunning. Gyarados is also a really striking Pokemon.
I wasn't sure about having Diancie on my list or not but ultimately wanted to include this Pokemon because it is by far the cutest of the type. I also really like how unique the design is and the incorporation of the gemstones is really clever.
Zigzagoon is so non-typically cute. I love the spikes and the black accent on the eyes. Not a fan of the evolution again, but it could have been worse.
I hope you enjoyed my list and would love to hear which Pokemon you love. Let me know in the comments section below.
So many newbies… all adorable. But I still can't forget 4th grade when I treasured my Ponyta, Jigglypuff and Horsea simply because they were the cutest of them all.
And Growlithe is pretty cute!
^^^This is the really important comment that I needed to make.
Honestly it didn't even occur to me to add Pikachu. I wouldn't categorize Pikachu into the makes-me-wanna-squel-it's-so-cute category though. Like Charmander, more of an emotional connection from the anime. I love little Pika though!


Pasteurization , a process discovered by Louis Pasteur (while trying to inactivate spoilage organisms in beer and wine), occurs when a product is heated to a specific temperature for a specified length of time. This process is now applied to a wide array of food products, such as milk, fruit juice, cheese, and water. Milk is heated to 145°F (63°C) for thirty minutes (or to 160°F [71°C] for fifteen seconds) and then rapidly cooled to 50°F (10°C) for storage. In developing countries, heating water to 149°F (65°C) for six minutes will kill enough contaminates to make the water safe to drink. Pasteurization protects consumers from harmful pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Coxiella Burnetii in milk, and pasteurized products benefit from longer shelf life.
