The Washington-Ireland Program for Service and Leadership (WIP) is a six-month program of personal and professional development that brings  university students from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to Washington, DC for summer internships and leadership training. The program begins and ends with practical service (usually some form of voluntary work in the NGO or political sectors) in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It was originally called The Young Leaders Program.

In Washington, participants get first-hand experience with U.S. government and politics and an immersion in American culture by living with an area host family. Through an eight-week schedule, participants are encouraged to work and learn as a team and to create an environment of mutual respect. The program aims to send students home with enhanced professional and interpersonal skills and a new confidence in their own leadership abilities which they are expected to demonstrate through service to their own communities. Among the 2007 Internship opportunities were placements in the Senate offices of then Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was a member of the Class of 2000.

About the Program
Since its inception in 1995, the program has expanded from four to eight weeks, allowing time for both leadership training and work experience. Students are placed in offices across the Washington metropolitan region representing federal and local government, businesses, non-profit organizations, professional services firms and media organizations. Placements have included The White House, Congressional offices, The Northern Ireland Bureau, The World Bank, Habitat for Humanity, AFL-CIO, CNN and CBS, Library of Congress, Environmental Protection Agency, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, The Justice Project, Imagination Stage and Solas Nua, among many others.

Participants develop practical leadership abilities by committing to 30 hours of service in their own communities before the summer and 40 hours in a Group Service Project when they return. Students also help launch and run the following year's program by assisting with marketing, recruiting, selecting and mentoring the succeeding WIP class.

Successful candidates must be Irish-born, or Irish or British (NI) citizens with current passports. They must be full-time students in Ireland or the United Kingdom, between the ages of 18 and 25, and passing their subjects at a better than passing grade.  Moreover, they must be willing to demonstrate leadership through service before and after the program, and be ready to participate in diverse leadership teams. Program applicants have represented more than 30 different universities in Northern Ireland, Ireland, England and Scotland.

To date, 300 young adults have graduated from the program. Many WIP graduates have moved into important careers in politics, business, media and education. These include: a research officer to the NI First Minister in Westminster; television and radio news journalists; reporters for major newspapers in Belfast and London; barristers and solicitors; university professors and primary school teachers; consultants with Accenture and PriceWaterhouseCoopers; Dublin PR firm managers; assistant to Members of the NI Assembly and the Irish Parliament; political party operatives in Northern Ireland and the Republic; and Executive Officer for the Home Office in London. Among the notable alumni is Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.

Initially begun in partnership with the Students' Union at Queen's University, Belfast, WIP has received support from the Irish Government through its Department of Education and the International Fund for Ireland as well as the UK government and the US State Department. The program is now actively developing partnerships with other government departments, universities, businesses, foundations and individuals that will support its core program and help expand alumni programs.

The Washington-Ireland Program is an extension of Project Children, a program that sponsors six-week summer holidays in the U.S. for young people from Northern Ireland. The participants, who stay with American Host Families, range in age from 10–14 years old and come from neighborhoods in which the Protestant-Catholic conflict has taken an especially heavy toll. For most children, these visits provide a first-time opportunity to get to know people from the other side of the sectarian divide. In its 27-year existence, Project Children has had 17,000 participants. Project Children also works with vocational trainees from Northern Ireland and the Republic who get on-site work experience in the U.S. by building homes with Habitat for Humanity.

In 2001, alumni members of the Washington-Ireland Programme established a charity known as the Youth Empowerment Scheme, a mentoring programme for children aged 11–14 years old from across Belfast. The aim of YES is to promote social inclusion of children from different ethnic, religious, educational and socio-economic backgrounds.

Notable alumni

A road called 'gene drive' and the road to 'gene drive': Trials and tribulations of media analysis
As people might know, I enjoy doing media analysis of emerging biotechnologies, from cloning to gene editing and beyond.
I have lately become fascinated with something called 'gene drive', a new genetic engineering technology that was brought to public attention around 2014/2015 at the confluence of two 'events': the outbreak of Zika and advances in CRISPR-Cas9 as a new tool to 'edit' genomes more or less at will (declared breakthrough of the year in 2015).
Zika is an emerging infectious disease caused by the Zika virus. Like malaria or dengue fever, it is transmitted by mosquitoes. The Zika outbreak around 2015 made people think more intensively about how to deal with the spread of such diseases and about finding new ways of dealing with the spreaders, namely the mosquitoes.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a new genome editing tool that makes it easier for scientists to modify genomes, of, for example, mosquitoes, in such a way that the change spreads exceedingly quickly through a population bypassing normal laws of inheritance. With the help of this new technology called 'gene drive', whole populations of mosquitoes can thus, in theory, be changed, eliminated, replaced and so on. This has so far not been tried anywhere in the wild and is, as you can imagine, rather controversial. The use of gene drive using genome editing for insect/disease control was put on the map in 2014 by Kevin Esvelt and others and has attracted some media attention ever since.
How is this controversy reported in the media, we wondered? By 'we' I mean Sarah Hartley, PI on a Wellcome Trust funded 'Talking about gene drive' project, Aleksandra Stelmach, research fellow on the project, and I, co-applicant.
Easy-peasy I thought. Put the phrase "gene drive" into Nexis, my favourite news database, and see what happens, i.e. see how it spreads, possibly exponentially, through the main English speaking news outlets. So we did. What happened was chaos.
Dead ends, new pathways and resurfaced roads
There were two problems. There is somewhere in the United States a road called "gene drive". That's the first problem. The second problem was that despite using quotation marks in order to search for the exact phrase 'gene drive', the machine picked out instances of, for example, 'the cart that Gene drives' or 'genes drive the development of x' and so on. Yet another problem was that Nexis was, unbeknown to us, in a process of transformation and quite a few things, like downloading, didn't work.
In the end, we used another search engine, one I am not so familiar with, namely Factiva. We found it quite useful, as it also provides access to graphs and keywords etc. We searched for 'gene drive' in four regions: US, UK, Australia and Uganda. There were still some problems, but we got some interesting corpora and data.
Just when we had started to analyse these, Nexis changed. It became usable again (but the exact phrase search thing still doesn't really work). It even has little graphs now and key word analyses.
As I have access to Nexis but not Factiva (only Aleksandra has access to Factiva in Exeter), I did a bit of searching once Nexis worked again – I couldn't resist. I got some interesting results, once I had discarded the still lurking roads called 'gene drive' and some other anomalies.
The road to 'gene drive'
For this little post I just wanted to know how and when conversations about gene drive started to emerge (but as I said above they only really got going around 2015). What I found confirmed what I had already dug out in my first blog post on gene drive. The first English language news article using the phrase 'gene drive' was published in 2007. The second in 2009. The topic exploded after 2015 (but not as much other topics, such as epigenetics and the microbiome, for example). I still haven't met anybody out in the real world who knew what I was talking about when I mention 'gene drive'….
The 2007 article refers to research carried out into this issue about 20 years earlier, that is, around 1996/97. As the phrase 'gene drive' wasn't used before 2007 in English news, I searched for the larger category of 'genetically modified mosquitoes' (or GMM) and found an article from 1996.
I'll now say a little bit about these early articles. First the 1996 one (i.e. the first one on GMM), then the 2007 and then the 2009 ones (i.e. the first two on gene drive proper). In between there were of course many others relating to various forms of GMM, including gene drive before the name started to be used. And it should be stressed that research into what one might call population GM was carried out in the sixties by Chris Curtis and George Craig, for example.
The 1996 article, published on 15 June 1996 in The San Diego Union-Tribune, reports on research carried out at the University of California San Diego by Jane Burns and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). She talks about how one could in "a specific and controlled way… be genetically altering the mosquitoes so they can't transmit diseases". Her work dealt with Anopheles gambiae, which are mosquitoes that transmit malaria. They are also one the test organisms of choice used nowadays by gene drive researchers at Imperial College.
Burns compares what she does to 'vaccinating' the mosquitoes instead of vaccinating the people, a framing that is still being used today, for example by Austin Burt at Imperial College. In practice this means the GMM would have a trait conveyed by a "transferred gene" that "can be passed from generation to generation".
How is this done? "Burns has succeeded in engineering the mosquito cells because she designed a virus that can penetrate the cells and deliver genes". You have to read the whole article to understand exactly what's going on! The title of the PNAS paper is: "Pantropic retroviral vectors integrate and express in cells of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae". She basically succeeded in doing something that nowadays can be achieved more quickly by genome editing using CRISPR-Cas9 I think…
The 2007 article, also based on a paper published in PNAS – the first using the phrase 'gene drive' in our corpus – appeared on 25 July in US States News and is in fact a press release by Virginia Tech and the University of California Irvine. It starts by saying: "A decade ago, scientists announced the ability to introduce foreign genes into the mosquito genome. A year ago, scientists announced the successful use of an artificial gene that prevented a virus from replicating within mosquitoes" (that 2006 paper also appeared in PNAS – it focused on genetically modifying Aedes aegypti which transmit dengue fever).
The 2007 paper, also focusing on Aedes aegypti, "demonstrated the ability to express a foreign gene exclusively in the female mosquito germline". The main player here was Zach Adelman. The gene drive system they developed used "the nanos (nos) gene, which is essential for germline formation".
To explain how their 'gene drive system' works, Adelman used a metaphor, namely that of key. "'Think of the nanos instructions as a key to a room,' Adelman said." Unfortunately, we don't hear much more about that key! The metaphor is not elaborated and the rest of the press release is pretty impenetrable to lay people!
The 2009 article, which appeared on 30 May 2009 in New Scientist, is quite long, well written, draws the reader in and focuses mainly on the use of Wolbachia in an Australian experiment. At the very end, the reporter Rachel Nowak also talks about various kinds of 'gene drive', but only briefly.
Back to a dead end – and the road ahead
Reading this New Scientist article, I remembered another one published in 2003 by Oliver Morton, entitled Splat!, and reporting on work relating to what one might call a proto-gene-drive carried out by Austin Burt and Andrea Crisanti at Imperial College. I searched Nexis high and low and I could not find the article. It should be there, but it wasn't. This shows that one cannot rely on anything!
Anyway, the article describes the work of Burt and Crisanti very nicely and in much needed detail. It turns out that they developed a 'gene drive' before CRISPR-Cas9 was even on the horizon, which is interesting, as, confusingly, some people, even scientists and commentators in Nature, define gene drive by reference to CRISPR-Cas9. In the 2003 case, researchers used a different genetic trick to do what CRISPR-Cas9 now does, namely 'homing endonuclease genes'.
Morton homes in on the most important aspect of gene drives, namely the copying of a genetic change from one chromosome to the other in a cell – which was also used in this case. "In organisms that have paired chromosomes, a gene present on only one chromosome normally gets passed on to exactly half the organism's offspring. Unless, that is, the gene is an HEG [homing endonuclease genes]. An HEG on one chromosome in a cell can use that cell's repair mechanisms to get itself copied onto the chromosome's partner. If the cell in question is a cell that makes eggs or sperm, this copying means that all the eggs or sperm will contain a copy of the HEG – and so all the offspring get a copy. In this way HEGs can spread through a population very quickly indeed." That's 'gene drive'.
Homing endonuclease genes or HEGs were, some say, "the first engineered 'gene drive'", but the news, at least as recorded by Nexis, didn't pick that up. For gene drives to become newsworthy we had to wait for them to go CRISPR.
Finding a road through the semantic jungle
Gene drive research seems to have started about two decades ago (with roots that reach into the 1960s), but it will still be long time before gene drives will be deployed, if at all, according to most experts involved. GMM, by contrast, are being field-tested already.
For me, it will take an even longer time still to get my head around all the types of gene drives that I have now read about (natural and synthetic, global and local, crash drives, reversal drives and immunising drives…. there is even a lovely sounding daisy drive)! So I was quite relieved when reading through our Nexis samples and found Burt saying in 2018: "there isn't even agreement on what a gene drive is"!
'Gene drive' seems to be an extremely polysemous phrase, that is to say, it has many meanings, some old, some new, some used by some people, some by others, sometimes denoting an object (a 'cassette'), sometimes a process ('mutagenic chain reaction'), and so on. This makes it very difficult for non-experts to talk about 'gene drive' in any, at least vaguely knowledgeable, way. That's at least my personal impression!
I'd appreciate any help I can get to find a road through this semantic jungle! Something like this perhaps, metaphorically entitled 'Sculpting Evolution, but catering more for the lay person.

How Car Wash Machines Work?
An advanced car wash machine comes equipped with technologically-advanced features that make car washing an easy chore and hassle-free chore. These machines work by ejecting cold water, hot water, or heated steam on the surface to be cleaned. Various types of attachments and accessories can be used to clean different parts of the car.
There are numerous benefits of using the best car washing equipment. However, to enjoy these benefits, you must invest in the right machine from top car wash equipment manufacturers. Most popular among the various types of high quality car wash equipment available on the market, automatic car wash equipment is extremely popular as it provides operators the convenience of enhanced cleaning with minimal effort.
Mobile car wash equipment is equally popular, mostly among car detailing professionals because it allows them to provide car washing services at the clients' doorsteps. If you plan to start your own car detailing business, you must invest in professional car wash equipment that can handle both interior and exterior cleaning of cars with a high degree of efficiency.
For washing car's exteriors, you need powerful car wash equipment that can get rid of the tough, stubborn dirt marks and deposits that a car's surface readily attracts. Pressure washers with pressure level less than 1500 PSI can be the best exterior car wash equipment.
Cleaning car interiors requires a different approach. For cleaning of sensitive interiors such as carpets, upholstery and other parts, specialized interior car wash machines such as portable steam cleaners are heavily recommended by industry experts. A portable car cleaner can clean more efficiently, as they can be used to reach the inaccessible areas of a car's interior for enhanced cleaning results.
How Modern Car Wash Systems Provide Greater Cleaning Convenience?
Car washing equipment can be used to clean automobiles faster and without causing any damage to the surfaces. Car steam cleaners obliterate the need to use chemicals or detergents, thus ensuring that toxic deposits are not present on the surface and in the air. As they use very less water to clean, operators don't have any messy residue to deal with. Manual mopping is also eliminated. With the best car washer equipment, cleaning is done faster as less water usage ensures faster drying times; a huge advantage for car detailing businesses.

Pinterest Rolls Out Pinterest Lens to all US Users, Adds New Options
Andrew Hutchinson Content and Social Media Manager
Last month, Pinterest unveiled their latest discovery tool called 'Pinterest Lens', which enables users to take photos of real world objects and find matches for them on Pinterest based on image recognition technology.
At the time, the new feature was only made available to a selected group of users, but Pinterest has now announced that Lens is available to all users in the US on iOS and Android.
To access Pinterest Lens, you first need to update your Pinterest app to the latest version (V6.20 for iOS and your v6.10 for Android). Once you've done that, you can access Lens by tapping on the search bar, then tapping the red camera icon in the top right of screen.
This will open up the lens camera - point it at whatever object you want to search for, wait a moment for the system to match the image, and you'll be presented with related Pin options.
You can also use images from your camera roll as the basis for your Lens search.
Pinterest notes that, as they had anticipated, initial tests have shown that most users are using Lens to identify objects relating to fashion, home décor, arts and food.
Given that food is the biggest category on Pinterest (with over 15 billion food-related Pins), the Pinterest Engineering team has been working to ensure that food searches, in particular, show recipe-related Pins and the like, more along the lines of what people are looking for, as opposed to straight, similar image matches.
"For example, if the input image is an avocado, we want to show you more than other avocados, including health benefits, recipes and how to grow them."
This is another element of the Lens process they're looking to refine over time, matching content with intent, as opposed to a basic like-for-like response.
Along this line, Pinterest is also giving users a way to contribute to the development of Lens, with an option to manually tag objects they identify.
This will help Pinterest evolve Lens faster, by essentially crowd-sourcing object identification, giving them a larger pool of tagged sample images to work from.
And adding to the search functionality of Lens, Pinterest is also giving users another way to search for related objects, with a new section within Lens which presents ideas to try out and see what matches show up.
This will highlight new objects as Pinterest adds them in, which will also give the Pinterest Engineering team another way to boost their understanding of what people are using Lens for by analyzing what matches people most commonly click on from these examples.
Lens is an interesting addition for Pinterest, and one which should get them more attention - or at the least, inspire more people to try the tool out. If users get good results, maybe links to relevant Pins that can help them save money on products by identifying similar items, the innovation could help Pinterest add to their active user count and continue their expansion as a critical eCommerce network.
And dependent on the take up, Lens could become a significant consideration for marketers too. With Lens showing up similar products, you'll likely want your offerings to show up on that list. It may be worth experimenting with how Lens works and ensuring your product shots align with the new matching process.
Image recognition tools are set to become a much bigger consideration in digital marketing, with Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook and Google all working to improve their image recognition tools and options. Pretty soon, the ability to search images will be commonplace, and the implications of that will be significant, changing the product discovery process and offering a new range of data on consumer habits and behaviors.
It's worth paying attention to how Lens develops, and the user response to these new image-recognition based tools.

Accountability | Ohio
DeWine Was Accused by Police Chiefs of Ignoring Rogue Sheriff's Prescription Drug Scheme
By on September 26, 2018.
Ohio is one of the hardest-hit states in the nation's opioid epidemic, its rate of overdose deaths tripling between 2010 and 2016 to more than double the national average.
The crisis has become a focal point in the state's gubernatorial campaign, and the Republican nominee, Attorney General Mike DeWine has played up his credentials, boasting on his website that he has been "leading the fight against the drug epidemic since he first took office."
But in 2016, DeWine was publicly accused by police chiefs of ignoring their concerns about a prescription-drug operation in their county — a complaint that forced an investigation, resulted in a conviction and raised questions about DeWine's relationship with law enforcement.
DeWine
Both DeWine and his opponent, Richard Cordray, a Democrat and former head of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, have released multi-part plans to fight the epidemic, and DeWine has unveiled an ad highlighting his work on the issue.
However, in January 2016, six police chiefs in Sandusky County accused DeWine of ignoring their concerns about a suspicious prescription drug-collection operation being run by the county's sheriff, Kyle Overmyer, whom DeWine had praised in 2012 for his efforts combating the drug trade.
The chiefs said they brought the complaint to DeWine's office in August 2015 and, over the next year, had multiple meetings with him and his staff where they voiced frustration that the attorney general's office was not taking seriously the investigation into Overmyer, who they said was running a scheme to trick them into handing over prescription drugs they collected by falsely claiming he was part of a Drug Enforcement Agency-sponsored operation.
An unnamed source told the Sandusky Register that DeWine was "trying to sweep this under the rug" because of his past investigations with the sheriff's office, a claim his spokesman told the newspaper was "false and salacious and ignores the fact that BCI does not make charging decisions."
Shortly after the Register report, the police chiefs went public with their complaints.
The Ohio Supreme Court appointed a special prosecutor in the case after, as the Sandusky Register reported, DeWine "failed to take action after the state crime lab began investigating the sheriff a year ago."
Six months later a grand jury indicted Overmyer on 43 charges including deception to obtain a dangerous drug, filing false financial disclosure statements, theft in office, tampering with records and theft. Overmyer pleaded guilty to fourteen charges and was sentenced to four years in prison and was required to pay back $24,000 to Sandusky County, according to WTOL-TV.
It wasn't the last time Ohio's police questioned DeWine's actions as attorney general.
For more than a year, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents and their supervisors asked Attorney General Mike DeWine to replace more than 50 bulletproof vests that had passed their recommended expiration date.
"I WILL NOT ALLOW MY FOLKS TO GO THROUGH A SINGLE DOOR!!!" a BCI supervisor wrote to DeWine's office, according to an Associated Press report last month.
The episode was the latest example of DeWine — a former senator now running as the GOP nominee to replace term-limited Gov. John Kasich — being criticized for not listening to the state's law-enforcement officers.
While BCI officers were sharing fears about their aging body armor, DeWine was scheduled to be fitted for his own vest, the AP reported. After voicing concerns for more than a year, BCI agents filed a grievance with the Ohio Labor Council in May alleging that 53 of the 99 vests in use had gone beyond the five-year expiration guidelines set by the National Institute of Justice.

Need more anime like DBZ? Suggested Anime Thread
Kakarot88
OMG CRAZY REG
Post by Kakarot88 » Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:41 pm
Hi all, I just got done binging on Yu Yu Hakuso and realized I loved it because of how much stuff was similar if not straight up entirely ripped off of DBZ, so I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions on other fighting animes that similarly seem inspired by DBZ?
"You might think you know everything there is to know about me, but really, you're not even CLOSE."
"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." ~ Sir Winston Chruchill / Dragon Ball Z in a nutshell
How I enjoy the anime:
I like to switch between the dub and the original. If I want to watch the original I'll watch it subbed on my Dragon Boxes.
If I want to watch it dubbed I'll watch the funimation singles and my dragon boxes for the other episodes in proper aspect ratio. Aside from the Vegeta arc I cannot stand the dub with the Japanese music, as it just does not mesh with the dub script and acting.
Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of the Kikuchi score and think it works perfectly with the Japanese cast...but the American audio in Z and Kai just sounds awful with it.
Kai is the only version of the dub I cannot watch whether it be Yamamoto's score or Kikuchii's ad hoc replacement. Until this forum I had not encountered a single person who preferred Kai to Z in terms of dub.

What are you saying? The supposed "BIG THREE!!!" are very much inspired by Dragon Ball! Seriously though, despite the inspirations, One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach do their own takes on stuff. If you liked Yu Yu Hakusho, I think you would like Hunter x Hunter. Both manga have the same author. It is similar to DBZ in that it has a spirited young protagonist, a tournament arc, an arc similar to the Cell arc, and a more realized take on Ki. However, it likes to subvert your expectations but in a good way. The tone of the series also changes over time. The recent anime based on the manga is available for legal streaming on Crunchyroll with English subtitles in SD with ads and HD with no ads if you have a subscription. There is no English dub at the moment, but the Japanese voice acting is well done.
If you like the '80s and '90s cheesiness of DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho, you will really like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It is super hammy action/adventure series that is well bizarre. It is also on Crunchyroll. The anime adaptation of it does not have an English dub because of the fact that there is multiple references to western pop culture and music because of the manga author's love for the West.

I also recommend Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, which has an excellent anime adaptation currently streaming on Crunchyroll. It's similar to DBZ, in that it's full of slugfests and super-powered martial artists. But the battles are more about smarts and wits rather than strength, so the one-upsmanship featured in every conflict is a real joy to behold. That, and the tone of the series is just downright bananas, which is saying a lot in the anime/manga realm.
If you like the humor and adventure mixed with fighting that Dragon Ball embodies, I'd also recommend One Piece. Honestly, its early episodes aren't the greatest, but if you stick with it, you'll find that the series not only features some very unique characters and powers, but also that the series has such an epic romantic scope that surpasses even DBZ in terms of execution. It's also no secret that the creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, is one of the biggest Dragon Ball fans there is.
There's a couple other shonen/fighting series that I like and would recommend as well; though they're older series, they're all quality:
- Fist of the North Star
- Saint Seiya
- Rurouni Kenshin
- What I've seen of Hunter X Hunter was pretty solid as well. It may be more up your alley especially since it's based around tournaments and combat.

Yeah, Joseph Joestar in Part 2 certainly is the king of one-upping his opponents. Also, HxH stops being mainly about tournaments and combat after Heaven's Arena to let you know. There are still logical fights in the series, but there is much more logic behind them.

Certainly not directly inspired by, but KILL la KILL shares the same perverted and silly humour that the initial Dragon Ball anime had. Its fights aren't really comparable to Z in style but they certainly gave me that same feeling of 'fuck yeah'!
I'd definitely give the first two episodes a go and see how you feel. They're on CrunchyRoll too so you can check them out without committing to downloading anything.
It's a departure from what's been mentioned so far but heyho, better to have options!
EXCERPT FROM A REVIEW:
EDIT: Welp, nevermind! Not even included on the list.

Thanks for all the feedback, so here's what I'm thinking based on the feedback, and what I've already seen:
I'm def gonna looks into
Jo Jo's Bizare Adventure
I know Mobile Fighetr G Gundam has a gundam go basically super saiyan when they guy's king of hearts hand tatoo or whatever gets all lit up...that's about all I remember.
I thought about trying Bleach, but heard it got super crappy so I never did...
The tipping point for me is the musical score, Yu Yu Hakusho's score was so on point; any of those above y'all feel the same way about?
And is crunchyroll is the only legal way to watch some of these before I drop change on the series?
Prob gonna pass on:
Fist of the North Star; I've tried a few times to get into it, but it's so dark in some places I get turned off (...said the guy who love Yu Yu Hakusho...yeah yeah whatevs)
Rurouni Kenshin (it was too moody, at least the dub from what I saw I was like bro get over it)
One Piece ...at least for now bc i hate the character designs and the no water storyline feels frustrating plus it is too friggen long lol
Naruto bores me ...and I dont like the art

G Gundam is a lot of fun, but it's definitely an acquired taste. People either love it or hate it. It's what you would get if you put Street Fighter, DBZ, martial arts flicks, westerns, WWE, UFC, the SuperFriends, and Gundams, and tossed them all into a blender, with some silly multicultural stereotypes thrown in for good measure.
It starts out silly and fairly formulaic, but everything eventually comes to a head in the latter half. The last 10 or so episodes are truly epic IMO, and are just as exciting and gripping as the best shonen anime can be.
Just don't take it too seriously, or you're not gonna have a good time.

I got into the Guyver because of DBZ and has been one of my favorite anime/manga series since then. Watch the recent TV series from the mid 2000's first or watch the late 80's OVA's.

I like The Guyver quite a bit too, but I always saw it as a darker, ultraviolent version of Super Sentai/Power Rangers/Kamen Rider... those types of shows; not as anything particularly similar to DBZ.

Bonus points for the anime apparently having Yamcha and Tenshinhan as the lead roles.

Musical score huh... I'll just say that JoJo's soundtrack really comes into its own in Battle Tendency. Some characters have their own motifs like the team falcouner score did. Dubstep is used for awesome results interestingly. Also, the openings and endings kick ass! The anime studio uses western songs for the endings. The most recent ending is "Walk Like An Egyptian" by the Bangles. HxH's music is pretty good as well. Just prepare to hear the same song for all openings, kinda like YYH.

G Gundam is indeed the Supah Shonen Gundam, for better and worse.
I marathoned the new Phantom Blood on Crunchyroll like 3 weeks ago- wow, I get it. What's more interesting is that how its supreme tonal confusion (
Speedwagon's play-by-plays and zombie mothers eating their children should not mix the way they do!
) contrasted with its nineteenth-century world was really fun to watch, that I'm afraid I'm going to be turned off by what little I already know of where the later parts go, having only seen Stardust Crusaders in any detail besides. Araki basically reboot the continuity for a reason. And Phantom Blood is supposed to be weakest link in the story.

I'm not sure what part of Kenshin you've been watching, but unless you're talking about one of the OVA's, I don't think you really "got" it. How much did you watch, and how long ago was that?
For what it's worth, the anime doesn't even cover the "moody" part of Rurouni Kenshin. So I'm not sure where you're coming from.

It's not easy to get it complete unless you're fluent in Japanese, Spanish, French, Portuguese or whatever other language it was released because in terms of English it's yet incomplete and New Video Group has given SS the middle finger with their shitty release of "Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Classic Complete Collection".
But not all hope's gone as the Blu-ray BOX 1 & 2 are to be released soon in Japan so I'm hoping a high quality anime distro picks it up.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:

Das A1 Team Österreich (engl. Stilisierung: A1Team.Austria) war das österreichische Nationalteam in der A1GP-Serie.

Geschichte
Das A1 Team Österreich wurde vom Lauda Sport Management, bestehend aus Niki und Lukas Lauda sowie Alex Wilmanski, gegründet; als Rennstall fungierte das deutsche Team Rosberg.

In der ersten Saison war das Team unteres Mittelmaß; seinen ersten Punkt konnte es mit Platz zehn im Hauptrennen in Estoril durch Mathias Lauda erzielen. Es folgten im Saisonverlauf fünf weitere Punkteplatzierungen (drei durch Lauda, zwei durch den in Monterrey fahrenden Patrick Friesacher). Das Team beendete die Saison auf Rang 19 mit 14 Punkten.

In der folgenden Saison trat es nicht mehr an.

Das A1 Team Österreich hat an elf Rennwochenenden der A1GP-Serie teilgenommen.

Fahrer
Das A1 Team Österreich setzte an Rennwochenenden zwei verschiedene Fahrer ein, von denen beide auch an den Rennen selbst teilnahmen.

The support for SOPA and PIPA- the two new legislations to implement strict copyrights in the United States had started to get weak in the last week. It is mainly due to the announcement by the Oversight committee chairmen. Recently he announced in the House of Representatives that these two antipiracy bills will hardly be supported by anyone, unless a consensus is done on the new legislations.
Even though the committee is worried about how the senators will be reacting on the issue, they are quite hopeful and confident that the House will not likely to take in any flawed legislation into action. However, they hope that the House would rather work together to tackle the consequences coming around the issues and when the bill will be placed before the House for a vote, a consensus will already be built on it.
In fact, since White House has publicly expressed worries about a few major issues provisioned in the new bill, this is going to be a disappointing blow along the support line of the legislation that had been supporting this antipiracy laws. Among the supporters there are six major movie studios and the four prominent record companies had been expecting that the Justice Department of America will be given the right to block US access to all sorts of foreign websites that facilitate illegal content sharing and piracy. If passed, this law will also empower the US government to take actions against all the third party payment processing services like PayPal, Skrill etc., all the major credit card processing companies, Google or Yahoo advertisement agencies and all the Internet Service providers if they support any such piracy related notorious services.
In the mean time, The anti copyright support group that had been campaigning against the SOPA and PIPA legislations have made the lawmakers convinced to drop the provisions of the DNS. The Senate is expected to start a voting process on January 24th to work on the PIPA legislation. Again, six of the Republican Senators have requested the leaders to defer the voting for the PIPA and SOPA legislations, therefore the support for the bills also started to get weakened.
Although, White House is disapproving both of the legislations, it is asking both the supporter and the opponent campaign groups to come up with some viable solutions that would help to protect both the web space and the free speech. According to the government, the absence of proper law against piracy is hurting the US economy as this is actually hurting the most creative industry and the entrepreneurs and creative firms related to the industry. And as a result of that, a large number of middle class workers are facing the risk of job extinctions tool. On the other hand, the provisions described in the two proposed laws seemed quite threatening to a number of other professionals as well. The growing number of internet based industry will also see a stop if these laws come effective. Therefore, there should be a joint effort by both the parties to come up with a feasible solution that would support the appropriate rights for both the parties. In place of a win-lose, or a lose-win combination, the new proposal should bring in a win-win situation for both the creative entertainment industry and the internet supported industry.

Q: Read-only on an SQLite database which is being modified by another program I wrote a program that has an SQLite database, modifying it every few seconds.
Now I want to write a small gadget program that would just read a bit of info from that database (read-only) and display it.
Can the second program open the database as "read-only", while the first program might be modifying it?
Is using Read Only=True when opening the database enough?
Or do I have to make a copy of the SQLite file, or something?
I did not find any tip about this on sqlite.org.
The second program does not need real-time info, it can be a bit outdated.

A: You are looking for WAL Mode.

WAL provides more concurrency as readers do not block writers and a
  writer does not block readers. Reading and writing can proceed
  concurrently.

Independence Day of India has a great history with sacrifices and fights. The day is celebrated on 15th August every year. On this day India got freedom form British Rule. There are many great freedom fighters who sacrificed their life just to get independence from British rule. We salute them and say thank you for their sacrifice for Nation.
On 15th August 1947 India freed herself from British Rule. It was a tough struggle against British Empire.On 29th march 1875a brave Indian soldier raised his voice against British Empire and later it turned into sepoy mutiny.Moreover, the name of Indian Soldier was mangal pandey and the reason of his revolution was low wages of Indian workers than other British Soldiers, cultural misunderstandings and racial judgments. Mangal pandey was hanged because he had shot his sergeant major on the parade ground.
The Mahatma Gandhi, Nana Sahib, Jhansi Rani Laxmibai, and tantia topealso had a great fight for the nation. In 1930, mahatma Gandhi started the famous 'Salt March' (Dandi Yatra) and after that in 1942 he started the 'Quit India Movement'. There were a great support to mahatma gandhi at that time and it turned into fight for independence. The freedom from British Empire was demanded from Indian people.
Later a lot has happened due to our great Indian freedom fighters. With two successive world wars, the British Empire was ultimately weak to a certain extent. At last in the year of 1947, the 3rd viscount Louis Mountbatten the last British governor general of India announced that they leave Indian subcontinent.Before leaving India they had decided to split up the Indian British Empire into secular India and Muslim Pakistan.
Pakistan was officially announced as an independent nation from 14th august 1947 and at midnight on 15th august 1947 India was declared as independent nation by the first prime minister Mr. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

Re-scan Confocal Microscopy (RCM) is a new super-resolution technique based on standard confocal microscopy extended with an optical (re-scanning) unit that projects the image directly on a CCD-camera. This new microscope has improved lateral resolution (170 nm at 488 nm light), and strongly improved sensitivity, while maintaining the sectioning capability of a standard confocal microscope. This technology is useful for biological applications, where the combination of high-resolution and high-sensitivity is required (but not very high imaging speed).
During scanning, re-scan mirrors (SM2) move faster than the first scan mirrors (SM1), which magnifies the image on the camera chip compared to the sample, and eventually results in the higher resolution of the image. The resolution of the system can be improved with the re-scan step by a factor of √2 (i.e. 1.41 times), compared to Abbe's resolution limit by changing the angular amplitude of the re-scanner (SM2). Reduction of pinhole is no longer necessary to increase resolution – in fact, closing down the pinhole will only limit the amount of light passing through, and increase the signal to noise ratio due to weaker signal. Since the re-scan is purely optical method, and no further image processing is required, there is also no time cost of improving the resolution.
Data from above-mentioned article comparing resolution with various pinhole sizes for both confocal microscopy and RCM.
Together with the open pinhole (AU=2), this provides an exceptional image with high resolution and superior signal to noise ratio. The lateral resolution of the RCM is increased to 170nm compared to 240nm of regular confocal microscope and the signal to noise ratio is 4x better.
Comparison between standard confocal microscopy (left) and RCM (right). RCM gives resolution improvement by a factor of √2.


Tharoor to Pappu: "Sir, sir, a major cyclone hit Chennai. 100 Tamillian people are missing.
Pappu is silent. His lips quiver. His hands shiver. His eyes wells up. He is unable to speak.
Tharoor is stunned. He never imagined that this event could affect his master so badly.
After a few minutes, in a trembling voice, Pappu asks "So, how many millions are there in one tamillion?"

Smoke coming from northwestern states; no wildfires on the Shoshone
With the amount of smoke in town, you might be tempted to assume there's a wildlife burning nearby. In actuality, the haze is coming from points well northwest of here.
Satellite images taken Thursday show blazes in Washington and Idaho putting out a lot of smoke that's drifting into Wyoming, including Cody and Powell.
Fires in Washington are producing a large amount of smoke. Image taken from NASA's EOSDIS "Worldview" tool.
With the smoke so thick, the Shoshone National Forest put out a Thursday afternoon news release just to clarify there were not any fires inside the forest's 2.4 million acres.
Shoshone spokeswoman Kristie Salzmann, based in Cody, said forest personnel had heard a smattering of comments around town about the smoke's origins and wanted to preempt any thoughts that it was coming from somewhere on the Shoshone.
Salzmann said there are more than 90 large, uncontained wildfires burning across more than a million acres in Oregon, Idaho, California, Washington, Nevada, Texas and Arizona.
The state of Washington has asked for help in fighting its fires, and on Thursday, Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead announced he's sending two UH-60 helicopters equipped with aerial firefighting equipment. Each helicopter includes a crew of three, with a two-person maintenance crew joining them.
"We want to do all we can to help keep people and property safe," Mead said in a statement. "Wyoming crews are well-trained and able to help."
The crews will be based at Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane, Washington. The deployment is expected to last around 16 days, but the crews can be recalled at any time if a need arises in Wyoming, the governor's office said.
"The National Guard is based on partnerships," said Maj. Gen. Luke Reiner, Wyoming's adjutant general, in a statement. "When one of our partners needs support in times of need it is important to step up and assist."

Mercury to Honor Notre Dame Coach Muffet Mcgraw Friday
The three-time WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury will honor University of Notre Dame women's basketball head coach Muffet McGraw during the Mercury's game against the Minnesota Lynx tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at Talking Stick Resort Arena. As part of the Mercury's Believe In Women platform, the team has honored women in sports, business and philanthropy making a difference in Arizona and the world at large. McGraw will be the 11th recipient of the honor this summer.
McGraw made national headlines during a press conference at the 2019 NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four in April when saying, "I'm getting tired of the novelty of the first female governor of this state, the first female African American mayor of this city. When is it going to become the norm instead of the exception? How are these young women looking up and seeing someone that looks like them, preparing them for the future? We don't have enough female role models. We don't have enough visible women leaders. We don't have enough women in power."
Entering her 33rd season as the head coach for Notre Dame, McGraw has tallied over 800 wins during her time with the Fighting Irish, has led the program to two national championships (2001, 2018), seven trips to the national championship game, and nine appearances in the Final Four. In September of 2017, McGraw was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, becoming the 32nd women ever inducted and the 13th female head coach. All five players from Notre Dame selected during the 2019 WNBA Draft made a final roster, including the Phoenix Mercury's own Brianna Turner (11th overall pick).
After coming within one win of trip to the WNBA Finals, the Phoenix Mercury return in 2019 in search of a league-record tying fourth WNBA title. Led by the All-Star trio of Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner and DeWanna Bonner, Phoenix looks to continue its title quest on September 6 against Minnesota. Tickets for the Mercury's final two home game on Friday, September 6 against the Minnesota Lynx and Sunday, September 8 against the Las Vegas Aces at Talking Stick Resort Arena can be purchased by calling 602.252.WNBA or by visiting PhoenixMercury.com.

The best way to restore the harmony between the body and the mind is to draw strength from the ancient Estonian nature, energise yourself (as our ancestors did) in a sauna, and enjoy the healing power of sauna therapy, bathing, and other procedures.
In Maria Farm, you can take part in a unique and interesting sauna therapy. In an authentic farm sauna, you will see a sauna-man, who will perform an unforgettable whisking séance. Once your body is hot enough, you can refresh yourself in the cool pond water between the two saunas or in an ice hole during the winter. Even ancient Estonians knew that sweating, whisking, and going to a steam sauna invigorate those who are healthy and cure those who are sick.


text: THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, February 1, 2019 Page 11 SOUNDS | from page 10 in the children's area still had a few books available, he noted. Of course, when you have a team that has won so many playoff games and competed for the NFL title practically every other year over the last two decades, young people are spoiled and cling to unrealistic expectations. Consider this: Anyone 18 years old and younger has never endured a losing Patriots season. All they know about is winning. More turnover at Town Hall Candidates who are serious about running for the Board of Selectmen in the town's fall elections this year might want to broach Town Hall turnover as a campaign issue worthy of public discussion. Kelley Anne Ferretti, a recent hire as the town's Human Resources person, reportedly got fired last week – apparently after some kind disagreement with Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree. Ferretti, a Beverly resident who is also a member of that city's School Committee, didn't return several phone calls from The Saugus Advocate inquiring about her short time in a most crucial position in town government. She is the daughter of former Saugus Town Meeting Member Brian Costin, who has served on the Board of Registrars. Ferretti's departure is getting attention on Saugus social media. Of course, people need to be careful about what they read into social media comments critical of town government. Unless there's some kind of lawsuit getting filed against the town, the public will never know for sure what happened in this personnel matter. But it is worth looking into why employees in important town positions don't hang around too long at Town Hall. Coller calling out "Fab 5" It's only the beginning of the second month of the new year, and aspiring Board of Selectmen candidate Michael Coller has already come out swinging – against the popular Board of Selectmen that he calls "The Fabulous Five." "Ok. Let's set this straight. The only people speeding recently are doing drive by shootings," Coller said in a recent email, criticizing selectmen for their decisions in recent months to lower the speed limit to 25 mph on 10 Saugus streets. "You can only travel 5 MPH on Route One due to over development. So the 'Fab Five' only address 'low hanging fruit,' not the 'root' of our challenges. Total nonsensical approach and wasted time due to 'cowardice' and fear to take on challenges," he said. Coller came back with a later email, further clarifying his criticism of the board. "Home Invasions? Drive By Shootings? Clandestine and 'Slippery' Tax Increases? Overdevelopment? Traffic? "But speeding and stop signs are critical. Surely they are, but where does Town Government take on real and credible challenges!" Coller, who is running as a local political candidate for the third consecutive year – and the second time for selectman – does need to clarify the year he plans to take office. A recent ad identifies 2020 as his year. However, if voters elect Coller to a seat in the November town elections, he would take office in late 2019. Stay tuned. Main Attractions at the Saugus Public Library There's always something interesting or entertaining going on at the Saugus Public Library – for people of all ages – from young children to senior citizens. Here are a few events to check out: Friendship Storytime on Fridays continues. This special program for children, which begins at 9:30 a.m., is sponsored by the Coordinated Family Community Engagement Grant. It can help parents nurture their child's social and early literacy skill with structured story time. Keeping Us in Stitches returned recently. It will continue every second and third Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.; Grade 2 and up, and older children can learn to sew using needle, thread (and maybe a sewing machine) with teachers Miss Joyce and Miss Margie. Let's Get Ready for Kindergarten playgroup! This program, which is sponsored by the Coordinated Community Engagement Grant, runs from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturdays.

Registration is required. Lindsay & her Puppet Pals! Life-size puppets that she makes herself will visit the library to entertain local kids on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at 3 p.m. – not a bad way for kids to enjoy their February vacation week. Homework helpers at the library The Saugus Public Library is again offering tutoring and homework help twice a week to the town's elementary school students. Members of the Junior National Honor Society from the Belmonte Middle School will work with students in the library's Community Room on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3 to 5 p.m. Under the program, which has received rave reviews in town, the elementary school students get help while the Belmonte students get credits for community service. The library again will be partnering with the Belmonte Middle School to offer free, drop-in homework help in the Community Room to Saugus elementary school students to help foster strong academic and study skills outside of school hours. No registration is required, but students must be signed in/out by a parent or guardian. The parent or guardian must remain on library grounds while student is receiving homework assistance pursuant to an unaccompanied minors policy. This program is open to students in grades K-5. The subjects students can get help with are math, science, grammar, reading, social studies, geography and more. Hey parents, here's some help if you child needs it. Let's hear it! Got an idea, passing thought or gripe you would like to share SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 13 Every kind of job for one kind of person. Exceptional. Encore Boston Harbor is hiring. Explore thousands of fulfilling careers. You deserve an Encore.

Tulips and Day Lilies are spouting with the signs of sun and mild temperatures. Soon the gardens will be colourful again and we can start our planting.
Before we start gardening let's do something for our house. Let's do a 5 minute walk around specifically looking for problems on the outside that could lead to water damage on the inside. water damage leads to mold growth and mold growth leads to mold removal.
A quick look at these items may save you thousands of dollars in future repairs.
Does the caulking look weathered, cracked or pieces missing?
The window sits on a sill, does the sill seem in good repair?
The house sits on a concrete type foundation. The brick usually stops before the ground on this concrete foundation, it should not be covered by gardens, dirt or driveways and it is recommended that at least 8" of concrete foundation be showing.
Check all around the house at the foundation looking for signs of cracking.
Take a quick look at the brick for missing grout (the material between the brick) or brick cracking or flaking.
Take a look at the siding for any signs of damage.
Various pipes go in and out of your home, these should have proper caulking. Check for cracking or damage.
Kitchens and dryer vents come through the wall and should have some sort of louvered vent cap that prevents animals and rain from entering your home. Check that the vents are in good repair and are properly caulked.
A few items that I left off the list may pose an inspection problem for some home owners. The roof and second/third floor windows and the eve troughs. Look on www.Homestars.com for reputable companies that can help with those inspections.
It may seem like an over whelming list but it really only takes a few minutes and every year you'll get better at it.

The proposed project is designed to be in harmony with Madison Avenue's world-famous streetscape while reflecting the history of the district. The building's natural stone materials, including brick and limestone, will contribute to and balance the existing neighborhood. The new building will include a series of setbacks and outdoor terraces that break up the massing, create definition from the street and provide a visual connection to Central Park.
"New York is one of the world's major fashion capitals, and Madison Avenue is by definition an iconic luxury location. In the 1980s, when I opened my first Giorgio Armani boutique in Manhattan, I chose this exclusive and refined area because it was perfect for the timeless elegance and attention to detail I wanted to communicate. Today, thirty years later, I still believe this place reflects my philosophy and my aesthetic vision. With this special project, I continue the journey I began over ten years ago with my Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio, through which I look for innovative creative solutions that express my personal concept of luxury and refinement, while respecting the local culture and spirit," said Giorgio Armani.
SL Green Realty Corp., which took control of the building in 2012, will lead the development in collaboration with Armani. "The Armani brand is synonymous with Madison Avenue and we are thrilled to partner with Armani to solidify its lasting presence along one of the world's most recognized retail corridors while also introducing the timeless Armani lifestyle to the residences above," said SL Green CEO Marc Holliday. "Armani's commitment to Madison Avenue and New York City is unwavering and the brand's leadership will preserve all that we, as New Yorkers, love about the Upper East Side of Manhattan."
"This special project is an opportunity to design a modern home for the next generation of Armani's presence on Madison Avenue," said Rick Cook, Principal at COOKFOX. "Our approach is to reinterpret the design sensibility of classic Madison Avenue building, like The Carlton House at 21 East 61 st Street and 45 East 66 th Street, to create a contemporary and iconic residence and retail building for both the Upper East Side Historic District and the Armani brand."
The team also includes New York's premier historic preservation consultants, Higgins, Quasebarth and Partners, and zoning consultants, Greenberg Traurig, LLP,to help ensure that each aspect of the building design will be appropriate for the Upper East Side Historic District. The plan will require approval of the Landmark Preservation Commission. Construction is expected to begin in 2020 and be complete in 2023.

A tree must develop strong roots to grow tall and strong. By the same token, a small business must develop credit in order to thrive and succeed.
Most big accomplishments are made of the small steps it took to achieve them. To make your small business great, you have to develop credit. This is the only way to get the fast business funding it takes to go to the next level. Thankfully, the process is easier than you might think.
Why is it So Difficult for a Small Business to Develop Credit?
According to the Federal Reserve Bank, the major reason businesses are turned down for a quick bank loan is no or low credit. Worst of all, anyone can access your business credit report, from suppliers to potential investors.
The number one problem business owners have is that when you get something, you have to sign for it personally. This includes equipment, credit cards, leases and other financing. Your credit score is based partly on how much you have committed to personally verses what the credit company thinks you should be allowed.
Trying to develop credit is the very definition of a Catch-22. You can't get a fast business loan without credit and you can't get credit if no one is willing to lend you money.
Bad credit can affect how much interest you will have to pay, payment terms and insurance premiums. Your credit rating is not just about your financial health; it also determines your credibility.
Fortunately, alternative lenders, like Financing Solutions (www.financingsolutionsnow.com), have stepped in to help small business owners with credit issues. They have helped numerous businesses get the fast business financing they need to survive and thrive.
Unlike a bank, Financing Solutions uses many areas of your business to approve you for financing or a line of credit. More importantly, they don't report to the credit agencies unless you are in default.
In addition, they don't put all those restrictions on your money the way a bank does. Their instant business financing can be used for any purpose, such as making payroll, paying business taxes or growth opportunities.
Studies have shown that only one-tenth of one percent of small businesses ever becomes a big business. If you would like your business to be a part of this statistic, you have to develop the right growth strategies.
One thing you can do is to find new ways for customers to enjoy your product. For example, if your company makes toothpaste, you can highlight the fact that the product can also be used to clean carpet stains, cell phone screens and piano keys. The more problems your product can solve means more purchases and a bigger market share.
You can also look into franchising your business model. This allows you to open more locations without having to raise working capital or do all the work yourself. It's also a way to grow your brand faster than doing it alone.
Perhaps the best way to develop your company is to get quick business funding from Financing Solutions. With their help, the sky's the limit for your business growth.
