Detective Conan: Silver Bullet

Shuichi Akai
FBI Secret Agent
First Apearance in Episode 230
considered as the "Silver Bullet"

    The name or alias “Silver Bullet” is what the Black Organization calls the one who will destroy their organization in one shot. It is referred to as “Akai Shuichi”, a FBI agent that is assigned in Japan for hunting down Vermouth. He once infiltrates the Black Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi and given the code name “Rye” as mole. He used Akemi Miyano as tool to get information about the Black Organization and to meet Shiho Miyano, Akemi’s younger sister who invented the APTX 4869 poison that shrunk Shinichi Kudo into Conan Edogawa. But later on, they fell in love in each other. When Akemi was killed, she declares the culprit is Gin. He has abilities in which he excels like shooting or sniping, deducing ability, and good driving skills. He very professional and loyal to those he knows that’s why he earned the alias “Silver Bullet” from the Black Organization.

    But Vermouth did not consider Shuichi as the "Silver Bullet" because she prefer this alias to Shinichi Kudo who is currently Edogawa Conan.

Simple Data Encryption

    We have this as our preliminary examination this first semester in our IT Elective II which is about VisualBasic.Net. Well, during our written examination, we were tasked to simulate the code written in our test papers and we also create a function according to the given problem. While in our laboratory examination, we were task to incorporate these functions in a program. So here first are the functions:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Function reverseString(ByVal word As String) As String

        Dim x As Integer

        For x = 1 To Len(word)

            reverseString = ChangeChar(Mid(word, x, 1)) & reverseString

        Next

    End Function

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The function above is about reversing a string but the other thing that it does is it fetches the data to the ChangChar function for to be able to make some modifications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Function ChangeChar(ByVal letter As String) As String

        Select Case Microsoft.VisualBasic.UCase(letter)

            Case "A"

                ChangeChar = "I"

            Case "B"

                ChangeChar = "N"

            Case "C"

                ChangeChar = "F"

            Case "D"

                ChangeChar = "O"

            Case "E"

                ChangeChar = "R"

            Case Else

                ChangeChar = "M"

        End Select

    End Function

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The above code is the function called in the reverseString function. It is responsible for encrypting the data which make the data unreadable. Later, you will see some sample performed by this function.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Function insertChar(ByVal word As String, ByVal toinsert As String) As String

        Dim x As Integer

        For x = 1 To Len(word)

            insertChar = insertChar & toinsert & Microsoft.VisualBasic.UCase(Mid(word, x, 1))

        Next

    End Function

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is also an encryption technique which adds excess data so that it will be hard to read if it is combined with the other functions above.

    Here is the sample input and result of performing the reverseString function. You better try it for you to understand it better.

AERIAL = MIMMRI

The Input which is "AERIAL"

The Output after performing the reverseString function

Katekyo Hitman Reborn: Vindice's Eighth Attribute Flame

from www.mangareader.net
Daemon spoke of the
Eighth Element Flame

    This is become an interesting thing that I notice when I read the manga of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Whenever I think or say this thing, it always display in my mind the expression showed by the member of Vindice which is called by Giotto as Bermuda. That is the time when Daemon start to talk about their flame which they called “Eight Attribute Flame”.

    Remember, it is recently told for the first time in the manga series. Ever since, this become a mysterious flame that can even transport one’s self is to other places that is always used by the Vindice. Still, even it is slightly revealed by Daemon Spade, I think it is hard to pull off to get into its secret.
    It is once said by Bermuda that the one that can only use this flame is the one that has a body. Without a body, no one can use this flame. There is also some things that bugs me. How Daemon Spade attain this flame? How he got a power in using Mukuro's body while Mukuro himself cannot get that much power?

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Season 10

Tsunayoshi Sawada with Vongola Gear
and Power from Shimon Ring
(Oath's Flame)
Cozart and Giotto's Flame
From Reborn Manga
www.mangastream.com

    I think the current season of the Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Season 9 which is the Episode 203 will be move to the next level, since the production of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! in manga is continuously done as of now. If they will end releasing this anime, it will not satisfy those who read manga already. I can say that this is the climax of the series because it involves the past of the Vongola and Shimon Family. There also mysteries that are not yet revealed just like the mystery behind the Arcobaleno. Though it was taught to Yamamoto Takeshi, Vongola Rain Guardian, it is still not revealed to Tsuna and others since they already get back to the present from the future. And also, there is still a mystery behind the Vindice. How they became the keepers of the law of Mafia and what is the secret about their flame which called by Daemon Spade as “Eight Attribute Flame”. After Daemon only told about the name of the flame, it seems that the Vindice is about to shut Daemon if Tsuna did not take care of him.

   I hope that it will be in the anime or else, it might be a disappointment to the expectators of the anime. Wonder when it will be released...

Reverse Function

    Some of the functions in the VB 6 (Visual Basic 6.0) are obsolete and do not exist in the VB.Net. So in this kind of situation, we are the one who must create a code to to perform the task of the certain function that are obsolete. That is why the VB.Net offers a feature in which we can create our own function. Below, we can is code to perform the reverse function:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Function reverse(Byval toreverse as String) as String

    Dim x as Integer

    If Len(toreverse) >0 then

    For x = 1 to Len(toreverse)

         reverse = Mid(toreverse,x,1) & reverse

    Next x

    End if

End Function

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This code shows how to reverse a string. Since we have to import a value to be reverse, we will put up a parameter. I declare "x" as Integer because i will use it as a counter for the loop. Then, we have first check if the value that is passed to the function is null so that we can determine if it still necessary to perform the function. Next, we need to use the loop so that we can manipulate every letter of a word to be reversed. I put the "reverse" after the "&" because it will get the first character of the word then it must be put to last so that it can be reversed.

Detective Conan Movie 15 – Quarter of Silence

     This is the sequel of the 14^th movie of Detective Conan entitled “Lost Ship of the Sky”.  It starts with the death threatening of the governor of the Tokyo, but as Conan knew about this matter tries to stop this incident. And think that it might be related to other case.

 
  Though its Japanese Version is supposedly released on April 16, 2011, the English version is not yet released. Meaning it is not yet publicized through all over the world. I can't wait to watch it. They say that the English Sub of it will be released after 5 months. So hopefully,  we can watch it on coming September.

Key Factors for Successful Entrepreneurship

        To build up an entrepreneur, there are many things to be considered. There are factors that affect the business that we must know if we want to build up a business. We must first assess ourselves if we are capable of putting up a business. We must have the characteristic of a good entrepreneur if we want our business be success. We must also have a good relationship with others for us to have a good market and advertising tools. Not only the advertisements we put outside our stores but the satisfied customers will advertise us. We must choose a good business that is applicable and a demand. Thus, we must innovate it and make it more appealing than that of the usual things. We can say that the business is about tactics and strategies in competing with others and making a new products which are something new.

Ngiti (Multimedia Final Project 2010 @ St. Anthony College Calapan City)

 

    Here is an amateur video that I captured and edited for our Final Project for our Multimedia in our college day. In this video are Mr. Harvy Paul Arago, and Ms. Mary Grace Bugarin as the interpreters and Mr. Paulo Catoy as the cameraman and co-editor of this video. Somehow, I managed to capture a good angle and setting to counter the factors that may cause our music video a hindrance or unnecessary view like blocking and making some part of our face to have shadows on it because of sun light rays. Those are some factors that are to consider when capturing a video. Though technically, we use a digital camera which is a low quality for capturing video because we cannot afford to use high quality capturing cameras like video camera. But the point here is how to capture a good angle.

   ((*) played with bass struming, same chords)

   (Back to chorus)

   (repeat to fade out)

    This song is performed by “The Moffats”. It has a good melody so somehow, it became my LSS (a.k.a. Last Song Syndrome). By always listening to this song, it is like I am preferred to oldies but goodies. I am hoping that I can master playing guitar. I hope you like it too…

My First Program (Hello World!)

The code in Java

The output

     This is the first program that I have made. Since it is the basic and the first program that almost all the teacher first tell to their students. It always present whenever we will start discussion about another program. Here, it is created in Java Programming Language.
       It is taught for the sense that we will learn how a program can make an output that is visible to our monitor.

      To see other program that I have created during my college days, please keep following this blog..
