|Print item
Two community projects in the village of Ghajnsielem were inaugurated at the weekend, which were completed through the work of the Local Council and the village residents.
The Minister for Gozo together with Mayor Franco Ciangura inaugurated a mosaic staircase and planter at Wied ir-Rghajjes Street, by mosaic artist Mary Portelli with the assistance of residents in the locality. The second project was a giant photograph frame with Ta' Passi and the Ghajnsielem Parish Church as the backdrop.
Dr Caruana said that these projects are evidence of a strong sense of community. "The love for the village, the participation of residents and foremost the energy of the Local Council." She added that the Ministry for Gozo fully supports these types of initiatives.
FrameIt – is a gigantic photograph frame, the first of its type on the Maltese islands, which will be decorated on occasion to suit festivities through the year.
The public are invited to take their photos and post it on the FrameIt facebook page to share the experience with others. The Council said that it also provides a different type of attraction for those who visit Ghajnsielem.

The website opened yesterday as planned, and I have to say its interactivity is excellent.
There's built-in video and audio to address certain topics perhaps more easily and effectively than the written word might do.
It doesn't have to be studied online for the most part – probably 99% of the materials can be downloaded as PDFs, and I think there *may* be an option to get them working on various platforms such as the Kindle with a minimum of fuss, too.
The small bit that can't be downloaded into print, for obvious reasons, is the videos/audio.
However, I suspect it'll be a small matter to download some sort of .flv program and save them off for use offline if you so desired.
So, any concerns I had that this might not be a particularly portable course are gone, subject to having a printer if you want to lug paper around with you.
I've printed all that's available so far – which amounts to about eight weeks work from the looks of it. The rest doesn't seem to be online yet.
The first unit deals quickly with stuff a student should already know – the basics of probability theory, discrete and continuous distributions, the Central Limit Theorem, aspects of calculus, Taylor and MacLaurin series, proof by induction, etc.
There seems to be a requirement to get through about 30 pages of A4 per week, which is about a page every 15 minutes if you manage to stick to just eight hours of study a week (excluding TMA time).
There's a fair bit of calculus in unit 2 – which deals with PDFs, CDFs, moments, quantiles, gamma and beta functions, etc. Here, the requirement seems to drop to about 20 pages per week.
Unit three is where stuff starts looking a bit new to me – bivariate joint, marginal and conditional distributions appear, together with bivariate and conditional moments. It's calculus-heavy. Then there's covariance and correlation, the bivariate normal distribution, multivariate distributions, multivariate moments and the multivariate normal distribution to finish the unit off.
I have to say, it looks fun.
That little lot concludes Block one.
There are four blocks, and 14 units in total.
Printing off units one to three, and their associated extra examples to reinforce learning (separate file) has filled a slightly-larger-than-standard A4 ring binder.
So, I assume we'll end up with about four ring binders-worth.
Something I have to mention is the amount of reinforcing questions for students to have a go at. I thought MST209 had plenty, but M347 is loaded with them. There's absolutely stacks. Which is a very good thing.
The course writing style is friendly and very accessible, and it's well-presented, too. I've only found one minor typo so far, in about 60 pages or so (skim reading until the wee hours last night).
I seriously think I am going to enjoy this course, although it doesn't look like it hangs around….
I'm looking at spending maybe 20 hours a week on M347, then a further 20 hours a week on M343 – hopefully to get a bit ahead, though I wouldn't be surprised if it's only sufficient to keep me up-to-date – I'm having to do a bit of background reading to overcome the fact I skipped statistics at second level. That said, I find probability to be fairly intuitive. For now.

Welcome again to my "blog" which aims to be a one stop shop for N.E. gigs including folk and roots gigs through my podcast and blog/gig guide as well as through regular tweets and postings on Facebook.
Thank you to all those artists and venues over the last month who have responded so enthusiastically to this venture as well as providing useful feedback. As from next month the gig guide will still have a listings element to it, but the descriptions will be briefer and there will be more audio/video content. Hopefully, this will give you enough of an overview to see what's going on, and if you like the sound of something, you can listen to the clips and investigate further using the links provided. I also hope to have ironed out formatting problems I am having with text as evrything is uniform and correctly formatted but unfortunately changes once in the blog, despite the draft being fine. So please bear with me if in places it looks a little unprofessional whilst I sort these issues out. If this has happened to you in "Blogger"...please "Help"!
This will also free me up to put more reviews on Facebook, Twitter and hopefully develop the support that Roots of the World provides to local roots, folk and world music.

Biréli Lagrène – born into a traditional manouche Gypsy family in 1966 – was covering the repertoire of the great guitarist Django Reinhardt by the age of eight, and his relatives were already calling him a child prodigy. By his late teens he was mixing with jazz greats such as Stephane Grappelli and Benny Goodman, and exploring jazz fusion with the likes of bassist Jaco Pastorius. Whilst still a master of the Reinhardt legacy, his current band is a free-wheeling quartet reminiscent of 1960s Blue Note, with saxophonist Franck Wolf, and drummer Hammond organist Jean-Yves Jung and Jean Marc Robin providing the texture and groove.

Storytelling at it's best, a lucid combination.For more than 600 years the stories of Robin Hood have held sway in the English imagination.With Little John, Will Scarlet, Much the Miller's Son, Friar Tuck and the rest of the Merry fellowship, Robin Hood inhabits a leafy clearing in our hearts where it's always high summer, where venison is always roasting and the wrongs and injustices of the worlds are mended by subversion and trickery.In The Liberty Tree, Hugh Lupton and Nick Hennessey sing and tell their way deep into the secret, dappled, winding ways of Sherwood ... and at the same time tell true stories of the ancient tradition of English Dissent.

Review Anna Corcoran: "Anything Better" (EP)
Lovely things come in small packages and that is certainly true of this EP release from northeast England based Scouser, singer-songwriter and pianist Anna Corcoran. Her 3 track EP released earlier this month "Anything Better" is a delight .I for one would welcome an album in the same vein.
All the tracks are entirely the work of Anna who has clearly used the path that her life has taken to great effect. A music graduate of Goldsmith's College, London; Anna then spent some time behind the keyboard in some of London's pricier hotels and then returned to the Liverpool music scene before moving to the north-east recently.
The EP opens with the title track "Anything Better". The beginning of this song pulled me right in with delicious piano and guitar. Then Anna's vocal enters with a smooth but touching quality. The tenderness in her voice was beautifully further emphasised by what I felt was a hint of "bluegrassiness "in the arrangement.
Track 2 –Sadly we are already nearly at the end of the EP! "Fallen Easy" is a beautiful song about someone who has hit hard times. The song is from a friend, I imagine, and is one of encouragement and offer of support to the fallen. Anna delivers the lyrics with a moving humanity accompanied with a tight, musical accompaniment including the excellent Stephanie Kearley on cello. This left me feeling that this was a song that reflected a compassionate songstress which assisted me greatly. I like to like the musicians I'm reviewing!
Track 3: "The Show": Anna showed her flexibility as an artist to be able to operate across genres in this song. The gently lilting arrangement has a jazzy quality to it, which I found hard to get out of my head! All the lyrics on the EP are Anna's, but I found her capacity to use the words musically for their own sound qualities most impressive in this song. "Buy a pretty dress for you to see, Buy a pretty dress for you, For you, For you to see on me" This pattern of repetition of words proved really appealing and recurs throughout the song, the next verse beginning "Paint my lips bright red for you to kiss, Paint my lips bright red for you…" and the song is topped off by a lovely "Ba-da-da-dum…." interval stylishly delivered. Great stuff!
Anna, it's great to have you in the northeast with your beautiful voice, playing and composition, you are very welcome as is this EP! Recommended.

As the myth about the Slender Men grew on the net, it spawned a lot of art work too. Here is a gallery of the best ones so far.. More to come!
Hazardous Water: The Slender Man has some form of connection to water. Where to get The Game Slender? Can You See The Words plays it the hardest by far every reference to water is struck out, when asked about this by a reader. How do I download Slender, The Games: The protagonist simply replies with something vague about correcting mistakes, and the blog links to worldwide news reports on floods. Although Bunyan originated as Slender Men in traditional tales told by loggers in the Great Lakes region of North America, James Stevens, an ad writer working for the Red River Lumber Company, invented many of the stories about him that are known today. I Have Many Names: The Slender Man is often given additional or new names, such as, The Operator, in Marble Hornets. Game of Slender Man videos, so many names slim suited man rail thin man skin-and-bones man rawboned man angular faceless long limbed man operator mister gaunt. Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Characters that have been driven insane by pictures of Slender Man, have started to post comments on other Slender-blogs, taunting both the protagonists and their attempts to stay alive in their struggles against Slendy. Where to get Slender Game? Also, M of The Tutorial has been giving the protagonists encouragement and words of advice. How do you download Slender Man pictures, it is believed Slender Man himself will deposit a victim in an unknown location and leave them to awaken after an attack, possibly to continue stalking them some more. This effect is akin to Slender Sickness, Slender Man images are the most powerful effect of the sickness to date. The Tall Man has been rumored to be at least inspired by the mythos, due to the vague similarity in the synopsis, how do I get Slender Game? There is too little information as of yet to jump to that conclusion. Photographs from the early 1900s were the Slender Man pictures next confirmed reports, where imagery of Slenderman can be found in classical black and white and sepia imagery. How do I download Slender, The Games: Reports from this time indicate sightings in America, the UK, and Russia, as well as reports of child disappearances. No Ending: Some of the blogs and video-blogs The Slender Games end quite abruptly, occasionally with the implication that Slendy nabbed the blogger. Although Slendy and Phantasm's Tall Man aren't too similar beyond the names and suits, the original Something Awful poster did use the latter as a Slender Game when PhotoShopping his images. Despite noted similarities, said poster had never heard of the Chloe Mythos's Tall Man.
Where can I get Slender, The Game? Well it seems to be, its lack of features adds to her fear. Slender Men moves away from the window looking for a phone or a weapon or something that could help her, she turns towards the door and there he is, his head reaching the roof of the Slender Man pictures, tentacles behind his arms, his arms, his arms almost touch the ground. How do you download Slender Man pictures, targets will typically behave in off ways as if possessed, but whether their psychosis is causing them to speak for him or for themselves isn't entirely certain either. She stays still ,fear locks her to the spot as he, stares, at her, his tentacles moving in an almost liquid way as he steps towards her his Slender, The Game hand out stretched. She completely forgets about the note in her hand until she realizes his hand getting closer and closer to the Slender Men, she holds it out as he gets closer but he grabs her wrist not the paper. The Silence is a games Slender fictional religious order or movement led by an alien race of the same name in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. How do i download Slender, The Games: With a design inspired by Munch's famous painting The Scream, the Slender Game are depicted as alien tall men wearing a black suit, white shirt, necktie and having a strange, twisted, featureless face. Where to get The Game Slender? Where to get Slender Game? She gasps as the scream sticks in her throat, he pulls her up to her feet and holds her up in front of him as though he is looking her up and down, the Slender Men wraps gently around he legs as he lifts her Game of Slender Man videos, higher tentacles wrapping around her arms too as he lets go of her with his arm.

Sick of the standard laptop screen resolution of 1366x768, especially on a laptop with a 17" screen? The Register has collected five laptops which have a 1080p resolution, several of which feature touchscreen capabilities for use with Win 8.1 and range in screen size up to 17.3". There is a variety of quality, the lower cost HP notebook does not feature an IPS display and so is not as sharp as some other models but then again it is not as expensive as the other models either. There is not much in the way of benchmarks but it is not too hard to estimate performance based on the components which are inside these laptops as they are common among the current generation of laptops. This review focuses on the screen, much like your eyes do.
"For the more discerning eye, that's just not enough, and while we'll be looking at the more expensive HiDPI laptops soon, full HD laptops are certainly more affordable these days, especially if you're prepared to trade having a high-performance CPU or a speedy solid-state drive for a crisper, higher resolution image instead."

[H]ard|OCP's testing was performed using an i7-3770K but for those looking at the G3258 or other lower priced processors their results will still hold true. As of this posting all three of these cards are within $15 of the $150 mark so even including taxes and shipping you can get your hands on one for less than $200. If you have a 1080p monitor and want the best bang for your buck, which card is the best choice? The results were not absolutely clear cut and your experience may vary depending on the overclock you can achieve but in the end one card stood out, see which one in their full review.
"Today we continue our quest at finding the best value for 1080p gaming at less than $200. We are looking at two video cards from ASUS, the R7 265 DirectCU II and the GTX 750 Ti DirectCU II OC. We will compare across a variety of 1080p gaming, and draw our conclusion on the best value between the R7 260X, R7 265, and GTX 750 Ti."

The Road to 1080p
The stars of the show: a group of affordable GPU options
When preparing to build or upgrade a PC on any kind of a budget, how can you make sure you're extracting the highest performance per dollar from the parts you choose? Even if you do your homework comparing every combination of components is impossible. As system builders we always end up having to look at various benchmarks here and there and then ultimately make assumptions. It's the nature of choosing products within an industry that's completely congested at every price point.
Another problem is that lower-priced graphics cards are usually benchmarked on high-end test platforms with Core i7 processors - which is actually a necessary thing when you need to eliminate CPU bottlenecks from the mix when testing GPUs. So it seems like it might be valuable (and might help narrow buying choices down) if we could take a closer look at gaming performance from complete systems built with only budget parts, and see what these different combinations are capable of.
With this in mind I set out to see just how much it might take to reach acceptable gaming performance at 1080p (acceptable being 30 FPS+). I wanted to see where the real-world gaming bottlenecks might occur, and get a feel for the relationship between CPU and GPU performance. After all, if there was no difference in gaming performance between, say, a $40 and an $80 processor, why spend twice as much money? The same goes for graphics. We're looking for "good enough" here, not "future-proof".
The components in all their shiny boxy-ness (not everything made the final cut)
If money was no object we'd all have the most amazing high-end parts, and play every game at ultra settings with hundreds of frames per second (well, except at 4K). Of course most of us have limits, but the time and skill required to assemble a system with as little cash as possible can result in something that's actually a lot more rewarding (and impressive) than just throwing a bunch of money at top-shelf components.
The theme of this article is good enough, as in, don't spend more than you have to. I don't want this to sound like a bad thing. And if along the way you discover a bargain, or a part that overperforms for the price, even better!
Yet Another AM1 Story?
We've been talking about the AMD AM1 platform since its introduction, and it makes a compelling case for a low cost gaming PC. With the "high-end" CPU in the lineup (the Athlon 5350) just $60 and motherboards in the $35 range, it makes sense to start here. (I actually began this project with the Sempron 3820 as well, but it just wasn't enough for 1080p gaming by a long shot so the test results were quickly discarded.) But while the 5350 is an APU, I didn't end up testing it without a dedicated GPU. (Ok, I eventually did but it just can't handle 1080p.)
But this isn't just a story about AM1 after all. Jumping right in here, let's look at the result of my research (and mounting credit card debt). All prices were accurate as I wrote this, but are naturally prone to fluctuate:

MSI provides mobile gaming power for those who can't make do with a tablet

Gaming laptops are attractive to some users, who are willing to pay the premium to have a system which can play the latest games and is still somewhat portable. MSI has been providing these users with solid products over the years and has recently updated their product line with the GT70 Limited Dragon Edition. One of the best features of this laptop is the screen, proper 1920 x 1080 screens are all too rare on laptops. Inside you will find an octo-core Core i7 3630QM, a GTX 675, 8GB DDR3 and even a KillerNIC, enough to get you playing Far Cry 3 in style. The backlit keyboard features a GPU Turbo boost key and a Cooler boost key which should probably both be used at the same time. In fact the only things that MadShrimps would have like to see changed is a different type of SSD and an IPS display instead of the TN that MSI used.
"In recent 2 years, MSI did not focus on the Ultrabook series as many other brands, they mainly focused on high performance of Gaming series Notebooks, that makes MSI to become a well known gaming products company in the market, also shows how important of the Gaming related market."

Samsung's off kilter 27" LED LCD
Subject: Displays | November 29, 2012 - 01:56 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: T27B750, Samsung, led lcd, 27, 1080p
The look of the Samsung T27B750 is certainly unique, though the size and shape of the footprint may turn out to be inconvenient for some desks. On the other hand it does more than you would expect from your monitor, it has integrated WiFi, internet apps, a built-in browser as well as speakers and it even comes with a remote control. The connectivity is a little questionable as well, there are HDMI, DisplayPort and DSub but it lacks a DVI input which seems odd, though it can be worked around. It is too bad that the display is only 1080p and Tweaknews would have preferred that it be a 120Hz display to support 3D, however it does make a decent jack of all trades.
"With the line between monitors and fully functional TVs becoming blurred with every model release and the ever expanding size of mainstream monitors for home consumers, your average household is rapidly turning to an all in one solution to save space and increase the overall value of their single purchase."

Asus VG278HE Is 27" 1080p, 144 Hz Gaming Monitor
Subject: Displays | July 26, 2012 - 11:17 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tn monitor, nvidia, monitor, asus, 3d vision 2, 144hz, 1080p
ASUS has a new 27" desktop monitor that should be hitting shelves soon. The VG278HE is an LED-backlit TN display with 1920x1080p resolution. So far, the specs are fairly lackluster, especially considering it is a 27" monitor. What is impressive about the display is the refresh rate. At 144 Hz, it offers up some promising 3D benefits, and as such it is compatible with NVIDIA's 3D Vision 2 technology (the necessary glasses and transmitter are sold separately).
For 3D, the 144 Hz refresh rate means that you can get 72 Hz per eye, which should make it a much smoother experience that cuts down on flicker. It also suggests benefits for 2D gamers as well, because you can enable V-Sync to reducing tearing and still get respectable frame rates. Sure, 240 hertz would be really nice, but at least this is a step in the right direction for desktop monitors that seem to be perpetually stuck at 1080p resolutions (unless you go Korean, of course – as Josh would put it). The TN panel and resolution are drawbacks, but depending on price this may still be a good buy. Unfortunately, there is no word yet on pricing or availability according to Flat Panels HD.
Other features of the monitor include a swivel, tilt, and height-adjustable stand, and HDMI, DVI, and VGA video inputs. Further, the monitor offers up two three watt speakers – and better yet – a headphone jack to connect powered speakers or headphones to. (At least that's the reported spec, I hope that it's not simply an input like my ASUS monitor has).
Personally, I think that I would rather have a higher resolution monitor than one with a faster refresh rate, but it seems to be a highly debated topic. I'm interesting in what you think. Which do you prefer, resolution or refresh rate (3D aside)?
Granted, as Ken reported earlier this month, if you are lucky you may be able to get the best of both worlds and snag an overclockable IPS monitor – but you'll pay for the privilege.
A passive 60Hz 3D monitor from AOC
Subject: Displays | June 19, 2012 - 04:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: 3d vision, AOC, d2357Ph, passive 3d, 1080p, led backlight
The AOC d2357Ph has a nice array of inputs, D-Sub, DVI-D/HDMI, Composite, Component S-Video and Display Port are all present which will allow you to use this on almost any system. On the other hand as it is a passive 3D monitor and not a 120Hz display, which R&B Mods refers to as 'poor man's 3D' and while it does offer 3D it is not as impressive as active solutions. 2D picture quality was quite good, with a minimum of backbleed and the screen is physically quite thin which could be an advantage for some users. Check out the full review for more information.
"3D is the latest trend and today we are looking at a 3D screen from AOC; who is also one of our new sponsors. AOC's d2357Ph is an incredibly thin monitor with LED backlighting, a Full HD resolution and the ability to display passive 3D images. What kind of 3D quality can we expect from it? Stay tuned and we will figure it out."

HP's 2311xi, a cheap IPS monitor currently on sale for a low price
Subject: Displays | May 30, 2012 - 03:05 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: led backlight, ips display, HP 2311xi, 1080p
HP's 2311xi e-IPS monitor is LED-backlit and has a native resolution of 1920x1080, giving you much better viewing angles than more commonly found TN displays, though it does sacrifice refresh rate making this display less attractive to gamers. Overall it seems somehow behind the times, while it has HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs HP left out DisplayPort which is becoming more commonly used on both graphics cards and prebuilt machines. TechReviewSource also describes it as having limited adjustment capabilities which is likely to frustrate professional users. Overall it seems that HP could have done a better job on this $200+ monitor, though HP is currently selling it with an $80 rebate making it a bit more attractive.
"The HP 2311xi isn't your typical 23-inch LED monitor. It has an extremely wide viewing angle, a beautiful IPS display and lots of connections that include HDMI. It is a full 1080p HD display that provides a very good looking image but it lacks ergonomic adjustments."

AOC Will Show Off USB Powered 22 Inch LED Monitor At CES
Subject: Displays | January 5, 2012 - 10:49 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: monitor, led, display, CES, AOC, 1080p
CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, is not until next week, but the tsunami of information and products that is sure to ensue has already started to rise in the form of leaks and teaser announcements. First off today is an announcement by AOC on a product that they will be showing off at CES. According to Maximum PC, the monitor, dubbed the e2251Fwu, will be pretty impressive by USB monitor standards.
Specifically, the monitor will be a 22 inch, LED back-lit monitor powered and connected to the PC for video via USB. It is HDCP compatible, sports a 1920x1080 resolution, 5ms response time, and 250 cd/m2 (candela per square metre) brightness, The monitor claims a 20,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, though comparing contrast ratios isn't very reliable (but that's another story). Unfortuantely, I wasn't able to dig up much more information from around the web. It will be interesting to see just how much latency the USB connection will add and whether it will be close to the panel's 5ms response time.
Further, the monitor is slated to be available in February for just under 200 bucks. For those of you that have tried out USB connected displays, how well do they work as secondary monitors?

HD Projectors are fun, 3D HD projectors more so
Subject: Displays | December 7, 2011 - 02:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: 3d display, projector, 1080p, optima, optima hd33
In the interests of dispensing with the bad news first, buying an Optima HD33 3D projector will set you back $1500 and does not come with glasses. On the other hand, thanks to the Texas Instruments 1080p DLP chipset you get full HD resolution image of up to 300" (aka 25') at 1800 ANSI Lumens. It is active 3D so the projector ships with an RF emitter for the necessary 3D glasses, which are battery powered. Techware Labs found that the batteries would last about 2 hours before they started to show problems, at that point requiring a 30 minute recharge time over a USB cable. It supports all HDMI 1.4a mandatory 3D formats, so you have your choice of 3D glasses to purchase which is good as the projector does not ship with 3D glasses in the box. Optoma sells the BG-ZD101 DLP Link 3D Glasses separately for about $75 each.
Didn't I see this in a recent game sequel?
"Optoma's HD33 projector which is a full 3D 1080P projector gets reviewed by TechwareLabs. Through a full 90 day review we were very impressed with the Optoma HD33 projector and were very reluctant to ship it back. The Optoma is a very well designed, very bright and sharp projection. The very simple option and use made the setup and usage ever so simple. All you need is a wall big enough to project on and 3D content."

'Dragon Ball Super' Movie: Details of Toriyama's work revealed
DB Room Chief Iyoku reveals details of Toriyama's work in 'Dragon Ball Super' movie.
Interesting details on the upcoming movie titled "Dragon Ball Super" have been recently revealed by one of the top guys working on the film. Since March 25, fans of the hit anime TV series have been feeling empty and sad because of its absence. Toei Animation has since hyped the upcoming movie by releasing tidbits of information to the fandom. While the first-ever trailer has already debuted, it appears that it triggered more speculations than enlightenment. Interestingly, DB Room Chief Akio Iyoku recently revealed fascinating information that unveiled the details of Akira Toriyama's involvement in the movie.
How much of the movie is Toriyama?
The official website of "Dragon Ball Super," recently released "Dragon Ball: Movie Frontline." This will feature the freshest information about the upcoming animated film, including interviews with the staff. As the first in the series of these interviews, DB Room Chief Akio Iyoku graced the website and revealed how involved the legendary creator Akira Toriyama is with the movie. On the social networking site, Twitter, fan-favorite anime content creator and translator Herms translated into English the interview.
According to Iyoku-san, Toriyama initially provided the story in May 2017 when it was officially decided that the movie would focus on the Saiyans.
However, the legendary creator was worried because he finds the story too short. Several adjustments were made and it turned out to be a lengthy one. Toriyama-san delivered 20 sheets of machine designs and characters. The chief reveals that the creator also provided at least one new planet. Akira Toriyama also personally chose animator Naohiro Shintani to handle the character design.
The creator preferred an artist who could draw according to his preferences. He wants to make sure that the creator designer understands how to perfectly provide balance to the character's body while wearing a martial arts costume.
According to Dragon Room chief Akio Iyoku, the DBS movie will have a "multilayered" story with parts set in both the past and present, and multiple settings. Toriyama's provided the story and over 20 sheets of designs, including characters, machines, and at least one new planet. https://t.co/jKWpCv76pn— Todd Blankenship (@Herms98) April 29, 2018
Aside from the details of Toriyama's involvement, Chief Akio Iyoku also shares the settings of the upcoming movie.
He reveals that the story will take place in the past, present, and in multiple settings. Fans are excited, knowing that it has a refreshing take on the timeline of the franchise. The setting could also be linked to the possibility that Son Goku might face a new breed of Saiyans. It is also possible that one of his opponents could be frozen in ice and was thawed and awakened.
The upcoming animated movie "Dragon Ball Super" is scheduled to hit theaters in Japan on December 14, 2018. Fans are expecting that it will be simultaneously released worldwide.
However, this has yet to be officially confirmed.

Harry Houdini | The Life of Harry Houdini: Mr Harry Houdini was born on March 24, 1874, in Budapest, Hungary, with the original name of Ehrich Weisz. He was 1 of 6 children and the son of Rabbi Mayer Weisz and his 2nd wife, Cecilia Steiner. In 1876, Mayer Weisz immigrated to the U.s., with the dream of a better life. He discovered work as a rabbi and changed his last name to "Weiss". In 1876, the remainder of the family joined him in the U.S.
Life of Harry Houdini:
The family shifted to Milwaukee when Ehrich was 8 years old. During his early years, Ehrich sold newspapers and shined shoes to help support the family. On October 28, 1883, nine-year-old Ehrich made his 1st appearance on stage, performing a trapeze act. He billed himself as "The Ehrich, the Prince of Air." At 12, Ehrich hopped a freight car and ran away from home. A year later she returned to NYC and continued to help his family by working as a messenger, photography assistant, and necktie cutter. Nothing is known to anyone of his year away from his family.
Did you know? Leonardo Da Vinci was homeschooled and lacked a formal education in Greek and Latin.
About this time, Ehrich and his sibling Theo began to pursue an involvement in magic. As a platform name, Ehrich Weiss became Harry Houdini by adding a ìiî to the last name of his beloved idol, French magician Robert Houdin. Harry is simply an Americanized variant of his nickname, Ehrie.
Harry Houdini Career:
At the age of 17, Ehrich, now known as Harry Houdini, left his house and family to pursue his career in magic. By the age of 20 years, Harry had been playing small acts throughout NYC. He soon married and joined a circus where he began to grow and perfect his escape tricks.
Through the years, Houdini gained popularity after repeatedly escaping from jails and police handcuffs. Harry was even given certificates from several guards for escaping from their prisons. After making his name in America, Harry voyaged Europe, where he expanded his repertoire by escaping from coffins and straitjackets. Eventually, Harry was able to achieve his dream of having a full show dedicated to his magic.
Did you know? Alexander the Great was concurrently the King of Macedonia, Pharaoh of Egypt, King of Persia, and King of Asia.
As a Movie Actor:
In his later years, Harry took his skill to the film arena, where he both acted and started his film laboratory called The Film Development Corporation. Years later, Harry would receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Also, Harry showed attention in the field of aviation and was the first person to ever fly over Australian soil.
Did you know? JFK bought 1,200 Cuban cigars just hours before signing the embargo against Cuba. For JFK Facts click here
The Occult:
In the 1920s, Harry became involved in the occult, specifically in debunking mediums and psychics. His training in magic helped him expose tricks that scientists and academics could not. He chronicled his time reviewing the occult in his book, A Magician Among the Spirits.
Harry Houdini's Death:
In 1926 Houdini died as a consequence of a ruptured appendix, after suffering a blow to the abdomen by a University student J. Gordon Whitehead. Houdini declined to seek medical help and continued to travel, eventually succumbing to peritonitis on October 24, 1926, at the age of 52.
Did you know? George Washington penned somewhere between 18,000 and 20,000 letters in his lifetime.

How about a career in tech? Here, you're staring at a situation where you get to instruct machines to do all the hard work for you, like Bill Gates. Or better still, set up a multimillion business out of thin air like Mark Zuckerberg. If that sounds like your thing, you are in the right place.
Learning how to program or fix computers on your own is one thing, and taking instructions from experienced and connected tutors is another. So, here are the benefits of attending a tech college.
High employment rate
As a college graduate with hands-on experience, you'll enjoy the benefit of having certifications plus a portfolio to write home about. And if you present yourself professionally, the only thing standing between you and that job is the technical interview.
Career focused training
When choosing a college, try to find out their approach to tech. Is it hands-on or is it mostly theory? Here, you are looking for something that will get you to the job ready status. If you get this right, your college experience and career choice will be a thing you'll thank your younger self for – when you finally start raking in some good money.
So many options
The tech scene is surprisingly broad; you cannot possibly learn everything. That's why colleges have decided to split it into bite-sized fields in a bid to maintain sanity – from Artificial intelligence to network engineering; it seems that people in tech have so many options. So take a good look around before signing that dotted line.
