Samsung Released 18 Inch Smartphone [Picture & Specs]

Samsung has recently announced the Samsung Galaxy View, a “tablet” which has probably one of the biggest screens in the market today. As everybody is going huge in screens in tablet and tablet-like devices– quite like the Apple iPad Pro and the Microsoft Surface devices– Samsung is determined to give everybody a taste of their own tablet device with a massive display. The Galaxy View is all of 18.4 inches and, in theory, should give you and your family a lot of entertainment time.

This is the purpose of the Samsung Galaxy View, a tablet device distinctly marketed for its entertainment and media uses. The ginormous 18.4-inch Full HD (1080p) display should take care of great and vibrant
images. That will be powered by a yet unnamed 1.6Ghz octa-core processor, supported by 2GB RAM. You can purchase this huge tablet in 16GB and 32GB internal storage variants, but there is a microSD slot for expansion.
Being literally too big to carry around, this will not work as a device you bring with you every day. Samsung recommends that this device will live in your house, a media hub for your family. The device runs a version of Android 5.1 Lollipop, and has webcam and communication features as well.
The 5,700mAh battery should give you around 8 hours of usage, at least that’s what Samsung tells us. It also has its own speakers, although quite naturally, you may want to pair this with your Bluetooth speaker system at home. There’s a NANO sim slot for LTE connectivity, and all the usual WiFi connectivity provisions. No news on the pricing yet but we guarantee this will not come cheap. 
This Tab is bigger than most of your Tv.. Lol

Six-year-old girl beats the odds after being born with her heart outside her chest



“When I was pregnant, the doctor said she will not survive, that she is going to die,” Dari Borun, the girl’s mother, said.
The remarkable girl defied the odds set against her and lives, for the most part, like any other girl.
"I like to draw Jesus, ponies and angels,” Virsaviya said. “I don't go to the school and I don't go to the ballet but I want to do it at home."

Borun said she found a surgeon in Boston able to treat her daughter, but the cost prevents her from pursuing it.
“It's gonna be expensive for sure and I tried to work with social worker and she said we don't have opportunity to apply for insurance,” she said. 
An NBC 6 story on Borun and her inspiring little girl was shared millions of times following its intial airing, prompting many throughout their community to reach out and help.
An anonymous donor even reached out to the station and offered to cover the remainder of Virsaviya’s fundraising goal.
“I don't have a family here. It's just me and Virsaviya, but now I feel like I have a family because a lot of people just caring about us. They love us. They want to help,” Borun said. 
Though funds are being raised to help the girl receive treatment, she is currently unable to undergo surgery.
“She can't get it because of her high blood pressure and pulmonary arteries. So if it goes down, if she will feel better, they're going to check her in two years,” Borun explained.
At the moment, the mother is concerned with covering basic treatment as well as living expenses for herself and her daughter.

Despite the challenges, Virsaviya said it’s the heart that keeps her and her mother going.
“My mom always told me that she loves my heart and I really like it,” she said. 


Oil thieves jailed for 84 yrs

Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday convicted seven men to 84 years imprisonment for illegal and unlawful dealing in 1,459 metric tonnes of petrol. The court sentenced each of the convicts to a jail term of 12 years each starting Friday after they were all found guilty of the five count charge preferred against them.
The convicts are; Adedamola Ogungbayi; Olaniran Olabode; Suraju Gasali; Moses Emmanuel; Wilson Bonsi; Okaraodi Uche and Onyeogo Happy. Apart from the jail term, Justice Abang also  ordered the forfeiture of the vessel, ‘MT Good Success’, used by the convicts in stealing the said petroleum product, as well as the recovered petroleum product to the Federal Government.

The judge also ordered the forfeiture of the sums of N66.6m and $975,000 which belonged to the convicts’ company, Hepa Global Energy Limited, domiciled with the First City Monument Bank to the Federal Government.
The convicts, were arraigned alongside their vessel and company on August 28, 2014 on five counts alongside one Padoun Jacob, who was discharged and acquitted by the court. The judge, in setting Jacob free on all the five counts, described him as a desperate job seeker, who became a victim of circumstances.

Couple who met online on an ESPN website get married

Kate Queram was also an avid commenter on ESPN’s Big Ten blog. She didn’t live in a basement, but they were both huge Michigan fans. Not to mention, they were both University of Michigan alums.
Despite the similarities, Kate and Brandon never knew each other before meeting in the comment section and becoming known as the “Blog Couple” to all the other commenters out there.

According to ESPN, Kate tells them that Brandon was the only one to not accuse her of being “a middle-aged man in a basement somewhere.”
“If she was a middle-aged man, she was a middle-aged man who could make me laugh all the time,” Brandon admits. “I figured I’d take my chances.”
 
 They talked online for about six months before Brandon hopped in his car and drove 12 hours from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Wilmington, North Carolina to see her. His friend, Tom Brady (not the football star), joked that Brandon drove all that way because he was “anxious to find out if she was indeed a middle-aged man” or not.

Kate opened her door to find Brandon visibly shaking on her doorstep from the nerves, but it was a “very cute” shaking as Kate describes it.
“Definitely worth it,” he remembers.
Things moved very quickly for Brandon and Kate. After meeting in person for the first time, they made it a point to visit every three or four weeks over the summer. They both admit that they realized their relationship was the real deal very early on, which is why Brandon found a job in North Carolina that “was good for his career.”
Although his brother, Ryan, will tell you that Brandon really took the job to be closer to Kate.
“It was love at first type,” as Kate’s friend describes it.
From there, the rest is, well, a win. On October 24, 2015, Kate and Brandon married. They carefully chose a date when Michigan’s football team would have a bye week.

They call their love story the best there ever was, but what’s really great about it is that Brandon and Kate “genuinely bring out the best in one another.”

Photos: Will the real Leonardo DiCaprio please stand up!

People on the internet are going crazy after realizing that a guy from Sweden looks nearly identical to actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Konrad Annerud is a regular 21-year-old bartender from Sweden but if you look closely you will notice that he looks a lot like a younger version of Leonardo.

Annerud said: “I get to hear that I look like him quite often, especially since I work as a bartender in a nightclub.” “It’s fun to look like him, I mean, he’s handsome”. Then he added that: "It can be quite annoying sometimes when people call me 'Leo' instead of my real name.”

Jaden Smith says 'being born was the most influential thing that has happened' to him

17-year-old Jaden Smith's (son to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith) went on yet another bizarre rant after being named for the second year in a row as one of Time’s Most Influential Teens, Jaden said;
“Being born was the most influential thing that’s ever happened to me. As far as people, what they think is influential, like I said, the thing that you can make the most of and laugh at the most is whatever would be the most influential to the pop culture of the world. When they don’t understand something, they’re afraid of it, and if they don’t understand it, they don’t accept it or like it.” he said
He added:
“There’s been so many things we don’t understand like Galileo saying the Earth is not the center of the universe, it’s actually the sun that we revolve around. Everybody thought that he was crazy! People don’t understand the level of science that he was putting forth into society. You can’t blame these people that don’t understand.”
"People didn't understand the level of science that he was putting forth into society. You can’t blame these people that don’t understand.’
This isn’t the first time Jaden has compared himself to Galileo. Earlier this month, he said the same thing to GQ after revealing that it’s “fun” to make people’s heads spin.
