'Remove Your Cassock and Join Politics; Aso Rock Bomb Rev. Fr Mamza over rudeness to Buhari
The Presidency on Monday lashed back at the Catholic Bishop of Yola Diocese, Rt. Rev. Fr. Stephen Mamza, who unguardedly had described President Muhammadu Buhari as "sleeping on duty as Commander-in-Chief."
Malam Garba Shehu, the President's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, said the comment was unbecoming of a religious leader, to engage "in an action that broke the old tradition of staying above politics".
The presidential aide not only described the comment unfair, but also went further to educate him on President Buhari's various efforts to improve the state of affairs in Nigeria, particularly in the North east, ravaged by Boko Haram before May 29, 2015.
Shehu said: "In an action that broke the old tradition of staying above politics, the Catholic Bishop of Yola Diocese, Rt. Rev. Fr. Stephen Mamza delivered a homily in which he spoke angrily against President Muhammadu Buhari, whom he described as 'sleeping on duty as Commander-in-Chief.'
"This is not a fair comment.
"There is so much that has changed in the past three to four years in and around Yola, and the Catholic Church in particular that a true assessment would show that but for the Change Administration of President Buhari, things would have continued the way they were, or even get worse. These could not have happened if a Commander-in- Chief was asleep."
Shehu, however, noted that Mamza was part of the success story recorded by the Buhari administration in Northeast, especially in Adamawa.
"Bishop Mamza was, and is still a strong member of the Adamawa Peace Initiative (API), composed of religious and community leaders which did the lovely work housing and feeding 400,000 displaced people from Northern Adamawa and Borno States in 2015.
"The API also did the extraordinary work of easing tensions between Muslims and Christians during that period and ensured that both groups did not turn on one another based on suspicion.
"As widely reported by the local and international press, in the premises of St. Theresa's Cathedral where Rev. Mamza ministered, there were more than 1,500 IDPs, mostly women and children on whom the church administered food rations and issued bags of maize, cooking oil and seasoning.
"We are truly touched and very grateful for the work that the Bishop and the others had done in that difficult period," he said.
The presidential spokesman maintained that as "the Boko Haram has been degraded, the more than 400,000 displaced people absorbed by the Adamawa community have all gone back to Borno State and to those council areas in northern Adamawa.
"In addition to the capital,Yola, the towns of Michika, Madagali and Mubi which had been occupied by Boko Haram during their military advances have since been retaken by the Nigerian military".
According to him, the military personnel are also clearing litters of Boko Haram's carnage and are, through the support of the administration as well as local and international partners, rebuilding roads and bridges, power lines, burnt schools, markets, destroyed churches and mosques.
"Without an iota of doubt, the Northeast is better off with President Buhari than it was under the previous administration.
"That should explain the massive turnout of voters in the region, in spite of threats to life and property, to vote for the return of the President for a Second Term of four years.
"Sadly, one of the realities of today's Nigeria is that it easy to blame President Buhari for the violence all around us," he added
Shehu condemned situations were community leaders were "too scared to blame the warlords and the sponsors of killings" because they fear for their own lives.
He said: "What is happening in several communities racked by inter-ethnic and religious violence is arising from the refusal of community leaders to point at known criminals in their midst for the law enforcement agencies to act against them.
"They rather blame President Buhari for their woes.
"It is indeed an irony that in the week that Bishop Mamza was speaking, another Bishop with a known commitment to peace, and results to show for his work in neighbouring Plateau State, is being dispatched to go to Taraba, Adamawa and Benue to work in collaboration with security agencies in mending broken inter-communal relationships."
While sympathising with families of those who lost loved ones as well as those injured, Shehu said this senseless violence could never be condoned by the Buhari administration.
He added that the administration's intense security efforts and peace building would not only continue, "but will expand in response to such explosions of violence in the country."

This is my first winter and I need to purchase a cover. This forum has taught me that it needs to be vented and fitted. I have a 32 foot Sunseeker 3170. Does anyone have a specific suggestion for a cover that they like and recommend. I was going to go to Camping World and see what they have since they are close by. Thanks.
Use lots of extra straps both transverse and longitudinal (fed/aft and across). This will produce small open squares spaces the wind cannot ravage.
Camping World is a good choice as they warranted the first failed cover. I found 20' straps Iin Odd Lot. Lot cheaper than new cover!
Remember to put something over the rain spouts otherwise the spouts may damage your cover.
We got one by Eevelle. I think it was the gold line. Paid about $560 on Amazon. It seems like good quality. No problems.
I also put a tennis ball on the genny tail pipe .


Octavian Postolache, IEEE IMS Distinguished Lecturer, delivered a lecturer at the 10th edition of the International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering, ATEE 2017 in Bucharest, March 23-25, 2017.
ATEE is organized by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (http://www.atee.pub.ro), since 1996.

Prof. Octavian Postolache, from Portugal, honoured the ATEE event as invited IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Distinguished Lecturer. His lecture, titled Tailored Environments for Physiotherapy Assessment in the Internet of Things Era, was presented in a plenary session and was well received by participants.
Following an already established tradition for joint actions, the Chapters meeting took place in the afternoon of March 23. Prof. Alexandru Mihail Morega (chair of the EMB Romanian Chapter) and Prof. Andrei Marinescu (former Chair of the EMC Romanian) presented brief reports and the action programs of the two Chapters. Prof. Mircea Eremia (President of the IEEE Romania Section) delivered a short speech on the current, retrospective, relevance, future goals and activities of the two Chapters.
Anno 2017 is special: 10 years and 15 years, respectively, since the foundation of the EMB and EMC National Chapters. The President presented the founders of the two chapters with Anniversary Diplomas. Congratulations to all the EMB and EMC national Chapters present and former members!

MESSINA 'A LA CARTE, half-day
Messina the third largest city on the island located near the northeast corner of Sicily, at the Strait of Messina, just opposite the mainland. Founded by Greek colonists in the 8th century BC, Messina was originally called Zancle a word meaning sickle and reflecting the unusual curved shape of the harbour. In the Norman period Messina became one of the most important centres in Sicily and the Church of Annunziata dei Catalani is a splendid exemple. The Duomo, dating back to the Norma age, was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1908: its lofty campanile, an amazing structure, contains an extraordinary mechanical clock with a series of picturesque tableaux and automatic figures which creates an amazing spectacle when midday strikes. The tour of the city include the Regional Museum showing masterpieces by Caravaggio's Nativity and The Raising of St Lazarus and by Antonello da Messina's The Polyptych of St Gregory.

MESSINA & MILAZZO, full-day
Milazzo's origins are ancient. Inhabited since 4000 BC (Neolithic) was ruled by the Greeks, the Carthaginians, the Romans then conquered by the Arabs who built here the first nucleus of the castle. Frederick II of Hohenstaufen further fortified the town and created here a personal hunting park. The castle was later mostly rebuilt in the age of Charles V of Spain. A walking tour of the historical district include the Arab-Swebian Castle, one of the largest in Europe in terms of size.
TAORMINA A' LA CARTE, half-day
There is a reason why Taormina is still named as "the pearl of Sicily".
As soon as you arrive in Taormina, you will feel the magical, mythical atmosphere spread all around which has enchanted visitors from all over the world for years and years. Settled on a hill of the Monte Tauro, Taormina dominates two grand, sweeping bays below and on the southern side, the top of Mount Etna, the highest European active volcano, often capped with snow, offering to the visitors a breathtaking, dramatic and memorable view over almost one hundred miles of Mediterranean sea.
Founded by colonists from Naxos, the ancient Tauromenion, Taormina continued to rank as one of the more important towns of Sicily after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It was taken by the Arabs in 902 after a siege of two years and the Muslim rule of the town lasted until 1078, when it was captured by the Norman count Roger I of Sicily. The town still retains much of its Medieval character intact.
Starting from the 19th century Taormina became a popular tourist resort in the whole of Europe: people who visited Taormina include Oscar Wilde, Nicholas I of Russia, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Nietzsche, Richard Wagner, D.H Lawrence, Truman Capote, Bertrand Russell and Tennessee Williams.
During the '50s and the '60s Taormina enjoyed La Dolce Vita with famous celebrities from all over the world.
the most remarkable monument remaining at Taormina is the Ancient Theatre, which is one of the most celebrated ruins in Sicily, on account both of its remarkable preservation and its beautiful location.
TAORMINA & CASTELMOLA, full-day
Settled on a hill of the Monte Tauro, Taormina dominates two grand, sweeping bays below and on the southern side, the top of Mount Etna, the highest European active volcano, often capped with snow, offering to the visitors a breathtaking, dramatic and memorable view over almost one hundred miles of Mediterranean sea.
Located 3 km north of Taormina, Castelmola derives its name from the Norman castle dominating over the center of town and from the shape of the rock on which it stands, which vaguely resembles a millstone ("mola"). A natural balcony above Taormina, the view from Castelmola is dazzlingly beautiful: from here one can see, among a myriad of prickly pear cactus, the majestic Mt. Etna with towns clinging to its slopes, the Ionian coast, the gulf of Giardini-Naxos, the Cape of Sant'Alessio, the straits of Messina and the Calabrian coast. Tiny streets cross and meet in the main square, revealing the medieval town.
Doors and windows are framed in the stone of Taormina, and the colors of houses vary from ocher to beige to antique pink, the sloping roofs are still covered with "Sicilian style" clay tiles, the street signs, the house numbers and shop signs are in stone and wrought iron.
Bar Turrisi nonchalantly displays its wooden and ceramic phalluses, in an surreal atmosphere that welcomes locals and foreigner of both genders. Stop here to taste a glass of their unusual almond wine.
MT ETNA & TAORMINA, full-day
Mt Etna is the biggest active volcano in Europe currently standing 3,329 m (10,922 ft) high, though this varies with summit eruptions. Due to its history of recent activity and nearby population, Mount Etna has been designated a Decade Volcano by the United Nations.
We will drive along the foothill of the volcano to reach an altitude of 1,810 meters in an area called "Piano Provenzana" warped by the lava flow from the eruption on October 27, 2002.
Proceed to Taomina, the pearl of Sicily. Founded by colonists from Naxos, the ancient Tauromenion, Taormina continued to rank as one of the more important towns of Sicily after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It was taken by the Arabs in 902 after a siege of two years and the Muslim rule of the town lasted until 1078, when it was captured by the Norman count Roger I of Sicily. The town still retains much of its Medieval character intact.
During the '50s and the '60s Taormina enjoyed La Dolce Vita with famous celebrities from all over the world. the most remarkable monument remaining at Taormina is the Ancient Theatre, which is one of the most celebrated ruins in Sicily, on account both of its remarkable preservation and its beautiful location.
MT ETNA DISCOVERY & TOP BOUTIQUE WINERY, full-day
From here we go up to 2,800 meters of altitude with special off-road buses (optional) following a track laced with vast, suggestive extents of lava and black lava sand along the chasms which opened during the eruption of 2002. At arrival, when the weather is fine and sky is clear it is possible to admire this extraordinary panorama that only Mt Etna can offer: the splendid mountains of the Peloritani, the Nebrodi and those of Madonie, the perimeters of which are surrounded by the Jonic and Tyrrhenian coastline, from the Syracuse to the mainland Calabria. At this altitude Mt. Etna offers one of the most breathtaking views in all the world! It is possible to observe, in the context of a typical lunar landscape, dominated by the Northern Crater, and on a clear day, from this point it is possible to appreciate the Leone and Bove Valleys below. The Bove Valley extends from north to south for about 8 Km, and from east to west for about 5 Km.
Proceed to top boutique winery set on the north-eastern side of the Etna volcano, in the woods of the National Park and facing the sea of Taormina, representing one of the best models of Etna vineyards of high altitude: in an exclusive natural environment, at 900 meters above sea level, the vineyards lay on sunny and airy terracing that have a breathtaking panorama. At the highest altitudes the changes of temperature between night and day (which are considerable, up to 13-15°C in July and August) allow a phenol and aromatic ripening that is essential for the colour and taste of the red grapes and for the aroma of the white wines. Furthermore, the volcanic ground is very rich in mineral salts which supplies an equilibrated sugar content of the grapes and a proper relation between acids and alcohol. Their wines convey two different aspect of Sicilian oenology: the volcanic soil gives regional vines such us Nero d'Avola and Inzolia the perfect condition to ripen and to create soft, tannic sweet wins to be enjoyed young. The distinctive environment of Mt Etna and from the use of autoctone vines such as Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante derive fresh and elegant wines.

They are knowledgeable, they can introduce you to gastronomy, wineries, traditions, Sicilian legends, teaching you some phrases of Sicilian dialect but they are not licensed guide and cannot escort you into monuments or archaeological sites (they can be heavily fined for this).
- Driver Guides are licensed chauffeurs who are also licensed guides according to the Italian and Sicilian Laws about Tourism and tourist services. Please, distrust all who introduce themselves saying that a driver escort is the same of a driver guide because it is not so. We suggest you to ask for their license as official guides. If they do not provide you so, they are out of law.
- Licensed Tourist Guides are the only professionals (provided with a Regional license) permitted to conduct visits and tours in all sites and museums within a city. To become a Licensed Tourist Guide in Sicily candidates must pass an examination given by the local tourist authorities to assess and test their knowledge of the cisty in terms of its history and geography, its art and architecture, its museums and art galleries, churches, its environs and cultural feature. As part of the requirements, candidates must also prove their knowledge of each of the foreign languages they applied for with oral and written tests.

Today, We will be looking at how to choose the best wireless keyboard based on your preferences and budget. We will help you find the Best Wireless Keyboard for Samsung Smart Tv
5 Best Wireless Keyboard for Samsung Smart Tv – Round UP
1. Logitech K830
2. Rii i8+
3. Microsoft Wireless 900
4. Logitech k600 TV
Types of Wireless Keyboards
7 Considerations to Take
A common accessory accompanying the Samsung Smart TVs is the remote which is provided for navigating through the options in the TV. While, it can do the job, most often than not navigating with a remote turns out to be a tedious task because of limited number of buttons and difficulty in typing the characters. This is why we have compiled a list of the ten best Samsung Smart TV compatible keyboard.
In the end we leave you with a buyers' guide to help you decide on the best wireless keyboard for Samsung smart tv as per your needs. So, let's dive in.
If you're looking for a Bluetooth keyboard packed with features, look no further than the Logitech K830. This keyboard works not only with Bluetooth, but also comes with an RF receiver if you want to use it that way too.
The device boasts a compact and sleek appearance. It measures at 14.4" x 4.9" x 0.65." It weighs a merely 17.5 oz.
The keyboard makes use of a QWERTY layout along with low profile keys. Its small size has no number pad. But on a positive note, the K830 offers a functioning touchpad on the right area, as well as left-right mouse buttons.
Right on top of the touchpad are three hot keys with volume controls. These are contain a mute, volume up, and volume down downs. The upper row keys contain secondary feature tasks such as closing down windows, blowing up the desktop, pausing/playing, and searching media content. The top portion of the device contains a micro USB (for charging purposes), a power switch, and a left mouse button. This is particularly important when the K830 is being held up.
The K830 functions via Logitech's very own wireless connectivity system to its small "Unifying Receiver" or dongle. The dongle plugs directly into the USB socket. Its communications systems is Bluetooth and can't be openly used with other Bluetooth devices.
The keyboard's receiver is capable of supporting a maximum of six compatible Logitech keyboards and mice. That means having the ability to add more devices without relying on additional USB sockets. This will come in handy if a user prefers using a mouse as opposed to a trackpad. A majority of the manufacturer's wireless devices function in this manner.
A standard USB charger will do the job if the user wants to retain the keyboard's backlight for extended periods. A micro USB-B cable and a 1.5m USB extension cable can be used with the K830. This is due to most TVs with USB sockets that are concealed by the TV body, which can hamper communications. Logitech indicated its wireless system to have a maximum range of ten meters.
The keyboard is slightly smaller than what many would perceive it as. As a matter of fact, it's a bit smaller with its dimensions being around 95% of its height and weight. To keep things compact, Logitech converted the main tasks of its function keys into controls and shortcuts
The trackpad was about as effective as they usually are, and it supports two fingers scrolling and swiping, plus two fingered pinching and stretching apart for changing the zoom level of zoomable things, such as photos and the web browser and the size of documents in Office programs. A light tap on it doubles as a left click, and a light two-fingered tap is a right click.
The software allows for the function keys can be toggled between standard PC functions and media functions by ticking a check box at the bottom of the first screen after the software is opened. Another notable feature of this program is that it provides a very quick graphical representation of the battery state of the K830.
The Logitech K830 keyboard is a tremendous accessory for your home entertainment setup. It provides you with the ability to easily control your media player from the comfort of your couch without the need of having to configure a universal remote control.
For those looking for a nice, compact keyboard for their Samsung Smart TV, check out the Rii i8+. This keyboard packs a lot of features and functionality into a small package. The i8+ is great for those who don't plan on using their keyboard a whole lot.
Rii i8+ Mini
This compact selection includes an entire QWERTY keyboard, along with an RF receiver you can plug into your television. There are a pair of D-pad controls, one on each side of the keyboard, along with a multi-gesture trackpad.
The Rii i8+ Mini Wireless Keyboard comes in two versions, which unfortunately I did not notice until after I ordered one. One uses 2.4Ghz radio frequencies with a small adapter, and the other is Bluetooth 4.0 and no adapter. I picked up the 2.4GHz one, which is by far the most popular although the Bluetooth 4.0 has piqued my interest and I may grab that for comparison.
It should also be noted that this keyboard is White label device. That means you will find many keyboards that look the same but have a different name (and sometimes different prices). How that all works is beyond me, but as far as I know there should not really be quality or feature differences between them. It sports 92 backlit keys around a QWERTY layout, a multi-touch trackpad, and is a mere 1.6 ounces. The 2.4Ghz version that I got relies on a USB dongle to connect to your computer, and it handily stores in the back of the device.
One of my favorite things to discover was how all the function keys mapped to Windows 10. For instance, the play button maps to Groove and Search engages Cortana. The mapped buttons make the Rii feel more like a remote control for your PC than a standard keyboard.
Speaking of, I really enjoy typing on the Rii i8+. There is ample key travel, and the whole device feels great in the hand due to its being so light and the soft-touch coating. Unfortunately, there are no nubs on the F or J keys, which would help you to type without looking at the keyboard, which means you will likely have to type blindly with the Rii. Then again, you really shouldn't be buying the Rii to type out multi-page term papers anyway.
Overall, using the Rii on Windows 10 was a joy as it made using the Compute Stick more like an appliance than a full PC. The shortcut keys help to launch important apps instantly, and the play, pause, mute, and volume controls make it seem more like a TV remote than a standard keyboard. Toss in the extreme lightness (seriously, it feels like a hollow dummy unit) and the soft-touch paint and it's a winner.
Tapping on the trackpad area is also not bad. It is not super sensitive, so you really need to give it a good tap, but the action does not feel too exaggerated either. Combined with the one-finger navigation and I was launching apps, closing them, etc. like a pro. While not the most precise or elegant mouse experience, it was, as I mention, better than expected.
The trackpad is even worse than on Windows 10. It was so bad that I almost gave up on using it (luckily, in Continuum the phone's display can act as a superb trackpad). I am not sure why there is a such a difference in performance between Windows 10 for PC and Windows 10 Continuum, but there is one. Moving a cursor across the screen takes four full swipes — it works, and in a pinch it will do, but a real mouse will be a much better experience.
I have seen complaints that the signal between the keyboard and dongle can drop with only short distances. I did not experience this problem and in fact was able to type 25 feet away through walls with no issue. However, being a 2.4Ghz signal I could see wireless interference cropping up and causing issues for people in certain conditions — for some it won't be an issue, for others it will ruin the experience.
For a more traditional wireless keyboard for your smart TV, check out the Microsoft Wireless 900. This full-featured keyboard comes with a mouse/keyboard combo, which gives you all the functionality you would get with a typical desktop mouse and keyboard setup.
The Wireless 900 Keyboard (it also comes with a mouse too) is an entry level peripheral that offers the basic features you would expect from a keyboard and not much else. The device, which is plastic, has quiet touch keys, USB plug and play functionality, and an average of a two-year battery life.
One unique feature that this keyboard does offer is encryption that helps protect your information by encoding your keystrokes. For those of you who are worried someone may try to sniff the communication channel between your PC and the keyboard, this will offer a little bit of peace of mind. Although, if you are truly that paranoid, you are likely using a wired keyboard anyway.
The media keys on this keyboard are located above the number pad but I much prefer them to be over the letters as you have to take your fingers off of the home row to reach them.
There are two options for height on the keyboard, you can keep the legs closed and use the keyboard in a flat arrangement or extend the legs to have it slanted towards you while you type. Again, nothing too out of the ordinary here but does give you some flexibility.
The mouse is about as basic as it gets but for those looking for a simple solution, it gets the job done. Movements are accurate and responsive; simply put, the mouse works.
One thing to be aware of, and it's really not that big of a deal, is the USB receiver for the desktop is 'large'. For those of you who used to the micro USB wireless connectors the come with other keyboards, the one that comes with this keyboard is about twice that size.
in your hand, the mouse is comfortable and responsive; no issues with any sort of input lag. During my use I have no major complaints, it's a mobile mouse and it works as intended.
As its name suggests, the Logitech K600 TV is built and designed to make your smart TV experience great again.
Since today's smart TVs are basically mini-computers hooked on a big-real-estate screen, Logitech K600 TV keyboard will make your smart TV the center of your "digital/online life" if one so inclined.
Logitech K600 TV
While most TV watchers should be perfectly happy with a regular remote control, there's a certain nerdy pleasure in bringing a full-sized keyboard and trackpad into the living room. This combo is better for typing out search terms and passwords, of course, but it also helps with browsing the web on the big screen, it makes home-theater PCs considerably more usable, and it lets you use extensive shortcuts with media-center software such as Kodi.
A tiny light on the keyboard will let you know that it's mapped the appropriate shortcut keys. Currently, the K600 works with LG WebOS TVs, Samsung Tizen TVs, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, MacOS, ChromeOS, iOS, and Windows.
The keyboard includes a USB dongle for connecting wirelessly to most devices, and while you can also connect the keyboard over Bluetooth, Logitech discourages you from doing so. There are no Bluetooth connection instructions in the box, so I had to hunt around online to discover that you must press and hold any of the three number buttons at the top of the keyboard to begin pairing.
Beyond the typical QWERTY keyboard layout, the K600 has a row of navigation buttons on the left for common TV functions such as home, back, menu, and search, along with left- and right mouse-click buttons. On the right side, there's a directional pad with a select button in the center, plus a circular trackpad that supports both tapping and clicking.
There's just one major problem: The K600 doesn't provide a good way to scroll through web pages or other lengthy vertical menus using just your thumbs. You can use the arrow keys or directional pad, but that's much slower than a proper scroll wheel, and it doesn't always work if you're editing a text field. You can swipe with two fingers on the trackpad to scroll up or down, but this breaks up the thumb-based navigation that Logitech tries so hard to establish.
But the bigger issue is that some smart TV platforms and individual apps just aren't optimized for external keyboards and trackpads. Netflix's Android TV app, for instance, does not respond to trackpad input, and several Android TV apps failed to recognize the Enter key as a way to submit login information. Instead, they would re-enter the previously-typed letter, because the on-screen cursor had moved to that letter after pressing the corresponding key.
Some of the design choices Logitech made in service of TV use make the K600 less than ideal as a standard computer keyboard. You wouldn't want to spend much time using the circular trackpad with an index or middle finger, and the K600's traditional arrow keys are frustratingly small. There are no legs on the keyboard either, so the built-in angle of incline is all you get.
If you're in a situation where using a mouse isn't really feasible or comfortable, this little keyboard includes a handy 3.5-inch touchpad. The 86-key keyboard works via USB dongle, and has a range of up to 33 feet.This keyboard has both easy-access volume controls and arrow keys.
By the by, its keys deliver very quiet performance. Though this wireless keyboard doesn't come with a recharging battery, its battery life is long enough to get used to a quiet but efficient work of this item. Logitech K400 Plus provides 18 months of wireless performance.
The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 might just as well be the best keyboard for your living room. This is because it is not just any wireless keyboard – that is too bulky for the living room or too small for productivity. It is just the right size for anyone who uses a Home Theatre PC (HTPC).
Compact and lightweight, the K400 is a complete keyboard in the sense that it contains the full set of keys. The keys are sleek and low-profile and are very easy and confortable to type with. It is powered by 2 AA batteries and has an on-off switch so that you can turn it off when not using it – thus making it very inexpensive to run. In fact, you can go for a full year* without charging your batteries (*estimate based on 2 million keystrokes/year in an office environment).
On the downside, the keyboard is made out of plastic and its keys are held by rubber domes, thus making the keys less sensitive to touch. But then again, this is a keyboard whose objective is to be used in the living room and not for the desktop. Therefore, when taken in consideration of its shape, size and flexibility, the K400 beats most of its competitors and is definitely far better than the conventional remote control.
The touchpad's surface is recessed about one millimeter into the keyboard. That might not sound like a lot, but it feels like a big drop when executing Win8 gestures that require dragging one's finger onto the touchpad from an outside edge. My finger doesn't always hit the very edge of the tracking surface as it drops down, which seems to impair the recognition of those gestures. App switching is affected, as is access to the Charms bar and application menu.
Otherwise, the keyboard's gesture support is good. The usual assortment of two-finger gestures work right out of the box, with no need to install drivers. The 3.5″ tracking are doesn't feel too constrained, but I wish there were a coasting option to extend two-finger scrolling.
The K400 interfaces with the host PC via Logitech's Unifying receiver. This dongle plugs into a USB port and is capable of communicating with multiple devices over a 2.4GHz wireless connection. The dongle itself is tiny; in the picture above, it's plugged into the USB port extender that also comes in the box. Below, you can see the dongle tucked into the battery compartment door.
I haven't spent enough time with the K400 to confirm Logitech's claim that the keyboard's AA batteries are good for two million keystrokes, or about one year of use. However, I can verify that the keyboard's power-saving measures are unobtrusive. Even after being left idle for days, the K400 still responds quickly to both keyboard and touchpad input. Folks who want to conserve power further can turn the keyboard off completely using a switch located on the front edge.
Anyone shopping for an affordable wireless keyboard and touchpad combo should have the K400 on their short list. This certainly isn't the nicest keyboard around, but the K400 is good enough for occasional use, and it's a solid value overall.
In this review, we will introduce you to some of the amazing features that these wireless keyboards for Samsung smart TVs have. Plus, we also look at some of the good reasons to go for each of these wireless keyboards for Samsung smart TVs.
For the most part, wireless keyboards are one of three types: Bluetooth, infrared, or radiofrequency. Let's review each of these types.
1. Bluetooth
One of the latest advancements in wireless keyboard technology is the addition of Bluetooth as a connection option. With Bluetooth, you can connect your wireless keyboard right to your smart TV.
Using Bluetooth is an ideal method of communication as it is less likely to be interfered with by other devices that use the same technology. This is a great option since nearly all smart TVs nowadays offer Bluetooth connectivity.
2. Infrared
Infrared keyboards aren't as popular as they once were, although if you happen to have a smart TV that doesn't offer Bluetooth, an infrared keyboard may be a solid option. However, with the rise of Bluetooth these keyboards have become more difficult to locate.
3. Radio Frequency
Radio Frequency keyboards, also known as RF keyboards, use a USB dongle that you need to insert into the USB port on your television so it can communicate with it. This type of keyboard could be a decent option if you own a tv that doesn't have Bluetooth capabilities.
However, keep in mind that these types of keyboards only provide 6-10 feet of range. That means you need to be fairly close to your television for it to work. Typically this won't be a problem, just something to remember if you choose an RF keyboard.
There are a few main points that you need to consider when looking at buying a wireless keyboard. What will you be using the keyboard for? Are you hoping for the gaming keyboard or are you seeking a keyboard your office space. There are a lot of factors to choose from.
How would you like your wireless keyboard to connect to other devices? What kind of batteries will it need and how long will it last before needing a charge or replacement? Here are a few things to think about when choosing a suitable wireless keyboard worth your investment
1. Battery Life
The typical types of batteries they use include alkaline batteries, AA, AAA or the newer technology of rechargeable Lithium-Ion.
Alkaline batteries tend to last longer than the lithium batteries; however, they may end up costing more for you in the long run as replacements are needed. If your device runs out of juice and you don't have any spare, you may be out of luck until you can get more batteries.
If you're looking for a wireless gaming keyboard, lithium-ion is usually the way to go as they are generally more suitable for longer gaming sessions (if the charge starts to get low, you can quickly plug it in and keep your head in the game).
Those looking for the most convenient and portable options around will no doubt consider the most compact keyboards, whereas at-home users may want something a little larger to keep their setup looking consistent.
The size of the keyboard will also affect the number of features. A smaller keyboard won't have number pads and similar useful but not always necessary aspects, whereas larger keyboards will have enough space to provide these features for a more controlled experience.
a) Full-Size
With a full-size keyboard, you're getting all the features and functionality you get with a "typical" keyboard, including a number pad. These are the keyboards often associated with computers, so having the extra keys can come in handy with your smart TV.
However, their larger size makes them a little less popular because you need a place to store them. Plus, you only use it when watching television, so its uses are limited, which may not require a full-fledged keyboard.
b) Compact
Compact keyboards are usually around 60% the size of full-sized keyboards. These keyboards get rid of both the number pad and the function keys, maximizing space. Their small size makes them perfect for travel or for use with your Samsung smart TV.
c) Tenkey-Less
These types of keyboards are also referred to as TKLs. They are around 80% the size of a full-sized keyboard, achieving their size by removing the number pad. These are also great options for use with your smart TV since you probably aren't going to use the number pad much.
Along the same lines of size and portability is the weight of the keyboard. No one wants to lug a heavy device around with them, especially if your backpack is already full of papers, notebooks, a laptop, and additional must-haves for work or school.
If you don't plan on carrying it everywhere you go like a high-tech safety blanket, the weight shouldn't bother you too much, and you might even want something a little weightier to give you more confidence it won't get knocked off your desk following a rage quit of volcanic proportions.
Comfort should be the main factor to consider. When you will be working for longer hours each keystroke will feel like hell to you.
Wireless keyboards can be priced as low as $25 to as high as $150. Our ideal price range for a solid wireless keyboard is $40 to $70. We recommend an array of products, including those that fit a strict budget and those that are more luxurious.
6. Range
The range you need from your wireless keyboard may depend entirely on the size and layout of your room. If you're in a large room, you'll need a keyboard that can offer more range. If this is the case, then an RF keyboard may not make sense for you, since they usually top out at around 10 feet.
Comparatively, infrared keyboards can extend to around 12 feet. However, they require a clear line of sight between the keyboard and the receiver in the USB port on your television to work properly.
If you have a lot of room between your television and where you sit, then you'll want to go with a Bluetooth keyboard. They offer a range of around 30 feet, so you'd have to have a fairly large room to run into problems.
7. Ergonomics
One thing many people don't think of is the design and comfort of a keyboard, especially one that isn't used very often. While this may not be a huge priority on the list of considerations, it still might be something to think about.
Do I need to have a wireless keyboard for my Samsung Smart TV?
You don't have to have one, but chances are if you have a fairly new smart TV, then it is Bluetooth enabled. With the latest and greatest options, you can connect your wireless keyboards through Bluetooth, infrared, or through an RF receiver that communicates directly with your keyboard.
Where do I find Bluetooth on my Samsung Smart TV?
On most Samsung smart TVs, the following will get you to the Bluetooth settings: Press the Home button on the Samsung remote control. Once you're on the Home screen, navigate to the Settings and select them.
Here you'll see the Bluetooth setting option. Select it, then find your keyboard to being the pairing process.
Do all Samsung Smart TVs support Bluetooth?
No, not all Samsung Smart TVs come with Bluetooth. However, there are a lot that do include this feature. For the ones that offer this functionality, you can connect your headphones, speakers, keyboard, mouse, and other devices.
Can I use a USB keyboard and mouse with my Samsung Smart TV?
If you get a Samsung Smart TV that was manufactured within the past two years, you can use a USB keyboard and mouse with it. Samsung started including a new feature called "Remote Access," on its Smart TVs, which allows users to use PC inputs – like a mouse or keyboard – to control their television.
Every one of the wireless keyboards on our list will work for most people. However, you may discover that one of these makes more sense for you than the others do. Take a moment to determine exactly what you plan on doing with your wireless keyboard.
As for us, we really like the Logitech K830. This is primarily because it provides you with multiple ways to connect to your television. Even if you have an older TV that doesn't support Bluetooth, you can still use the RF receiver to connect your keyboard.
Plus, the backlit keyboard makes it really nice, since it allows you to use your keyboard anytime you want without the need to turn on a light to see what you're typing.

Ardee, St. Mary's claimed the Fr. Larry Murray Cup for the first time on Sunday afternoon with a rampageous victory over the Geraldines in Minor Football Championship final at the Gaelic Grounds.
Perhaps the most action-packed decider at this grade in recent times, Ardee always look the safe bet for victory, prior to compounding the Haggardstown side's misery with three-goals in the closing five-minutes.
Considering the 'invincibility' tag that was bestowed upon them in the build-up, it was hardly surprising that Tommy Kirk's men prevailed, and with Man of the Match Jonathon Commins in remarkable form – scoring 2-13 – they made their superiority count.
The wing-forward's performance typified that of the Deesiders' in general. Composed in possession and clinical in front of goal, they gave the Gers – chasing their fourth title in 11 years – little chance of remaining in touch.
Feidhelm Joyce did his utmost in attack for the Haggardstown side, though, scoring bursts in either half ensured the winners pulled away, enforcing a rout with their late rush towards the posts.
Their first scoring burst arrived in the opening four-minutes as they reeled off 1-2 before the Gers got off the mark courtesy of a scrambled goal from David Murdock. Commins raised Ardee's green flag at the end of a flowing move involving Shane Matthews.
Murdock's major provided the Gers with a boost and having found their feet they eased into a 1-4 to 1-2 advantage with points from Conor Soraghan, Joyce (2) and Ben Mooney (free).
It proved to be a false dawn, though, as the winners powered clear, striking 2-7 before the break with Commins and Conor Gillespie crashing goals past the Gers' helpless custodian, Ciarán Peelo.
Commins closed the opening-half with 2-4 as St. Mary's went to the break nine-points in front, a gap they extended to eleven with the opening two-points of the second-half.
But, credit the Gers, they fought back and when Joyce found the net either side of minors from Jack Reid and Flynn Kieran the gap was back to a manageable five with momentum behind them.
Typical of Ardee, though, they found an extra gear when required as Commins fired over seven-points on the trot before the 50th minute and when wing-back Gavin Kirk scored his team's fourth goal, they were well in the ascendency and double scores ahead; 4-19 to 2-9.
Substitute Tristan Knowles and Commins extended their lead before Ciarán Keenan drove to the net with Joyce scoring a '45 for the Gers in between – bringing their seventeen-minute wait for a point to an end.
Another replacement, Tiernan Corrigan, added Ardee's sixth goal and they could have scored a seventh only for Peelo to pull off a fine penalty save from Andrew Bingham with the final play.
On this evidence, you will go a long way before finding a better display, or team for that matter, than this Ardee select.

Early computers were far from user-friendly as they required typed input. The era of graphics interface helped computers to become more visual, more human. The latest advance in language processing brought computers even closer to us. It bought us a voice.
People are starting to listen to it. It is estimated that by the end of the year 2018, there will be 100 million smart speakers installed worldwide (e.g. Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Homepod) with more than 18% penetration among US citizens (18+).
Voice-enabled devices are present not only at homes but also at colleges and in cars. Voice devices make content more accessible. They can provide your daily schedule, e-mail, state of your account and the latest news while brushing your teeth, cooking or driving. It is reflected in the fact that the majority of Amazon Echo owners (81%) has had interaction with the device at least once a day.
Most of us are willing to learn how to navigate clunky website and mobile app layouts because even the best-designed visual interfaces take some getting used to—it's an expected part of the process. The same is not true for voice-based interactions, which we're immersed in from the very beginning of our lives.
The context of the voice application is also different. The customer interacts with devices at home, hands-free, screen-free with the audio output only. These features make devices ideal for multitasking, and as a study shows, owners of Voice-enabled devices consume more audio content than the rest of the population. With no more than 40 000 Alexa skills, a voice is at the beginning of its era in comparison with 2 million iPhone apps.
Anyone producing audio content should think about voice devices as NPR study found: "39% of respondents replacing time spent listening to radio with smart speakers".
Companies that have a high volume of repetitive orders (food delivery, groceries, daily deals).
Customer-oriented companies that want to expand on touchpoints with customers, as for example the pharma company Zyrtec publishes news with pollen counts and predominant allergens for a given area.
According to Activate Forecast, voice devices face the fastest consumer adoption ever. With annual growth over 100% in 2018, and prediction from Gartner that by 2020 75% of US households will have Smart Speakers, the right time to think about the voice is now.
Interested in exploring voice? Let's talk!
We will deliver an in-depth analysis of the future of your industry with the perspective of voice interface.
Based on the agreed scenario, we will deliver an Alexa Skill prototype of a voice app that will give you and your board first-hand experience of what is to be part of the voice ecosystem.
Fully operational app integrated and build in alignment with your brand and customer needs.

I've been trying learn to draw a 1.5 year ago but I feel I'm not progressing Hopefully with your help can go ahead, thanks in advance.
I will not upload everything done so far, all these thing are from this year.
This is the most recent I've done.
Whatever you did here, keep doing this.
Also with faces, you are falling into drawing symbols with them. I'd suggest just not drawing the eyes and mouth and focusing on head shape and making sure it is in perspective and has accurate forms.
Drawing out of perspective is like singing out of tune. I'll throw a shoe at you if you do it.
Hey OtherMuzz thanks for the advice if I give my best .
Ok I go with all my power .
I was testing other things, but not very happy with the result.
A simple practice today. And some things that maybe it helps someone .
Whoa This is very addictive though difficult but I will not upload more this stuff so no one gets bored XD.
When doing those head construction studies, you should be placing perspective lines down so that you can make sure you are drawing properly in perspective though!
(06-02-2016, 07:27 PM)OtherMuzz Wrote: Yay more work :)!
Hey OtherMuzz yep you're right .
Thanks for your comments are very accurate ^^ .
No excuse for now doing them now :)!
O.O wow I had not seen that. That's incredible , Thanksssss !!!!
Today I was testing the paint tool sai 2 is great.


For many cyclists, bikes and beers go hand in hand: Cyclocross racers love a cold brew as a handup, mountain bikers dig them trailside, and roadies enjoy sitting down with a cold brew after a long, hot ride. It turns out that beer and bikes go way back—especially radler-style beers, which were created thanks to a bunch of thirsty cyclists at the turn of the century.
A radler is a shandy-style brew that combines the light freshness of lemonade with the crispness of beer. It originated in early 20th-century Germany, where—as the legend goes—a group of parched cyclists swarmed a bar called the Kugleralm, which was located on a popular cycling route. Much to the dismay of the bartender (Herr Kugler himself), he was almost out of beer. In a moment of panic (thirsty cyclists are not to be trifled with), he mixed what beer he had with lemon fizzy water, claiming that he was preventing the cyclists from getting too drunk to ride. The drink was well-received by the refreshed riders, and grew to become incredibly popular in beer gardens in Munich and beyond. As a nod to the pedalers that helped him come up with the new beverage, he called the concoction "radler"—which translates to 'cyclist' in German.
As intrepid reporters, we took it upon ourselves to check out a few of the best radler options for the summer.
A British Columbia-based Canadian brewery, Tree Brewing Co.'s Grapefruit Radler won a gold medal at the 2015 Canadian Brewing Awards (yes, that's a real thing). The company fully embraces the cyclist angle, featuring bikes prominently in the beer's logo. At only 2.5-percent ABV, even lightweights can sip freely.
This charmingly-named beer from Hopworks is as rad as the label implies. It's also the one that sticks to the literal definition of the original radler, with a blend of Hopworks' award-winning Organic HUB Lager with organic lemon soda. The lemon soda pairs well with HUB Lager's honey flavors and herbal hop aroma, but the maltiness is still present. And like the other beers, at 2.6-percent ABV, Totally Radler won't leave you swerving to finish the ride.
If you're looking for something a little less traditional, Boulevard's Radler is a refreshing and unusual option. It's a bit harder to find than some of the others on this list, but if you do manage to grab a six-pack, you won't be disappointed with the brand's 4.1-percent ABV. The ginger's spicy kick makes it an even better drink option after a hot ride.
Now, we know many of you are into fancier craft brews, but sometimes your bike budget leaves you a little short of beer money (trust us, we know). Our staff took one for the team and tested out this radler on a mountain biking weekend recently. Associate editor Gloria Liu explains that drinking a can "feels like that moment when you're taking off your sweaty mountain bike shoes and socks after a hot, six-hour ride." Note that she had experience with that exact feeling about five minutes before cracking a beer, so she knows what she's talking about.

Blue Cross, Seeds of Promise Partner to Tackle Health Disparities in African-American Community
For many Michiganders there is a massive gap somewhere between the dream and the reality of health care delivery.
The growing disparities in health across diverse communities was the center of attention at Let's Talk Health, a recent gathering of people from health care organizations, human service agencies and community stakeholders that was sponsored by BCBSM and Seeds of Promise, a Grand Rapids-based advocacy organization.
Bridging the Access Gap
By now, many Americans recognize there's a dangerous health gap that exists between different races. And many of those at the Grand Rapids gathering put some troubling specifics to the general unease about that gap. For instance, they know that:
If you're African-American, you're 70 percent more likely to develop diabetes.
The death rate for black infants is 2.3 times higher than that of white babies.
African-Americans, while 20 percent of the population, make up 55 percent of all HIV or AIDS cases.
Engaging Community in Better Health
At Let's Talk Health, community and faith-based leaders, health care providers, and representatives from dozens of other groups spoke about community health status, access to care, and how to improve both.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan committed to help bridge the access gap and improve health for everyone throughout the state by bringing together community partners and developing strategies to address specific community needs.
Collaborating to Find Solutions
Here at Blue Cross, we are proud to partner with organizations like Seeds of Promise and champion the open dialogue that took place at the Let's Talk Health event. Through our partnerships with community organizations and other strategic initiatives, we are working harder than ever to help increase the access and quality of health care throughout the state of Michigan for all of its residents.
Knowing the health disparities that exist in our state, where do you believe the solutions lie?
