After months of controversy and damage control, Samsung has officially announced its plans to end production on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.  “Taking our customer’s safety as our highest priority, we have decided to halt sales and production of the Galaxy Note 7,” said the company in a statement. This announcement comes on the heels of new issues, including the recall of the supposedly safe Note 7 replacement phones given to customers. All consumers of original and replacement Note 7 phones worldwide have been urged to power the phones down completely and return them to wherever they were purchased. It was in August, less than a month after the phone’s release, that reports began to circulate of the phone catching fire due to defective batteries. By September, Samsung released a recall on all the phones and began to distribute replacement devices. While the worldwide discontinuation of the Note 7 was widely expected, the decision still marks a notable period for the t...

Imagine that I really was talking about a romantic relationship. What if your best friend who was no longer in love with his or her boyfriend/girlfriend, told you that he or she was getting married, because they did not want the past four years of their relationship to go to waste. If you are a good friend, you may tell your best friend that they did not waste their time. More than likely, they've grown and learned valuable life lessons that they can use moving forward. They probably have a better idea of what they like, and what they don't like. You may tell them that in the grand scheme of life, four years in a relationship is not enough time to justify an eternity of unhappiness. Now, look in the mirror and give yourself the same advice. Say, "Hey self, you have learned a lot! You have so many valuable, transferable skills." Now that they are gone, let's talk about your wasted time. Next we'll address the most pressing and complicated concern -- Mone...

SOME LESSONS OF LIFE 1. Japanese have always loved fresh fish But the water close to Japan has not held many fish for decades. 2. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The further the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring the fish If the return trip took more time, the fish were not fresh. 3. To solve this problem, fish companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish and they did not like the taste of  frozen fish The frozen fish brought a lower price. 4. So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. The fishing industry faced an impending crisis! 5. But today, they get fresh-...
