Why Is There No Asean Food Day?
As fighting continues despite the government's order for a ceasefire, an ethnic leader in Rangoon calls on Thein Sein to cut the military's funding.
RANGOON — The government should forbid the army from spending any more money on fighting in Kachin State, an ethnic Kachin leader urged President Thein Sein over the weekend, as clashes continued despite the president's reassurances that he had called for a ceasefire.
At a government-organized event in Rangoon with hundreds of civil society leaders, the Kachin leader said the government's budget should not fund a war that has claimed civilian lives.
"There are children who are now fatherless, wives who have become widows and women who have lost their lovers in the fighting," said Nang Raw, program director of the Nyein Foundation, a national NGO based in Kachin State that has participated in peace talks between the government and ethnic groups around the country.
Nang Raw added that if the army wanted to control the area around Laiza, a town on the Chinese border where the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) keeps its headquarters, the government should ensure that civilians were not harmed.
Fighting was ongoing in Burma's northernmost state over the weekend, with clashes breaking out near at least three rebel positions in Lajayang region, near Laiza, on Saturday, the Associated Press reported, citing a KIA official.
Thein Sein said he had instructed the army not to attack Laiza, where tens of thousands of civilians live and have taken shelter in camps for internally displaced persons.
"The government has already ordered the army not to destroy or seize Laiza. This proves that our army loves peace," he said at the event on Sunday, at Rangoon's regional Parliament building.
He said the government would invite the KIO to peace talks.
"We will provide equal rights to the ethnic people, to have a permanent peace in our country," he said, calling for broader participation in peace efforts.
Since coming to power in 2011, Thein Sein's administration has signed ceasefires agreements with 10 of the country's major ethnic armed groups, which are seeking greater autonomy from the national government.
The KIA and the government army have been fighting in the resource-rich Kachin State since an earlier ceasefire between both sides broke down in June 2011.
About 100,000 civilians have been displaced in the fighting, and three civilians were killed during an artillery strike in Laiza last week.
"I will try to work for a nationwide ceasefire, as the other ethnic armed groups have asked, and as we prepare for political dialogue," Thein Sein said.

Absa Group Limited (AGL) announces changes in Executive Committee
Experienced investment banker, Charles Russon appointed Chief Executive of Corporate and Investment Banking
Paul O' Flaherty steps down from Board, joins the Group Executive Committee as Chief Executive: Engineering Services
Absa Group Limited today announces the appointment of Charles Russon as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Corporate and Investment Banking, and Paul O'Flaherty as Chief Executive: Engineering Services. Both appointments are effective 5 November 2018.
The appointments are both subject to regulatory approvals.
The appointments are a significant step forward in the Absa Group's implementation of its new operating model that was announced in April, with four core businesses, each headed by a chief executive. These are Retail and Business Banking (RBB); Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB); Rest of Africa; Wealth, Investment Management and Insurance (WIMI).
Russon has had a long career in corporate and investment banking with global and local exposure. He worked for Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank in Europe before joining Absa Capital as CFO in 2006. He later became CIB Chief Operating Officer (COO) before taking up a role as Regional Head of Finance for the Group in 2012.
Russon has been a member of the Absa Group (previously Barclays Africa Group) executive committee since January 2014. He is currently the Chief Executive for Engineering Services, and his responsibilities include overseeing the group's technology infrastructure, data and security.
The bank has also appointed Paul O'Flaherty as Chief Executive for Engineering Services, and he will join the Group Executive committee. O'Flaherty will step down from the Board, of which he has been a non-executive director since January 2016. As CE of Engineering Services, O'Flaherty will be responsible for Technology, Data, Security, and the Separation program.
O'Flaherty was most recently Chief Executive Officer of Al Naboodah Group Enterprises in the United Arab Emirates. He is also a former Chief Executive Officer of ArcelorMittal South Africa and Finance Director of Eskom.
"I am pleased that we have appointed two highly experienced executives in roles that are critical to how we take our new strategy forward. Our CIB business is an important driver of our growth ambitions across the continent while engineering services is central to the transformation of our business into a digitally-led bank in line with our strategy," said Absa Group Chief Executive Officer, Maria Ramos.

This document was issued in Bath, Maine to the vessel Industry, which was under the command of Henry Palmer of Massachusetts and had a carrying capacity of 416 tons (known as "burden" or "burthen"). The vessel was heading from Bath, Maine to Cape Francoise (Haiti) with a cargo of lumber including boards and planks, shingles and other timber.
This sea letter/ships' passport is in four languages: French; Spanish; English; and Dutch. It is signed early in his term by President John Adams who served one term from March 4, 1797 to March 4, 1801. Adams' time in office focused on establishing proper respect for the young United States. When France refused to receive American envoys unless individuals identified as "X,Y, and Z" were paid large bribes, a Quasi-War with France began. In response to this "X, Y, Z Affair", Adams spurred Congress to complete three powerful frigates, which began to defend America shipping. After several American victories at sea without a declaration of war, France backed down and received envoys with respect. The Quasi War was ended after long negotiation. The document is also signed by the controversial Timothy Pickering who had been appointed by Washington after maneuvering his predecessor Edmund Randolph out of office. Pickering opposed President Adams' actions over the Quasi-War with France and other issues. When the frustrated Adams asked for Pickering's resignation, the Secretary of State refused, and Adams then dismissed him on May 12, 1800. Also signing the document was William Webb, a prominent merchant of Bath who served a long term as Collector of Customs from July 31, 1789 until 1804. Another signer was Daniel Sewell, a Justice of the Peace in Bath.
The document is printed on rag paper and bears the Great Seal of the United States on the center left.

Another month has come & gone! Sharing my September recap today. You can see my monthly recaps here!
September was a quite the whirlwind month! I feel like I was constantly on-the-go and my to-do list was endless! To be honest, I spent a lot of the month feeling overwhelmed and uninspired – which can be stressful when your job is to create content (especially when it rains daily for most of the month!) All this to say, I think everyone has off days, weeks, or months and – while it may not always appear that way via my blog posts or instagram feed – I go through those phases too.
Anyways, September included a lot of football watching, drinks with friends, dinners with family, two funerals, and some unexpected travel! Our wedding-planner-turned-friend, Carly, planned a styled shoot & Nick and I got to be bride & groom again for the day! They went with a bright, boho theme & turned out beautifully. It was so different from our own wedding, but so gorgeous. I've gotta say, I didn't hate being the bride again especially because this time it was sans the stress of planning haha!
Between Hurricane Florence hitting North Carolina to a friend passing away tragically, I'm happy to move on to a fresh, new month! Speaking of, I can't believe it's already October… our anniversary month! AH! Does anyone else think this year has totally flown by?
The pre-fall sales 100% got me this month. Between Loft, Shopbop & Abercrombie I am now fully stocked for fall!
I mentioned last month that I stopped BBG. BBG seems to work differently depending on body type and I figured out it just wasn't meant for mine ha! Even though I was getting stronger, I was gaining in areas I didn't want (thighs and arms) and felt the program was "bulking" me up a bit. Since then I have been doing more exercises focusing on toning and adding in more cardio.

BEAUTY: This Vitamin C serum and this Retinol serum. I just started using them about a week ago – but so far, so good!
CLOTHING: This soft tee & these jeans! Both have been my go-to items recently.
TV SHOWS: Fall TV is back and I'm so happy about it! This is Us is back (cue all the tears) and Below Deck came back this week!
PODCAST: I haven't listened to Podcasts as often since I've been listening to my audiobooks, but I'm still listening to In the Dark on occasion & I want to start Dr. Death! Has anyone listened to that? It's the newest podcast by the same producer of Dirty John.
AUDIOBOOK: Hidden Bodies – this is the second book in the You series (the new TV show!) and I'm really enjoying it on audiobook. The narrator is amazing & super creepy.
CURRENTLY READING: I just finished Cross Her Heart (from Book of the Month) and I *think* I may start The Tattooist of Auschwitz next but I'm not 100% sure! I've had it on my list since I first heard about it.
How fun is that shoot with your husband! I had to stop BBG too because it was actually awful for my knees!
You found some fabulous fall items! I need to check out those sales. I also need to check out those books, it's time for some new reading material!!
Your styled shoot pictures turned out stunning! So fun to be able to play bride and groom again around your year anniversary!
This is such a great series! I will have to check out some of the books that you read.
The last 2 books sound great, I've had the The Tattooist of Auschwitz on my reading list as well! You got so many great pieces for fall, I love shopping sales!
You and Nick look so cute in that styled shoot! How fun to get "married" again! I always love your reading lists- I've loved every book you've reccomended! So sorry that September had such sadness for you- praying that October brings you a little more happy!
Do you have a tour of the home office, this is a part of the house we are always looking for inspiration.
I don't have a tour of the office quite yet! We just got the furniture two weeks and & there are still some items we need! Once everything is put together I'll have one up!
Thanks for commenting & have a great day!
How fun that you got to play bride and groom again! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I actually had to stop BBG a while ago but have picked dit back up again now that I've had wrist surgery and given myself the time I needed to heal.
I'm watching You and definitely want to ready the book!! I didn't know there was a second one too! Cant wait!
Girl, Dr. Death was so much better than Dirty John and I really liked DJ. I cannot wait for it to air! I am also really enjoying the new season of Below Deck.

Q: Gauss-Jordan Elimination to solve for variables I have the following linear system:
$$x + 2y - 3z = 4$$
$$3x - y + 5z = 2$$
$$4x + y + (s^2 - 14)z = s+2$$
Im trying to solve for $s$ to figure out how many solutions it has (if any).
I know how to implement Gauss-Jordan Elimination on matrices without variables but any help on how to go about solving this?

A: First we eliminate the first terms taking 3 of the first row from the second and 4 of the first row from the third, to get
$$x+2y-3z=4$$
$$-7y+14z=-10$$
$$-7y+(s^{2}-2)z=s-14$$
Then we simply take 1 of the new second row from the new third row, and our transformed system is just
$$x+2y-3z=4$$
$$-7y+14z=-10$$
$$(s^{2}-16)z=s-4$$
If $s=+4$, the last equation becomes $0=0$ and your set is underdetermined, with solution $$x=z+\frac{20}{7}, \quad y=2z+\frac{10}{7}$$
for any $z$. The solutions lie on a line.
If $s=-4$, the last equation becomes $0=-8$, and your set is overdetermined, with no solution.
If $s$ is any other value, then simply $z=\frac{1}{s+4}$ and the other variables can be found by back-substitution. This solution is unique.

The Field Hockey Train Rolls Over Keene State 5-1
by Cornell Woolridge
Last Saturday, the Field Hockey Team brought themselves one step closer to their goal of a seed in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament (NCAA). Defeating Keene State 5 - 1, the Thoroughbreds improved their overall record to 4 - 0. Skidmore's highly potent offense was in full swing from the beginning when Captain #4 Jen Collins '00 scored in the first four minutes thanks to assists from captain #17 Molly McClellan '00 and #18 Jaclyn Flanagan '03. From that point the T-breds in every way dominated Keene State as they have all of their other opponents this season out scoring them with an average of seven goals a contest. Skidmore continued to bring pressure from all points of the field. "You need great players at every position to play our system and that's what we have," said Coach DeLorenzo. It is this highly active and risk-taking offensive system that allows Skidmore to consistently out score their opponents and score a record28 goals through four games.
With consistent pressure the Thoroughbreds got two consecutive goals from captain #2 Lacey French '00 making the score 3-0. Just before the end of the half the Keene State Owls scored to close the gap at two goals going in to halftime. The most telling statistic of the first half was that Skidmore had a 15-5 advantage in shots taken.
For the second half the Thoroughbreds flexed their defensive muscles by quelling all offensive surges by the Owls. With defensive specialists like #10 Emily Hoffman '01, Flanagan, #14 Clare Kupferman '00, and the goalie tandem of #45 Kristine Osmond '03 and #44 Mary Meagher '00 the T-breds offense can depend on the support of a consistently strong defense. It is this confidence in every player's ability that has been a key to the team's success according to Collins, "We work well together, we work hard. We've got people on the bench that can flat come in and get it done."
Skidmore accompanied the stingy defense with two more goals. The fourth goal was scored by William Smith transfer #3 Carrie Weiner '01, who has had a strong  presence with six goals and one assist through four games this season. Weiner's goal was assisted by McClellan who finished impressively with four assists. The game's final goal was scored fittingly by Collins who also scored the game's first goal. From the start the Thoroughbreds had complete control of the game and they never relinquished it. After the easy victory DeLorenzo said, "Our goals were to hold them to one or zero goals, make them play our game, and get at least 20 comers and we did that."

With defensive specialists like #10 Emily Hoffman '01, Flanagan, #14 Clare Kupferman '00, and the goalie tandem of #45 Kristine Osmond '03 and #44 Mary Meagher '00 the T-breds offense can depend on the support of a consistently strong defense. It is this confidence in every player's ability that has been a key to the team's success according to Collins, "We work well together, we work hard. We've got people on the bench that can flat come in and get it done." Skidmore accompanied the stingy defense with two more goals. The fourth goal was scored by William Smith transfer #3 Carrie Weiner '01, who has had a strong presence with six goals and one assist through four games this season. Weiner's goal was assisted by McClellan who finished impressively with four assists. The game's final goal was scored fittingly by Collins who also scored the game's first goal. From the start the Thoroughbreds had complete control of the game and they never relinquished it. After the easy victory DeLorenzo said, "Our goals were to hold them to one or zero goals, make them play our game, and get at least 20 comers and we did that."

Southern U.S. town proud of its mandatory gun law
By Matthew Bigg
KENNESAW, Georgia (Reuters) - The Virginia Tech killings have set off calls for tighter U.S. gun laws but anyone wanting to know why those demands likely will make little headway should visit Kennesaw, a town where owning a gun is both popular and mandatory.

The town north of Atlanta had little prominence until it passed a gun ordinance in 1982 that required all heads of a household to own a firearm and ammunition.
Kennesaw's law was a response to Morton Grove, Illinois, which had passed a gun ban earlier that year as a step to reduce crime.
But it also was an affirmation of what gun advocates say is a blanket U.S. constitutional right, under the Second Amendment, for citizens to keep and bear arms. Gun opponents challenge that right and say the language in the Constitution is open to interpretation.
The Kennesaw law has endured as the town's population has swelled to about 30,000 from 5,000 in 1982.
"When the law was passed in 1982 there was a substantial drop in crime ... and we have maintained a really low crime rate since then," said police Lt. Craig Graydon. "We are sure it is one of the lowest (crime) towns in the metro area.
Residents say they are comfortable with the image the gun law projects on the city as a bastion of gun freedom.
"There's been no move to get rid of the law. Why would you?" said Robert Jones, president of the Kennesaw Historical Society. "The law is a great tourist attraction. It's the town with the Gun Law.
"People in Europe feel they need to be protected by the government. People in the U.S. feel they need to be protected from the government," said Jones, the owner of a .357-caliber Magnum.
Many U.S. citizens see gun ownership as an essential freedom on a par with free speech and the view is particularly strong in rural areas and the South where sport hunting is often a family tradition.
In a bid to expand gun rights, a bill was introduced in Georgia's state legislature to allow individuals with no criminal record or history of mental illness to conceal a weapon in their car.
The state Senate adjourned debate on the bill on Tuesday, fearing it would send the wrong message in the wake of the Virginia rampage.
Dent "Wildman" Myers, 76, styles himself as a keeper of the flame when it comes to Kennesaw's gun ordinance. His downtown shop contains a cornucopia of artifacts, including old uniforms and dozens of flags of the Confederacy that fought the Union in part in defense of slavery in the Civil War. At the back is a Ku Klux Klan outfit with a noose and a hood.
There also are posters praising defenders of the white race, White Power CDs and a sign that reads: "No Dogs Allowed, No Negroes, No Mexicans." Someone had crossed out the first part of the sign and added "Dogs Allowed."
Myers said he wanted to protect the values that made the town and the South distinct from other parts of the United States.
GUNS AS TOOLS
"They destroyed anything historic and replaced it with the PC (politically correct) stuff. It's become a cookie cutter town," Myers said, his hands resting lightly on two .45-caliber guns at his hips. He said he considered his guns to be tools, much like a rake or a shovel.
Since the Virginia Tech shootings, some conservative U.S. talk radio hosts have rejected attempts to link the massacre to the availability of guns, arguing that had students been allowed to carry weapons on campus someone might have been able to shoot the killer.
Without guns the students of Virginia Tech were "26,000 sitting ducks," said Chris Krok of Atlanta's WSB radio in a view echoed by many residents of Kennesaw.
When the town's gun law was passed, about 70 percent of households likely owned a gun, Graydon said. But Atlanta commuters have since swelled the town's population and gun ownership now is about 50 percent.
An amendment to the gun ownership law grants exceptions to convicted felons, conscientious objectors and those who cannot afford a gun. No one has ever been prosecuted for failure to own a firearm, Graydon said.
The law may deter criminals but proactive policing and close police liaison with community and business groups were the main reasons why crime has stayed low, he said.
Some residents said they found the law objectionable or silly and simply ignored it.
But Linda Warman, who works in a Kennesaw shop, said she lived alone and was taking no chances.
"I wouldn't hesitate to use it," she said of the gun she keeps loaded with hollow-point bullets. "My little .22. It'll do whatever I want it to."

Love and War in the Poetry of Guillaume Apollinarie, 1880-1918
Taylor, Alan
Composed
Voices and Instruments
fl, tpt, vc, perc, pf, female and male voices
Contact CoMA
Guillaume Apollinaire was one of the founders of the modern movement in poetry, and made his innovations in the pre-First World War Paris of Picasso and Stravinsky, whom he knew. Poetry with no punctuation, or written as visual images, were among his innovations, made necessary by his new subject matters. He also wrote while fighting in the trenches in the World War, sending poems on postcards to friends. He died in the 'flu epidemic which followed the war. 'Le Pont Mirabeau' is an intensely romantic poem of lost love, traditional in its form, and described as the most recent poem which French school children were required to learn by heart. 'Cornflower (1917)' arose from his experiences of trench warfare. The cornflower is a symbol in France equivalent to the poppy in Britain. 'It's Raining' was written as a series of irregular vertical lines down the page, in the visual image of falling rain.
First performance: Cornelius Cardew Ensemble, Jul 1998, concert at CoMA Summer School, Bretton Hall, Yorkshire
The piece requires performers to use their skill to develop ideas or improvise to a limited extent. It could be played by skilled players as soloists, or by less skilled players as a larger ensemble. Percussion required: snare drum, bass drum, floor tom, cymbal, large triangle, orchestral chimes or glockenspiel, xylophone, timpani sticks. Expressionistic and emotional style.

Coronavirus: Sarah Ferguson says 'it's okay to be worried during lockdown'
Kristine Tarbert
·Features and Health Editor
21 April 2020, 5:27 am ·4-min read
The Duchess of York spoke about life in lockdown
Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson has opened up about how she's been coping as the world grapples with the global coronavirus pandemic, and the UK remains in complete lockdown.
Despite the current health crisis forcing her daughter Princess Beatrice to cancel her upcoming royal wedding, the Duchess of York tells Yahoo Lifestyle she has otherwise been enjoying her time in isolation.
"I am really enjoying finding things to do during lockdown. I'm retreating into my imagination and I'm reading inspirational books," the Duchess tells us in an exclusive interview.
"I've read Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning about his experience of Auschwitz and its postscript, The Case for Tragic Optimism. It's about finding meaning in life despite inevitable tragedies and it reminds me of how lucky we are, whatever is going on in the world."
The 60-year-old, who has recently signed a seven-book deal with Australian publisher Serenity Press, also says she has been doing a lot more writing and "working on more and more of my children's books".
As well as finding other fulfilling projects to complete.

"We grow rhubarb in the garden and today I went and cut all the rhubarb I could find," she says. "I am going to send it to a care home for the staff and residents to enjoy during this difficult time. I thought that was a fine project."

Sarah, who was previously married to the Queen's son, Prince Andrew, also shared some of her advice for coping during this difficult period of isolation, that for many has led to an increase in stress and anxiety, and even overeating.

The Duchess said she could understand that people were potentially "finding comfort in food".
"I think you're worried and frightened about the current situation and that you are finding comfort in food," she says.
"I would suggest from my own experience that you need to be in touch with that small voice inside your head and accept that it's okay to be worried and frightened at the moment and that you can't squash those feelings with food."

She also says birds have been a big help for her.
"Every day, I take a minute to take a tiny video of the birds singing," she reveals. "I call it my orchestra. Every morning I hear it and it may be my imagination, but it seems to be louder than ever."
The accomplished author of 25 books, the Duchess will be penning seven books for release via Serenity Press, consisting of newly written titles, including five picture books and two young chapter books. The first book will be available mid 2020.
Sarah Ferguson has started a reading time on YouTube. (Supplied to Yahoo Australia)
When it comes to finding ideas for her stories, Sarah says she's had an active imagination ever since she was a child.
"My father told me I was always reading and loved making up stories," she says, adding she draws a lot of her inspiration from nature. "Because I have such a sense of child-like joy in my days, it comes easily to me to write and be descriptive."
"I used to play for hours outside, appreciating birds, animals, flowers and trees. I remember making little imaginary tea cups from rhododendron leaves.
"I feel very fortunate to be able to share the magic of my childhood and my journey to 60 years, as I am now. I have learned so much from the children I have met over the years. They have taught me courage, forgiveness, love, gentleness and kindness and I try to share all of this through my children's books."

And with two daughters of her own in Princess Eugenie, now married, and Princess Beatrice, Sarah can't wait to start sharing her stories with potential grandchildren.
"If I am lucky enough to be blessed with grandchildren, it will be the most wonderful sense of joy for me and of course I will be making up stories every day for them."

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ were meant to be a triumphant return for the Korean manufacturer after the Note 7's fiery demise. These Samsung flagships may be fine phones, but they are not without their problems, especially as they get older. This is why we've rounded up all the common issues users encounter with the Galaxy S8 and S8+, as well as their potential solutions.
Users of the Samsung's Community Forum have been reporting audio issues with their Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ devices. The sound / audio of their S8 or S8+ cuts off at random when they are playing music, streaming YouTube videos or playing games.
As far as we understand, this issue seems to only affect the sound coming out of the speakers, not headphone audio. Users are speculating that the audio issues are due to loose wiring, a theory backed up by the fact that if you apply some pressure just above the speakers, the audio comes back on.
Apparently, if you violently shake the S8 (don't!), it also reproduces the same problem. If this is true, then it would definitely point to a hardware issue—meaning a simple software update won't fix the audio issue on the Galaxy S8.
So is there a solution to fix the Galaxy S8 audio issues?
Samsung has responded to some users that it could be an app or software causing the issues and recommended to put the devices in safe mode for 1-2 hours and monitor the audio usage. This apparently did not fix the problem though.
Enable the developer options on your Galaxy S8 if you haven't already done so. Go into the Developer Options scroll down to Media and toggle Prevent USB audio routing on. This apparently solved the audio issue on the Galaxy S7 and might prove to work for the S8 and S8+ as well.
Why does my Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ restart by itself?
A number of users on the Samsung Community forum reported that their Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices continuously restart. One quick fix is to do a factory reset, but the problem appears to resurface after a few hours. A few users have reportedly tried rebooting to resolve this issue, but discovered that after this their phones will not turn back on again at all.
There hasn't been any official comment from the company on this Galaxy S8 problem, but the indicators are that this could be related to the microSD card. Some users have reported seeing a "Transfer files to SD card" notification after restarting the phone, whereas others have said they are experiencing even more problems after they transferred or removed all the apps from the card.
Samsung has reportedly advised any affected customers to send in their devices for repair, or exchange for a full refund. That said, to date, there has been no official statement from the company on this issue.
This is a problem that they will ultimately need to respond to, as this is a significant fault: constant restarting on any smartphone will eventually make the device completely unusable. Hopefully, all that will be needed is a software update to resolve this fault. However, in the absence of any word from Samsung it might be time for us to prepare for the worst.
One of the major selling points for both the Galaxy S8 and S8+ is their super AMOLED displays, which gives both devices very accurate color representations. It was also here that Samsung had its first reported Galaxy S8 and S8+ problems, as numerous users complained about display "bleeding", resulting in discolored, red-tinted screens.
According to one Reddit user, this issue is nothing more than a limitation with Samsung's OLED panels. To get even more technical, this is the result of Samsung's use of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon instead of a material like indium gallium zinc oxide.
Samsung has already responded to this issue by distributing a software update, which regulates the color balance of the device. The company says it is simply offering "a further enhanced ability to adjust the color setting to their preference," so once you receive the update you can adjust the display even more than when you first took it out of the box. Whether or not this actually goes some way to resolving the issue remains to be seen.
Quite a few Galaxy S8 owners have voiced complaints that their home button seems to be malfunctioning. After locking the phone it begins to vibrate and turns the screen back on, prompting a password unlock (either passcode or fingerprint scan). Apparently, this issue occurs both immediately after locking the phone, as well as after a delay of a few seconds.
Go to App > Settings > Navigation bar.
Locate Home button sensitivity and drag the slider to the desired place.
The Galaxy S8 doesn't have a physical home button anymore, so it could very well be something that's fixed by a simple software update. It's worth noting that at present the home button issue seems to only be occurring on Galaxy S8 devices.
Quite a few users have been reporting that the Wi-Fi connection of the Galaxy S8 keeps dropping. It had been suggested to try out different Wi-Fi frequencies, but the problem persisted with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
Wi-Fi signals disconnecting and reconnecting were also an issue reported by Galaxy S7 users, many of whom had suggested clearing the cache (some even recommended a hard reset). This worked for some users, but not all.
The Wi-Fi issue has been acknowledged by Samsung / various carries, and a patch should have already arrived to your device in the form of a software update. If you own an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8, you should have received the patch directly from Samsung. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for your carrier to push it out.
Apparently, multiple Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ users are having issues with their Bluetooth connection. When the device is connected to Bluetooth speakers and headsets, the audio can break up. Other users are reporting that when they are listening to music via Bluetooth speakers, the Bluetooth connection just disconnects.
Tap on it. You will see when the latest update has been installed.
If you think you still haven't received it, tap on Download and install - the phone will check if your software is up to date.
Samsung Galaxy S8 fingerprint scanner not sensing finger?
The Galaxy S8 fingerprint scanner seems to be causing several issues. The main problem seems to be that the fingerprint scanner can't or won't always recognize notification gestures or fingerprints. Some users report that the fingerprint sensor is basically dead, refusing to recognize multiple saved fingerprints to unlock the Galaxy S8.
A temporary fix to this seems to be performing a simple reboot, though it's been reported that the issue comes up again. Users in the Samsung forum have stated that they spoke to Samsung support who said this was software, rather than a hardware issue which should be fixed in an update.
Samsung Galaxy S8 face detection not working?
Both Galaxy S8 and S8+ users have reported that after receiving an update in late April, the face detection has stopped working. Regardless of how often a face is registered, the face detection refuses to work. The usual recommendations were tested - clearing cache, rebooting, and making sure that all apps are up to date. However, none of them had fixed this Galaxy S8 issue.
Samsung hasn't made any statements regarding the broken face detection, but it clearly seems to be a software problem.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge Lighting not working?
There seem to be various issues surrounding the Edge Lighting not working. In theory, Edge Lightning should light up the edge of the screen when a message or call is received. You should also be able to color code up to five contacts. Some users have reported that the edge lightning doesn't work with any app or call, and that it's not possible to assign colors to contacts.
While many seem to think that this might have been a single carrier issue, users across the carrier spectrum have corroborated similar issues. It seems like there could also be an issue that edge lightning only works with the Samsung Messaging app and not the one that your carrier provides—though this is still unconfirmed.
Then tap and hold down on Edge Lighting (make sure that it's set to Always on) and then tap on Manage notifications.
The notifications are turned off by default so you will need to turn them on individually.
Another issue that users have reported is that Edge Lighting works when the display is turned on, but refuses to work when it's turned off.
Another possible solution here is to simply switch off the Keep screen turned off in the display settings.
To do this go into the Settings > Display and then scroll down to "Keep screen turned off" and toggle it off.
This doesn't seem to fix the issue for everyone one and, according to the Samsung forum, the company is currently looking into this issue.
A useful reminder is that for the Edge Lighting feature to work, your phone needs to be laying face down on the surface.
Samsung Pay apparently has a bug which causes it to freeze up your phone. This issue seems to mostly occur when you try to "swipe to unlock" the display, and Samsung Pay then attempts to show your "preferred card". This then causes the phone to freeze up between both actions. You are either then forced to wait until the phone figures out what it wants to do, or to soft reset it.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Samsung Pay doesn't fix this issue. The root of the problem seems to be that Samsung Pay incorrectly registers the swipe to unlock gesture, which then causes the mix-up. Several users in the Samsung forum reported that removing/not having the favorite card selected seems to fix the issues, though it limited the usefulness of the Samsung Pay app.
Go into Settings > Lock screen and Security and then tap on the Always on display.
You'll need to select the clock format that you want, which then brings you into a new menu where you can change the clock style, color and background. Tap on Background and make sure to select None.
This should enable the infinity wallpaper to work on all your display settings.
Several users have tried downloading the My Knox app on the Galaxy S8 only to receive the message that the app isn't compatible with their phone.
The answer to this dilemma is that as of 2017, My Knox won't be compatible with Samsung Galaxy phones and will be replaced with Secure Folder. Here's how to back up your My Knox data and continue using Secure Folder.
Both Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ users have reported that they are encountering instances that when they are attempting to wirelessly charge, all they get is a blinking "charging paused". Users are also complaining that docks and pads which they bought in combination with their Galaxy S6 and S7 devices don't work for the Galaxy S8.
While the cable itself doesn't seem to make any difference for the pad, it seems like the power brick (the thing that goes into the electrical outlet) seems to be the culprit. Users in Samsung forum have explained which combinations worked for them, and it seems like there's no clear pattern—just the fact that some power bricks will power wireless charging pads and fast charge in Samsung docking stations and others won't.
The only real solution at this time seems to be that you should only use wireless charging pads and docks that are explicitly marketed for the Galaxy S8.
"The iris sensor is not responding. Try again later"
Multiple reports have surfaced up in various forums that the iris sensor of both the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ is throwing up an error. It seems to crop up most frequently when trying to unlock the phone, using Samsung Pay or Secure Folder. In those instances, it produces the error message "The iris sensor is not responding. Try again later".
Samsung is aware of the issue, but no patch or fix has surfaced yet. Users report that restarting seems to be the only solution to temporarily fix this issue, though the problem will resurface hour later again.
Go to Settings > Apps > Messages > Notifications and then make sure that this is set to Allowed. None of the other notification settings work if this isn't set properly.
If this does not fix the issue, make sure to backup your data and perform a hard reset.
If your phone has been in contact with liquids, leave it in a bowl of uncooked rice overnight and then gently clean the port with a Q-tip.
Turn off the phone by long-pressing the Power button, then tapping Power off.
While the device is off, plug it into the charger and turn the phone back on. Make sure you are using the official Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8 + charger and USB cable.
Your phone should now be charging and displaying time remaining to full charge. The 'Moisture in charging port' notification should also disappear.
If the message still appears after taking these steps, your last resort is performing a factory reset. If that doesn't help, it might be time to take your Galaxy S8 to a certified repair shop.
Have you been experiencing issues with your Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8+? Have you been able to find an effective way of resolving them? Let us know in the comments below.
It is very detailed. I got solution of fingerprint not working case.
My phone notifications bar shows it is on-call when I have neither initiated nor accepted any! I am unable to go to that call to identify who is on the line, if any, or speak to them! I tried restarting the phone and the icon went away for short time then came back again.
I use to be able to have separate ring tones for my notifications and text messages but now the notification tone is for everything. When I go to setting to try and get a different tone for the 2 and than give different tones for different people on messages there is not an option any of that. I want this ability back. I am tired of missing messages because I think it is an app notification or I am checking my phone constantly to make sure it is not an important message from work. When I first got an S8 phone I could do all of this than there was an "update" and it no longer works. I have gone into 2 different stores thinking I was doing something wrong and they could not fix it either.
Have you found resolve for this issue? This is a major annoyance to me. Just as you stated, I can no longer discern who is attempting contact because I can no longer set separate notification sounds.
I'd like to know how to turn vibration off COMPLETELY, as if vibration didn't exist. Whether or not my sound is turned on. I can't seem to do it on my S8plus. I've gone through the settings, I've tried going into the apps themselves and it STILL vibrates! It's hard to sleep when this phone keeps buzzing all the time. I'd shut it off except I need to be able to answer certain calls. I absolutely HAVE TO put the phone on a cushion or something to deaden the vibration sound. Any other phone I've ever owned, I've been able to disable the vibration completely. Not this one. Ugh!
Why don't you write about the Galaxy S8 Active for T-Mobile I have one and there's no info out there . What gives androidpit is is supposed to be about gadget info and there's nothing about this device. Why?
So this is my second S8 since May of 2017 that I have had that is experiencing issues with no longer having my S8 sound when I receive a text message. My phone is not on silent unless I am sleeping. I've deleted all of my messages and set a limit on them to delete after 200. My first S8 started doing this after roughly 4 months of having it. It was under warranty so they replaced it for me. Now once again, only having this phone since December I am experience the exact same issues starting today. I've done all the trouble shooting and nothing works. So sick of this honestly. Anyone else have issues with this?
I have an international model Samsung S8 and I need a complete screen change. I currently live in the US and am having much more trouble getting this fixed than I can explain in a comment section. Do you by any chance where I can get an international phone fixed properly?
I've already checked and Best Buy and Samsung US won't do it. They're saying that I need to send my phone back to its place of origin to be fixed and that country won't even mail it back to me if I did.
Wow, look at the 1st posters on here that are complaining, you sure you are not crapple users just causing crap against android?
I have a Galaxy S8+ and 3 days ago it started to switch from sound notification to vibrate on its own. No matter how many times I turn it back to sound, it automatically switches to vibrate. I do not have a case on it, so that's not pushing the button. Its just laying on my desk without even touching it, it will switch. Very frustrating because I miss calls & texts. Any idea how to fix this?
I have a Galaxy S8+ Phone. In the 3 months I have had it, a few issues have arisen. The power button was not functioning properly, sent back for repair and fixed. While being repaired I was using my old phone and realised how poor the call quality on the s8+ is. There is constant hissing in the background during a call, and the other persons voice is always a bit distorted, sometimes it is worse than others, to the extent that I have to ask the other person to repeat what they have said. Phone was sent back again, and when returned the problem was still there. Phone is currently away again.
I tried another s8+ that a salesman had, it was the same.
If it comes back the same I will tell the supplier to take it back, and get a different model that works properly as a phone.
This phone is a poor performer in terms of in call clarity, and i would not recommend it to anyone on that basis. ...... but if you are interested in a toy with a flash screen and all the gimmicks then go for it !!
My S8 has been returned 2 times for repair in 6 weeks. It just quits on calls. Goes totally silent. At first could use speaker but after 1st repair I couldn't even maintain a call. After 36 hrs it dropped calls 5 times in 2 minutes. Have done all recommended procedures but nothing works to remedy situation. Will have back tomorrow after second repair. They replaced earpiece and speaker 1st time. Wonder what they did this time? Did same thing in safe mode. Verizon phone bought at Best Buy.
I can't get my Samsung Galaxy 8 to update. Every time I try it says "sorry, we are having trouble authenticating your device. Please try again later. A little Help please?
I don't have an "audio" issue. My phone will simply just pause while any media is playing. Be it music, video, youtube, or anything else. It gets frustrating when you're working out and having to stop because your phone paused your music.
One last point, the Samsung Cloud Sync.
It has synced and so I found out, removed hundreds of photos and videos to the Samsung cloud even though they are displayed in Gallery. They are not physically on the phone and my attempts to download them to my phone then transfer them to a SD card are blocked. I have not yet found out how to get these photos back physically onto my phone to enable me to back them up. Switching off the Cloud Sync blocks my access to the images totally. I cannot find how to access these online either to be able to download them and keep them in my own backup system.
Upgraded to the Galaxy S8 but extremely frustrated with it. The predictive text, especially using the swyping feature has been getting steadily worse since the S2 and Note4 where it was 90% perfect. The S6 used to come up with strange words on Swyping the keyboard but if you manually entered the word in using the keyboard it would accept and learn it.
Now with the S8 it is driving me crazy as it often ignores what you manually type in and replaces it with very strange alternatives at random and more often than not you cannot remove these suggested option as you did previously.
When using swyping feature it is even more irritating as it enters multiple words when you were swyping something simple like "and" is replaced with "as BF.". There are numerous times it replaces words with a "suggested word (space) then V8" even though your fingers were nowhere near these letters.
I love my S8+ but for the last 2 days on the right side of the edge I cannot get it to work easily. I have to touch multiple times... at times 10 plus. Can i please get some kind of idea of what to do?

Parents lose child custody of all three children because of their names
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. | Nov 3, 2011 | Uncategorized
Two parents recently lost child custody of their children because of the children's names. The parents named two of their children "Adolf Hitler" and "Aryan Nation". The parents of the children say the child custody decision was made even though a state appellate court did not find any evidence of abuse. "They were taken over the children's names," said the father.
The child custody ruling was made last Thursday and the record of the court is different than parent's explanation of the child custody story. Last year the appeals court found sufficient evidence of abuse or neglect based on reports of domestic violence in the home and the children were removed from their home in New Jersey.
In reaction to the court's ruling the parents of the three children protested outside of the child services offices in their hometown along with three other people. The parents said the state has no right to keep their children from them when the court ruled that the children were taken away without cause.
The facts of the case began when the parents went to a local ShopRite to order a birthday cake. The parents requested that a birthday cake be made for their 3-year-old son, Adolf Hitler Campbell, with his name on it. The store refused and reported the incident.
Adolf and his siblings JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie have been in foster care.
The parents have acknowledged the hateful roots behind their children's names but say hate is not their intent. The father said, "This is America, they say it's free, you have the right to name your child whatever you want to name your child, no matter what."
The decision of whether the children will come home will be made in December.
