Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Might Soon Be Banned From US Flights

TECHNOLOGY RECAPPING PAST NEWS EVENTS


Get ready to say goodbye to your Galaxy Note 7, as in a recent development Samsung has issued a recall because of reports of explosions!
Okay, it is not a blowing-up-the-petrol-station kind of explosion, but it can still cause a fire depending on where your phone was when it happened. So you shouldn’t expect a smouldering crater in your den or a blown up car as you read this article, but you should still be careful using it, in case you still think you can handle the risk.
Apparently, Samsung is not recalling every single Galaxy Note 7 shipped. The Chinese version of the phones is not to be recalled as yet because they were sent with a different battery and haven’t reported any problems.
Below is the video which allegedly initially prompted Samsung to recall their phones:   
But Samsung’s woes are not alleviated in any way, as most of the shipments were in fact made outside China. There is no official estimate on the number of recalls, but it’s believed to be in the millions. The total number of Galaxy Note 7 shipments are thought to be about 2.5 million, so that gives you an idea of the enormity of the crisis.
Given this Samsung has offered two options to their customers, they can either have their phones repaired or can replace it with a brand new unit with a better battery. Samsung’s flustered position can be judged from the fact that they are even offering full refunds to their customers.
Although stories of blowing up batteries are not uncommon but recalls on such massive scales are incredibly rare.

Victor Frankenstein

Movies   Recapping Past News Events The character of Frankenstein was born in Naples (according to the 1831 edition of the novel) and raised in Geneva. He was the son of Alphonse Frankenstein and Caroline Beaufort, who died of scarlet fever when Frankenstein was 17. He describes his ancestry thus: "I am by birth a Genevese; and my family is one of the most distinguished of that republic. My ancestors had been for many years counsellors and syndics; and my father had filled several public situations with honour and reputation." Frankenstein has two younger brothers—William, the youngest, and Ernest, the middle child. Frankenstein falls in love with Elizabeth Lavenza, who became his adoptive sister (his blood cousin in the 1818 edition) and, eventually, his fiancée. As a boy, Frankenstein is interested in the works of alchemists such as Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, and Albertus Magnus, and he longs to discover the fabled elixir of life. He loses interest in bo...

Ohio Cemetery Safari

Joc-O-Sot/Walking Bear (1810-1844) gravestone Joc-O-Sot was of the band Bear, tribe Osauckee of the Algonquin nation, according to the memorial marker, but was he a Sauk? Perhaps a Sauk is of the Osauckee. But was he the chief of the Meskwaki/Fox tribe? The Sauks and Meskwaki were closely allied and fought together in the Black Hawk War of 1831/1832, where Joc-O-Sot was wounded. After the war he came to Cleveland, working as a fishing and hunting guide. He later toured with a theatrical troupe run by Dan Marble, which supposedly showed Native American life. Traveling in England, he performed for Queen Victoria, who was impressed enough to commission a portrait of him. Joc-O-Sot became ill and returned to the United States, apparently wanting to return to his homeland (he was born in Iowa, but his people may have been buried in Wisconsin of Minnesota). He made it to Cleveland before he died, and was buried in the Erie Street Cemetery. It is reported that vandals da...
