The Galaxy S8 has several features the iPhone doesn’t, but one of my favorites is its always-on display. Samsung first introduced this feature last year with the Galaxy S6. Thanks to the organic screen technology Samsung uses, it can power some pixels all of the time without wasting battery life. You can use it for viewing icons representing notifications, special pictures or for actions, like switching songs. Using the always-on display is simple.

They also see the responsibility for restoring the country’s economic health as resting primarily with Europe, which is currently covering 80 percent of Greek debt. The fund has been criticized for overcommitting financial resources to the European debt crisis. Euclid Tsakalotos, the Greek finance minister, met with an array of officials, as he usually does at I.M.F. Publicly, the mantra of fund officials, starting with Christine Lagarde, the managing director, was the same: The numbers had to a

Interest in jobs focused on the environment is higher in the U.S. than in any other English-speaking country. While every state has opportunities for these job seekers, there are some where so-called “green jobs” make up a greater percentage of the overall number of open positions. Job search site Indeed and SUNY Polytechnic Institute took a look at the states offering the greatest job prospects to environmental scientists, water resource engineers, solar technicians and other would-be naturalis

Thousands of scientists worldwide made plans to leave their labs and take to the streets Saturday to rail against what they say are mounting attacks against science. Marchers in Geneva carried signs that said, “Science — A Candle in the Dark” and “Science is the Answer.” In London, physicists, astronomers, biologists and celebrities gathered for a march past the city’s most celebrated research institutions. The protest was putting puts scientists, who generally shy away from advocacy and whose w

Two mothers-turned-entrepreneurs pitched their adult sippy cup for wine on the episode of “Shark Tank” that aired Friday — and they were in the enviable position of having almost every shark interested in doing a deal with them. Co-founders Shannon Zappala and Regan Kelaher were seeking a $200,000 investment in exchange for 13 percent of their business, Goverre.

As the video continues, another passenger, apparently upset with how the situation was being handled, gets up and approaches the front of the plane. Other passengers can be faintly heard discussing the situation, appearing to explain to other crew members that the flight attendant grabbed the woman’s stroller. After the video went viral, American Airlines condemned the incident and promised to open an investigation. “What we see on this video does not reflect our values or how we care for our cu

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said Friday he has been replaced, a little more than two years after he was confirmed under President Barack Obama. “I have been truly humbled and honored to serve as your Surgeon General.” He said Rear Admiral Sylvia Trent-Adams, the current deputy surgeon general, will serve as acting surgeon general. Surgeon General has been updated with her in that role. Murthy replaced Acting Surgeon General Rear Admiral Boris Lushniak, who took over after Surgeon General Regina

The XLE energy ETF hit its lowest level since before the November presidential election in Friday trading, as WTI crude oil logged a 7 percent loss on the week. “On the [trading] desk, we’re seeing nothing but sellers in all these names, and especially the winners,” he added. Larry McDonald, of ACG analytics, is also bullish on energy stocks—but for reasons that have more to do with Washington, D.C. than Cushing, Oklahoma. “Now’s the time you want to be leaning into some of these names,” McDonal

President Donald Trump announced his intention to hold a “big rally” in Pennsylvania next Saturday, a date which marks his 100th day in office, and coincides with the White House Correspondent’s Dinner—an event he previously declined to attend. A day earlier, Trump dismissed the 100-day benchmark normally used to measure presidential success. It wasn’t immediately clear what purpose the White House had in mind for scheduling the Pennsylvania rally. Interestingly, however, the rally will be held

South Korea’s Samsung Bioepis has won a U.S. FDA nod for a biosimilar of Johnson & Johnson’s Remicade, marking a first for the company in the U.S. and setting up a path to competition with the world’s largest drug company and a similar product made by Pfizer. Samsung Bioepis, a partnership with Biogen, won U.S. approval for Renflexis, which is a version of infliximab referred to as a biosimilar because it is not an exact chemical copy like a generic drug. “Through relentless process innovation a

Nowotny’s remarks were in line with recent comments by other policymakers pushing back against German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, who has calledfor the ECB to move away from its ultra-accommodative monetary policy. We are continuing bond purchases at a reduced level and leaving the interest-rate structures as they are,” Nowotny said in an interview with Austrian magazine Profil. “In the second half of the year we will then reach the decisions concerning the period after the end of 2017.

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday the United States would honor a controversial refugee deal with Australia, under which the United States would resettle 1,250 asylum seekers, a deal President Donald Trump had described as “dumb.” “We will honor this agreement out of respect to this enormously important alliance,” Pence said at Turnbull’s harborside official residence in Sydney. Under the deal, agreed with former President Barack Obama late last year, the United States would resett

For Grishma, an Indian software designer, President Donald Trump’s review of the visa program for bringing highly skilled workers into the United States comes at a bad time. But as she waits in the H-1B visa queue for the green light, she is caught in a bind. The United States has already suspended the “expedited processing option” for applicants, under which she may have received a visa in weeks. An engineer working at Cisco, who has been in the United States since 2011, said that three months

On CNBC’s “Futures Now” last week, CFRA chief investment strategist Sam Stovall laid out his “winning investment approach” for trading equities year-round. This strategy would have investors coming out of the more cyclical sectors such as financials and materials, which investors could then go back into once the cycle begins again. This “six month defensive, six month cyclical” approach could be especially useful for investors if the so-called Trump rally were to come to a halt. “What we’ve been

The United States has increased its military expenditure for the first time since 2010, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Although U.S. spending remains 20 percent below its peak 5 years ago, it increased by 1.7 percent to $611 billion last year, according to SIPRI. The increase marks the reversal of a trend that saw the U.S. reduce its military spend for 5 consecutive years due to economic uncertainty and the drawdown of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. D

Copeland says at this juncture one of the best moves is to reduce your cost of living. Downsizing, or making it a priority to get the mortgage paid off, can also make it more practical to downshift to a lower-paying/part-time job later on. Make your future self more employableJust 40 percent of baby boomers with an eye on working longer told TCRS they are keeping their job skills up to date. “If you want to work longer, all those should be at 100 percent,” Collinson said. “One of the major disco

The college ranking phenomenon and hysteria are not things the colleges themselves are responsible for starting. This is the way it used to be before standardized tests, when competitive colleges gave individual exams that they formulated for applicants. The Technion Institute doesn’t wait until students apply to the school to ensure a good balance of Israelis and Arabs in its classrooms. The biggest reason college tuition prices have consistently shot up more than inflation, is because they can
