Samsung Galaxy S10 Review: An Android Champ To Get Excited About
Published 2 years ago: March 7, 2019 at 11:00 am -
Filed to:android
consumer techfeaturegalaxy s10samsung galaxy s10smartphones
If the Pixel 3 was Google's crowning achievement for showing how good a software-first approach to phone design can be, then the Galaxy S10 is a tribute to the hardware gods. Between a new take on the tired notched selfie cam, a redesigned rear camera setup with three different lenses, and incredible battery life, the Galaxy S10 feels like a celebration of smartphone tech sophistication.
Choosing a new phone plan can be a pain in the butt, even when you know exactly which model you're after. Nobody wants to go to every telco site and open 400 tabs for the sake of comparisons. That's why we've pulled together the best Samsung Galaxy S10 plans that are currently available. You're welcome.
Samsung's latest flagship phone
Starting at $1,349 for the S10 for the Galaxy S10, starting at $$1,499 for the S10+
Absolutely stunning display, triple rear cameras, sophisticated punch-hole front cameras, gorgeous design, comes with 128GB storage standard, wireless power share, and ridiculously good battery life
Pricey, new One UI icons aren't great, some camera features buried
It's impressive how much Samsung crammed inside Galaxy S10, particularly the S10+. (Note: This review was conducted primarily based on time spent using the Galaxy S10+. We'll update with information about other devices in the line when we've tried them.) Despite having practically the same-sized 6.4-inch screen as the Galaxy Note 9, the S10+ sports a slightly larger 4,100 mAh battery (versus 4,000 mAh for the Note 9), an extra camera sensor in front and back, and reverse wireless charging (Samsung calls this wireless power share) in a body that's actually 10 per cent thinner. Now, I'm not someone who typically cares about the difference between 7.8 and 8.8 millimetres, but when they're in your hand, you definitely notice. For a phone packing this many new features, at 175g, the S10+ is surprisingly light too.
Everything about the S10's aesthetics is on point. Samsung's new Infinity-O punch-hole selfie cameras are a sleeker, less distracting version of last year's notches. Samsung also tweaked the aluminium chassis that holds the phone together, so that it's more comfortable to grip. Even Samsung's prismatic colour options live up to their name, especially the prismatic white colorway, which shifts from electric purple to hot pink to pale blue depending on the light. And since Samsung replaced the rear fingerprint with an ultrasonic scanner buried beneath the display, there are fewer distracting features around back.

The most attractive thing about the S10 is its screen. For 2019, Samsung is calling the S10's screen a dynamic AMOLED display, a component that the screen testing experts at DisplayMate gave their highest grade yet. And while all those numbers and ratings are important, simply looking at the stunningly brilliant colours the S10's screen puts out is proof enough, the S10's display is the best on the market. It supports HDR10+ content, with a display that can push at over 1,200 nits in certain circumstances, as well as HDR10+ video recording. Combine that with top-notch photo capture, and the S10 has the uncanny ability to make all your homegrown content pop on screen better than anything the iPhone XS or Pixel 3 can manage.
In some ways, it's a subversive trick, because it tends to make content appear more vibrant when viewed on the S10's screen than it might appear on other devices. On the flipside, the S10's screen also features improved blue light filters, which do a better job of cutting down on the slice of colours that can help make it harder to fall asleep.
Triple rear cams with one main lens, one telephoto, and one ultra-wide are the new standard for flagship phones (Photo: Sam Rutherford, Gizmodo)
To avoid the notch, Samsung had to eliminate the iris recognition sensors used on the past two generations of Galaxy phones. You can still unlock the phone with your face if you want, but to authenticate more sensitive actions like online payments, you'll need to rely on the S10's in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which Samsung claims is the world's first FIDO-certified biometric sensor.
This is a trade I'm willing to make, as I prefer a more deliberate touch of a finger to confirm a purchase, as opposed to something like Face ID. And with the speed and reliability of the S10's in-screen sensor, there's essentially no downside. Really, the only time the S10's ultrasonic scanner ever missed was when I tried to unlock the phone while its screen was completely off and didn't have the little fingerprint icon to tell you where to touch. But that's an issue that resolved itself after about a day of getting used to the phone, and now I kinda prefer the stealthy nature of being able to unlock the S10 without needing any overt cues.
As for those new rear cameras, Samsung added an ultra-wide lens to the S10's toolkit. It's a move we've seen before on the LG V40 and Huawei Mate 20, and it cements triple rear cameras as something every high-end phone should have. All three are quite sharp, although the ultra-wide angle does suffer from slight distortion around the edges, owing to its 123-degree field of view. But the real impact of that wide-angle lens is how it supplements the other two cams, because now with three cameras of varying focal lengths, the S10 is better equipped than before to handle any picturesque moment life throws at you.

2x telephoto
And here's the ultra-wide cam.
The Pixel 3"s is the best of the bunch. Just check out the sharpness on the trees and crane in the background.
The S10+'s shot is decidedly more vivid and has better white balance, but the Pixel 3"s shot has better contrast and has better details in the highlights. Regardless of which one you prefer, it's a close contest.
A great example of this happened while I was in Barcelona for MWC. While I was on the way to what seemed like an endless number of phone launches, I was able to step aside for just a minute to take three shots of the palatial Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya using all three lenses. In less than 10 seconds, I had close-up details of the museum from afar, a shot that captured the view as I saw it, and a third pic that captured the expansive surroundings. That's a series of shots Google and Apple's best phones can't capture right now, and it highlights how an extra sensor that might seem superfluous can record a tranquil moment, even amidst an otherwise hectic schedule.
That said, if image quality is the only thing you care about, in certain situations, the S10's cameras fall short of what the Pixel 3 can deliver. In a side-by-side shootout between the S10+, Pixel 3, and iPhone XS Max, the Pixel 3 did the best job of capturing details on the crane in the background and the texture of the road in front. And unlike the iPhone XS, neither the S10+ nor Pixel 3 went overboard on the blue light seeping through the fountain in the center.
If you want, you can disable the S10"s scene optimizer by tapping the circle in the top right, but you can't turn on specific scene settings at will, which is a bummer. (Photo: Sam Rutherford, Gizmodo)
Samsung also updated the phone's scene optimizer, which intelligently detects various objects and environments to help optimise camera settings. Now, the S10 can recognise the difference between a cat and a dog, a shoe and a car, or automatically turn on the phone's Bright Night setting in very dark situations. The issue for the S10 is that unless the phone detects these things on its own, you can't activate those photo tweaks yourself. This poses a problem for Bright Night mode, because even in low-light situations, unless it's really dark, you won't get any help.
Often, that's not a huge deal, because, with the main cam featuring a max aperture of f/1.5, the S10 naturally gathers more light than the f/1.8 aperture rear cam on the Pixel 3. But when I set up a candlelit shot to test this out, while the S10 outperformed the Pixel 3 without any special modes turned on, I couldn't do a direct comparison between Samsung's Bright Night mode and Google's Night Sight feature until I moved my one candle to the opposite side of the room. So after getting everything situated again, I tried once more and found that with Bright Night and Night Mode activated, well, let's just say that Google's Night Sight is the real deal.
Another bonus of the in-screen fingerprint sensor is that now, if the phone is lying flat on a table, you can unlock the phone without needing to pick it up and reach around the back.
Yes, the S10 still has a Bixby button, but now, at least you can remap the button to open an app or perform a quick command if you want.
Even though Night Sight has been out for six months, and its effects shouldn't surprise me anymore, Google's computational photography still finds ways to amaze. And now that Samsung has upgraded to triple rear cams, it feels like the biggest way it can improve photography on future Galaxy phones is to step up its image processing even more. Though all three of the S10's cameras are solid, there's still a little room for improvement.
Packing a Qualcomm 855 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage standard, the S10 posted benchmarks 15 to 25 per cent higher than even the fastest last-gen Android handsets. That bump might not be something everyone notices on its own, but working in tandem with Samsung's One UI skin for Android 9, the S10 feels significantly speeder and more responsive than the S9. One UI also includes handy interface improvements that make buttons and icons easier to reach one-handed and useful additions like pop-up notifications that produce little bubbles on the phone's home screen when someone sends you a text.
Finally, I'd be messing up big time if I didn't mention how stupidly good, the S10+'s battery life is. On our rundown test, it lasted 15 hours and 9 minutes. Seriously. That's even better than the 14:09 we got from the Galaxy Note 9, and way longer than the Pixel 3's time of 10:50. (We haven't had the chance to battery test the S10 yet, but as soon as we do, we'll add those numbers in here.)
In the real world, the S10+'s longevity is even more profound. During MWC, I used the S10+ as my main device, and between constantly using the phone to check Slack, looking up directions, shooting photos, checking notes and everything else I need to do, covering trade shows is one of the most taxing roles I could ask a phone to perform.
I love being able to use the S10+ as a wireless charging pad while travelling, so I don't have to drag an extra cable and cradle around for the Galaxy Watch. (Photo: Sam Rutherford, Gizmodo)
But even with all that, the S10+ lasted almost two full days on a single charge. After hitting 60 per cent before falling asleep on the first day, the S10 finally conked out at about 10:30 the next night. Sure, it wasn't a full 48 hours, but with even without any special battery saving modes turned on, going a night without plugging in isn't the death sentence that it used to be. Unless you are intentionally trying to kill the phone, single day battery simply feels like its no longer a concern. No more carrying two phones, a charging case, or extra battery packs. The S10's battery life gives you freedom.
So what are you supposed to with all that extra juice? Well, make sure all your other gadgets are topped off, of course. While the S10's wireless PowerShare feature transfers juice at around 5-watts (or slightly higher depending on the device being charged), which is sort of the bare minimum for wireless charging speeds, the feature is more about utility than recharging things as fast as possible. It's perfect for helping out a friend's less energetic handset, but wireless PowerShare's best use might be as a substitute wireless charging pad while travelling. With it, you don't need to bring the cradle for the Galaxy Watch or other smartwatch with Qi support when you leave home for a couple of days. Flip the phone over, tap the PowerShare icon in the quick settings menu, and that's it. Just remember that when it's not plugged in, wireless PowerShare won't work if the phone has less than 30 per cent battery left.
I was hard on Samsung at the end of last year, but with good reason. As good as the S9 is, as the world's biggest smartphone producer, I felt like Samsung could do even better. And with the Galaxy S10, Samsung has delivered. Even when compared to the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, the Galaxy S10 has a better screen, sharper cameras, slicker design, and even longer battery life—all without needing to sacrifice the phone's headphone jack.
The biggest thing stopping anyone from picking up the S10 is price, because starting at $1,349 for the regular S10, that's a lot of money to throw down on a phone. But when you compare that to the Pixel 3 which hasn't gotten a price drop and still costs $1,199 for less sophisticated hardware, and the $1,629) iPhone XS, the Galaxy S10 comes the closest to making all those dollars worth it.
The S10+'s battery life is ridiculously good, and can deliver two full days of use between charges.
Wireless PowerShare isn't all that fast, but it's a great way to lend spare juice to a friend in need, or better yet, leave the cradle for your Galaxy Watch at home while travelling.
Every premium phone should have triple rear cameras (standard, ultra-wide, and telephoto), and Samsung's setup on the Galaxy S10 might be the best implementation of that trend yet.
The punch-hole selfie cam is a strictly better version of the notch, and less obtrusive too.
I would be nice if Samsung offered greater control over the S10's scene optimizer, especially Bright Night mode.
Samsung making 128GB of storage standard across the S10 line is a welcome upgrade for 2019. Also, the S10 still has a headphone jack.
Samsung Galaxy S10 Range: Australian Price, Specs And Release Date
Samsung Unpacked has finally happened. No more rumours. No more speculation. Over the past six months the Galaxy S10 arguably became the most leaked flagship phone ever. It made the Pixel 3 details look airtight. But it is now officially out in the ethos, and we're to deliver all the details - including when it will land in Australia and exactly how much it's going to cost you.

Rightsizing a fleet, whether it means reducing the number of vehicles or transitioning to smaller, more fuel-efficient models, can create resentment and frustration among drivers, causing them to resist the initiative.
Take, for example, how technicians might respond when tasked with switching from a full-size to a compact van.
"They may be thinking, 'I need to carry a certain amount of inventory and tools with me, and now I need to fit all that into a smaller vehicle? This is really going to change how I do my job. It's going to inhibit my productivity, my efficiency, my comfort. How is this going to work better?' Without effective communication, there can be a lot of skepticism," explained Suzanne Benzion, manager of strategic consulting for PHH Arval.
And, it's not just service technicians. Sales reps, too, may take offense when asked to downsize to mid-size sedans.
"While the vehicle is a required tool to perform the job, it's also perceived as a perk by many sales reps," Benzion said. "If the reason for the change is not effectively communicated, the driver may feel slighted, thinking you're taking something away."
These driver concerns with rightsizing, if not adequately addressed by management, could fester and negatively impact employee morale and productivity. But, with effective communication, fleet managers can help ease the pain and get drivers on board.
One way to combat resistance to rightsizing is by explaining the rationale to drivers and other stakeholders impacted by the initiative.
"You can expect drivers to resist and resent any initiative that takes away their vehicles without a good reason; one that's not based on clear and sound goals and determined by a systematic and logical decision-making process," said Paul Lauria, presidentof Mercury Associates Inc., a fleet management consulting firm based in Rockville, Md.
According to Michele Zeiler, senior manager, account management for Wheels Inc., the best way to communicate these goals depends on how the rightsizing is being implemented. For instance, if frontline sales or service drivers are losing their company vehicles, an in-person meeting would be the best way to communicate the change.
"Explaining the reason for changes thoroughly, as well as the future plan, will be understood better in person, and that type of format allows for questions to try preempting incorrect assumptions from circulating in the field," Zeiler said.
For example, if the plan is to reduce spare vehicles, a webcast may be sufficient to explain the plan and how fleet will respond when an immediate need for a vehicle arises. No matter the details of the plan, according to Zeiler, it needs to have support from senior management and provide the benefits the drivers and branch managers will see from the change.
Before executing any rightsizing campaign, first solicit recommendations from drivers during the planning process, Lauria of Mercury Associates advised.
"Drivers should be involved in the process when developing information on how vehicles are used to support the operation of the enterprise," he said. "Drivers are the most knowledgeable individuals in an organization about such matters and should have input to the information-gathering and decision-making process. If fleet users feel that they had no say in the development of rightsizing recommendations, they may try to repudiate those recommendations when it comes time for management to implement them."
There are a few practical ways to get input from fleet drivers. Lauria advised fleets to use online surveys.
"We've surveyed the operators of as many as 25,000 vehicles for a single fleet rightsizing study," he said. "Once we've developed specific recommendations regarding the reassignment, right-typing, or elimination of vehicles in each organizational unit, we conduct face-to-face meetings with representatives of these units to discuss the recommendations and to try to establish consensus on the final plan."
Surveys also serve as an effective communication tool for fleet managers to talk about rightsizing with drivers, said Bob Sandler, vice president of enterprise consulting and analytics for PHH Arval.
"The survey results give you the opportunity to say, 'We've heard you.' And, then incorporate into the discussion: 'Here's what we're considering,'" he said.
However, not only must the fleet manager get a survey to drivers, he or she may need to motivate them to actually fill it out.
"Your response rate will rise as drivers see that you're acting upon their feedback," Sandler said. "As with any survey, the more the respondents see that you're taking action, or at least communicating results, the more likely they will be to participate in future surveys."
Another way to solicit input is through a council, said Zeiler of Wheels.
"The council should include members of operations management (such as sales, service, and human resources) and a couple of drivers to provide the perspective from the field. These drivers can be management as well, but they need to be close enough to the field to have a solid sense of the impact of the change as well as a voice to help sell the concept to those it will impact," Zeiler said.
Benzion of PHH Arval said some clients conduct onsite test drives to help drivers feel a sense of ownership in the rightsizing process. If the company is looking to move sales reps from full-size SUVs to smaller crossover vehicles, for example, a test-drive program would allow reps to drive those vehicles, see how their gear fits inside, and ensure there are no substantial issues with the spec if they make the switch.
Some large fleets also tap "ambassadors," employees who are highly respected and vocal among their peers, to test drive the new "rightsized" vehicles and share their experiences with other drivers, according to Benzion.
"Ambassadors can provide effective testimonials to say, 'This is working for me, I love it, and here's why.' They can also prove whether the vehicle can actually do the job before it's introduced to the wider fleet," she explained.
Despite what the hard data says about the merits of a rightsizing initiative, it takes the "soft" skills of effective communication to make the rollout successful. Communicate in a way that seeks input, garners trust, and eliminates unpleasant surprises.


Booooo! They didn't show the landing! I want my money back!
You turn an airplane crash accident into a Broadway farce?
Blech! Now I know why I hate musicals so much.
Haha The video is 747 long. Nice detail clever intern.
Of course the Goose's wife is played by Meg Ryan.
Someone make this a real Broadway show! I'd love to see it!
I wouldn't want him behind the wheel of any vehicle.
3:53 A little 9/11 cringe anyone?
Were do I get the tickets?
"I found the use of the N word surprising but tasteful" hahaha!
Honestly, Ferris is just up for anything, isn't he?
That was an excellent play!
Talk to the goose's wife? The splash zone? 😂 do these people even think about what they are saying!?
Duration of 747? Damn, that's a good one.
Wow, that's impressive when you think about the amount of time, rehearsal and money just for this one bit. The late night show Emmy competition may have tilted to Kimmel with this.
This made me laugh so hard. This is exactly what's happening on Broadway right now (lots of musicals from films) and I loved the people he interviewed at the beginning. So funny!
How did they let this guy fly a plane? He killed two people driving. Lol He doesnt qualify to drive fisher price.
Thank You for the love. It was a real pleasure for my wife and I to have participated. Thank You Tim, Tony, Matthew Broderick, John Krasinski, Guillermo ( HE IS AWESOME) and of course Jimmy Kimmel himself. Jimmy was great. We love you very much all the way from the Bronx.
Hey Michael, it was brief but it was nice meeting and sitting next to you too. Great Job.
How much did they spend on this project? Costumes, songs, actors.
I don't know but it was a great production and the set was awesome. Thank You for the love. It was a real pleasure for my wife and I to have participated. Thank You Tim, Tony, Matthew Broderick, John Krasinski, Guillermo and of course Jimmy Kimmel himself. Jimmy was great. We love you very much all the way from the Bronx.
That was really funny. Love the pink goose shoes.
Shanna Pilon They couldn't afford the more detailed Canada Goose costumes.
ESclips screwed with our settings. I didn't subscribe to this channel and it sent me notification. Must be paid ads.
Chief called. He said this was it.
Give your crew a salute and your mustache a comb!
Yep, mine was down, too. If this is what's on Kimmel tonight, guess I'll watch reruns of Fallon after the monologue.
Did you mean a 'gaggle'....?
Thank You for the love. It was a real pleasure for my wife and I to have participated. Thank You Tim, Tony, Matthew Broderick, John Krasinski, Guillermo and of course Jimmy Kimmel himself. Jimmy was great. We love you very much all the way from the Bronx.
That made my nips hard too.
Matthew Broderick is the best actor from the 80s.
ESclips is back and Mathew Broderick!!!!
Reminds me of the story about the person ranting because he was flying six miles above the earth at almost 600 mph but couldn't call someone in almost any spot on the planet because the service was temporarily down.
Sir I'm from India.......Every day minimum I saw atleast ur 10 videos .....Love u sir........ Fantastic video.
Hey sorry I tripped over they Ethernet cable.
Oddly Wired I think he said that because ESclips was down.
Lol, I want whatever you're smoking.
Ahh ESclips is back, good!
+Domenic Agosto So, it was the Agostos who broke ESclips.
+Gwenevere Nugent I'm more angry about your lack of grammatical knowledge THAN I am about that.
+johnmohanmusic That's a Louis C.K. stand-up bit.
+johnmohanmusic Ok, now you're being redundant and annoying about that stupid incident.
I remember a story about an airline passenger having a temper tantrum. Because while flying at almost the speed of sound more than six miles above the planet, the plane's in flight cell phone service was temporarily out, meaning for a little bit of time he wasn't able to talk to anyone anywhere on the entire planet of his choosing. While flying at nearly 600 mph six miles above the planet. Amazing how idiots take everything for granted.
Lego Studios1912 what happened to ESclips?
@Carrie K ESclips crashed. I went to the website Down Detector and YT was down all over the planet. Google was either doing maintenance or YT was attacked by some group.
Nancy Young oh it happened to everyone too?


Attacks from cryptominers exceeded those of ransomware in 2018, in a deviation from 2017, a report from cybersecurity company Skybox showed.
According to the report, ransomware reigned supreme, accounting for 28% of malware attacks in 2017, while cryptominers only made up 9%. In 2018, ransomware dropped to 13% of malware attacks and cryptominers soared to 27%.
"While cryptomining may seem like a relatively innocuous, low-priority threat, it's important to remember that these attacks slow down system processes and may overwhelm system capacity," said Skybox senior security analyst Sivan Nir.
"More than that, it's impossible to predict what the attacker's end goal may be. The cryptominer may be only part of a larger attack structure. By letting them set up home in your network, you're inviting them to try to gain access to other parts of your environment," he added.
The report also showed that the attack landscape had increased, with at least 16,412 new common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) coming to the fore in 2018, which is a 12% increase over the last year.
"It would come as no surprise if 2019 breaks the CVE record again," said Skybox director of threat intelligence Marina Kidron.
"While more resources in vulnerability research is what's driving these high numbers, that's cold comfort to CISOs (chief information security officers) trying to keep their organisation safe. The challenge of answering, 'What do I fix today?' is only getting harder— unless you have the right information to contextualise this mountain of data," she explained.
Ron Davidson, Skybox tech chief and vice-president of research and development, echoed her.
Other findings of the report include risks to the growing attack surface, including operational technology (OT) networks. The report said that attacks on OT continue to climb, with a 10% increase between 2017 and 2018.
The report also provides examples of attacks on cloud networks including last year's attempt at Tesla's Amazon Web Services network.
"While attackers could have accessed a variety of information, they instead used the opportunity to launch a malicious cryptominer, pointing to a larger trend in the threat landscape of stealing computational power rather than data," the report said.

SANDY — Alexus Martinez was stone-faced and matter-of-fact Monday as she described how she became homeless at age 16 and "learned not to depend on anyone else but myself."
She said she grew up with role models addicted to drugs — heroin and pain pills.
She said she's watched as three of her six brothers also fell into the thralls of drug addiction.
To Martinez — now 20, a single mother with a 1-year-old son, Aurelius — that was their choice.
"They grew up just like me," Martinez said. "They could have made the choice to go down that path like my parents or be successful. And they chose the wrong path."
Martinez is one of nearly 40,000 adults in Utah who lived in intergenerational poverty in 2016, according to the state's newest report released Monday. When her son, Aurelius, was born, he was one of nearly 60,000 children.
Martinez said she dropped out of high school in 10th grade but decided to go back in 11th grade, even while she struggled to keep a roof over her head and afford to eat. She said she worked after school so she could pay for a motel room, but would sometimes have to eat at the homeless shelter downtown.
Eventually, she graduated early. But not without hardship.
"Just trying to survive, … the shelter was pretty scary, very scary. If you're going to eat, if you're going to have clean clothes … It was a struggle." Martinez said, her eyes brimming with tears.
Her once-steady voice cracked. A single tear rolled down her cheek.
"I would never want my son to live like that," she said. "I can change it. I can. I know I can."
Through the Utah Department of Workforce Services' program Invest in You Too, Martinez hopes to break her family's cycle of poverty and addiction.
The Invest in You Too program, a partnership with Salt Lake Community College, is meant to help single women experiencing intergenerational poverty pay for education for a high-demand job — in Martinez's case, medical manufacturing.
The state pays the roughly $1,200-per person cost of the two-month program. Last year, nine women graduated and seven found jobs in the medical manufacturing industry, said Karla Aguirre, who oversees the program for the Department of Workforce Services. This semester, Aguirre said there are 13 women participating.
Martinez is one of those 13. She said she's determined to graduate, and she's already got several promising referrals lined up for a job.
"No one can change my life or my son's life but me," she said.
For six years, state leaders have been studying ways to shrink or disrupt the cycle of intergenerational poverty in Utah.
The 2017 report released Monday shows some encouraging — though "modest" — results. But even though the report shows some improvements for families caught in the cycle, there remains little change in the number of families experiencing intergenerational poverty.
"But there are some positive changes that we're excited about," said Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox at a news conference at Salt Lake Community College Monday.
Those include a rise in graduation rates for children at risk of remaining in poverty, from 50 percent in 2013 to 63 percent in 2016.
"Obviously 63 percent is not where we want to be, but a 13 percent increase over three years is significant, and we're excited about that trend," Cox said. The Invest in You Too program is just one example of the state's effort to break the cycle one family at a time.
Cox said stories like Martinez's are "emotional, real and raw," and "it's incredible to see this success."
"This is why we do what we do. This is what the (state's) intergenerational initiative is all about — trying to change lives one at a time, lifting people out of poverty, breaking that cycle so the next generation can experience that success and that hope," Cox said.
Utah is the only state in the nation to establish a law to reduce intergenerational poverty, Cox said. Legislation passed in 2012 requires the Utah Department of Workforce Services to produce an annual report on its progress.
One of Martinez's classmates, Kaydee Rasmussen, became emotional when she announced Monday she had just learned she would be starting a new job as a project manager with a medical manufacturing company, Evolve Tek, on Tuesday.
Rasmussen, 40, said she spent 10 years addicted to drugs — first pain pills, then heroin and meth — after she suffered a sexual assault that left her with "low self-esteem and self-worth" when she was 26.
She said luckily she had supportive parents and was able to avoid homelessness, but because of her addiction, she had "no prospects" for a stable life for her 2-year-old-son, who was at-risk for intergenerational poverty.
Now 40, Rasmussen said she never thought a career in medical manufacturing would be possible until she learned of the Invest in You Too program.
"It's an opportunity that …," she trailed off as she held back tears, but continued in a trembling voice. "It's an opportunity to better my life. And it's going to take me places that I never thought I was worthy of going. I'm just so grateful — it would have never have happened without this opportunity."

Confident or Confounding?
A recent survey found consumer confidence in the local economy dipped in the third quarter. So the Business Journal asks: Do you feel confident about the direction of the L.A. economy?
Michael Koshet, Off Market Multifamily Specialist, KW Commercial
Yes and no. Yes in the fact that I think L.A. is becoming the leading economy in the nation. It's like the wild, wild West just modernized. Everyone wants a piece of L.A. And no in the sense that I feel in the next 12 to 24 months L.A. will experience a serious shaker that will not only reset the L.A. economy, but all real estate pricing at the same time.
kwcommercial.com/commercial/index.html
Robyn Ward, Chief Executive, FounderForward
Yes, I feel confident about the L.A. economy, despite concerns for the national economy. The L.A. tech scene continues to grow at an impressive rate. In addition to maintaining a dominant role in e-commerce and digital media, L.A. is well-positioned to be a top innovator in the disruption of major industries. Also, L.A. is a city of entrepreneurs and creatives.
founderforward.co
Sean Arian, President, Bixel Exchange
Overall, yes. L.A. is blessed with a diversified, expanding economy with high-growth, high-wage sectors like tech and health care. But we need to work on educational opportunities and economic mobility for the lowest-income Angelenos into these sectors if we want to sustain this growth long-term.

Assume that there is a Logout button, so, please suggest how can i display a feedback form before the user can exit the app. I'll be grateful if you can answer the exact code for this !

A: @GuneetKaur,
1) What you can do is when you press the logout button you can call another Activity that contains your feedback screen.
2) You can show the Alert Dialog when you click the logout button.
3) If you want the same when user clicks the back button to exit the app, then you can override the onBackPress() method and remove the super.onBackPress() from it, then you can maintain the flag that if the user click on back then you can check if feedback is given then you can change the flag to true and then call the finish() method or the super.onBackPress()
4) Same in the case for Alert Dialog.
Please do tell me what code do you need I shall provide the same.
Adding some code for reference
logout_button.setOnClickListener(
 new OnClickListener(View view){
  // Call your Dialog for feedback
          OR
  // Call your Feedback Activity
 }
);

//Generally this below method is called in Activity from where the Application gets closed

 @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
      //Remove this super.onBackPressed();

      // Call your Dialog for feedback
          OR
      // Call your Feedback Activity
   }

A: What you can do is show a dialog.Define a new alert dialog.set its view with the layout you have for the feedback form.
AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
LayoutInflater inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();
View dialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_custom_layout, null,false);
dialogBuilder.setView(dialogView);

EditText editText =(EditText)dialogView.findViewById(R.id.label_field);

like this you can instantiate all your layout items(like a submit button        which the user will hit after filling all the posts).
  Then at the click of your logout button you can show thw alertdialog with following code.
AlertDialog alertDialog = dialogBuilder.create();
alertDialog.show();

A: To specifically accomplish what you ask, you should set an onClickListener programmatically in your code. In that code (which I assume you place in the original activity), you would create an intent to start the feedback form, and then call the finish method in the following line. Calling finish will remove the original activity from the back stack, so that when they press back or finish the feedback form, the app should close.
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
                finish();
        }
});

A: use alert dialogbox when you click logout
                 ViewDialog alert = new ViewDialog();
                 public class ViewDialog {
                    alert.showDialog(MainActivity.this, "GIVE FEADBACK");

       public void showDialog(Activity activity, String msg){
        final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(activity);
        dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        dialog.setCancelable(true);
        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.updatedialog);

        TextView text = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.text_dialog);
        text.setText(msg);

        Button dialogUpdate = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.update);
        Button dialogcancel = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.cancel);
        Button dialogremindme = (Button)     dialog.findViewById(R.id.remindeme);
        TextView textView= (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.machhint1);
        TextView textView2= (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.machhint2);

        dialogcancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });
        dialogUpdate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
            //do code for for update fedabck
                }
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });
        dialogremindme.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
        //if you dont want to send feadback
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });

        dialog.show();

Guilty as charged! I promised you guys more recipes and to be honest, with the launch of my cookbook WHOLE - bowl food for balance, it has been crazy! I am hoping that this insanely delicious smoothie makes up for it. If you haven't shopped my book yet then click here to get your hands on a copy!
As you guys know I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) This is an endocrine disease that stops me from having a regular cycle. I used to feel really ashamed about sharing it with others. However, I have since learned that 8-10% of females at childbearing age have it. I have also learned along the path of discovering my health that it is a solvable problem through healthy eating and lifestyle changes.
It can be overwhelming when you look at the whole picture and you have so many people telling you what not to eat and what to eat. I have learned that the only way I am going to succeed is to make one small change a day or even in a month. All the little changes eventually add up and before you know it you will be leading a healthier lifestyle.
This smoothie bowl is unique because I recently discovered that banana isn't ideal for me to be having as someone with PCOS because it is higher in sugar and sugar triggers hormonal acne. It's not to say a banana is bad. It's just to say that it isn't necessarily good for me as an individual right now. The problem is though, is that I love creamy smoothies. I mean duh, who doesn't. I went down the rabbit hole to find out what solution and I found it. Steamed sweet potato. Yes, you heard me. I steam it, then I freeze it, then I blend it and it is glorious! It makes the smoothies super decadent and delicious and it doesn't overpower the flavours. It's a healthy carb and a great kick starter to my day! I steam the sweet potato then I freeze it placed out on a baking tray so that it doesn't stick together. Once frozen I add them to a freezer safe Tupperware.
If you do this you end up with at least a weeks worth of supply and you can give the bananas a break. Try it and see how you feel. Does your body love it or not so much? It's about listening to what works for you. For now, I am on a mission to make as many small changes as I can in order to achieve normal health and hormonal balance!
1/4 cup almond milk, you can add more if needed.
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Decorate with toppings and serve!
I used to get extreme sugar cravings. Mostly when I was a sugar addict. I never admitted to myself that I was but if I look back, yup, I had a problem. I had to have something sweet after dinner or a chocolate at lunch. When I hit a slump at 3 pm at my desk then I would need something sweet to 'pick me up'. Sugar in my tea and syrup with my peanut butter toast. All loaded with refined sugar and SO not good for me.
Other fruit nectars (for example, pear nectar) - be careful of this as most orange juices will claim 100% fruit juice but if you read the ingredients you will soon realise this is not the case.
I personally do not have a problem with fruit. I don't eat too much and when I do; I feel like I am indulging. Fruit can be packed with vitamins and fibre and can help bust a sugar craving. I try to have my fruit with a handful of nuts such as almonds since the combination of fibre and fat keeps my blood sugar stable and satiates me.
When you first undertake to quit sugar it is going to be hard. You might even experience physical reactions such as headaches and nausea. The detox is real and I suggest that you commit to breaking through this barrier. I upped my water intake during the first week (a good habit to adopt in general) and I focused on taking in high protein foods with high fibre dark leafy greens and veg. Having meals that are nourishing helped me be 'full' and happy. I also learnt that allowing myself to get hungry was not a good idea. Catch yourself before you are hungry and invariably end up in a space where you'll make bad decisions. Focus on what your triggers are and what makes you feel weak at the moment, then focus on avoiding it. Set yourself up to succeed.
1 - I enjoy a big cup of herbal tea without sugar or milk. I find that peppermint helps me bust a craving or chai tea. The spices let the brain think you are having something sweet.
2 - I indulge in a piece of good quality dark chocolate. Paired with a cup of peppermint tea - its a match made in heaven.
3 - I keep fresh majool dates in the fridge. I don't overindulge in them as they are still sugar but they are a natural sugar and when they are cold, they go like fudge. Give them a try! One is usually enough.
4 - I up my dark leafy greens when I am craving chocolate. Especially around my period. I find that it not only helps with cravings but it also helps with bloat.
5 - Have a big glass of water and if you can add a teaspoon or two of apple cider vinegar. Make sure it is unfiltered with the mother. More often than not when I am craving food - its actually thirst. Did you know that one of the first symptoms of dehydration is hunger? Before I would just go for the fridge and binge on everything in front of me. Now I am more connected to my body and I have a glass of water when I feel like snacking on sugar, give it twenty minutes then see how I feel.
6 - Eat a high protein snack instead of the sugar. Try having some carrot sticks and hummus or a boiled egg. This helps me and often fills me up until my next meal.
7 - If I feel for a treat, I have some sliced apple drizzled with almond butter. I try to have this mid-morning not later in the afternoon. Focus on high protein food in the afternoon rather than sugar. This also helps me with over eating at dinner.
When I find myself craving something super decadent and indulging, I make myself this smoothie. It's better than any milkshake out there and filled with natural goodness that won't leave you feeling awful about it afterwards.
Add all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If it is too thick then add a little almond milk to thin it out. I personally like it thick. Serve cold topped with a drizzle of almond butter and berries.
This bowl is one of my go-to bowls to make for lunch or dinner. I love it because you can make all the elements individually for meal prep or you can roast everything in one pan and make it a one pan wonder. If you make it individually then the same roasting rules applies to each veggie you are roasting, you'll just have more dishes! Its filled with all the flavours and packs a punch of protein with the chickpeas. I have added some spice but this is something totally optional. Play around with it and see what makes your taste buds sing!
3-4 tablespoons olive oil - I use 4.
In a large roasting tin add the chickpeas, zucchini, cherry tomatoes and cover with the coconut oil. Add the spices and toss until evenly covered. Season and pop it into the oven for 35-45 minutes or until all your veggies are golden brown and soft. Keep an eye on them so that the chickpeas don't burn and toss the veggies at the halfway point.
Cook the rice as per packet instructions. Once ready, set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together all the ingredients for the dressing.
Once the veggies are ready remove them from the oven. Add the rice to the roasting tray along with the dressing, rocket and nutritional yeast. Mix together until well combined.
Add the salad to your serving dish. Top with sliced avo. Sprinkle over the buckwheat and pumpkin seeds and serve!
If you lead a stressful life, which most of us do, we often reach for a coffee first thing in the morning. The problem with this can be that you can put your adrenal glands under more stress and set yourself up for a day of caffeine spikes and lows. As much as you need the energy, sometimes coffee isn't the solution.
I've teamed up with Le Creuset to bring you a healthy coffee alternative that is not only delicious but is anti-inflammatory and soothing to the body. Of course, I am showing it off in their new gorgeous deep teal range. My favourite colour to date! To say I am obsessed is putting it mildly. With its restful green hues and soothing blues, I thought it would work beautifully with something that will calm your body rather than send it into overdrive. Nourishing your body means looking after it when it needs it the most.
I have created my turmeric lattes or sunshine mylk, as I like to call it with sunflower seeds. This means that the drink is high in fiber, as you don't strain the milk. If this is something that isn't your taste you are more than welcome to substitute it with almond milk or a milk substitute of your choice. When choosing one, try focus on nut milk, as they tend to be better for you than soy-based products. If you are not used to Turmeric lattes maybe try it with almond milk and see how you go.
If you are using a milk alternative use 3 cups.
Add all the ingredients plus the coconut butter and dates to a high-speed blender. You need something high speed to macerate the seeds. Once it is all combined add it to a saucepan. If you are using almond milk then add the almond milk, coconut butter, and dates.
Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Serve immediately.
If you would like to store the mylk it will keep for 3 days in the fridge. Separation is normal as the fiber is in the mylk.
The mylk can also turn slightly brown from oxidation - don't worry its still lovely to drink!
p.s deep teal is part of Le Creuset's new Natures Kitchen collection and is available storewide and online here from March 2018.

Humans evolved over millions of years on the dry savannahs of east Africa. Here, to this day, mobile hunter-gatherer tribes lead an extraordinarily peaceful, cooperative, and egalitarian lifestyle. Some 15,000 years ago, humans first began to hold territory when they created permanent settlements in a corner of the Fertile Crescent. These first settlers quickly became highly unequal, as apparent from their burials—a few big graves packed with luxury goods surrounded by others containing barely more than skeletons. With the invention of agriculture some 3000 years later, extremely unequal societies exploded across the ancient middle east and eventually around the globe. Warfare for territory became routine. Empires rose and fell. Yet there's a lesson from the more successful empires, such as the Chinese, Ottoman, and British: Empires that relied on systematically collecting land taxes were both more prosperous, more equal, and more durable. The classical economists, including Adam Smith, recognized the superiority of land taxes. Over a hundred years ago, the American economist and progressive leader, Henry George, crusaded successfully to make land taxes the sole source of public revenue. His legacy, often unrecognized, continues today.
The 2018 Walsh Lecture will be delivered by Professor Polly Cleveland. Polly is an economist focusing on wealth distribution. Since fall 2007, she has been Adjunct Professor of Environmental Economics at the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs.
Mary M. (Polly) Cleveland is an economist and long-time activist for social justice. She is the Executive Director of the Association for Georgist Studies (AGS), named for the great nineteenth-century American economist and reformer, Henry George. George attributed the persistence of poverty in the midst of economic growth to concentrated ownership of land and other natural resources. He advocated taxing the "rent" of land as a remedy. AGS seeks to bring George's ideas-and his questions-back into the discussion of scholars and writers in economics and other social sciences. Since 1997, she has been a member of Boston-based United for a Fair Economy (UFE) and on the board of UFE from 2002 to 2006. She has helped organize a number of UFE events in New York with prominent speakers, including Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Edward Wolff, Kevin Phillips, Robert Frank, Bill Gates Sr., Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz.
From 1994-2004 she served on the Board of the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation and was President from 2003-2004. The Foundation publishes Progress and Poverty and other work by Henry George, as well as work influenced by George. From 1994-2001, she was the Director of Research at The Partnership for Responsible Drug Information, a non-profit that encourages open and well-informed discussion of drug policy.
Dr. Cleveland received a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984. Her dissertation, entitled Consequences and Causes of Unequal Distribution of Wealth, addressed George's basic questions in a modern model, showing how unequal distribution of wealth lowers economic productivity and growth.
She is a Research Scholar in economics at Barnard College and Adjunct Professor of Economics in the Master's Program in Environmental Science and Policy at the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs. She writes an occasional column "Econamici," which is posted to the AGS website.

In her new Netflix movie, "Dumplin," Jennifer Aniston plays a former Texas beauty queen whose plus-sized daughter stages a protest by entering the beauty pageant she runs.
Aniston reveals in a new interview that she was attracted to the film because it reminded her of her own fraught relationship with her mother, Nancy Dow, who was similarly obsessed with standard ideals of female beauty and who didn't think her daughter measured up. Dow, an actress and model, died in 2016.
"She was a model and she was all about presentation and what she looked like and what I looked like," Aniston, 49, explained in an interview with the Daily Telegraph.
Of course, many consider Aniston to be one of America's most glamorous and admired female celebrities, with her honey-blond hair and slender, seemingly ageless body. She always turns heads on red carpets or in magazine spreads.
But Aniston has long talked about how she never felt "gorgeous," and she says that's because of Dow.
Cover of Nancy Dow's 1999 memoir of life with her famous daughter Jennifer Aniston.
For these reasons, Aniston's new role in "Dumplin" really hit a nerve.
"It was something that really resonated with me, this little girl just wanting to be seen and wanting to be loved by a mom who was too occupied with things that didn't quite matter," Aniston told The Daily Telegraph.
"Dumplin," based on a young adult novel of the same name, follows a teenage girl named Willowdean, who enrolls in her mother's Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant as a way to break barriers and push boundaries. Her mother, Rosie Dickson, is ruffled by her daughter's choice and by other girls signing up when they don't have the usual beauty queen looks.
Aniston's mother was a TV actress in the 1960s, appearing in shows such as "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Wild Wild West." In 1965, she married actor John Aniston, who later became known for his role on "Days of Our Lives." Dow and Aniston divorced in 1980.
Aniston's difficult relationship with her mother made news in 1999 when Dow published a tell-all, "From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir." The women started to mend their rift in 2005 after Aniston's divorce from first husband Brad Pitt, but their relationship never fully healed, according to the Daily Mail.
They had little contact until 2011, when Dow suffered a stroke, the Daily Mail said. That's reportedly the last time they saw each other until two weeks before Dow's death in 2016 at age 79. Aniston didn't invite her mother to her to her 2015 wedding to Justin Theroux. Her father also didn't attend the wedding, but the father and daughter have remained close, the Daily Mail said.
Netflix releases "Dumplin" on Dec. 7.

Q: My EC2 Linux Failing to connect to awscli.amazonaws.com:443 My Linux EC2 Instance comes up under VPC --> subnet with proper route table having Internet gateway (0.0.0.0/0 as destination).
It comes up with Private IPv4 address assigned to it, no Public IPv4.
Attached the related Security group and NACL screenshot.
Security Group
NACL
Under Security Group, I have opened:

*

*HTTPS (443) to 0.0.0.0/0,

*ssh (22) to my machine IP and my VPC CIDR range.

After I ssh into my EC2 instance using the Private IPv4 address and keys, I've been trying to add AWS cli to my instance
My ec2 instance produces this after I enter this:
curl https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64-2.0.30.zip -o awscliv2.zip

Error:

0curl: (7) Failed connect to awscli.amazonaws.com:443;

Where is the problem?

A: Could you check if your instance has any firewall running? You can disable the firewalls (if any) using these commands :
# For Uncomplicated Firewall
sudo ufw disable

# For firewalld
sudo systemctl disable firewalld --now

Also, the official documentation for aws cli installation has double quotes surrounding the https address (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html)
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
This may or may not be the issue but its worth a try.

A: If your instance is in the private subnet and has no public IP, you can't route through Internet Gateway. You have to route through some NAT device. The simplest is NAT Gateway, although you can also set up an EC2 instance to serve same purpose.
When you set up a new VPC using (recently added) wizard, it offers you an option to create public and private subnets and NAT Gateway automatically. Or you can add it to an existing VPC following these instructions.
Note, that unlike Internet Gateway, NAT Gateway is not free
PS. Sorry again for misunderstanding your question.


Are you sure that gathering data without your players knowing about it is a good idea? As you are skilled in programming, why not add an interview form at the end of your game and ask them what they liked/disliked about it? I, as a player, would appreciate it more than you spying on me without my knowing.

Minimum wage on Prince Edward Island increases to $14.50
Jan. 1, 2023 10:30 a.m.
The first of two increases that will boost Prince Edward Island's minimum wage to $15 by the end of the year comes into effect on Sunday.
A news release from the province's Department of Economic Growth says minimum wage is set to increase by 80 cents to $14.50 on Jan. 1, and will rise a further 50 cents on Oct. 1.
The minimum wage increase for P.E.I. was first announced in the fall.
The three other Atlantic provinces all raised minimum wage rates at some point in 2022.
Minimum wages in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador stand at $13.75 and $13.70, respectively.
The 25-cent increase Nova Scotia instituted in October pushed the rate to $13.60. The province says it plans to have a minimum wage of $15 an hour in place by October 2024, while both P.E.I. and Newfoundland plan to reach that benchmark this fall.

"I try to explain to the parents the importance of contraceptives"
Raphel Marafan Kori, earns an income as a peer educator with Lesotho Planned Parenthood Association (LPPA). Nine months into her role, she goes door to door in her village trying to ensure parents understand the needs of adolescents in their village and why contraception and services like HIV testing is a protective measure for young people.
"Our being here is actually bringing the service to where they are and where they need it"
Bolelwa Falten in based in Lesotho's capital, Maseru, and has been working as an HIV counselor for the better part of a decade. She handles five different Lesotho Planned Parenthood Association posts, providing communities with everything from contraception to HIV testing.
"This is a relief. I'm feeling very happy now that services have been brought"
34-year old Makamohelo Tlali is a relatively new beneficiary of family planning services offered monthly at a Lesotho Planned Parenthood Association (LPPA) post near her village. She was encouraged to visit the family planning clinic by a peer mobilizer going door to door in her village.
"Women in our communities use many unsafe methods to try to end pregnancies"
Fatima is a midwife and has worked for the Palestinian Family Planning and Protection Agency for 18 years. Her work has not only positively impacted her community but also her personal life.
"The students don't normally ask about abortion as it is such a taboo"
Amani is a 24 year old midwife and volunteer peer educator with the Palestinian Family Planning and Protection Agency. Her role as a volunteer involves her visiting schools to discuss sexual health in a climate that has many 'taboo' issues such as abortion and sex outside of marriage. This is her story.
"From my experience the situation in relation to abortion in Palestine is very hard"
Women and girls seeking an abortion face a number of barriers in accessing abortion care. Women like Khawla*, who with three children already and pre-existing health conditions, did not want to continue her pregnancy. Palestine Family Planning and Protection Agency (PFPPA), were there to help ensure she got the care and support she needed.
In pictures: Togo and the rise in contraception use
Contraception use is on the rise, partly thanks to the outreach work The Association Togolaise pour le Bien-Être Familial (ATBEF), in rural communities. Using a network of community-based volunteers and village leaders, ATBEF is reaching as many people as possible.
"I want to use it for a couple of years and then maybe we will think about having another child"
The unmet need for contraception in Togo currently stands at 34% of the population. Association Togolaise pour le Bien-Être Familial (ATBEF) are turning clients like Dahide and village chief Sossou Sagna into family planning advocates within their communities.
"Some of the young women can't educate their own children because they had to drop out of school themselves"
Abla Abassa is a community health worker for Association Togolaise pour le Bien-Être Familial (ATBEF), Togo. She is one of 279 community workers in her region and her work takes her to the remotes areas where the unmet need for contraception is the greatest.
"I wanted to work with the parents so we can stop marrying off these girls too young"
Realizing the importance of involving village leaders to educate their local communities on the harms of forced early marriage and forced sex work in rural areas, Association Togolaise Pour le Bien-Être Familial (ATBEF) created the Village Girl Protection Charters. To date, 870 villages have signed up.
