In a release about the conference, Samsung said the Galaxy Ring "simplifies everyday wellness, supporting smarter and healthier living via a more connected digital wellness platform — Samsung Health."

Samsung Galaxy Ring collects health data without complicated interface

Samsung revealed new details at Monday's tech conference after teasing the product at a press conference earlier this year, CNBC reported.

Wired learned the following about the ring at a roundtable event Monday:

  • The Galaxy Ring will be marketed for people who want the benefits of tracking their health data without having to learn a new device as the data feeds to a Samsung app.
  • The data collected will be more from sleep and health than fitness. For example, the Samsung ring will not have workout auto-detection feature that the Oura Ring provides.
  • It will provide fertility tracking.
  • It is not intended to replace the Samsung Galaxy Watch series, and using both at the same time could improve the data users receive.

Tom Holland once said that he thinks he has no “ rizz ,” shorthand for “charisma,” whatsoever. But it just so happens his girlfriend Zendaya disagrees. “I think someone who has beautiful charisma… is Mr. Tom Holland,” she said in an  interview  with Buzzfeed published Thursday, issuing a rare comment on her partner. Taking it a step further, the “Dune” star went on to say that Holland possesses more “rizz” than she does because, believe it or not, she’s actually kind of “shy and kind of quiet.” Because of that, Zendaya said, “it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell, but he’s great at just talking to people and getting to know people.”   Because of that, Zendaya said, “it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell, but he’s great at just talking to people and getting to know people.” “You see him on talk shows and stuff like that, he’s just naturally very good at that.

 to climate c LOS ANGELES — A wave of intense rainstorms has accelerated landslides and contributed to damaging coastal erosion in California, leaving  multimillion-dollar homes on cliffs’ edge,  sending  hundred-foot palm trees toppling into the surf  and forcing the closure of a historic chapel.  The state is now drying out, but impacts from a second season of extreme rainfall could be felt for years to come. Climate change, which is intensifying rates of rainfall, spurring sea level rise and making droughts more severe, is contributing to some of the forces reshaping the California landscape.  This season’s storms have offered Californians a dramatic reveal and a preview of the consequences of a warming world, as slow-moving processes that scientists have warned about accelerate in plain view. Mike Phipps, a geologist with the geotechnical engineering firm Cotton, Shires and Associates, said landslide risk and sea level rise are combining to reshape the California coastline.   “The
