(Photo by JHU Sheridan Libraries/Gado/Getty Images).Getty ImagesThe massive layoffs of healthcare workers will now trickle down to some of the most elite institutions in the country. Johns Hopkins University will soon eliminate more than 2,000 jobs as a result of recent cuts to the USAID, according to a report from NBC news. The cuts will involve 1,975 jobs internationally as well as 247 in the U.S. More than 100 employees are also set to be furloughed.Most of the employees affected are affiliated with the Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the medical school and an affiliate nonprofit organization. Here are how these layoffs will have devastating consequences for public health and the well-being of Americans.One of the programs in India, known as Accelerate, will directly be affected by the cuts from Johns Hopkins. Since 2019, this program has helped in detecting and preventing HIV in India. Since its inception, it has provided testing for nearly 120,000 people for HIV, diagnosed 20,000 new cases and delivered medicine to about 8,000 children with HIV.Without this program in full force, less children will receive HIV treatment, less Indians will be diagnosed with HIV and people will continue to suffer. The consequences may not occur overnight, but with time, people will have less access to medicines which will weaken their immune systems and allow them to acquire all sorts of infections that otherwise they would be protected against.Dr. Sunil Solomon, an epidemiologist who helps lead Accelerate, said, there definitely is gonna be a lot of lives lost from this program.Other important public health initiatives will also be affected in profound ways. Programs included to be halted include a tuberculosis research program as well as a clinical trial in Bangladesh designed to reduce outbreaks of cholera and other diarrheal diseases. A pause on these initiatives means more people abroad will start to transmit some of these deadly diseases like tuberculosis. Diseases do not have borders, and in the future, the health of Americans is at risk given the ease at which travel occurs and how readily diseases can be transmitted.Johns Hopkins has been at the forefront of responding to global health emergencies, including but not limited to infectious disease outbreaks. Diminishing the workforce will impair rapid response capabilities, surveillance and research capabilities that remain essential for managing future health threats that are nearly always present such as the bird flu and measles.Johns Hopkins and many institutions across the United States are already facing enormous funding challenges. The Trump administration last month planned to limit the National Institute of Healths research grants by capping indirect costs to 15%, which translates to a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars of funding for many institutions including Johns Hopkins. Although the policy is currently being challenged in court, the amount of federal funding for research at institutions across the country remains uncertain.All of these cuts in federal funding including the recent layoffs from prestigious institutions undermine academic autonomy and the integrity of public research. Critical and lifesaving health initiatives should remain free from political pressure. Universities should not have to choose between providing lifesaving care for HIV and funding the salaries of critical public health workers.These actions set a dangerous precedent moving forward for protecting public health, research and humanitarian aid. The United States has always been a leader in global health, and it must continue to do so. The lives of millions of vulnerable people are dependent on it.

Table of ContentsTable of ContentsUpgrade, or not?What to expect from Galaxy Tab S10 FE series?Samsung is expected to launch new budget-centric tablets in the coming weeks, expanding its portfolio of Fan Edition devices. But it seems the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 FE series of slates will test the loyalty of Samsung enthusiasts with a higher asking price.The folks over at YTechB have shared the purported pricing structure for the vanilla Galaxy Tab S10 FE and its Plus variant, and it seems a minimum price hike worth $50 is on the horizon. This is what the outlet shared: Galaxy Tab S10 FE (8GB RAM /128GB storage) $499Galaxy Tab S10 FE (12GB RAM / 256GB storage) $569Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ (8GB RAM /128GB storage) $649Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ (12GB RAM / 256GB storage) $749Recommended VideosFor comparison, the baseline Galaxy Tab S FE started at $450 in the US, for the entry-level variant with 6GB of RAM. This time around, Samsung has equipped the most affordable model with 8GB of RAM, so theres that meaningful upgrade to make the increased price a tad more palatable.Please enable Javascript to view this contentInterestingly, Samsung is also bumping up the RAM capacity on the higher-end model, taking it from 8GB to 12GB, while the peak onboard storage remains the same at 256 GB. Of course, that upgrade will come at a $50 premium, as well.SammyGuru / OnLeaksThe Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus, on the other hand, started at $600, while its successor might hit the shelves at $650. Unfortunately, buyers wont find RAM or storage upgrades on the Plus variant, despite paying a higher premium for it. The Plus model will also deliver another unsavory surprise. Despite commanding a higher asking price, it will come with one less rear camera than its predecessor, as per leaked renders of the upcoming tablet.As far as the design goes, Samsung is sticking with a familiar all-metal look with flat sides. This year, the screen size is going up, following in the footsteps of the iPad Air. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ will reportedly offer a 13.1-inch screen, slightly bigger than Apples mid-range tablet. Were not sure if an OLED upgrade is in the pipeline this year, but given the marketing placement of this tablet, I am not hopeful. Coming to the innards, Samsung will reportedly rely on the in-house Exynos 1580 silicon.As per alleged benchmarks, this processor is roughly 32% faster ticking inside the upcoming tablet, compared to the Exynos 1380 silicon powering the Galaxy Tab S9 series. Based on our tests, the Exynos 1580 powering the Galaxy A56 is faster than Qualcomms Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 silicon driving the Nothing Phone 3a Pro at single-core benchmarks. However, Samsungs processor cant quite beat Qualcomms mobile processor at multi-core workflows.Both variants of the Galaxy Tab S10 FE tablet will offer stylus support out of the box, and will also support 45W wired charging, the fastest that Samsung has to offer. For now, details about the rest of the innards are under wraps, but visits to the regulatory databases suggest that an official launch is right around the corner. Editors Recommendations

2025-03-15T18:17:02Z Read in app The author is parenting three teenagers (not pictured). ruizluquepaz/Getty Images This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now.Have an account? When my three kids were young, I had no problem teaching them life rules.Now that they're teens, I have no idea how to parent them.I'm trying to stay out of their way in hopes they can learn independence.When my kids were younger, I felt like I knew what I was doing. I knew what I had to teach them, how to discipline them, and how to keep them safe.Those little kids have grown into three teenagers, and now I'm at a loss. As a single mother, I don't know how to properly parent teenagers; it's something I've clearly never done before.I sometimes want to tell them: I've got no clue about trigonometry, why Jessica isn't talking to you today, or how to improve your "Snapstreak."While I continue to make it up as I go along and hopefully not cause any permanent damage along the way, there are a few things I've learned from trial and error.I'm trying to be more like a coach and less like a managerWhen my kids were younger, I took the rules-based approach to parenting. I taught my kids how they must treat other people, how they must engage with their education, and how they must contribute to our family and community. These were easy rules to model and teach.But the rule-based parenting that helped me run a tight ship when they were small children and pre-teens doesn't cut it any longer.I've realized that micromanaging their lives to ensure they follow the rules is futile. These days, I'm taking a more back-seat role.My oldest is in his last year of high school. He is adamant that he is studying and that his education is under control. I've made it clear that I am here for assistance whenever he wants, but I'm not checking to ensure he's getting all his schoolwork done. Maybe he's in his room gaming rather than revising his essays. But if I hover over him now, then what happens when he's off at college next year or when he's at work and something doesn't go right?Being independent and learning how to ask for help are among the most important skills kids need to learn. Giving them space is the only way I know how to teach them that.I definitely don't have all the answers, but I hope that by listening, enabling my kids to talk things through, and providing my opinion, they'll make the choices that are right for them.A good coach watches the play and has a couple of tricks up their sleeve from past experience, but at the end of the day, they can't take the field.Sometimes, I feel like an extra in the story of their livesAfter all the cooking, cleaning, driving around, coordinating schedules, and completing my own job, some days, I feel like nothing more than an extra in the drama that is a teenager's life.Apparently, the difficulties and injustices they face are beyond my understanding, and I "just don't get it!"On these days, I remind myself to step back and let the drama unfold. Sitting on the sidelines is bittersweet. I am growing increasingly aware that all too soon, they won't need me anymore, but I also get to witness how they're growing and maturing.Soon, they'll move out and become adultsI'm sure when my youngest is 17, I'll be better equipped to navigate the dramas and emotions of teenagers annoyingly, becoming an expert once the skill is unnecessary.Still, I remind myself now is the time for me to lay the foundations for adult relationships with my kids because no matter what age they are, they will always need me in some way.Perhaps more important than that, I need to think about my own life and make plans for the time and freedom from responsibility that awaits me. As a single parent, my nest will be well and truly empty, so what am I going to fill it with?We are far from perfect, but my teenagers and I are doing OK, and, most importantly, we're continuing to learn from each other.

I tried Ina Garten's recipe for shepherd's pie.The meal was easy to make and took less than an hour to prepare.The pie's filling was flavorful and savory, while the mashed potatoes were perfectly creamy.I'm an Irish-American, but I didn't grow up eating shepherd's pie.This traditional Irish dish has its origins in the late 1700s, when rural women made it using ingredients from their Sunday roast dinner to repurpose leftover food, Britannica reported.However, shepherd's pie has become a favorite in the US, as well. While Irish versions typically use lamb, many American versions of the recipe use ground beef or turkey instead, and celebrity chefs like Ina Garten have published their own unique spins on comfort food that are perfect for weeknight meals.Garten is one of the most beloved celebrity chefs with a reported net worth in the millions, 13 cookbooks under her belt, and a devoted fan following so her shepherd's pie seemed a good place for me to start. Her recipe, which was reposted by the recipe blog Half-Scratched,calls for ingredients like carrots, celery, white button mushrooms, ground turkey, and homemade mashed potatoes.Here's how to make Ina Garten's shepherd's pie.I started by peeling my Yukon gold potatoes.Peeled potatoes. Erin McDowell/Business Insider A bag of potatoes typically weighs around 5 pounds, but the recipe only called for 3 pounds of potatoes. I found, in the end, that this was the perfect amount to fully cover the pie.I then chopped the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and placed them in a pot with water.Peeled and chopped potatoes. Erin McDowell/Business Insider I simmered the potatoes until they were tender. This took about 20 minutes.I used a time-saving hack to prepare my vegetables.Chopped vegetables. Erin McDowell/Business Insider The recipe called for finely diced carrots, celery, and white button mushrooms. I decided to use a food processor to easily chop up my vegetables. I liked the end result and found this was the simplest way to prepare all the vegetables in seconds.I also hand-chopped some mushrooms to add more texture.Mushrooms. Erin McDowell/Business Insider After my vegetables were chopped, I set them aside in a small bowl and turned my attention towards cooking the meat.The recipe calls for 1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey meat, but you can get creative if you don't want to use turkey.Cooked ground turkey meat. Erin McDowell/Business Insider You can use practically any kind of ground meat you would like, or even plant-based ground meat if you're vegetarian. I ended up liking the choice of ground turkey since it made the very stick-to-your-bones meal a little bit lighter than if I had used meat with higher fat content.I ended up using a package and a half of ground turkey.While the turkey cooked, I crumbled it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Once the meat was fully cooked, I removed it from the pan with a slotted metal spoon and left behind the fat in the pan.The recipe also called for diced onion.Diced onion. Erin McDowell/Business Insider I chopped it using the food processor again and added it to the pan.I started to saut the onion, and it filled my kitchen with a delicious aroma. There should be enough fat in the pan from the turkey to saut the onion, but you can also add olive oil or butter if you don't have enough liquid.I then added the other vegetables and cooked them down until they were combined and soft.Shepherd's pie filling. Erin McDowell/Business Insider I also added flour to the pan, which created a paste-like combination.I then added chicken broth and cooked the mixture until it was fully combined and some of the liquid had evaporated.Shepherd's pie filling. Erin McDowell/Business Insider I also added tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, and frozen peas to the pan and continued cooking the filling until it reached a simmer.After stirring in the turkey, the mixture was really starting to resemble what I knew as the filling of shepherd's pie.Shepherd's pie filling. Erin McDowell/Business Insider I removed the bay leaves and herb sprigs before seasoning the mixture to taste and setting it aside.After I had finished the pie filling, I started getting my potatoes ready for baking.Hand-mashing potatoes. Erin McDowell/Business Insider After draining the potatoes, I hand-mashed them in the same pot I cooked them in. The recipe called for using a hand mixer, but I found a potato masher to be just as effective at making creamy mashed potatoes, especially after adding in a mixture of whole milk, almost a stick of Kerry Gold butter, and sour cream.The potatoes turned out perfectly creamy.Mashed potatoes. Erin McDowell/Business Insider I seasoned them to taste and set them aside. I then preheated my oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.I added the pie filling to a large casserole dish and used a spoon to create an even layer of the meat and vegetables.Shepherd's pie without the mashed potatoes. Erin McDowell/Business Insider There was a perfect amount of filling to create a thick layer.I spread the creamy mashed potatoes over the filling, making sure to get it up to the edges of the pan.Ina Garten's shepherd's pie. Erin McDowell/Business Insider Despite never having made this dish before, I found the process easy to follow and not overwhelming at all. I also had a spoonful of mashed potatoes left over to taste and thought they were delicious.I wanted to have a deep-golden crust on the mashed potatoes, so I let the pie cook a bit longer than the recipe suggested.Ina Garten's shepherd's pie. Erin McDowell/Business Insider I cooked the pie in the oven for about half an hour, although the recipe suggested it would be done after 20 minutes. All in all, the recipe took me less than an hour in total to prepare.All ovens can vary slightly in cook time, so I suggest checking the dish until you're happy with the result.When I served the pie, it was piping hot and delicious. I would definitely make this recipe again for St. Patricks Day.Ina Garten's shepherd's pie. Erin McDowell/Business Insider It didn't quite hold its shape, but I imagine it would have if I had let the pie sit for a minute or two before I served it. However, I simply couldn't resist diving in.The mashed potatoes were creamy, the filling was perfectly seasoned, and the vegetables all came through in a medley of flavors. It was simple enough to be convenient for a weeknight meal, yet impressive enough for a dinner party.The recipe also made enough to feed six people and in my experience, with plenty of leftovers, so it also seemed a cost-effective option to feed a family or to prep meals for the week.In my book, this cozy recipe got a thumbs up.

By Matt Novak Published March 15, 2025 | Comments (9) | Screenshot from an AI-generated video tweeted by Mark Cuban on March 14, 2025. Screenshot: Bluesky Mark Cuban is probably best known as that billionaire on Shark Tank. But did you also know hes quickly becoming the worst poster on Bluesky? Its true. Cuban shared an AI-generated video on Friday that may rank as the single worst piece of media ever created for an emerging social media platform. And thats obviously an extremely high bar. What did Cuban share? Well, its kind of hard to explain. Imagine the kind of political video that makes absolutely nobody happy and manages to piss off anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Imagine the kind of video that asks the question, what if fascists are actually our best friends? Imagine the kind of video that has Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi in MAGA hats and Donald Trump hugging Barack Obama.The video, was sent out by Cuban with the caption You have to manifest it first? and Cuban himself even makes an AI-appearance next to a poorly rendered versions of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk. The theme of the video is MAUA, or Make America United Again. You have to manifest it first? [image or embed] Mark Cuban (@mcuban.bsky.social) March 14, 2025 at 12:03 PM Yep, thats quite a video, isnt it? Just absolute dogshit wrapped in AIthe aesthetics of fascism at this point. Its also just not very well made from a technical standpoint.Like, what the hell is going on here? Thats Trump? $154,000/month Screenshot: Mark Cuban / Bluesky Mark Cuban was embraced by Kamala Harriss presidential campaign in 2024 as a billionaire who could apparently offer some advice on technology policy, including crypto. And there have been plenty of rumors about how Cuban himself might want to run for president one day. Kara Swisher, the billionaire tech mogul whisperer herself, recently said she thinks it could happen. But people who like Cuban as a potential political candidate seem to be living in a very antiquated version of Democratic politics. Cuban is a centrist at a time when extremism has taken root in the Republican Party. So many Democrats seem convinced that Harriss problem is that she was too extreme, despite the fact that she was campaigning with literal Republicans like Liz Cheney and never shared a stage with the extreme lefty candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.Cuban has made a transition to Bluesky as some kind of protest against Musk and his connections to Trump, as these guys completely destroy the U.S. government. And yet, Cuban is sharing a video about how its great to unite with these fascists. Its all very confusing. But at least some Democrats are joining in the spirit of Cubans Make America United Again campaign. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, helped push forward the Republican spending package that keeps the government open. Schumers rationale is that if they didnt let the Republicans have everything they want, Musk would fire a bunch of federal employees, something hes already been doing.No, Schumers logic doesnt make any sense. But at least the Democrats got absolutely nothing in return for giving Trump everything he wanted. In fact, Trump even praised Schumer Friday morning for his support. Way to go, Chuck.

Keeping your passwords safe and secure is crucial: Theyre what unlock all of your digital accounts, from email clients to social media apps to payment services, and these are places where you dont want unwelcome visitors wandering around.In the modern age, most of us have dozens of these accounts at leastbut to maintain high levels of security, you need passwords that are unique and lengthy, which gives you the problem of having to remember them all.The fix is using a password manager, which remembers all your logins for you (and even helps you invent strong passwords). There are plenty to choose from, but here well take a look at the Google Password Manager, which is free to use and works on most devices.Finding and setting up Google Password ManagerThe obvious place to start with the Google Password Manager, if youre completely new to it, is inside Google Chrome on the desktop. On any open tab, click the three dots (top right), then choose Passwords and Autofill > Google Password Manager. From here you can view and edit passwords, check for weak and duplicated passwords, and configure how the Google Password Manager works inside Chrome.Click Settings, then Offer to save passwords and passkeysthis means Chrome will remember your logins in the future. You can also import passwords from another password manager, if needed, from the same screen. Once your passwords have been remembered, you can enable Sign in automatically to speed up the sign-in process when you land on a recognized site.You can start by saving passwords in Chrome for the desktop. Screenshot: Google That sets you up for Chrome on your computer, but to get at your passwords from any device, you need to sync all of this information to your Google account. From a Chrome tab, click the three dots (top right), then Settings > You and Google. If youre not already signed into Google, you can do that here, and click Sync and Google services > Manage what you sync to sync passwords to the cloud and other devices.Youre up and running, but there are other places to get at the Google Password Manager. Theres actually a web interface that closely mirrors the interface you get inside Chromebut you can get at it in any web browser or in Chrome when youre not signed into your Google account (on someone elses laptop, maybe).As you would expect, Google Password Manager is tightly integrated into Android. From Settings, choose Passwords, passkeys and accounts (Pixel phones), or Security and privacy > More security settings > Passwords, passkeys, and autofill (Galaxy phones). Set up Google Password Manager here, and your passwords will be saved and retrieved for recognized apps on Android as well as inside Chrome.Google Password Manager is built right into Android. Screenshot: Google Google Chrome for Android comes with the Google Password Manager too, of course, for websitesjust make sure youre signed into the same Google account thats associated with your passwords. Tap the three dots (top right) on any tab, then Settings and Google Password Manager to get at your passwords.You can get at the Google Password Manager on an iPhone too, but the integration isnt quite as comprehensive, and you need Google Chrome for iOS installed. From any open tab inside the mobile browser, tap the three dots (bottom right), then Password Manager. You can also head to iOS Settings, and choose General > Autofill & Passwords, and enable Chromethis means youll be able to sign into iOS apps outside Chrome using your saved credentials (though you wont be able to save new credentials).Managing login credentials in Google Password ManagerAfter you have Google Password Manager up and running on all your devices, everything should run pretty smoothly: Every time you log into a website or app for the first time, youll be asked if you want to save the login information (and youll see another prompt if you update your password). When you open a website or app thats recognized, Google Password Manager jumps in and supplies the details.There are a few more tricks to know about, which well cover in relation to the web appthough the same options are available wherever you can get at the Google Password Manager. Log into the web interface, and you can either search for a site or app, or just scroll through the list. Click on any entry to see login information.You can easily edit or delete passwords. Screenshot: Google The options on the next screen let you copy a password to the clipboard, add a note to it (handy for organizing lots of passwords), edit the password manually, or delete it from the list entirelywhich is a good idea for apps and sites you no longer use, or in instances where the password manager has created a duplicate for some reason.At the top of the Google Password Manager front screen, and on the individual listings pages, youll see warnings about weak passwords, duplicate passwords, and passwords that have been exposed in data leaks. Whenever you see one of these warnings, its a good idea to follow the instructions for changing your password as soon as you can.
