  • Doctors sue U.S. health agencies for removing health data websites per Trumps order
    www.fastcompany.com
    A medical advocacy group on Tuesday sued the main U.S. health agencies over the sudden removal of websites containing public health information in response to an executive order by President Donald Trump targeting what his administration deemed to be gender ideology extremism.Doctors for America said in the lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C., federal court, that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has removed numerous longstanding websites since the order.Those include a page on behavioral health risks among youth, which the lawsuit says is important for understanding health challenges faced by young people, including bullying and vaping; pages with data on the prevalence of HIV and associated risky behaviors; and a page on getting tested for HIV, which the lawsuit called an important communication tool for physicians.The liberal-leaning group also said in its lawsuit that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has removed pages recommending the inclusion of more women and underrepresented groups in clinical trials.The removal of this information deprives researchers of access to information that is necessary for treating patients, for developing clinical studies that produce results that accurately reflect the effects treatments will have in clinical practice, and for developing practices and policies that protect the health of vulnerable populations and the country as a whole, the lawsuit said.Trump, a Republican, signed an executive order on his first day back in office that the United States will recognize two sexes, male and female. On Jan. 29, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued a memorandum instructing agencies to take down any public-facing materials that promote what they deem to be gender ideology.Tuesdays lawsuit names the CDC, FDA, and their parent agency the Department of Health and Human Services as defendants. It asks the court to rule that OPMs memorandum exceeded the agencys authority and to order the websites to be put back online.HHS and the CDC declined to comment. The FDA and OPM did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Doctors for America was cofounded in 2008 by Vivek Murthy, who served as U.S. Surgeon General under Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden; Mandy Cohen, who served as CDC director under Biden; and Alice Chen, now a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles medical school.Brendan Pierson, Reuters

  • Super Bowl ad prices are breaking records, but ticket sales are plummeting: Why fans arent turning out for the Chiefs vs. Eagles matchup
    www.fastcompany.com
    In the run-up to this weekends Super Bowl in New Orleans, fans couldnt be more excited to see the Philadelphia Eagles face off against the Kansas City Chiefs, as the latter attempts to make Super Bowl history as the first team to win the championship three times in a row. With advertising prices hitting all-time highs, and an exciting halftime show featuring recent Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar scheduled, why are ticket sales plummeting?Thats right: Ticket prices for Super Bowl LIX are down 30% over this past week, or around 50% cheaperthan last year. Currently, the cheapest seats are selling for somewhere between $3,057 to $4,300 before taxes on the secondary market, compared to a year ago, when they were selling for $9,365 on the secondary market.Here are the current ticket prices as of Monday night, according to USA Today:StubHub: $3,057 ($4,130 with fees)TickPick: $4,300 all-inSeatGeek: $3,414 ($4,620 with fees)Gametime: $3,374 ($4,527 with fees)Ticketmaster: $3,330 ($4,001 with fees)TicketSmarter: $3,613 ($4,697 with fees)Vivid Seats: $3,228 ($4,454 with fees)There are a few possible reasons for the low ticket sales. For one, New Orleans may not have the same pull for fans who wanted to party in Las Vegas last year when the Chiefs faced the San Francisco 49ers.Another reason is that New Orleanss Caesars Superdome stadium has a lot more seats (74,000) than Las Vegass Allegiant Stadium (65,000), making last years seats harder to come by, and a result, more pricey (call it simple supply and demand).Finally, New Orleans is still reeling from last months terrorist attack thatkilled 14 people and injured at least 35, when a man plowed his pickup truck into a crowd and opened fire. In response, local officials have created an enhanced security zone along Bourbon Street, and areshutting down and limiting traffic on roads near the stadium and cordoning off the area surrounding the Superdome. And according to NFL chief security officer Cathy Lanier, thousands of state, federal, and local law enforcement officers will be on the ground during the Super Bowl, the Associated Press reported.

  • iPhone SE 4, AirTags 2, M4 Mac Studio: All the Products that could launch at Apples March Event
    www.yankodesign.com
    Rumors are circling that Apples first event of the year will be quite an exciting one, with March 11, 2025, reportedly set as the big day. While Apples spring keynotes dont carry the same weight as its fall iPhone launches, they often introduce pivotal updates across multiple product categories. If the rumors hold true, we could see new iPads, a refreshed MacBook Air, and even some surprises that push Apples ecosystem further into the future.Based on the debut of the M4 chip that Apple surprised us with last year and on Apples 2024 release calendar, heres a list of products we think will make their appearance at this March event. Along with M4 refreshes, its rumored that Apple will reveal some more products that are in dire need of reprisal the iPhone SE for starters, and maybe something in the AirTag department (given that the product has seen absolutely no change since its debt in 2021). Heres a primer on what to expect on the 11th of March, just days after the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.iPhone SE 4: A Budget-Friendly PowerhouseThe iPhone SE line has always been Apples way of delivering premium features at a more accessible price point, and the fourth iteration is no exception. Rumors suggest the iPhone SE 4 will finally ditch the Home button, adopting the edge-to-edge display design seen in the flagship models. This means Face ID, a larger screen, and a modernized look that brings it in line with the rest of the iPhone family.Under the hood, expect the A17 Bionic chip (or possibly even the A18) to power the device, ensuring it can handle everything from gaming to multitasking with ease. The camera system is also rumored to get a significant upgrade, with improved low-light performance and computational photography features borrowed from the iPhone 15 lineup. For budget-conscious consumers who still want a taste of Apples best, the iPhone SE 4 could be the ultimate win.Apple Watch X: A Decade of InnovationThe Apple Watch X is rumored to be a milestone release, celebrating ten years of the iconic wearable. Leaks suggest a complete redesign, with a thinner case, a new magnetic band attachment system, and a microLED display that offers brighter colors and better energy efficiency. Not to be confused with the Series 10, this watch will be more of a special-edition commemorative gadget, and Apple is reportedly focusing on health features that could set a new standard for wearables.One of the most exciting rumors is the addition of blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection, two features that could make the Apple Watch X an indispensable tool for health-conscious users. Combined with the usual suite of fitness tracking and heart rate monitoring, this watch could solidify Apples dominance in the wearable market. If the rumors hold true, the Apple Watch X might just be the most advanced smartwatch ever made.Mac Studio with M4 Ultra Chip: Unleashing Creative PotentialLast years biggest loser wasnt Drake losing his feud to Kendrick Lamar, it was the M3 losing its spotlight to the M4. Apple surprised us by completely sidestepping the chip to reveal the M4, which means the Mac Studio never got a chance to see an upgrade. Were suspecting that the new Mac Studio will get a spec bump from the M2 Ultra to the M4 Ultra. This next-generation chip is expected to significantly enhance CPU and GPU speeds, making the device ideal for resource-intensive tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and complex simulations. The M4 Ultra is rumored to double the graphical performance of its predecessor, competing with some of the most powerful GPUs available today.The new Mac Studio will likely feature Thunderbolt 5 ports, allowing for faster data transfers and seamless multi-display setups. Apple is also expected to improve cooling efficiency, ensuring that the Mac Studio remains quiet even under heavy workloads. With enhanced connectivity, superior processing power, and an optimized cooling system, this updated Mac Studio could become the go-to choice for creative professionals.iPad Air with M3 Chip: Smoother, Faster, and Still FeatherlightThe rumored iPad Air with Apples M3 chip is shaping up to be a powerhouse in a lightweight frame. With the M3s improved efficiency and processing power, this iteration could deliver faster multitasking, better gaming performance, and enhanced AI-driven features. A potential 90Hz display upgrade would smooth out animations and scrolling, making the experience feel more fluid. If Apple expands storage options and refines battery efficiency, this model could be a sweet spot between affordability and performance.Design-wise, Apple is likely to retain the slim, minimalist form factor while introducing fresh color options. The rumored display enhancements may improve brightness and contrast, making it more appealing for creatives and media consumers. While it might not adopt the high-end ProMotion or OLED panels of the iPad Pro, its balance of power, price, and portability could make it the go-to device for students, professionals, and everyday users who need more than a base iPad without the premium Pro price tag.iPad (11th Gen): Budget Gets BetterThe 11th-generation iPad is expected to maintain its familiar design, but the real changes lie under the hood. Apple is reportedly upgrading the entry-level tablet with the A17 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM, making it more powerful than ever. This hardware boost will allow the iPad to support Apple Intelligence, Apples new suite of AI-powered features. Whether its smarter Siri interactions or enhanced image creation tools, the iPad 11 is shaping up to be the most capable budget iPad yet.Despite the performance improvements, Apple is unlikely to raise the price significantly, keeping the iPad 11 as an affordable entry point into its ecosystem. The device is also expected to work with an updated Magic Keyboard, bridging the gap between tablet and laptop-like productivity. With AI-driven enhancements, better multitasking capabilities, and a performance bump, the 11th-gen iPad could redefine what users expect from Apples most affordable tablet.AirPods Pro 3: A New Era for Wireless AudioThe AirPods Pro 3 are shaping up to be Apples biggest leap in wireless audio yet, with a rumored redesign and major performance upgrades. A refreshed charging case could adopt the hidden capacitive button seen in AirPods 4, making pairing more seamless than ever. The earbuds themselves might get a sleeker fit while integrating a next-gen audio chip for richer sound and significantly improved Active Noise Cancellation. With deeper iOS 18 integration, features like Personalized Spatial Audio could make these Apples most immersive earbuds to date.Health tracking appears to be a key focus, with reports suggesting the addition of heart rate monitoring and even in-ear temperature sensing. These sensors could offer real-time wellness insights, further connecting AirPods to Apples expanding health ecosystem. Siris head gesture controls and improved voice isolation should also see refinements, making everyday interactions smoother. If these rumors hold, AirPods Pro 3 could redefine what we expect from premium wireless earbuds.AirTags 2: Putting the Ultra in Ultra WidebandThe AirTag 2 is expected to refine Apples item-tracking experience with a next-generation Ultra Wideband chip, significantly increasing its range. Reports suggest the new model could offer up to three times the tracking distance of its predecessor, making it even easier to locate lost items. Apple may also introduce improved integration with the Vision Pro, allowing users to pinpoint their AirTags in a more immersive, augmented reality experience, though exact details on this feature remain unclear.Security enhancements seem to be a priority, with Apple reportedly making the AirTags built-in speaker harder to remove to deter misuse. However, no major design changes or a rechargeable battery are expected, meaning the familiar coin-cell replacement method will likely remain. If pricing stays close to the original $29 tag, AirTag 2 could be another must-have accessory for those who rely on Apples Find My ecosystem.The post iPhone SE 4, AirTags 2, M4 Mac Studio: All the Products that could launch at Apples March Event first appeared on Yanko Design.

  • Chinas All-Electric Double Articulated 26m Bus is New Ride on Mexican Roads
    www.yankodesign.com
    Governments around the globe are tirelessly planning and implementing ways to inculcate greener public transport options. Electric cars and buses are being subsidized to ensure that a bigger transition happens in favor of the environment. A Latin American country leading the way in this transition of public transit is Mexico, which is overhauling the existing gas-guzzling system with heavy investments in electric buses.The latest addition to the ever-increasing fleet of electric buses on Mexican roads is the worlds first 26-meter all-electric bus from Chinese manufacturer, Yutong. The feat-making bus is double articulated: It has multiple passenger compartments aligned in line one ahead of the other jointed by pivoting joints. Its more like the road train trucks of Australia that are made up of combined semi-trailers for hauling cargo.Designer: Yutong YutongDesigned and developed by Zhengzhou-based company, the 26-meter high-capacity bus, is completely electric and made primarily to satiate the increasing demand for low-energy public transport. According to reports in the media, Mexico already has a fleet of 744 electric buses most of it is from Yutong making it the fourth-largest fleet of electric buses in Latin America.This 26-meter bus for the Mexican roads is equipped with modern batteries and motor technology. It is designed and commissioned in accordance with Mexican laws and regulations, and air conditioning norms to provide optimal conditions in the local climate. The bus was launched in the last week of January and comprises driver assists for better control and confidence on the road. Much is required considering the mammoth length of the public transporter.This humongous bus is conceived with the idea of meeting the escalating demand for low-energy, high-capacity public transport that caters to the norms and riding experience of passengers in the Mexican locale. According to available information, these buses will contribute to the modernization of the crowded city transport in Mexico and also in Latin America in the near future.This expansion is a vision of Yutong, which may be based out of China, but has a global footing. Already a large producer of electric buses in China; Yutong is now expanding its development of electric buses outside of mainland China: Latin America and Europe being the major target regions that the company wants to tap. In Europe, the company has made initial inroads in France, and Norway.The post Chinas All-Electric Double Articulated 26m Bus is New Ride on Mexican Roads first appeared on Yanko Design.
