• The White House hosted some prominent entertainers on Thursday to celebrate President Donald Trump signing the Music Modernization Act, which ensures the rights of songwriters in the digital era.
• Kid Rock, The Beach Boys cofounder Mike Love, country singers John Rich and Craig Morgan, and Christian rock band MercyMe were among the musicians in attendance.
• Later on, rapper Kanye West and retired NFL player Jim Brown joined Trump for a working lunch to discuss a handful of issues.

The White House welcomed a star-studded group of guests on Thursday to attend President Donald Trump's signing of the Music Modernization Act, and Trump's working lunch. The president also had a sit-down in the Oval Office with rapper Kanye West and former NFL player Jim Brown.

The Music Modernization Act, named for retiring Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia and retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, who is also a songwriter, secured widespread bipartisan support.

The Act updates current music licensing law to enable songwriters to be adequately compensated from revenues originating from online music streaming, allow producers to earn royalties from songs played over online and satellite radio, and ensure royalty payments for the writers and performers of songs written before 1972.

Musicians including Kid Rock, The Beach Boys cofounder Mike Love, and Christian rock group MercyMe attended the bill signing. NFL legend Jim Brown and Kanye West later joined Trump in the Oval Office for a working lunch and a televised meeting with reporters. West previously met with Trump shortly after his election in 2016

Here are all the celebrities who appeared at the White House on Thursday:

Kid Rock

Robert James Ritchie, better known as the musician Kid Rock, attended the signing for the Music Modernization Act at the White House in his signature rockstar garb and sunglasses. 

“This business of music is a pretty dirty business ... but this is a great start to protect songwriters, producers, engineers — the unsung heroes behind many of these songs that go out there,” he said of the Act.

Kid Rock himself is one of Trump's most prominent supporters in the entertainment community, and even floated a run for Senate in Michigan, although he later revealed it was a promotional tactic for his most recent album. 

Sam Moore

Trump welcomed Sam Moore, a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer best known as one-half of the soul and R&B duo Sam & Dave, to the White House and wished him a happy 83rd birthday, which he celebrates October 12.

"He looks good,"Trump joked. "83! That means there's a future for us."

Trump gifted Moore a pen used to sign the Act. Moore praised Trump for helping get the act signed into law. 

"When Mr. Bush was in we couldn't get it done. When we had Mr. Obama in, we couldn't get it done. But we got it done with this man,"Moore said 

Mike Love

Mike Love, the Grammy Award-winning cofounder of The Beach Boys who also holds a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, also appeared alongside Trump for the bill signing. 

"People can say what they want, but you've always been a big supporter of some of the best music America's ever made,"Love said of Trump.

• White House chief of staff John Kelly reportedly wrote a scathing email about a heated phone call he had with Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, according to files obtained by BuzzFeed News.
• Kelly was serving as Homeland Security secretary at the time, amid the fallout from President Donald Trump's travel ban, which blocked refugees and travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries, and caused some people to be detained at Logan Airport in Boston.
• Warren demanded information from Kelly about her constituents.
• Kelly reportedly did not respond to Warren for a week, and later denied Warren had tried to make to contact with him.
• "Absolutely most insulting conversation I have ever had with anyone," Kelly said in an email to a Homeland Security staffer, according to BuzzFeed News. "What an impolite arrogant woman."

Former Homeland Security secretary John Kelly reportedly wrote a scathing email about a heated phone call he had with Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who he described as "an impolite arrogant woman."

In the February 2017 email, Kelly addressed his phone call from Warren, who reached out for information regarding some of her constituents, a congressional source familiar with the situation said to BuzzFeed News. Several people, some who had visas, were detained at Logan Airport in Boston following President Donald Trump's executive order that blocked refugees and travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries.

"Absolutely most insulting conversation I have ever had with anyone," Kelly said in an email to then-senior counselor to Homeland Security Kevin Carroll. "What an impolite arrogant woman."

Warren, who took part in a demonstration at the airport against Trump's travel ban, personally reached out to Kelly and demanded answers about the situation. Kelly reportedly did not respond to Warren for a week, and later denied Warren had tried to make to contact with him.

"She immediately began insulting our people accusing them of not following the court order, insulting and abusive behavior towards those covered by the pause, blah, blah, blah," Kelly added, referring to a temporary restraining order that blocked Trump's travel ban, according to BuzzFeed News.

Carroll replied to Kelly by suggesting Warren was showboating for a potential presidential run.

"Warren is running for president so early, trying too hard, and chasing bad pitches," Carroll reportedly said.

In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump had the authority to ban travelers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, and Venezuela, in the interest of national security.

Kelly was selected to replace Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff in July 2018.

• Andrew Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, Florida, and the Democratic candidate for governor in the state was busy cleaning up debris left from Hurricane Michael on Thursday. Video showed Gillum and a member of his campaign going at some downed trees with a chainsaw.
• Gillum is in a tight gubernatorial race with his Republican opponent Ron DeSantis. If Gillum wins in November, he would be Florida's first black governor and the first Democrat to hold the office in the state in almost 20 years.
• Hurricane Michael made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm on Wednesday. At least six people have died as the storm tore through the state.

Andrew Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, Florida, and the Democratic candidate for governor in the state was busy cleaning up debris left from Hurricane Michael on Thursday. Video showed Gillum and a member of his campaign going at some downed vegetation with a chainsaw.

Gillum is in a tight gubernatorial race with his Republican opponent Ron DeSantis. If Gillum wins in November, he would be Florida's first black governor and the first Democrat to hold the office in the state in almost 20 years.

Hurricane Michael hit Florida as a Category 4 storm on Wednesday, causing damage and destruction throughout the state and several towns along the Gulf of Mexico. The storm is being blamed for at least six fatalities in Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia.

Before the storm reached Florida, Gillum made several TV appearances urging residents to take the storm seriously and to get to higher ground.

DeSantis has turned political rallies Tuesday in Tampa Bay and Wednesday in Jacksonville into platforms to collect donations for storm victims.

DeSantis echoed his opponent, urging the 500,000 people ordered to evacuate to listen their local officials and seek safe shelter.

Still, nearly 320,000 people in the path of the storm chose to stay and ride it out. Search-and-rescue operations are underway to find missing residents.

DeSantis has spent the week criticizing Gillum, who was the mayor of Tallahassee when Hurricane Hermine hit in 2016, because it took the city three days to restore electrical power for 90% of its residents.

The DeSantis campaign has aired two commercials questioning Gillum's leadership ability, citing his response to Hurricane Hermine, but said it would pull those ads Wednesday when Hurricane Michael made landfall.

Gillum called the commercials a "low-blow" political attack.

• CNN host Don Lemon had some sharp words for Kanye West after the rapper's visit to the White House on Thursday.
• The 41-year-old artist and designer visited the Oval Office to discuss job opportunities for former convicts, but that was largely overshadowed by a 10-minute monologue he gave on a range of other issues.
• Lemon held his head in dismay after watching a clip of Kanye's remarks on CNN.
• "I have no animosity for Kanye West. I'm just going to be honest and I may get in a lot of trouble for it," Lemon said. "I actually feel bad for him. What I saw was a minstrel show today."
• Lemon mentioned that Kanye's mother, Donda West, would be "embarrassed" by his recent actions.

CNN host Don Lemon slammed Kanye West after the artist's visit to the White House on Thursday, calling it a "minstrel show" and an "embarrassment."

The 41-year-old rapper visited the Oval Office to discuss job opportunities for former convicts, a goal that was largely overshadowed by a 10-minute monologue he gave on a range of other issues in front of President Donald Trump.

Kanye also referred to himself as a "mother f---er" and reiterated his full endorsement of Trump as a throng of TV news cameras and journalists watched.

"Let's stop worrying about the future. All we really have is today," Kanye said while wearing a hat emblazoned with the Trump campaign's slogan "Make America Great Again."

"Trump is on his hero's journey right now, and he might not have expected to have a crazy motherf---er like Kanye West."

Lemon held his head in dismay after watching a clip of Kanye's remarks on CNN.

"I have no animosity for Kanye West. I'm just going to be honest and I may get in a lot of trouble for it," Lemon said. "I actually feel bad for him. What I saw was a minstrel show today."

Lemon, who is black, said Kanye was "embarrassing himself," adding that he was not only "embarrassing Americans, but mostly African-Americans."

"I couldn't even watch it," Lemon said. "I had to turn the television off because it was so hard to watch."

The CNN host echoed what other media personalities said on Thursday and suggested Kanye was in need of professional help. Kanye, who voluntarily admitted himself to a hospital for exhaustion and sleep deprivation in 2016, faced widespread criticism after his release for making erratic, politically charged statements.

"Him, sitting there being used by the president of the United States," Lemon said, "The president of the United States exploiting him, and, I don't mean this in a disparaging way, exploiting someone who needs help."

Lemon implored Kanye to "back away from the cameras" and lay low so he can "deal with his issues."

He continued: "If anyone around him cares about him ... they need to grab him and snatch him up, and get Kanye together because Kanye needs help."

Lemon, who said he does not belong to a political party, rejected the notion that his views on Kanye were politically motivated.

"This has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative," Lemon said. "This has to do with honesty. And we have to stop pretending ... like this is normal."

The CNN host said he believes Kanye's mother, Donda West, would be "embarrassed" by her son's recent behavior. Donda died in 2007 from coronary artery disease and complications after surgery. Kanye's mother has been one of the most influential figures in his life.

Lemon recounted his text messages with one of Donda's friends from Chicago: "Donda would be embarrassed by this. She would be terribly disturbed by this. And Kanye has not been the same since his mother died."

"Kanye, back away from the cameras, go get some help, and then come back and make your case," Lemon said. "If you want to be conservative, if you want to support Donald Trump, that is your business. But as you're doing it, have some sense with it. Make sense. Educate yourself."

Following Kanye's visit, other media personalities weighed in on the freewheeling press conference at the White House.

"If you think you're going to get a thoughtful play-by-play and political analysis, you're not, because that was an assault on our White House," MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle said.

"I'm just stunned across the board," Ruhle added.

• The window for biotech companies to raise money and go public has seemed unending over the past few years.
• Particularly in the past year, private companies have raised staggeringly big early funding rounds before turning around to tap the public markets for even more cash.
• But the bets haven't always panned out for investors. Of the biotech companies that have gone public in the past six years, fewer than half have generated a positive return, according to a new report.

For fledgling biotechs hoping to find the money to fund their plans to tackle everything from cancer to Alzheimer's disease, the public markets have been a good avenue over the past few years.

In the first nine months of 2018 alone, there have been 47 biotech initial public offerings, raising $4.6 billion in capital. That's already more than in all of both 2016 and 2015. In the biggest biotech IPO of the year, the cancer drugmaker Allogene this week brought in $324 million in a public offering that valued the company at $2.2 billion.

But not every biotech investment has been a roaring success.

According to a Leerink review over the past six years, there have been 269 biotech IPOs that raised a combined $24.1 billion. But fewer than half of those IPOs have generated a positive return.

About 20% of the companies made up about 80% of those positive returns. And nearly half of the IPOs had an annual loss of 10% or more.

"The vast majority of the money invested in biotech is not going to generate any return," Geoff Porges, a Leerink analyst, said. "Everybody's going to have a lot of losers in their biotech portfolios. The winners have to carry the freight for the losers."

Which is to say, not every bet is panning out, despite record amounts of capital being poured into the sector. Investing in drug development is an inherently risky prospect. Biotech companies are developing experimental treatments for diseases, running clinical trials to see whether a given drug works. When one doesn't, the stock could crater and lose most if not all of its value, depending on what else the company has in the works.

"You really have to be selective," Les Funtleyder, a healthcare portfolio manager at E Squared Capital, told Business Insider. "I think that's the importance of doing due diligence and spending a lot of time on these things and hoping you get a positive return out of it."

While the biotech sector enjoyed an 18.5% surge in 2017, its performance has come back to earth since then. The Nasdaq Biotech Index is up 1.5% this year, compared with a 3.2% rise from the S&P 500.

• Employees and Wall Street alike were surprised to learn that Square Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar will leave the company.
• Friar, who employees described as a "beloved" leader, is seen widely as an important figure in Square's success.
• Analysts expressed concern following the news that Square may struggle to rebound from the loss — but staffers are happy to see Friar move onto a CEO role. 

The news this week that Square CFO Sarah Friar is resigning surprised employees and outside investors alike, leaving both groups trying to predict what it means for the $28 billion payments company to lose its second-in-command.

Like spurned lovers bewildered by a breakup, both Square staffers and analysts echoed similar sentiments: By all appearances, things were going well. Friar was active and engaged. There were no signs that this was coming.

"We traveled with Ms. Friar just two weeks ago and saw no signs of this move as she was fully engaged and enthusiastic throughout our day of meetings," wrote Robert Napoli, analyst at William Blair, in a note Wednesday.

One staffer described the sense of unease that spread through Square's Market Street headquarters once CEO Jack Dorsey's memo hit people's inboxes on Wednesday afternoon, breaking the news to staff that Friar will leave in December to join Nextdoor as CEO. 

"My first reaction was to text all of my closest coworkers," said another staffer. "She's beloved. I was surprised at first and then I felt very proud of the way Jack responded to it." 

Friar and Dorsey balanced each other out

To many employees at Square, staffers said, Friar is a highly-regarded and motivating executive, who's kept the ship steady while Dorsey focused on vision. Though CFO since 2012, she had taken on a more diverse role in recent months, according one staffer, and was heavily involved across other aspects of the business.

As soon as Dorsey shared the news with the staff, Friar sent her own email thanking her team and explaining why she decided to join Nextdoor, employees said. 

"It was super positive. It's bitter sweet. But everyone is very happy for her," one person said. 

Employees described her lovingly as type-A and the opposite of Dorsey in her managerial approach — him the creative, and her the more realistic executor.

They balanced each other out, one employee said, adding that there's a joke at the company that Dorsey — who's known for his rigid diet and exercise routine— is always trying to get Friar to start meditating.

While employees appreciated this dynamic, Wall Street shared some concerns that it might be a problem for Dorsey down the road.

"Ms. Friar’s level of leadership has been an important aspect affording Mr. Dorsey ample leeway to perform as a dual CEO, in our view," wrote Citi analyst Peter Christiansen, in reference to Dorsey's other gig as CEO of Twitter. "Whether it’s true or not, there is clearly a perception by many outside of the company, investors and press alike, that Ms. Friar essentially ran the company."

Wall Street is torn on what this means for the stock 

Friar's announcement — which came during Wednesday's market-wide selloff — brought the stock down more than 30% from its all-time high on October 1 of $101.15.

While utter surprise was a common theme in Wall Street's response to the news, analysts had mixed views about what this means for Square in the longrun.

Mark Palmer at BTIG, a longtime skeptic, maintained his "sell" rating on the stock and reiterated a price target of $30, even though the stock traded around $70 after the initial selloff on Thursday. 

"We believe Friar’s pending departure from SQ introduces a significant new element of uncertainty into the company’s story that may further weigh on its valuation," Palmer wrote.

But other analysts kept the stock rated at "buy" or "hold," with many noting that Dorsey's stated reason for Friar's departure — to pursue her dream of being a CEO — was not cause for alarm.

Still, analysts noted, her departure is difficult for the investor community, as she was the main point of contact at Square for many people on Wall Street.

"Ms. Friar has been pivotal in managing Street expectations,and helped the company deliver consistent 'beat and raises,' in our view," wrote Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette. 

"We don’t believe there’s much to read into Ms. Friar’s departure as she’s leaving to take on a CEO role and will assist with the transition," wrote Steven Kwok, analyst with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. "However, it’s a tough loss for the company given that she was well respected by the Street and investors, which is likely leading to the shares being down after-hours."

NOW WATCH: 3 compelling reasons why we haven't found aliens yet

Disney released its first teaser trailer for the much-anticipated live-action adaptation of "Aladdin." The teaser shows us our first look at the Cave of Wonders and the penniless teen who gets transformed into a prince. 

INSIDER rounded up a few details fans may have missed while watching the trailer the first time around, including a first look at the movie's villain. "Aladdin," directed by Guy Ritchie, will be in theaters Friday, May 24, 2019.

The trailer opens up with a new version of "Arabian Nights," which is the song that kicks off the animated movie.

Original composer Alan Menken has returned to do new versions of the movie's original songs. The teaser opens up with a preview of "Arabian Nights." You can tell it's the song by the time the words "from Disney" appear on screen.

In the animated movie, the song is performed by a character named The Peddler. Though Bruce Adler performed the song, Robin Williams voiced the character. Williams also is known for voicing the Genie in the original movie.

A lot of people were wondering whether or not Jafar's trusty parrot Iago would be in the movie, but we got our first glimpse of him a few times.

We still don't know if Aladdin's little monkey friend, Abu, will be in the movie, but we're glad to have Iago. 

Disney's official synopsis and cast did not list anyone voicing Iago, but we'd love to see Gilbert Gottfried back. That is, if Iago even speaks in the new movie.

Jafar is in the trailer, too.

When the teaser shows a quick glimpse of the Cave of Wonders, which Aladdin heads into, you can see a man to the far left holding a staff. You can bet that's the Sultan's key advisor, Jafar, from his stance and the unmistakable feather from his turban.

Several individuals and entities have begun distancing themselves from Saudi Arabia following the disappearance of journalist and prominent Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi.

Khashoggi was last seen on October 2, when he entered into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to secure official documents for his upcoming wedding to his Turkish fiance Hatice Cengiz.

The 59-year-old, who formerly served as an adviser to senior officials in the Saudi government and who had been living in self-imposed exile in the US, has not been seen since.

Some have speculated that he could have been kidnapped or killed inside the consulate, reportedly at the order of the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman using a team of hit men flown in specially to undertake the task.

Official response to Khashoggi's disappearance have been mixed.

Saudi officials claim that The Washington Post contributor left the consulate, but haven't provided any definitive proof. Turkish officials previously alleged that Khashoggi was killed and claim there's no evidence he ever left the consulate, while Canada, the UN, and President Trump have expressed "concern" over the journalist's whereabouts.

In a story published Thursday, The Washington Post said the Turkish government told US officials it has audio and video showing that Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate.

Global business leaders, policymakers, media moguls and tech executives have also taken notice and are beginning to move away from dealings with Saudi Arabia and its crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.

Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Group

Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Group are severing ties with Saudi Arabia because of the Khashoggi case. 

In a blog post on Virgin Group’s website, Branson announced that Virgin Galatic and Virgin Orbit will suspend its discussions with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.

“What has reportedly happened in Turkey around the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, if proved true, would clearly change the ability of any of us in the West to do business with the Saudi Government,” Branson wrote. “We have asked for more information from the authorities in Saudi and to clarify their position in relation to Mr. Khashoggi.”

US lawmakers

Nearly two dozen senators, led by the Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker of Tennessee and the Democratic ranking member Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, have sent a letter to US President Donald Trump, recommending an investigation and possible sanctions against those found to be involved in Khashoggi's disappearance.  

Republican and Democratic lawmakers are also pushing to block Saudi arms sales.

Former US secretary of energy Ernest Moniz

Former US energy secretary Ernest Moniz suspended his membership on an advisory board for a $500 billion Saudi megacity project called Neom.

"Given current events, I am suspending my participation on the Neom board. Going forward, my engagement with the advisory board will depend on learning all the facts about Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance over the coming days and weeks," Moniz said in a statement provided to Business Insider.

• US officials say the Turkish government claimed to possess audio and video recordings that indicate Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed during his visit to the Saudi Consulate in Turkey.
• Evidence also suggests that Khashoggi, a Saudi national who went into the consulate for official paperwork related to his upcoming wedding, was dismembered after his death, the officials reportedly said.
• It was unclear if US officials had seen or heard the alleged recordings, but Turkish officials reportedly described its contents to them.
• Khashoggi, who lived in Virginia under self-imposed exile, was an outspoken critic of Saudi Arabia and its leader, the crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.
• The purported recordings may put the US in a precarious position by straining its ties to a country that spends billions in arms sales.

US officials say the Turkish government claimed to possess audio and video recordings that suggest Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed during his visit to the Saudi consulate in Turkey on October 2, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday.

Officials said the recordings show that a team of Saudis "interrogated, tortured and then murdered" Khashoggi, according to an anonymous source. Evidence also suggests that Khashoggi, a Saudi national who went into the Consulate for official paperwork related to his upcoming wedding, was dismembered after his death, the officials reportedly said.

The recordings "from inside the embassy lays out what happened to Jamal after he entered" the consulate, a source said, adding that "you can hear his voice and the voices of men speaking Arabic."

Men beating Khashoggi could also be heard from the recording, a source familiar with the intelligence told The Post.

It was unclear if US officials were privy to the potential recordings, but Turkish officials reportedly described its contents to them, The Post reported. Turkish officials, who immediately suggested Khashoggi's disappearance was orchestrated by the Saudis, were hesitant to release the recordings, citing security concerns.

The existence of such evidence may be the clearest indication yet of foul play. From the onset of his disappearance, Turkish officials claimed Khashoggi entered, but never left the consulate. A team of 15 Saudis that reportedly flew in from Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, to visit and leave the consulate on the same day of his disappearance are suspected of playing a role, people familiar with the investigation said in a previous report from The Post.

US intelligence officials reportedly intercepted communications that the Saudis discussed a plan to lure and capture Khashoggi before his disappearance, a person familiar with the situation said in the report. It was unclear whether the US warned him that he was being targeted, according to the source.

But one US official cited in The Post's recent report disputed the claim and said there was no evidence that the Saudis intended to lure Khashoggi to the consulate.

Khashoggi, who lived in Virginia under self-imposed exile, was an outspoken critic of Saudi Arabia and its leader, the crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. Khashoggi frequently wrote scathing columns about the leader that contradicted his image as a moderate reformer.

The purported recordings may put the US in a precarious position, likely straining its ties to a country that spends billions on arms equipment. On Wednesday, a bipartisan group of senators on the Foreign Relations Committee urged Trump to determine and hold responsible those who were responsible for Khashoggi's disappearance.

"We request that you make a determination on the imposition of sanctions pursuant to the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act with respect to any foreign person responsible for such a violation related to Mr. Khashoggi," Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Robert Menendez of New Jersey said in a statement.

On Thursday, Trump said the US was looking at the situation "very strongly."

"We'll be having a report out soon," Trump said. "We're working with Turkey, we're working with Saudi Arabia. What happened is a terrible thing, assuming that happened. I mean, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised, but somehow I tend to doubt it."

NOW WATCH: Inside the Trump 'MAGA' hat factory

• Although two-factor authentication likely wouldn't have stopped your data from being stolen in the Facebook hack, the event is a reminder that your passwords can be easily accessible. 
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a more secure method of logging in to accounts, email, and operating systems. It often comes in the form of a text message with a code, but it's even safer to use a physical security key that you plug into your computer. 
• Companies like Yubico make relatively inexpensive security keys that can prevent your accounts from being accessed by bad actors. 

The recent Facebook hack in which the private information of millions of users was stolen is an unfortunate reminder that our passwords aren't always as safe as we think they are.

This is where two-factor authentication (2FA) comes in. While 2FA likely wouldn't have stopped your data from being stolen from Facebook, it can prevent unwanted people from logging into your accounts, even if they have your password. 

You're probably familiar with 2FA in the form of a text message – like when you log in to an account from a new browser or computer, and you're prompted to enter a code that's sent to you via text message. While this method is definitely more secure than simply using a password, it's not the most secure method of 2FA — especially if someone has access to your phone. 

If you really want to protect yourself, you need to do what's called "physical" two-factor authentication.

Using a physical security key is one of the safest ways to protect your accounts — and it's not that expensive or complicated. Instead of typing in a passcode from a text message for 2FA, a physical security key needs to be plugged into your device when prompted, which allows you to log in. One of the more well-known security key companies, Yubico, sells security keys for as cheap as $20. You can purchase security keys for both computers and mobile phones, meaning your accounts are safe no matter where you generally access them. 

Here's how a 2FA security key works, and which services support them: 

Setting up a security key is pretty simple, and only takes a few minutes. For the purposes of this article, a Yubico Yubikey will be the point of reference. 

You don't have to do anything to the actual key to set it up — just take it out of the packaging and it's ready to go. Next, you'll need to choose a service to secure with your key. Social media and email services tend to support physical two-factor authentication, and so do operating systems like Mac OS and Windows. You can also use a security key with password managers that keep track of and fill out your passwords for you. 

Here's a list of some services that support physical two-factor authentication, from Yubico:

• Google (and Gmail)
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Amazon Web Services
• Windows
• Mac OS
• Dropbox
• GitHub
• Linux
• Okta

The above links provide instructions detailing how to set up a security key with each service. For Yubico's full list of websites and services that support physical 2FA, click here.

Once your key is set up, using it is pretty simple. It's important to keep your key with you, such as on a keychain, so you're always able to log in (although if you don't have your key handy, you can also enable additional log-in methods). 

When you attempt to log in to your account, the website or service will prompt ask for your security key. All you need to do is plug it in to the device, usually via USB port. On a Yubikey, you'll need to press a small button on the key once it's plugged in.

NOW WATCH: Apple took another subtle jab at Facebook during its iPhone XS event

• New York-based biotech Applied Therapeutics is exploring an initial public offering in the first half of 2019, according to people familiar with the matter.
• The company's developing a drug for a rare metabolic disorder, as well as treatments for diabetes complications. 

The red hot market for biotech IPOs may have another entrant. 

New York-based Applied Therapeutics, which is developing treatments for cardio-metabolic conditions, is exploring an IPO that could land in first half of next year, according to people familiar with the matter.

The people cautioned that timing could change depending on market conditions. 

Applied Therapeutics in 2017 raised a series A round led by Alexandria Venture Investments along with E Squared Capital Management, Franklin Berger, ETP Global Fund, and Syno Capital. In September, the company hired former Sanofi executive Dr. Riccardo Perfetti as chief medical officer. 

Its lead drug, AT-007, is being developed to treat  galactosemia, a rare condition diagnosed at birth that affects how the body breaks down galactose, a sugar produced in the body and found in lactose, the sugar present in milk. It's estimated to impact one of every 30,000 to 60,000 newborns. 

Beyond galactosemia, Applied is also working on two other compounds, including one for diabetic cardiomyopathy, a complication from diabetes that results in a thickening of the heart muscle, and diabetic retinopathy, another diabetes complication that affects the eye.

The hope is to use the drugs to inhibit an enzyme called aldose reductase, responsible for breaking down sugars into chemicals that aren't good for our bodies — in the case of galactosemia, that's a sugar alcohol known as galactitol and in diabetic patients breaking down glucose incorrectly, that ends up being a sugar alcohol known as sorbitol. 

Pharmaceutical companies developed a number of these aldose reductase inhibitors in the 1990s, but the drugs didn't pan out, often because of side effects. But now, using technology licensed in from Columbia University, the hope is to circumvent those side effects. 

2018 has been a big year for biotech IPOs. In the first nine months of 2018 alone, there have been 47 biotech initial public offerings, raising $4.6 billion in capital. That's already more than in all of both 2016 and 2015. Even amid the market slump, biotech had its biggest IPO of the year, the cancer drugmaker Allogene this week brought in $324 million in a public offering that valued the company at $2.2 billion.

NOW WATCH: 3 compelling reasons why we haven't found aliens yet

Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are more effective than conventionally-powered carriers for two basic reasons.

One, nuclear power provides more energy for catapults and sensors than fossil fuel; and two, the lack of fossil fuels onboard also frees up a lot of space for more missiles and bombs. 

But there are only two countries in the world with nuclear-powered aircraft carriers: the United States and France. 

France has one nuclear-powered carrier, the Charles de Gaulle. The US has a fleet of 11 nuclear-powered carriers, including two different classes, the Nimitz and Gerald R. Ford classes. 

But the Ford-class only has one commissioned carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, and it has yet to see combat, while the USS Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, and has seen plenty. 

The Charles de Gaulle, which was commissioned in 2001, has also seen combat for over a decade. 

So we've compared the tried-and-trusted Nimitz and Charles de Gaulle classes to see how they stack up.

And there's a clear winner — take a look. 

SEE ALSO: We toured the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, which can house 75 aircraft

The first big difference between the CDG and Nimitz-class carriers are the nuclear reactors.

Nimitz-class carriers have two A4W nuclear reactors, each of which provide 550 Megawatts of energy, whereas the CDG has two K15 reactors, each providing only 150 Megawatts. 

Not only are Nimitz-class carriers faster than the CDG (about 34-plus mph versus about 31 mph), but they also need to be refueled about once every 50 years, whereas the CDG needs to be refueled every seven years. 

Another big difference is size.

Nimitz-class carriers are about 1,092 feet long, while the CDG is about 858 feet long, which gives the Nimitz more room to stage and load airplanes for missions. Nimitz-class carriers also have about a 97,000 ton displacement, while the CDG has a 42,000 ton displacement.

This is why Nimitz-class carriers can carry more than 75 aircraft, such as F/A-18 Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, and more.

• Jollibee, a Filipino fast-food behemoth, is opening its first location in Manhattan on October 27. 
• The chain, known for its spaghetti and fried chicken, has an "aggressive" expansion plan for the US, an executive told Business Insider. 
• Jolibee's parent company recently acquired stakes in burger chain Smashburger and fast-casual Mexican chain Tortas Frontera as part of its aspirations to become one of the five biggest restaurant companies in the world. 

Filipino fast-food behemoth Jollibee is setting its sights on taking over the United States — and the world. 

On October 27, Jollibee will open its first location in Manhattan, the fast-food chain's 38th store in the US. New Yorkers have been anxiously awaiting Jollibee's arrival in Manhattan since 2016, when news broke that the chain planned to open in midtown Manhattan, near the Port Authority bus terminal. 

"Jollibee has always been a taste of home for many Filipinos," Maribeth Dela Cruz, Jollibee Food Corporation North America's vice president, told Business Insider.

"It's not just the products they used to enjoy when they were back home," Cruz continued, "It's really the experience of bringing them back to happy memories of being with their family and celebrating moments and milestones in their lives back in the Philippines." 

New York City is home to 61% of New York state's Filipino population, making Manhattan a prime spot to open a Jollibee location. At the same time, Cruz says, the Manhattan location will serve as an opportunity to showcase Jollibee as a brand, introducing the chain to New Yorkers and tourists alike.

About 85% of customers in the Jollibee location in Queens, New York are Filipino, according to Cruz. Other Jollibee locations, in states such including California, Nevada, and Texas, have a ratio of closer to 70% Filipino to 30% non-Filipino customers. 

Internationally, Jollibee is already a huge phenomenon, sometimes referred to as the "McDonald's of the Philippines," with 1,289 locations globally. Known for its fried chicken, spaghetti, and Filipino desserts, the chain has a menu unlike any American fast-food chain. 

Cruz declined to say exactly how many locations Jollibee planned to open in the US, though she said the company has an "aggressive" expansion strategy for the coming years. 

Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) has also been making some major investments outside of its namesake brand. JFC is determined to become one of the top five biggest restaurant companies in the world.

The company has more than 4,200 locations in 22 countries, including chains such as Greenwich Pizza, Chinese food brand Chowking, and serving as the franchisee for Burger King in the Philippines.

In February, JFC announced it planned to increase its stake in the American chain Smashburger, growing its share of the company to 85%. JFC announced in September that it was planning a $12.4 million investment in chef Rick Bayless' Tortas Frontera chain, taking a 47% stake in the brand.

The US and China are crucial to JFC's plan to become a top five restaurant company, according to Cruz. And, the company is continuing to eye other segments to help achieve the vision — which Cruz says JFC plans to achieve "as quickly as we can possibly do so."

NOW WATCH: Why Louboutin shoes are so expensive

As Halloween creeps closer, hoards of trick-or-treaters and partygoers are flocking to costume stores to create their Halloween looks. 

Everyone knows that these stores become madhouses in October, whether you're shopping at Party City, Spirit Halloween, or your local holiday pop-up shop. People fighting over the last "Avengers" costume or having to step over rejected masks are commonplace this time of year.

Here are some things you should avoid doing in a costume store during the Halloween season to avoid a shopping horror story.

Never go in without a plan or a vague idea of what you want to dress up as. 

At any good costume store, there will be thousands of options to choose from. From a sexy nurse to a taco, your options are limitless, so you need to have an action plan. Make sure you have an idea of what you want to be and know exactly what you need to create the look. Leisurely wandering around the aisle perusing every option will not be easy when there are hundreds of people pulling items off the walls.

With that said, be ready to ditch the plan if it's not coming together. 

The closer it is to Halloween, the fewer options may be available to you in the store. Therefore, never shop without backup ideas. Be ready to ditch your original costume idea and create something entirely new. You may be surprised by what you can come up with if you're flexible.

Try not to follow the latest trends. 

Almost everyone will be dressing up as a character from "Riverdale" or "Avengers" this year, but that doesn't mean you should too. In fact, you will have an easier time in the costume stores if you don't follow the trends. While people are fighting over the limited supply of Wakanda warrior costumes, you can be shopping for an original idea with no stress. 

When trying on costumes, keep the masks away from your face. 

This may seem counter-intuitive but think about all the people who are coming in and out of the store this Halloween season. If every person tries on a specific mask, imagine how many germs are being passed around. Instead, hold the mask up to your face, and it will give you the same illusion as wearing it. Once you decide to buy the mask, clean it before you wear it. 

Also, don't try on costumes without the intent of purchasing. 

The dressing rooms at these stores are constantly busy, so don't show up to the store with a group of friends to try on a slew of costumes just for fun. This is not your time for a wardrobe change montage, so do not hog the fitting room if you're not there to purchase anything. 

When trying something on, stop being disappointed the costume doesn't look as good as the picture. 

The pictures on the front of each costume bag are professionally taken and edited. Stop being surprised that your costume doesn't look exactly the same.  Also remember that these costumes have been folded and sometimes smushed in bags for a while, so they may be wrinkled. Try ironing the outfit at home to make it look better, and never be afraid to modify the costume once you've purchased it. 

If something still just doesn't look right, do not just throw it on the floor. 

Sometimes a costume store can look and feel like a battleground. With a large number of customers passing through, almost every Halloween store gets messy. Don't add to the mess by throwing items on the floor. Put everything back where you found it. It's the employee's job to stock costumes for you — not to pick up after you. 

But the employees are there for assistance, so never be scared to ask for help.

No one knows the store better than an employee. When the store gets busy, it will be even harder to navigate. Asking an employee to point you in the direction of whatever you're looking for is a sure-fire way to cut down your shopping and decrease unnecessary foot traffic. 

Before checking out, remind yourself that you don't have to buy the most expensive costume. 

Remember that you're only going to wear this costume for one night — really just a few hours. There's no need to spend over $200 on that. Instead, use the pricey look as an inspiration. Think about how you can find those elements for a lot less at a thrift store or online. 

Once you've committed to buying a costume, don't check out without looking to see if anything is missing. 

If you're getting a pre-assembled costume, make sure everything is in the bag and that no piece is missing. Some costumes are expensive, so you want to make sure you're getting your money's worth. Also, a lot of costumes come with gadgets, so make sure those are working and not broken.

At check-out, don't complain about the long line or how slow it's going.

It's Halloween, so the costume store will obviously be busy. If you complain about it, you're just going to make yourself more frustrated and the people around you more annoyed. Instead, take a deep breath and try to enjoy the horrors of this holiday season.

• Andrew Lincoln is leaving "The Walking Dead" during season nine.
• It's unknown how his character, Rick Grimes, will depart the zombie drama.
• INSIDER teamed up with app TV Time to ask fans how they believe Rick will leave the show.
• Fans are split over whether or not Rick will be killed off the show or have his story left open-ended.
• If Rick is killed, most believe Rick will give his life to save his community. Others believe he may be betrayed.

Andrew Lincoln confirmed in July that season nine of "The Walking Dead" will be his last as the show's leader, Rick Grimes, and fans are divided over how they think he'll leave.

While we have plenty of guesses on how Lincoln may depart the AMC zombie drama, the two most common theories are that Rick will either be killed off of the show or walk off into the sunset in an open-ended departure. 

INSIDER teamed up with TV Time, an app which tracks shows and allows fans to share reactions in real time, to find out how fans believe Rick will leave the show. Despite that bloody boot seen in the season's official trailer, not everyone believes Rick will die. In fact, fans are pretty split right down the middle.

TV Time surveyed 2,721 users in the United States who follow "The Walking Dead" in its app and have watched through season eight. Fans responded to two questions from October 4 through October 8, 2018. Let's get to it. 

How will Rick leave "The Walking Dead"?

According to TV Time, fans are split on whether or not Rick will be killed off "The Walking Dead." Of those surveyed, 49% believe Rick's story will be left open-ended instead of meeting a bloody demise while 47% think we'll see him killed. 

The 4% who said "Other" had more specific versions of how Rick will be killed off or leaving his story open ended. 

Those responses included Rick leaving on the mystery helicopter, dying of natural causes like cancer, and taking a bullet for another person. One of the funnier responses included Rick being "abducted by aliens."

If Rick is killed off "The Walking Dead," how will it happen?

Fans are more certain of this response. 70% believe that if the time comes Rick will martyr himself to save his loved ones. That doesn't seem like a stretch after seeing how Rick runs the community of Alexandria on the season nine premiere. 

It's nearly a three-way tie between those who believe Rick will be bitten by a walker like his son Carl, killed by Negan, or stabbed by one of the upcoming new villains, The Whisperers. (You can read more about them here.)

Many of those who responded "Other" believe Rick will be betrayed by Maggie or some of his other people. Six responses suggested Rick may receive Ezekiel's shocking comic death and winds up brutally murderered by the show's upcoming Whisperer villains. 

We have a few more episodes with Rick before we bid farewell to the character who woke up from a coma to a new world. Executive producer and series director Greg Nicotero told INSIDER he directed Lincoln's final episode. The only other episode Nicotero is directing during the season's first half is episode five.

NOW WATCH: What marijuana looks like under the microscope

An estimated 530 million people around the world had their eyes on NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong as he took one "giant leap for mankind" on July 20, 1969.

Armstrong cemented his role in history that day, becoming the first person to step foot on the moon. Today, walking on the lunar surface is an honor only 11 other men share. 

But the backstory of how Armstrong was selected for that job and his tumultuous path to the moon are less well known. 

In the movie "First Man," actor Ryan Gosling plays a young Armstrong in the ambitious and sometimes tragic lead-up to his unlikely journey to the moon. 

The film is based on the non-fiction book First Man, which was published by Armstrong's official biographer James Hansen 13 years ago. Nearly everything chronicled in the film is true (aside from the Hollywood makeup, perhaps), including Armstrong's near-death experience training to fly the moon lander and the death of a good friend who was chosen for the first Apollo mission.

Screenwriter Josh Singer spent four years researching and writing the movie, which already has some critics and fans buzzing about potential Oscar nominations.

"I was just knocked out by how much we don't know about Neil Armstrong,"Singer recently told Business Insider. 

Here are 22 true facts about Armstrong's life and the space race that the movie "First Man" recounts:

SEE ALSO: NASA turns 60 today, but the Apollo moon landing in 1969 is still arguably the agency’s greatest feat. See how the US pulled it off.

As the movie properly points out, Russian cosmonauts were ahead of the US at nearly every turn in the Cold War space race — until the moon landing.

The Russians launched Sputnik, the first satellite, in 1957. Then they sent dogs Belka and Strelka into space in 1960, and hit the moon first with its Luna probes. The nation was also the first to put people in space: Yuri Gagarin in 1961 and Valentina Tereshkova in 1963. Alexei Lenov did the first spacewalk in 1965.

Clearly, the US was lagging behind. 

Neil Armstrong worked as a test pilot at NASA for years before he went to the moon. He was the first civilian astronaut in space.

The class of X-15 test pilots that came before Armstrong were all active-duty members of the military. Many served in the Air Force or the Navy. Armstrong was in NASA's second class.

Armstrong was no stranger to tragedy. His daughter died at age two from a case of pneumonia while suffering from a malignant brain tumor.

Armstrong was grieving and wanted to "invest [his] energies in something very positive," his sister June told Hansen. "That's when he started into the space program." 

The American dining experience is vastly different state to state and restaurant to restaurant, but still wildly different from other countries' expectations. American restaurant sales reached nearly $800 billion in 2017, according to the National Restaurant Association, but with Americans spending about $55 billion a year on dining out, that's quite a few tourists dropping serious money on American cuisine.

Here are the things about American restaurants that people from other countries may find strange.

Tipping is not only pretty much mandatory in the US, but is expected to be at 15-20%.

Adding an additional payment to a meal for the hard work and good service of the staff is not required in several countries, such as Brazil, China, Belgium, and Australia.  

In the US, restaurant workers are legally allowed to be paid below minimum wage because tips are expected to make up the gap. According to the US Department of Labor, tipped employees are legally allowed to be given as little as under $5 an hour by their employers.

This contrasts to the fast-food workers in Denmark who make $20 an hour. Even in countries where tipping is standard, it's polite to only leave about 5-10% as a tip.

The waiters are more likely to introduce themselves in hopes of a tip.

Partly because your opinion of them contributes to how much money they'll make, American waiters are chattier. Because tips aren't customary in many other countries, the experience tends to differ.

Ben McPartland for The Local France wrote that "the majority of wait[ers] in the US … give you the impression you have made a new best friend for life, as soon as you walk in the establishment."

You may or may not prefer the alternative, which can be a waiter who you will only see to take your order, deliver your meals, and hand over the check.

Kids can order off their own menu.

There are plenty of think-pieces on the legitimacy of children's menus in American dining culture because they don't typically exist elsewhere. Children's menus in the US are often for people 12 and under and feature items like chicken tenders and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches regardless of the restaurant's type of food.

In many other countries, children under 12 will order off the adult menu, which some people argue leads them to try and crave different foods.

• In April, Brennan Walker, then 14, missed the bus to school, got lost, and stopped at Jeffrey Zeigler's house to ask for directions.
• Surveillance footage shows Zeigler, 53, shooting at Walker.
• Zeigler has been charged with assault with intent to murder.
• In court, Zeigler said he believed it was an attempted break-in, saying he is "tired of being a victim."

UPDATE: October 12, 2018: This post has been updated to include the jury's verdict.

A jury found a Rochester Hills, Michigan, man guilty of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, for pulling a gun on a 14-year-old boy who asked him for directions, ABC-affiliated WXYZ reported.

In April, Brennan Walker, who was 14 at the time, missed the bus to school and got lost as he attempted to walk there instead, according to The Oakland Press. On his way, Walker knocked on Jeffrey Zeigler's door to ask for directions. Zeigler has been accused of pulling a gun and shooting at the teen.

Zeigler, a retired firefighter, told investigators he and his wife believed the incident was an attempted break-in. The couple were on "high alert" because they had dealt with "multiple" home invasions in the past. The 53-year-old man said he ran out of his home with the shotgun, but said it fired accidentally when it slipped out of his hand. Meanwhile, his wife reportedly called 911.

Zeigler's attorney said this incident wasn't racially motivated, though Zeigler is white and Walker is black. "He has no signs, no history of racism," defense attorney Rob Morad said. "If there were any racial issues, he wouldn't have spent his career working in the city of Detroit."

Surveillance footage from the day shows Walker approaching the house, either knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell, and then running away when a shirtless Zeigler answers, holding a gun, which he then fires.

"When I saw that video, my thought process switched … I knew which direction I had to go. I was shocked," Detective Shawn Pace said in court on Tuesday, per The Oakland Press. At first, Pace had believed the incident to be an attempted break-in, but on second watch, the detective said he felt "charged up, because I was offended by what I had seen."

In court on Tuesday, Zeigler "emphatically denied ever taking aim" at Walker, The Oakland Press reported. At one point, Zeigler said that he was "tired of being a victim" in the situation.

A jury found Zeigler guilty on Friday, WXYZ reported. The man says he regrets what happened and if he could go back he would instead offer the teen a ride to school.

Zeigler's sentencing is scheduled for November 18. He could face up to life in prison.
