It’s not clear how Adams will determine the risk level, but ending the mask requirement for public schools and day care facilities could start April 4, local NBC reporter Adam Kuperstein reported on Twitter. Earlier this month, the mayor made masks optional in schools for children 5 and older. But children aged 2 to 4 were still required to wear them because they are not eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine....
Those eligible for the vaccine can book an appointment at different pharmacies, including CVS, Walgreens and others, using their respective websites. Residents can check their eligibility using the Am I Eligible app, which is “the quickest way to see if you’re eligible,” the New York state health department website says. See the full list of those eligible for the vaccine at this time at the state health department website....
“The worst news is still tragic news. Number of deaths – 540. It’s not as high as it was. Still 540 people died yesterday, 540 people, 540 families,” Cuomo said at his daily coronavirus press conference Saturday. As Cuomo shifted to the topic of reopening the New York economy, he said that testing is the key to monitoring and controlling the rate of infection. The infection rate in the state is one person infecting 0....
De Blasio was venting his frustrations when a large crowd attended the funeral in the Williamsburg area of New York on Tuesday, resulting in the mayor going down to break up the service along with police. In a series of tweets, the mayor said that the “Jewish community” as well as other communities will face arrest if they continue to gather in large groups amid the coronavirus. According to Yeshiva World, the funeral which was attended by hundreds was that of Rabbi Chaim Mertz’s, who died from COVID-19 at the age of 73....
The practice of applying direct oral suction on the wound left behind by the removal of the foreskin—known in Hebrew as metzitzah b’peh—is not common in Judaism, but is practiced in some ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities. As is tradition, the unnamed boy was circumcised eight days after being born. Ten days later, a rash presented across his genitals, groin and posterior. He was taken to a hospital and a specimen was taken from a lesion, which tested positive for herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), responsible for most cold sores....
Milton recruits Lomax, seducing him with money, a lavish apartment and a corporate setting that looks like the digs of a Renaissance doge, complete with hot and hotter running bimbos. Lomax manfully tries to resist the bimbos, but he can’t resist Milton, whose vast office contains a huge, blazing fireplace, who speaks all languages, who travels only on the subway (underground, get it?). Well, long before poor Lomax has gotten it, everyone in the audience knows that Milton is the Devil....
Jang, a Korean American cleric, founded Olivet in 2000. His followers are now in the crosshairs of Department of Homeland Security investigators probing whether the university was part of a scheme to launder money for criminals in China and the United States. The stinging rebuke by New York’s Deputy Commissioner of Education cited “a pattern of mismanagement” at the university and its ties to “criminal activity” in ending Olivet’s authorization to operate credit-bearing courses or programs in New York....
New York Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs said that political campaign committees and associated groups advocating for the propositions never contacted the state party to request support, according to The Times-Union. Had the groups requested it, he added, the state party would’ve provided financial assistance, Jacobs said. “There was no initiative that we were asked to do by anybody to begin a campaign or undertake the financing of or the running of the campaign on these issues,” Jacobs told the publication....
In this Q&A, Wegman shares his favorite founding father, his predictions for the future of the Electoral College and why he never gets to sleep late. Why this book? The way we pick our president is one of the most hotly contested topics in American politics. Now that the popular-vote loser has won the presidency twice in the past two decades, it’s at the front of the public’s mind. And yet, I found virtually no general-interest books advocating for the national popular vote....
The New Zealand international received the Cowboys’ backing after a loss to Australia in the Four Nations final on Sunday. Taumalolo would be the latest to swap NRL for NFL, with Gold Coast Titans star Jarryd Hayne having made the San Francisco 49ers’ 53-man roster in 2015 before being released. The Cowboys confirmed news of the 23-year-old Taumalolo’s trial early Monday.

If the results are confirmed, the so-called X17 particle could help to explain dark matter, the mysterious substance scientists believe accounts for more than 80 percent of the mass in the universe. It may be the carrier of a “fifth force” beyond the four accounted for in the standard model of physics (gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force.) Smashing atoms Most researchers who hunt for new particles use enormous accelerators that smash subatomic particles together at high speed and look at what comes out of the explosion....
Directing is the key to filmmaking. Everything else is just paint. No, I’m very modern. I have someone that I yell at and they yell it out loud. This year it was Tom and Katie getting married at my house. He sent me a bottle of wine to thank me. With Brad and Angie, I say they’re not getting married and the press goes, “Arrgh!” The more you deny, the guiltier you sound....
It’s Thursday morning, and the children of NEWSWEEK parents-in the office for the company’s annual Take Your Kids to Work Day program-were sitting in on the magazine’s daily story meeting for the upcoming edition. For the kids, the privilege of being allowed to listen to what is usually a confidential planning session was something of a mixed blessing. “It’s boring because everything here is work, work, work,” says Lincoln Sherman, 8....
Yet analyst after analyst and TV host after TV host will claim if the election were held today Joe Biden would win—as if Trump supporters should panic or collapse in despair. To some extent, this kind of presentism even infects the White House and Republican leaders and activists. Yet presentism is incredibly misleading in a period of change. Remember: At this point in 2015, it was inconceivable that Donald Trump would become the Republican nominee....
Who knows more about accepting failure than Gingrich? Since resigning as House speaker in January 1999 and enduring a headline-making divorce, the former field marshal of the Republican revolution has been quietly reinventing himself as an Internet brand name. He still preaches his “Contract With America” gospel of limited, decentralized government, but his pulpit these days is a Web site. At Newt.org, Gingrich promotes his ideas for privatizing Social Security and touts his insights into the Internet’s influence on society....

Neymar has been linked with a move to Real Madrid after just one season at PSG, where he arrived in a world-record €222 million (£200m/$266m) switch from Barcelona last year. The 26-year-old’s dad has long acted as his advisor and also serves as his agent, but Neymar Jr. said any decisions about his career were in his own hands. “My father doesn’t take decisions for my career. I’m the one who decides about that,” he told Brazilian magazine VIP....
Messi is out of contract in 2018 and the 29-year-old is yet to sign fresh terms, having reportedly turned down an offer between €30million and €35m annually from the La Liga champions. Messi lookalike causes stir in Iran Barca vice-president Jordi Mestre claims a bumper extension remains on course and Neymar has urged the club’s hierarchy to get the deal done. “I have been here with Leo for four years, and I am learning every day: how to strike the ball, how to be alert during matches… Messi is from another planet,” Neymar – who has already signed a new contract along with Luis Suarez – told beIN Sports....
Wenger ‘didn’t see’ Alexis handball After equalling his fellow Brazilian’s tally during last month’s 4-0 Liga victory at Eibar, Neymar’s goal after 40 minutes moved him on to 95 for the Catalans. Ronaldinho is a Barca icon, having won two La Liga titles and the Champions League in a five-year spell with the club between 2003 and 2008, and was recently named a sporting ambassador for the Catalan club....
The Paris Saint-Germain forward has been out of action since February after breaking a bone in his foot. Neymar’s World Cup participation was initially in doubt but, despite missing the end of the season as PSG claimed a domestic treble, the former Selecao skipper should be fit for Russia. At a news conference on Wednesday, Brazil fitness coach Fabio Mahseredjian suggested Neymar is ahead of schedule in his recovery....
