The new measures will take effect on February 1. Austrian Health Minister Wolfgang Mueckstein said the vaccination register will be checked every three months, with the first cutoff date being March 15. Government authorities will send letters to unvaccinated people who are unexempt at these three-month intervals reminding them to get the vaccine or a doctor-issued exemption by the next cutoff date. If they refuse, they will be fined until they comply....

Autophagy helps keep cells healthy. It can occur during sleep and other periods of short-term fasting, or be triggered by some medications. This article explains the four steps of autophagy, its benefits, and what occurs when this process malfunctions. Function Autophagy has important effects that occur both within and outside of a cell. Within the cell, autophagy can help: Decrease oxidative stress, or stress on the body caused by unstable molecules (free radicals) that can damage cells Keep genes stable Improve conversion of nutrients into energy Increase the elimination of waste...

The autopsy revealed that the pilot, Ara Zobayan, did not have either drugs or alcohol in his system, per a report from the Associated Press. Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash on the morning of January 26 near Los Angeles, California, on his way to a youth basketball game. Bryant’s daughter, 13-year-old Gianna, was among the nine people on board who died. There were no survivors. The autopsy reports for all victims say blunt trauma was the cause of death....

An MRI taken Thursday at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center revealed the torn labrum. He is scheduled to have surgery next week. Garcia was hurt while trying to make a diving catch on DJ LeMahieu's drive to right field in the sixth inning of Wednesday's loss at Colorado. The ball was jarred loose when Garcia hit the ground. The injury is a big blow to the White Sox, who are trying to bounce back from a 99-loss season....

As Nottage told Newsweek, “Kate and I have had a long collaboration that began with Intimate Apparel. We were introduced by a dramaturg named Jerry Patch who effectively set us up on a blind date saying, ‘I think the two of you will get along really well.’ Here we are 14 to 15 years later, still in a creative conversation.” What is unorthodox about this, Whoriskey told Newsweek, that when this happened, there was only half a script: “About 15 or 20 years ago, I don’t know exactly when, I was working in a theater that she was also working....

This article discusses the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment for axSpA. Types of Axial Spondyloarthritis The two types of axial spondyloarthritis are: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS): A form of arthritis that causes inflammation in the spine. The first symptom is typically chronic back pain (for three months or longer). Imaging tests can detect any damage to the bones and joints caused by AS-related inflammation. Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA): A form of arthritis that is diagnosed when a person has ankylosing spondylitis symptoms, but imaging tests are not able to detect damage to the bones or joints....

Greene suggested in a tweet on Wednesday that “brainwashed” Democrats from blue states should be given a “cooling down period” where they are not allowed to vote if they move to a red state. Although suspending voting rights for people who have moved states based on political affiliation would be clearly illegal, Greene argued that a ban could be possible during a so-called “National Divorce,” prompting Gallego to blast her for promoting civil war....

Now there’s a sense that the worst is past. After a bout of internal reform that saw, for example, the Yale School of Management unveil an entirely new curriculum last year, the numbers are back up. In the United States, B-school applications and enrollments are rising again, according to an industry survey released this month. Worldwide, corporate demand for new M.B.A.s has risen healthily this year (by 24 percent) for the first time since 2002....

Ethan Hendricks was born at only 30 weeks and he has lived his entire life in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) at Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital in Miramar Beach, Florida. He was “the smallest baby they had ever had,” his mom, Fawn Hendricks told Newsweek. She began posting videos of her premature baby to TikTok and one went viral after a person pointed out how much the baby looked like Jordan, who passed away in October....

The father Juan Rodriguez, 39, is a social worker and worked a full day at a veterans hospital in the Bronx about two blocks away from where he had parked. After working a full day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., he returned to his Honda sedan, to find the 1-year-old boy and girl, NYPD officials said in a news release. Friday’s temperatures in New York City reached a high of the mid-80s, according to the National Weather Service....

The story of the wallaby gets complicated, so try to stay with us. The wallaby started appearing on social media platforms from Michigan football players in late June.

The 15-second clip, posted by Leslie Munoz (aka @lesliemunnoz), offered a glimpse into the day of a Subway sandwich-making employee while simultaneously parenting. The TikTok video — set to Reba McEntire’s “I’m a Survivor” — has garnered nearly 3 million views and over 500,000 likes at the time of this post. According to Indeed, employees and former employees said that Subway doesn’t offer paid maternity leave but they can return to their job after taking unpaid time off....

Didier Deschamps’ side showed their resilience to edge out England, with a 2-1 win in the quarterfinals, and then to down a tough Morocco side in the semifinal round to secure a date with Argentina. France were looking to set a standard in modern World Cup memory by holding onto the trophy in the Middle East despite major changes from their 2018 side. But in a final that will be remembered through the ages, the Albiceleste triumphed on spot-kicks, after Kylian Mbappe had scored a hat-trick to rescue them a 3-3 draw after extra time....

The fact is that Burnett is an even stranger choice for “Putting It Together” than Kathie Lee. After all, “Together” –extensively reworked from the 1993 version starring Julie Andrews–features the songs of Stephen Sondheim, theater’s poet laureate of regret and recrimination. In a show that’s loosely about the disappointments of love and life, Burnett the un-diva seems to be in dire need of a bitchiness transfusion. But something remarkable happens in “Together....

PHOTO (COLOR): Johnny Reb vs. Billy Yank: Making military decisions, history be damned.

The state has been left in crisis, with power and water supplies impacted. There have been reports of people dying in attempts to keep warm. Photos which it has been alleged show the lawmaker on a plane heading to Cancun have gone viral. Cruz’s office has not publicly commented on the photos and has not confirmed whether he has traveled to or is in Cancun. Newsweek has not independently verified whether this is the case and has sought clarification from the senator’s team....

Americans used to kill for a house with cuddly wild animals gamboling nearby. Now, many suburbanites would like to kill the critters – raccoons, geese, beavers, even coyotes and bears – that are increasingly turning up as uninvited houseguests. It’s not just the nuisance factor. Michael Conover, a professor of wildlife science at Utah State University, estimates there are 1 million deer-vehicle collisions annually, at a cost of $1.1 billion....

Now things are lightening up with “a new generation of artists, many in their late 20s and 30s,” or so claims an exhibition entitled “Bad Girls” at New York’s The New Museum of Contemporary Art (in two consecutive parts through April 10). Well, it’s lightening up a little. Director Marcia Tucker, who organized the show and wrote one of the catalog essays, asks us to imagine the “transgressive potential” of “a lesbian cross-dresser who pumps iron, looks like Chiquita Banana, thinks like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, talks like Dorothy Parker, has the courage of Anita Hill, the political acumen of Hillary Clinton, and is as p—d off as Valerie Solanas [who tried to murder Andy Warhol in 1968]....
