US jury convicts New York subway bomber
NEW YORK — A US jury convicted a Brooklyn immigrant from Bangladesh of terrorism on Tuesday for detonating a bomb in a crowded New York subway passage near Times Square in the name of the Islamic State group. Akayed Ullah, 28, who migrated to the United States in 2011, was found guilty by a unanimous jury as Americans went to the polls in the midterm elections. His trial in Manhattan lasted a week. The December 11, 2017 blast wounded Ullah and three other people in a tunnel below the Port Authority bus terminal, not far from iconic Times Square. The bomb, which he strapped to his body with zip wires, failed to detonate as planned, and Ullah was left with burns to his torso and hands. His victims suffered minor complaints such as ringing in their ears and headaches.

Learning to nap in New York, city that never sleeps
New York is the city that never sleeps, but arduous commutes, hellish hours and ultra-competitive jobs mean even the most wired of party animals or dedicated employees have to recharge their batteries. But instead of knocking back a coffee or quaffing an energy drink, a growing number of New Yorkers are opting for a quick nap during office hours. With affluent Americans increasingly health conscious - indulging in fads such as green juice, hot-house yoga and matcha tea - a few pay-for-sleep businesses are now offering customers a little shut-eye on the QT. Nap York is one. Opening three months ago in a three-story building near Penn Station, $12 buys patrons 30 minutes in a wooden sleep cabin, day or night. "We wanted to accommodate all the exhausted New Yorkers," explains Stacy Veloric, the company's marketing director. "It's really hard to find peace and quiet within New York City." The business opened with seven cabins, but demand quickly exceeded supply and they added 22 more. Soon … [Read more...] about Learning to nap in New York, city that never sleeps

Viet Nam News NEW YORK — The MTV Video Music Awards, the televised gala known for headline-grabbing performances and celebrity antics, will return to New York on August 20.

"New York City’s creative energy has always fueled those who live and work here. This is where music, film, and art collide and where the Video Music Awards were born," Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.
